Read full description

Tiggon is an internal training system app built on the principles of traditional Chinese internal martial arts. It does not simply place old methods into a phone. Instead, it reorganizes them in a modern way, creating an internal training system truly suited for modern users. It is not yoga. It is not meditation. It is not stretching. And it is not just another fitness app. Tiggon focuses on a deeper layer of physical training: how breathing enters the body, how the tendons and bones establish support, and how scattered force becomes unified strength. To achieve this, Tiggon translates traditional internal training experience β€” often fragmented, obscure, and difficult to explain β€” into a methodical system that modern users can understand, practice, accumulate, and benefit from over time: the Three Foundations of Internal Training. Breath Cultivation is rhythm. Structural Power is foundation. Unified Force is integration. Tiggon modernizes and reconstructs the traditional internal training system, making content that once often required lineage, teachers, and years of oral transmission accessible for the first time in a form that modern users can understand, practice, and build upon: 100+ single-form training methods, including many exclusive traditional Chinese internal training methods revealed publicly for the first time. A wide range of progressive practice sequences, helping users of different stages and ages enter the right training state more easily. Insight articles that explain difficult traditional concepts in a way beginners can understand. A practice rhythm engine based on the ACWR model, helping users keep their bodies in an optimal training state and build a sustainable exercise habit. Tiggon is designed natively for iOS and created specifically for the modern iPhone experience. It is also built to evolve into the future AI era. We are continuously developing real-time interactive 3D animation demonstrations, as well as AI-powered movement recognition and scoring, so that movements no longer have to be understood only through imagination, and practice no longer has to be judged only by feeling.

About

Inner Light

Inner Light is an alarm that opens into a morning. At the hour you choose, your phone plays a melody you have not heard before β€” through Silent mode and Sleep Focus, because it is a real alarm. What it opens into is not a snooze button. THE FIRST MINUTE ASKS FOR NOTHING The screen comes up from near-black to dawn while a calm voice says four things, none of them an instruction. Good morning. There's no hurry. Let your eyes open when they want to. Nothing is measured and nothing is timed. Waking takes fifteen to thirty minutes and no app shortens it, so this one keeps you company instead. THEN IT ASKS FOR ONE SMILE That is the whole of it. The bell draws away when you smile, and the morning is done. You can go and have your day. ONE WORD FOR THE MORNING Then one word for how you are: bright, steady, calm, soft, slow, sleepy, full or restless. Or say a sentence instead; it is turned into text on your phone and nowhere else. AND THE PRACTICE WAITS Your breath and your waking pulse are offered afterwards, with a Later beside them. Six minutes, whenever you want them β€” or not at all. The thing that insists asks for the least; what asks for more cannot insist. TEN TRADITIONS, 250 PRACTICES Reiki, the hands-on Japanese practice. Pranayama, the breath. Qigong, slow movement. Bhavana, cultivating the mind. Hatha, postures and long holds. Nada Yoga, sound and listening. LΓΆyly, heat and cold. Nidra, sleep and deep rest. Shinrin-yoku, light and slow attention. Notes to Self, the Stoic journal brought up to date. YOUR FIELD, TWENTY-ONE DAYS Practices from seven traditions that describe a field of energy around the body, one a day for three weeks: Ki breathing, the Taoist inner smile and small circuit, Reiki's gassho and Cho Ku Rei, a shamanic drum journey, Naqshbandi breath presence, a singing bowl bath, Ho'oponopono. One day watches your heart rise and fall with your breath, live, through the camera. The tradition's account of the field is offered as experience; what the app measures is your pulse. ONE IMAGE A DAY A room, the weather, a river, a shore: a place to picture each day in Notes to Self, written down and brought back to the day in one line. A MONTH OF YOUR OWN MORNINGS Each morning is one line: your waking pulse, its word, and that you were there. A month of them reads as a shape β€” one you begin to recognise. A waking pulse moves with sleep, a late meal, a cold coming on; this is for noticing your own shape over weeks, and it is not a medical measurement. HONEST BY DESIGN Traditional practices are named as traditional. Evidence-based ones cite their sources inside the app. Practices involving cold, heat, breath retention or movement carry plain safety notes. Nothing here treats or cures anything, and none of it replaces care from a health professional. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The smile is read on your device and the frame discarded. The pulse reads light through a fingertip and keeps only the number. One practice listens for your out-breath and measures loudness alone. A sentence you choose to say about your morning is turned into text on the device. No audio is recorded or sent anywhere. Your history stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. FREE AND PAID Every tradition keeps one practice free, forever β€” ten in all, and the morning offers you a different one each day. The alarm, the morning, your calendar of mornings, the first three days of Your Field and the daily image are free and stay free. Unlock a single tier for its traditions, or All-Access for all 250 practices, every soundscape and your full history.
