MEDITATION FOR THE DAY YOU'RE ACTUALLY HAVING Tell Dojo how you feel and how much time you have. Sensei, your teacher in the app, puts together a session for right now: the practices, the narrator, the sounds and the length. Want it shorter or with less talking? Just say so, and the session changes right there. A TEACHER WHO ALREADY KNOWS YOU Sensei remembers your level, what you like and what helps, from your first session to your hundredth. Awake at 3 a.m., a big call in ten minutes, a slow start to the morning: each moment gets its own practice. SEE YOUR BODY SLIP INTO RECOVERY Meditate with Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3, WHOOP or Fitbit and Dojo shows your heart rate live. After the session you see how far your body settled, measured against your own resting heart rate: Recovery, Deep recovery or Elite recovery. Sensei uses what settled you to shape your next sessions. No wearable? Dojo works fine without one. A FREQUENCY FOR EVERY SESSION Each session layers a guiding voice with music, nature sounds and a binaural beat: 2 Hz for sleep, 10 Hz to unwind, 14 Hz for focus. Best with headphones. MAKE IT YOURS, THEN SHARE IT Build your own session step by step from breathwork, body scans, mantras and quiet time, then choose the music and sounds. Send any session to someone you love with a link. SMALL SESSIONS ADD UP Progress keeps your streaks, practice minutes and heart-rate records in one place, so you can watch the habit build. FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONERS Never meditated? Start with two minutes. Years of practice? Ask for thirty minutes, mostly silence. Heart-rate information is for your own reference. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose or treat any condition. SUBSCRIPTIONS The yearly plan may begin with a 7-day free trial for eligible users. The monthly plan starts as a paid subscription. Available offers and eligibility are shown before purchase.

Most people train hard and remember none of it. You finish a session, you feel good or you feel flat, and by next week it's gone. No record. No pattern. No idea whether you're actually getting better or just getting tired. Forge fixes that. Log your sessions in seconds — rolls, rounds, lifts, calls, miles, whatever your game is. Then Forge does the part you can't: it reads your history back to you and tells you what's really going on. Not cheerleading. Not "great job." Real patterns pulled from your own numbers. Which days you show up sharpest. The mistake that keeps costing you. What separates the sessions where you're a problem from the ones where you're just there. The stuff you'd never catch on your own because you're too close to it. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY TRAIN Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Wrestling. Boxing. Kickboxing and MMA. Powerlifting. Running. Sales. Or build your own template for anything you want to get better at. Forge bends to your discipline instead of forcing you into someone else's checklist. WHAT YOU GET — Fast logging that fits your sport, not a generic gym app — AI insights after every session, tied to your real data — Progress charts that show whether you're actually trending up — A weekly read on your patterns and habits — Goals and streaks that keep you honest — Import your old spreadsheet and pick up right where you left off Talent is common. The people who pull ahead are the ones who pay attention. Forge makes paying attention automatic. Progress is built, not given. Come build it on purpose.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Forge at 5.0 against Dojo's 4.5. Forge also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Dojo's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Forge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dojo has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Dojo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Forge's.
