U1 vs Anima

U1-MA is a mindfulness app designed to ease your meditation routine. It doesn't ask you to set up a timer. You can meditate for as long as you want. Instead of field recordings or spiritual sounds, it uses haptics that gives you a tactile experience comparable to thumbing through a loop of prayer beads. The app is made with your privacy in mind. No registration. No ads. Mindful minutes are recorded directly to Apple Health. There is no subscription or in-app purchases.

You've tried to meditate. You've sat down, started counting your breaths from 1 to 10....and your mind wandered off somewhere around four. So you decided you're just bad at this. You're not. Counting is a thought, and you can't quiet a busy mind with another thought. What can hold attention is perhaps something you can feel: a steady, physical rhythm to come back to each time you drift. Anima is that anchor. A gentle pulse that rises and falls with your breath, so following it takes no counting and no willpower. Close your eyes and just feel it. When your mind wanders (and it will) the pulse is right there to come back to. It was built by someone who spent three years failing to make meditation stick, until a breath they could feel finally made it consistent. This is that, made into an app. — Apple Watch + iPhone — Practice on your wrist for an eyes-closed, screen-free session, or on your phone with full-screen visuals. Your settings stay in sync across both. — A breath you can feel, hear, and see — The pulse is quickens and softens with the natural arc of your inhale and exhale, so the rhythm feels alive rather than mechanical. Feel it as vibrations on your wrist through your watch or while holding your phone in your lap. Hear the pulse through your earbuds or out loud. — A living sphere — A field of light gently expands and contracts with your breath. Watch it, or let it fade to the edge of awareness as you rest with your eyes closed. Choose from a curated set of palettes, or craft your own. — Make it yours — Adjust session length, breath patterns (box, 4-7-8, and more), haptic intensity, and palettes. Build a practice that fits your day. Start with a 7-day free trial. After that, unlock Anima for life with a one-time payment at the price you can afford: $4.99, $12.99, or $24.99.
