Mindful App

Created a meditation app that combines guided sessions with habit tracking to build lasting mindfulness practices.

Mindful App

Mindful started as a personal project when I was struggling with my own meditation practice.

The Problem

Most meditation apps focus on guided sessions, but the real challenge is building the habit. People download apps, try them for a week, and forget about them.

Our Approach

We designed around habit formation:

  • Tiny commitments: Start with just 1 minute
  • Social accountability: Meditate with friends
  • Streak mechanics: Don't break the chain
  • Personalized paths: Adapts to your schedule

    • Design Philosophy

    Calm, not cluttered. Every screen has one primary action. We removed everything that didn't serve the core experience.

    Results

    • 100K+ downloads
    • 4.8 star rating
    • 60% month-1 retention (2x industry average)

    Reflection

    This project taught me that the best features are often the ones you don't build. Saying no is just as important as saying yes.
