Meditation Stillness vs Sober Help Now

Meditation Stillness is a calm, focused meditation timer for people who just want to sit and breathe — no social feed, no course library, no leaderboards. Just your practice, and a tool that quietly supports it. No account is required and no data is collected. Your sessions, streaks, and progress live on your device — or in your own iCloud account. If you decide not to upgrade, Basic mode has everything you need to continue your practice. TIMER Set your session length — from 1 minute to several hours — and let it run. Interval bells help you stay present without watching the clock. The timer keeps running and the bells still ring with the screen locked. Choose from a variety of ambient sounds, bell sounds, and interval bell sounds to accompany your meditation. PROGRESS The app tracks your sessions, streaks, and milestones. If you choose, a daily reminder gently nudges you to meditate — and stays quiet on days you already have. Achievements mark meaningful moments in your practice without demanding perfection. There is no competitive meditation here. REFLECTIONS — NEW IN 2.0 Quotes, Gratitude, and Affirmations live on the other side of your Home tab. A curated quote and affirmation arrive each day, or write your own. Keep a gratitude list, filed by day. Save the ones you love, and pin a quote and an affirmation to your Home tab. Everything syncs between your devices through your private iCloud. FREE TRIAL, THEN YOURS Your free 15-day trial gives you full access to everything — the complete sound library, custom quick-start durations, iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad, detailed stats and calendar history, writing your own quotes, gratitude, and affirmations, and the ability to export and import your full meditation history. After the trial, Basic mode stays free for as long as you want it. You keep the timer, your stats, your streaks, and your achievements. Basic mode includes two ambient sounds and four bell sounds — enough to build a real practice without spending a thing. Your daily quote and affirmation still arrive, and everything you've saved stays. The only thing that stops is adding new ones. When you're ready to go further, a single one-time payment unlocks everything permanently — no subscription, no recurring charges, ever. WHY IT STAYS SIMPLE Meditation apps have a habit of growing louder over time. What starts as a quiet timer slowly becomes something you have to dig through just to find the meditation button. I built Meditation Stillness for myself — an app that made it easy to just start meditating. It will grow, but keeping it simple is the goal. Every feature has to earn its place, and if a new feature creates noise, I won't ship it. Try everything free for 15 days. After that, Basic mode is yours to keep — no charge, no pressure. Upgrade when it feels right.

Sober Help Now is a simple, in-the-moment support tool for people who want help resisting a drinking urge. This is not a tracker app. There are no streaks, charts, or pressure-filled progress screens. The goal is simpler: open the app when you need help, tap the button that matches what is happening, and get clear, specific actions you can take right now. Use Sober Help Now when: • You want a drink • The urge feels urgent • You feel restless • The urge is getting stronger • You are about to drink • People are drinking around you • You are alone and thinking about drinking • You are starting to justify drinking • You drank and need to reset The app includes practical tools like a 10-minute urge timer, breathing prompts, action checklists, social scripts, thought interrupters, an escalation ladder, and short distraction passages. Sober Help Now is designed to reduce friction in vulnerable moments. It gives you something concrete to do before the urge turns into action.
