Vive turns mindfulness into something you actually do — short, focused sessions called Boosts that fit into your day without rearranging it. Guided audio and video across meditation, breathwork, activations, sensory exercises, and reflections. Pick one. Do it. Feel the difference. Track how you actually feel Before and after every Boost, Vive asks for a quick mood check-in. Over time, your Stats dashboard shows which activities actually move the needle for you — not in theory, but in your own data. Mood trends, top-performing Boosts, daily streaks. Real signal, not just good intentions. Clinically grounded anxiety tracking Every two weeks, Vive walks you through the GAD-7 — a brief, validated anxiety questionnaire used by therapists worldwide. Your scores are tracked over time so you can see real change, not just how you feel today. Build sessions your way Chain multiple Boosts into a single custom session with the Session Builder. Breathwork into meditation into reflection — whatever combination fits your headspace. Vive tracks your mood through the whole thing so you can see how each activity builds on the last. Make it social Add friends, see their activity, and compete to see who actually shows up. Vive's social feed and friend competitions make it harder to quietly quit — and a lot more fun to keep going. Points, streaks, and reasons to come back Every Boost earns points. Consistency builds streaks. It's a small thing, but showing up is the whole point — and Vive is designed to make that easier.

Glowm is your personal soundscape mixer. Blend white noise, nature sounds, city noises, chill beats, and real artist soundscapes into a mix that's entirely yours, then watch the whole app bloom with the colors of your sound. A LIVING GLASS ORB Your mix, visualized. Every sound has a signature color, and the orb (and the entire app) shifts to match your blend. Silence rests in deep purple; sound blooms everything into color. MIX AND BLEND FREELY • 60+ sounds across six collections • Color noise: white, pink, brown, blue, violet, and green • Nature & life: rain, thunder, creeks, crickets, and an owl waking up • City life: coffee shops, wet streets, and NYC nights • Chill beats: lo-fi loops cut to the same bar, so stacked beats stay locked together • Binaural beats: Delta, Theta, and Alpha tones (best with headphones) • Soundscapes: ethereal beds of choir, lunar pads, and starlight ARTIST SOUNDSCAPES Real artists, released as stems you can remix. Fade the layers of one composition in and out; everything stays locked to the pulse. MADE FOR SLEEP AND FOCUS • Runs all night, with Lock Screen and AirPods controls • One-tap quick mixes: Sleep, Focus, Chill, Meditate, and more • Save favorites and bring them back in a tap • A built-in night light: pull down and the orb fills the screen QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No account. No tracking. A generous free library, sound packs at $1.99 each, and Glowm Unlimited ($3.99/month or $19.99/year) for everything, including every sound we ever add.
