Gentle: Meditation & Sleep

Not every quiet moment starts the same way. Sometimes three conscious breaths are enough. Sometimes a body exercise, a tapping session, or a course that guides you over several days feels more appropriate.

Gentle is an app for meditation, relaxation, and practical everyday self-regulation. Before each session, you know what to expect: whether you’ll meditate, breathe, move your body, tense and release muscles, or try something in your daily routine.

WHAT FITS YOU RIGHT NOW

A short check-in asks what’s on your mind and how much time you have. Based on that, Gentle suggests a suitable short session, course lesson, or tapping exercise. You can also choose freely at any time.

COURSES WITH A CLEAR PATH

Guided courses consist of several sessions that intentionally build on one another. Introductions refer back to previous content, exercises develop over time, and each ending gives you a clear idea of what comes next.

SHORT SESSIONS FOR IN BETWEEN

Individual meditations, breathing exercises, body practices, everyday exercises, and reflection sessions work without preparation. This also includes a short progressive muscle relaxation session.

GUIDED TAPPING

The tapping exercises guide you step by step through naming what’s present, tapping, and noticing how you feel afterwards. Illustrations show you the tapping points at the right time. If you like, your iPhone can provide the rhythm through gentle vibrations.

SLEEP SOUNDS

Rain, nighttime ambience, warm soundscapes, and singing bowls can play for 10, 30, or 60 minutes. You can adjust the sound to feel warmer or clearer. Playback continues with the screen locked and can be controlled from the Lock Screen.

NO PRESSURE

The basics are optional. There is no daily requirement and no streak you have to maintain. If you miss a day, you simply miss a day. Your history only shows what you actually completed.

PRIVATE AND AD-FREE

No account is required. Your name, progress, and text from tapping exercises stay on your device. Gentle contains no ads.

Some content is available for free. Gentle Plus unlocks the full library. The subscription is managed through your Apple ID and can be cancelled at any time in Apple Settings.

Gentle is designed for relaxation and self-reflection. It is not a substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic assessment or treatment.
