Medito is a quiet space for your day — designed for people who want meditation to feel like a soft place, not another habit tracker. THREE MODES, ONE BREATH Choose Breathe to settle your nervous system, Meditate to sit with awareness, or Sleep to wind down. Each mode is guided by a living orb that gently expands and softens with your breath, paired with subtle haptics and a phase-locked breath cue you can feel as much as hear. HAND-PICKED AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES Layer in rain on a window, ocean at low tide, a forest at dawn, a flowing stream, a crackling fireplace, or crickets at dusk. All recordings loop seamlessly with a soft cross-fade. Explore the Sound Lab to preview and mix. MINDFUL PHONE — NEW Meditate your phone, not just your mind. Mindful Phone is the fourth orb on Home. • A calm home screen of words — launcher widgets with only the apps you choose, a clock and a plain wallpaper • A pause before the apps that pull you in, with a slow breath before you go on — and on iOS 26.4 or later, a moment to say why now and how long you need • Pause all day or on a schedule, go strict when it matters, or let your iPhone's Sleep or Work Focus switch it on • Describe your goal in words and get a plan, using on-device Apple Intelligence where available • Insights that compare today with a usual day: pickups, your hardest hours and the time your pauses won back Screen Time data is worked out on your iPhone and never leaves it.

TapBreath is a breathing pacer for anxious moments. Tap the circle: quick taps as you breathe in, slow taps as you let it out, and the app leads you into a steady rhythm of five seconds in and five seconds out. Tapping gives your hands something to do while your breath slows down. The circle grows and shrinks with each breath, a light vibration marks each tap, and a gentle cue tells you if you are rushing. WHAT IT DOES - One button. Tap when you are ready, tap along, tap "I am done" when you are. - Paced breathing: four, five, or six seconds in and out. - Vibration with each tap and each change of breath (you can turn it off). - A count of breaths and time, and a quick "how do you feel now" after each session. - Recent sessions kept on your phone. - English, Spanish, German, and Vietnamese. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No tracking. No data collection. Nothing you do here leaves your phone. WORKS ANYWHERE The whole app is on your phone, so it works with no signal at all. IMPORTANT TapBreath is not medical care and does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US, 24/7, free) or your local emergency number.
