Session indexing is on by default and can be turned off in Settings. BUILD YOUR OWN LOG Record duration, water temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and notes. Review session history, progress statistics, and streaks. The timer is free and unlimited. Pro unlocks saving sessions and manual entries. Previously saved history remains readable after a subscription ends. Session history is stored locally on your iPhone. No account, ads, or advertising tracking. Siri and Spotlight use Apple's system services. This app does not provide medical advice or personalized safety guidance.

Your first Sway is on us. SWAY FOR WHATEVER’S NEXT Use Sway to find more calm, focus or confidence before a presentation, important conversation, exam, challenge, training or competition—or to release tension and prepare for restful sleep. PERSONAL GUIDANCE. YOUR PACE. Each Sway draws on practices such as mindfulness, breathing, body scans, visualization, muscle relaxation, affirmations, self-compassion and sleep wind-down. Adjust the duration before every session to fit the time you have. Customize the background music and playback, set weekly goals and follow your progress. Your Sways are saved in a local library on your device, ready whenever you want to return to them. SHIFT YOUR STATE. Sway isn’t about meditating perfectly or building another routine.
