About

Mossu

Features
Read full description

Mossu is a meditation timer paired with a moss-pet growing game, built for people whose minds keep replaying work long after the workday ends. You closed your laptop, but the meeting is still running in your head. You clocked out, but a mistake or tomorrow's schedule won't let go. Mossu gives that moment a short, quiet ritual: set the work down, and return to your own time. WHEN MEDITATION NEVER STUCK BEFORE A wandering mind isn't failure here. However many times a thought resurfaces, the session still counts as complete - there's no focus score, no "well done" grading. Sit for three minutes, or even one, and returning to your breath is enough. A MOSS COMPANION THAT GROWS QUIETLY Every completed session helps your moss, Mossu, grow a little. Skipping a day never makes it wither, and there's no guilt for taking a break. Mossu you've met are recorded in an Encounter collection, and reuniting with the same one deepens a bond tracked in a separate Deepening collection. CHOOSE HOW TO SET WORK DOWN TONIGHT - Transitioning from work to evening (free) - Replaying a mistake at night - Worried about tomorrow's plans - A conversation that won't let go - Too exhausted to meditate Each situation changes what you set down, what you return to, and how the session ends - not just the label on a timer. WATCH MOSSU GROW FROM YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN Widgets show growth progress, today's quiet time, and how many days you've connected this week, so you can check in without opening the app. A GARDEN THAT BECOMES YOUR OWN QUIET PLACE Quiet time earns spores, which you exchange for garden scenery and decor. Spores and Training Marks can't be bought - they only come from time spent sitting quietly. WHAT GARDEN PASS ADDS - Situation-based protocols for mistakes, tomorrow's worries, relationships, and exhaustion - Separate weekday/weekend end times and office/remote switching - Instant start from the Lock Screen, plus medium and large widgets - Living Garden: more scenery, layouts, and seasonal looks The meditation timer, your first Mossu, and basic logs stay free forever, with or without Garden Pass. Mossu never treats meditation as something to master. If you returned to your breath even once today, that's already a good day.
