Somewhere between a prayer and a poem, a 13th-century mystic is waiting to answer your question. RumiVerse brings the wisdom of Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī — poet, philosopher, and Sufi mystic — into your daily life as a living practice, not a passive read. Whether you're heartbroken, lost, seeking meaning, or simply curious about what one of history's greatest souls had to say, this app meets you exactly where you are. WISDOM — Ask Rumi Hold a question in your heart. Tap Ask. A poem arrives word by word, like a message carried across 800 years. Wisdom is the heart of RumiVerse — an intimate, meditative experience unlike anything else. Not a chatbot. Not a random quote generator. A moment of genuine reflection, grounded in Rumi's actual poetry. You can also browse suggested questions when you don't know where to begin. JOURNAL — Your Sacred Space A private, encrypted space to go deeper. Each day opens with Today's Meditation — a Rumi verse paired with a 3-breath contemplation to ground you before you write. Reflect on Your Wisdom connects your last received poem directly to the page as a seed for reflection. Rumi-grounded prompts guide you gently when words don't come. Your journal is yours alone — never shared, never analyzed. DAILY — A New Poem Every Morning Each morning brings a fresh Rumi poem in English alongside its original classical Persian — because the beauty of his words in Farsi is part of the gift. Every poem includes a reflection prompt and Going Deeper Sufi context, so you understand not just what Rumi said, but the world his words came from. INNER GARDEN — Curated Emotional Journeys Fifteen themed collections built for the moments life brings: When You're Heartbroken. When You Feel Alone. When You've Lost Your Way. Each journey includes 5–6 poems, an opening meditation, and a closing practice — a complete experience for when you need Rumi most. THE LINEAGE — Rumi's Story How does a brilliant Islamic scholar become the world's most-read poet? Meet Shams-e Tabrizi. Witness the transformation. Understand the Masnavi, the Divan-e Shams, and why Rumi's words have moved millions across 800 years. The Lineage is a rich, warm retelling — not an encyclopedia entry. AND MORE Masnavi guided reading. Seven ambient soundscapes — the haunting Ney flute, Zikr chant, rain, silence. Shareable cards. A Sacred Calendar of Sufi traditions. PREMIUM Free access includes one Wisdom per week, two Inner Garden journeys, and seven journal entries — enough to feel the depth. Premium unlocks everything: unlimited Wisdom, all 15 Inner Garden journeys, unlimited journaling, all soundscapes, and every Daily poem with full context. $6.99 / month or $39.99 / year — with a 3-day free trial. No commitment required. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." — Rumi That field is here. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ — What's New in 1.1 Wisdom now suggests questions to ask Rumi, so you always have a place to begin. The Journal has a new daily meditation section that grounds your writing before it starts, and now reflects your last Wisdom poem back to you as a journaling seed. 65 Rumi poems now include authentic classical Persian text alongside their English translations. New poems added throughout. Soundscape player updated for notched and Dynamic Island phones.

How we see the world shapes how we live. Walk With Buddha is a gentle daily guide for beginners who want to explore Buddhist wisdom and bring it into ordinary life. Each short session follows a thoughtful rhythm: • Begin with a quiet arrival and a human story. • Learn a Buddhist teaching in clear, approachable language. • Reflect privately on how the teaching meets your life. • Carry one practical invitation into the day. • Sit with meditation and mindful attention. Over time, learners may understand struggle more clearly, recognize patterns of reactivity, and cultivate greater compassion, connection, steadiness, and freedom in how they respond. Difficulty does not simply disappear; the practice offers a different way to meet it. FOLLOW A COHERENT PATH The launch includes 189 authored sessions across five connected arcs. Begin with Buddhist foundations, then continue through the Four Noble Truths, impermanence, the Eightfold Path, and heart practices. A living garden evolves with your progress as a quiet reminder that growth is cultivated over time. PRIVATE AND DEVICE-CENTERED There is no account, advertising, public feed, score chasing, or social comparison. Journal entries and learning progress are kept locally by the app. The developer does not operate a journal or progress cloud-sync service. If a technical crash report is waiting, you decide whether to send or delete it. PRACTICE BEYOND THE SESSION Optional daily reminders and a Home Screen widget help keep your latest practice invitation close without turning the path into pressure. BEGIN FREE Sessions 1–4 are always available as a free preview. An optional monthly or annual subscription unlocks Session 5 and the continuing path. Apple manages billing, renewals, cancellations, and purchase history. Walk With Buddha offers educational and contemplative material. It is not a medical or mental-health service and does not promise a particular outcome. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
