Mowditate

Read full description

Unwind on your own terms. Mowditate gives you a quiet, focused space where you decide how, when, and with what you meditate. It’s designed to get you into a session with as few taps as possible β€” whether you want a simple timer, a breathing exercise, or a guided meditation. Mowditate is built in layers. Use only the parts that are useful to you and leave the rest untouched. Statistics, streaks, badges, exercises, guided content, and Mowditate+ are there when you want them, but they never need to become part of your meditation routine. If all you want is a timer, Mowditate can simply be a timer. The layers you don’t use simply stay out of your way. β€’ Set a fixed duration or meditate without a time limit. Add interval gongs, choose a background, and adjust your session the way you like it. β€’ Use breathing and grounding exercises when you want something a little more active, including Box Breathing, Resonant Breathing, and 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding. β€’ Turn on Mindfulness Focus automatically for meditations and exercises after a one-time setup with Shortcuts. β€’ Meditate in silence, use your own audio files, or listen with Apple Music. β€’ On iPhone Duo, Mow stays by your side as you meditate with the device unfolded in landscape. β€’ Use Mowditate on Apple Watch to meditate, track your sessions, or start breathing and grounding exercises right from your wrist. β€’ Follow an active meditation from the Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, or Apple Watch with Live Activities. β€’ Save your mindful minutes to Apple Health and see your meditation history, streaks, and statistics whenever you’re interested in your progress. β€’ Unlock badges as you explore Mowditate. They’re designed as small extras rather than goals you have to chase β€” ignore them completely if that’s more your style. β€’ Learn more about meditation and mindfulness in the Meditation Knowledge section. β€’ No account required. No tracking. MOWDITATE+ Mowditate+ adds another optional layer with guided meditations, relaxation techniques, and courses with adjustable session lengths. It doesn’t change the core timer experience β€” use guided content when you want it, and return to a simple meditation timer whenever you don’t. Included guided content: β€’ Body Scan β€’ Autogenic Training β€’ Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation β€’ Metta β€’ Chakra Meditation β€’ Tonglen β€’ Interconnectedness β€’ 7-day course: Meditation Basics β€’ Seasonal RauhnΓ€chte course, available from December 25 to January 6 Guided content for Mowditate+ is currently available in English and German. Whether you want five quiet minutes, a breathing exercise, a longer guided meditation, or simply a timer that stays out of your way, Mowditate lets you choose what fits right now.

OPUS Loop is a simple meditation timer and sound player.. No subscription. No account. Set up your presets, build your library, and practice however you want. Forever. **What it is** It's a customizable tool for meditation, deep work, prayer or whatever ritual centers you. Underneath that simplicity, OPUS Loop allows you to build unlimited presets, each with its own soundtrack, bell configuration, background visuals, and reminder schedule. Set them up once. Switch between them with a swipe. They're yours to keep. **What it isn't** It doesn't sell content. It doesn't pretend to improve your life. It's a tool, and tools work best when they stay out of the way. OPUS Loop doesn't teach you how to meditate, but does include a list of free online resources that you can learn from. **Your library, your way** Import guided meditations, mantras, or music from your files or iCloud Drive. Use Apple Music tracks or playlists or use the built-in procedurally generated soundscapes: binaural beats (2Hz, 4Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz), white noise, pink noise, brown noise, dark noise. Or just sit in silence. **Bells and timing** Customizable start, end, and interval bells. **Built for your ecosystem** - Apple Health: Toggle tracking mindful minutes on or off - Apple Watch: start, pause, and track sessions from your wrist - Mind & Body mode: Track your Heart Rate during meditation or any other mindful activity you do, like ecstatic dance or yoga. - Live Activities: session progress on your Lock Screen - iCloud: your library and settings sync across devices. Simply add new sounds to your library in the app's iCloud folder and they'll appear in your Loop library. - Siri Shortcuts: automate your practice **Privacy by design** OPUS Loop does not operate any servers. There is no account to create, no data to upload, no tracking of any kind. Your sessions, your library, your settings stay on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We don't know who you are, and we prefer it that way. **Spiritually inclusive** No philosophy imposed. No tradition assumed. Whether you follow a teacher, a tradition, or your own instinct, OPUS Loop is a container for your practice, not a voice in it. --- Made in Romania by OPUS.
