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. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH Start a meditation or check your progress from widgets, the Lock Screen, Control Center, Shortcuts, Siri, and Live Activities. Use Siri or Spotlight to find past sessions on supported devices, and keep your meditation history, reflections, and progress up to date across your devices with iCloud. Share sessions, achievements, and statistics as beautiful artwork, with personalized visuals available on supported devices. MADE FOR APPLE VISION PRO Meditate is also available on Apple Vision Pro, bringing your meditation practice into a beautifully immersive spatial experience.
