MeditoMe: Meditation Breath

In most apps breathing is a second-class citizen: a few exercises tucked into the corner of a meditation app. In MeditoMe, breathing is the product itself.

WE PRINT THE EVIDENCE TOO

Every technique arrives with the strength of the evidence behind it. When solid research stands behind a technique, we say so. When the evidence is moderate, or the technique comes only from tradition, we say that just as plainly. You decide which one to pick; we put the grounds for the choice in front of you instead of making it for you.

The same honesty applies to cautions. Some techniques are not right for everyone: the ones that need care during pregnancy, with high blood pressure, or with a heart or respiratory condition appear together with their caution. We do not bury it in small print.

GUIDED BREATHING, WITH THE RHYTHM ON SCREEN

When a session starts, one thing is on the screen: the breathing orb. Inhale, hold, exhale. The orb grows and shrinks while the phase name and the countdown stay above it. Vibration and sound are optional; using it in silence is a complete way to use it.

Techniques are sorted by purpose: Calm, Sleep, Focus, Energy, Balance and Advanced. If you know what you are looking for, go straight to it. If you do not, the home screen suggests one technique for that day and writes down why.

YOUR OWN PATTERN

Beyond the ready-made techniques you can build your own breathing pattern and set the phase durations to fit you. Your pattern stays on your device.

JOURNAL AND INSIGHT

After a session you can mark how you feel in one tap. Over time that record becomes a plain summary of when and how much you practice. The chart is not there to shame you; it is there so you can see your own rhythm.

Your streak does not break on the day you miss one: you have a freeze. A habit is not built on punishment.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED

The app is fully functional with no account. Your sessions, journal and patterns stay on your phone. You can sign in later with Google or Apple to carry them to another device, or never open an account and miss nothing.

On a plane, on the metro, on a mountain: it works with no internet.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

No ads. No endlessly scrolling feed; the goal is not to keep you on the screen, it is for you to find the right session and finish it. The end of a session is an ending, not a queue sliding into the next piece of content. No forced sign-up, and we do not collect email addresses.

TURKISH AND ENGLISH

The app was thought out and written in Turkish, then translated into other languages. Technique names, descriptions, warnings and the whole interface are there in your language too.

MEDITOME PRO

The core techniques, the journal and insight are free and ad-free. Pro opens advanced techniques, multi-day programs, your own breathing patterns, and exporting your data to a single file. The subscription can be cancelled at any time through the store.
