■ Customizable for beginners through advanced users Choose level, bell type, ambient sound, and duration. Includes the widely talked-about 4-7-8 breathing method (Intermediate α), or set your own rhythm with "Custom Level"—freely adjust inhale, hold, and exhale from 4 to 32 seconds each.

■ Immersive nature sounds and bells No background music—just bells and nature sounds, for meditation that feels like being outdoors.

■ Call blocking and screen-lock prevention Stay uninterrupted and fully present throughout your session.

■ Health app integration (iOS) and habit support Meditation time is logged automatically in Health. Reminders help you build a daily habit.

【A message from the developer】

We live in a stressful world, where it's increasingly common to witness events that affect not just our minds, but our lives.

No amount of money or status outweighs peace of mind—finding it doesn't cost a single cent. All it takes is relaxing and settling your breath.

Since we use our phones anyway, I wanted to create something that calms the mind, rather than wears it down through endless news and social media. That's the intention behind this app.

If even one person finds their way back to peace of mind through Meiso, there's no greater joy for me as a developer.
