Dao with Ian Felton

Dao with Ian Felton is a contemplative app for people who sit.

It is not a gamified wellness platform. There are no streaks to protect, no
badges to earn, no notifications pushing you to practice. Just a timer, a place to reflect, listen to the podcast, and a growing library of classical Daoist texts and guided practices.

SIT ──────────────────────────────────────────

Open the app. Tap to begin. Sit.

When you're done, note what arose — a word, a sentence, a feeling. Tag the
quality of the session. Save it. That's the whole practice.

The home screen shows you the current solar term, the moon phase, and a
classical passage to orient the mind before you sit. Nothing more.

HISTORY ──────────────────────────────────────────

Every session is saved locally on your device or sign in to save to the cloud. Browse your practice history, read back through your notes, and see how your sitting has developed over time. Total sessions, total time, and current streak are tracked at a glance.

Add journal entries between sessions — longer reflections, questions that
came up, things worth remembering.

LIBRARY ──────────────────────────────────────────

A curated library of primary Daoist texts and guided practices, readable
in-app. Includes the Neiye (Inner Training) — one of the oldest known texts
on breathing and inner cultivation — alongside guided sitting practices
drawn from the classical tradition.

PODCAST ──────────────────────────────────────

Every episode of the Dao with Ian Felton podcast, available in-app with
full audio playback. Episodes explore the Daoist classics, their relevance
to practice today, and the philosophy of stillness, breath, and presence.

NO CLUTTER ─────────────────────────────────────────

No subscription. No ads. No social features. No tracking. The app does one
thing well: helps you sit, reflect, and return to the texts that have guided
practitioners for thousands of years.

Dao with Ian Felton is for anyone drawn to the Daoist tradition — whether
you are new to meditation or have been sitting for decades.
