Unique Cozy Meditation App to Ease Anxiety & Stress
I created a meditation app.
Unlike most meditation apps, this one is undeniably cute. We’ve fully visualized the concepts of meditation and mindfulness — during each session, you'll see calming visual elements that enhance your breathing and mindfulness practice.
The main purpose behind developing this app was to help ease my own anxiety, stress, and fear of illness through breathing and meditation.
I’ve also explored some novel meditation experiences:
In our setup, we’ve designed four characters, each specializing in a different meditation technique. The main character appears on the home screen and offers words of encouragement. We're also planning to integrate AI into future versions — Apple's latest on-device models are a great fit since they run locally and protect user privacy.
We’ve experimented with some creative forms of meditation. For example, our “Movement” meditation series is designed to bring visualized meditation to life. You’re guided to focus on the screen and interact with it through light touches, helping to spark new insights and ways of engaging with meditation.
