Premium subscription required for app access. Apple's 1-week introductory free trial is available on eligible subscriptions.

Replace scrolling with mindful presence.

• Mood-based teaching selection — receive passages matched to your present state of mind
• Smart scheduling — set daily practice times or create custom lock periods
• Mala bead counter — track your meditation and chanting practice
• Family-friendly — uses Apple Screen Time to enforce locks reliably

4. Read, reflect, and unlock — choosing presence over distraction
