Build a meditation practice that feels truly yours. Shape each session with a flexible meditation timer, watch your personal Mandala bloom as you practice, and capture how every meditation feels with free reflections and journaling. An Apple Design Award finalist for Visuals and Graphics, Meditate brings your practice to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. MEDITATE YOUR WAY Keep your timer simple or shape every stage of your meditation. Choose a fixed duration or an open goal, set alerts at chosen moments or repeating intervals, select sounds or haptics, and meditate with ambient music or Apple Music. Save complete sessions as Timer Presets so they are always ready. On supported devices, simply describe the meditation you want and let Meditate configure it for you. If you continue beyond the completion alert, Meditate keeps tracking your extra time. WATCH YOUR MANDALA GROW Your personal Mandala blooms as you meditate. Return each day, maintain your streak, and watch your practice take shape over time. REFLECT ON EVERY SESSION Record how you felt before and after meditating, capture your thoughts, and add or edit a reflection for each day. All reflection and journaling features are free, helping you notice how your practice feels—not only how long it lasts. You can also log meditations completed outside the app so your history, goals, and streaks remain accurate. UNDERSTAND YOUR PRACTICE Explore today’s progress, your past seven days, monthly calendars, individual sessions, and long-term statistics. Meditation Insights helps you discover meaningful patterns across your practice. Ask Meditate lets you ask questions about your meditation history and receive answers grounded in your recorded sessions. You choose whether optional information from reflections and Apple Health can contribute to your insights. With Meditate Premium, connect Apple Health to bring mindful minutes and supported sessions from other apps into your history. Track heart rate during supported sessions and relate sleep and State of Mind to your practice. MADE FOR APPLE WATCH Meditate works independently on Apple Watch. Run advanced sessions, use Timer Presets, monitor heart rate, record reflections and State of Mind, review your progress, and keep your practice within reach with complications and Smart Stack widgets.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: mTracker at 5.0 against Meditate's 4.5. Meditate's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 2) and review sentiment (72% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meditate sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and mTracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mTracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meditate has 119 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Meditate's written reviews are positive against 50% of mTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
