Sitill is a sitting journal designed for the simple act of pausing. Life is always moving forward. We commute, work, wait, read, listen to music, watch films, eat, and often forget to notice how we actually feel. Sitill creates a small space for you to pause: not to be more productive, not to complete another task, but simply to sit quietly for a while and gently return to the present moment. You can sit by the sea and watch the waves rise and fall, rest on a park bench and notice the small light in the grass, look at ripples fading across a lake, or leave a quiet moment for yourself in an airport lounge, a café, on your commute, or in a room late at night. #Sitting Journal Choose a sitting scene and begin a quiet moment. You can record what you are doing, where you are, and the sounds, light, scents, images, and physical sensations around you. Sitill helps you keep track of the time you spend sitting, so a few minutes of daydreaming, reading, listening to music, watching a film, eating, waiting, or meditating can become a moment of life that was truly felt. Sitill is not a to-do list, and it is not a productivity tool. It is not about what you have completed. It is about whether you have paused for a moment and noticed what you are experiencing. #Review Your Moments After a sitting session, you can add your mood, state, and more details, or simply skip it and keep the record light. Each entry is saved as a small piece of life that you can return to later. When you look back at your past sitting records, you may meet again the sunlight of a quiet afternoon, the feeling brought by a song, the calm of a moment spent waiting, the aroma after a meal, or the lingering mood after a story ends. These small feelings may seem ordinary at the time, but together they become a trace of how you have lived with life. #Marks of Time Every pause is a mark of time spent with yourself. Through badges, statistics, and traces, Sitill records the time you have sat, the scenes you often return to, the activities you often do, and the moments that time has gently kept. You can look back at your sitting habits, and through each badge, see how you once paused, how you became quiet, and how you came closer to life again. #Atmosphere and Personalization You can choose sounds that fit your sitting moment and create an atmosphere closer to where you are. Ocean waves, rain, fire, wind, and other quiet backgrounds can accompany you into a more natural pause. Sitill also offers personalization options such as theme colors, fonts, and home scenery, making this space feel closer to your own taste and rhythm of life. It does not rush you or ask for more. It simply stays with you as you sit for a while. - Perfect For Moments When You Want To - Take a short pause in a busy day - Record small but real feelings in everyday life - Preserve a moment from reading, music, films, meals, or travel - Build a steadier sense of self-awareness - Have a private space that does not judge or rush you - Look back on how you once lived, felt, and became quiet The salty scent in the air, the clear light on the tips of grass, the melody in your headphones, the glow on a screen, the aroma at the table, the brown trace at the bottom of a cup, the scattered sunlight on the ground, the lightness of your steps after your mind becomes clear… These moments may not be grand, but they are what life is made of. Sit for a while, and let life pause for a moment.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sitill at 5.0 against Sounds True's 4.6. Sitill also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Sounds True's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
