Mindfulness Coach vs Ruff Night

Mindfulness means noticing and paying attention to what is going on in the present moment, without passing judgment on it. Mindfulness has been shown to be effective for reducing stress, improving emotional balance, increasing self-awareness, helping with anxiety and depression, and coping more effectively with chronic pain. Mindfulness Coach 2.0 was developed to help Veterans, Service members, and others learn how to practice mindfulness. The app provides a gradual, self-guided training program designed to help you understand and adopt a simple mindfulness practice. Mindfulness Coach also offers a library of information about mindfulness (for example “What is Mindfulness?”, “How to Anchor Your Attention”), 12 audio-guided mindfulness exercises and a growing catalog of additional exercises available for free download, goal-setting and tracking, a mindfulness mastery assessment to help you track your progress over time, customizable reminders, and access to other support and crisis resources. Mindfulness Coach is free, doesn’t take or share any of your personal information, and doesn’t require add-on purchases. Mindfulness Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD.

Ruff Night shows you how your family and friends slept last night, in one glance. Everyone in your pack is a dog. When someone sleeps badly, their dog looks rough. When they sleep well, it perks up. That is the whole idea. No leaderboards, no streaks, nothing to keep up with. Your score comes from Apple Health, so if you wear an Apple Watch or an Oura ring it arriveson its own each morning while you sleep. No tracker is fine too: answer three questions about your night and you get a real score from those. Tap any dog to see the shape of their night, how long they slept, when they went to bed, and when they stirred. Send a Bork to say good morning. Earn treats just by showing up, and spend them on beds and new pets. Ruff Night is for the people you would text anyway. Your parents. Your partner. The friend who never sleeps.
