Fluxa makes it simple to support your cognitive health with easy-to-use tools for structured breathing, meditation, focus, and sleep. It helps you build a consistent practice through a clean, uncluttered design that works seamlessly across iPhone and Apple Watch, with full HealthKit tracking. Despite being free, the app is carefully designed and deeply integrated: start sessions hands-free with Siri Shortcuts, control them using Dynamic Island and Lock Screen controls, and create your own breath programs with multiple voice options. Meditation & Breathwork Fluxa focuses on the essentials: guided breathing timers, meditation, session tracking, and background noise. Create your own breathing routines, choose from a variety of voices, and set optional reminders to stay consistent. Background Noise for Focus & Sleep A dedicated screen offers curated ambient soundscapes to support focus, relaxation, and sleep. Background Noise is intentionally untracked, giving you a calm space without adding to your mindful-minute totals. Track Progress and Receive Feedback Maya, Fluxa’s mascot, practices with you and provides gentle feedback based on your activity. Track progress through daily streaks, mindful minutes, weekly averages, recent trends, and more. View your data clearly on the Progress Screen with beautiful, easy-to-read charts. Designed for Simplicity & Long-Term Use Fluxa was built by an instructor at Champlain College as a real-world example of modern JavaScript and React development, guided by a data-driven mindset and a personal commitment to meditation and long-term cognitive health. Whether you’re building a breathwork habit, meditating regularly, or simply looking for a calm space to focus, Fluxa offers modern, dependable features that make mindfulness easy to return to.
