MindMellow starts with how you are, not with a library. Check in each day with a single tap. That answer shapes what the app suggests: a grounding session on a hard day, something for focus when you're steady, a wind-down when it's late. Over time, MindMellow shows you what actually helps — your mood on the days you practise, set against the days you don't. GUIDED SESSIONS, SPOKEN 37 guided meditations across sleep, anxiety, focus, gratitude and foundations, from a 60-second reset to a 12-minute body scan. Every session is spoken over a soft bed of rain, waves or forest that you can change or turn off, and the whole library works offline. SEVEN COURSES Multi-day programmes that build a practice one short session at a time: a 7-day foundations course, a 14-day anxiety reset, and more. BREATHE — ALWAYS FREE Six breathing patterns with a pacer that expands and settles with you. 4-7-8 for calming down, box breathing for focus, a two-minute reset for the moment you need one. SLEEP Eleven wind-downs and a set of soundscapes. When you open a sleep session the whole app turns dark, so the last thing on your screen is quiet. JOURNAL Write a line after a session while it's still with you, or come back later. Guided prompt packs go deeper when you want them. A FREE TIER THAT'S ACTUALLY USEFUL 12 sessions, one full course, every breathing pattern, mood check-ins and the journal are free. Premium adds the full library, all courses, the sleep collection, mood insights and prompt packs. PREMIUM Try everything free for 7 days. Then $119.99 per year or $12.99 per month.
