Shoshin Meditation

A meditation app whose goal is to need it less. Your iPhone senses your breath, your Watch hears your heart, and the guide steps back, sit by sit.

Shoshin (初心, "beginner's mind") teaches you to meditate in silence — and then gets out of the way.

Most meditation apps want you back every day. Shoshin wants you to need it less. Every path grows quieter than the last, until you reach the Empty Room: just you, sitting.

HONEST SIGNALS Lay your iPhone on your chest and it feels the slow rise and fall of your breath. Wear an Apple Watch and it listens to your heart while you sit. After each sit you get one true sentence about how you settled — never a score, never a streak, and nothing at all when the signal isn't good enough to say.

THE GUIDE FADES Ren and Mei guide your first sits closely — breath by breath — then say less each time you return. Four paths, eight guided sits, one summit: Radical Silence.

• The Threshold — where practice begins (free, forever) • Somatic Reset — breath-paced rest and non-sleep deep rest • Attention Anchor — single-point focus, open awareness • Digital Armor — urge surfing, defusion • The Deep Edge — self-inquiry, resilience

YOURS ALONE No account. No cloud. No analytics. No notifications begging you back. Your sits, your vow, and every sensor reading stay on your iPhone, protected with full file encryption. Delete the app and everything is gone.

ONE PURCHASE The first path, the Empty Room, and every report are free. The whole path is a single one-time purchase — not a subscription — and we will never lock you out of what you've paid for.

Apple Watch is optional. Without it you still sit, breathe, and get your report from the iPhone's own sensing; without any sensing at all, you can always simply sit.

Shoshin is a practice companion, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or monitor any health condition.
