Some days ask more of you than others. Rainfall notices — and meets you with one quiet, well-chosen practice, before you have to ask. A forecast, not a feed Open the app and Rainfall has already sensed the weather of your day — partly cloudy, building pressure, gentle rain — from signals already on your iPhone. No check-ins to remember. No streak to keep. No library to search. If the read doesn't fit, tap "not quite" and tell it what does. It remembers. One practice, chosen for you Each read offers a single short session from a library of original meditations — guided by one of seven distinct voices, set over original ambient beds. Three minutes when that's what fits. Twenty when the day calls for it. Nothing to scroll through unless you want to. Soundscapes to settle into When words aren't what you need, drift off to an endless soundscape — gentle rain, wind, and more — that plays on as long as you like. Your sky, your settings Choose one of five living-sky app icons — Sky, Dusk, Night, Mist, Dawn — so Rainfall sits on your home screen the way you'd like. The Climate tab keeps a quiet weekly record of your weather. The You tab holds your subscription and notifications. Built around one promise: this stays on your iPhone Rainfall reads your day's signals — heart-rate variability, sleep, calendar density — on-device. The raw signals never leave your phone. The Mind Weather inference happens locally. Your weather history syncs only through your own iCloud, never our servers. Mindful minutes are written to Apple Health, where you already trust them. Rainfall is suggestive — never diagnostic. It is not a medical device, a therapy, or a substitute for either. Rainfall Extended A subscription unlocks the longer sessions — 10 or 20 minutes — and every soundscape. The free tier stays free, always: the daily Read, the three- and five-minute sessions, and a soundscape to drift off to. No time limit, no pressure. Feelings are weather. Weather passes. We'll meet you on the other side. Terms of Use (EULA): https://rainfallmeditation.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://rainfallmeditation.com/privacy Rainfall Extended is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly). The price is shown in the app before purchase and charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Mindless Labs against 5.0 for Rainfall. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindless Labs has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
