Hi there! This is an early demo of our new meditation player.
Click on any meditation to try it out.
We have built so many new features in our player!
- see the total duration with a progress bar as you listen
- background music: click the music note icon to browse options
- adjust pause length in real time with the spaciousness slider
The meditation writer sets the pauses in the script, but with this slider, you can further adjust their duration while listening (slow them down when you need more time, or tighten them up if you prefer it faster).
We've curated 6 background loops for different meditation styles. Here are some examples.
Perhaps the single biggest new feature: you can now chat with a friendly assistant to write and rewrite your meditations.
We paid particular attention to teaching the chat assistant how to respect your desired duration.

Hi there! I'd like to use this chat to demo the app. Can you rewrite the Simple Presence meditation to be 45mn long?
Of course! I'll expand "Simple Presence: Resting in the Now" into a 45-minute practice.
To do this effectively, I'll lengthen the periods of silence and deepen the guidance in each section, allowing for a much more immersive experience. We’ll spend more time anchoring with the breath and gradually expanding into open awareness, with significant space at the end for resting in stillness.
Shall I go ahead and create this 45-minute version for you?
Yes please
Simple Presence: Resting in the Now (Deep Immersion)
Arriving in the Moment ✨
The Anchor of Breath 🌬️
Expanding Awareness 🌿
Resting in Stillness ✨
Returning and Integrating 🍃
The 45-minute deep immersion version is ready for you. I've significantly expanded the pauses and added more spacious guidance to help you settle into that deeper stillness.
You'll find the new card right above. Tap it whenever you're ready for a longer journey into the now.
Is there anything else I can do for your demo?
Wonderful! Now, let's demo your capacity to adapt a meditation style. Can you rewrite it to be shorter (only 5mn) and using more poetic and evocative language?
A Breath of Presence
The Soft Arrival ✨
The Breath as a Compass 🌬️
The Sky of Awareness 🌿
Resting in the Depths ✨
I've crafted a shorter, more poetic version for you called "A Breath of Presence." It condenses the original essence into a 5-minute practice using more evocative imagery, like the sky and the sinking pebble, to guide you quickly into a state of calm.
The card is available above for you to explore. How does this version feel for the demo?

We can't wait to let you use the app, but we still have some work left to do. In the meantime, we'd like to invite you to sign up for our brand new newsletter and you'll be the first to know when the doors are open.
