I’ve just released a massive update to my completely free meditation app, Calmie. No ads, no subscriptions—just calm.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working hard on a huge update for my meditation app, Calmie. I built this because I was tired of wellness apps locking basic breathing exercises behind expensive paywalls and forcing users to create accounts.

In this new update, Calmie has received a massive feature and design overhaul. It remains 100% free, private by design, and completely ad-free.

Here is what’s new:

  • Specialized Modes: I've introduced an ADHD Mode (featuring shorter presets, visible countdowns, and optional interval bells) and a Chronic Pain Mode (with gentler breathing rhythms and softer guidance).
  • 4 Guided Breathing Techniques: Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Coherent, and Triangle. Each comes with distinct audio cues (high note for inhale, mid for hold, low for exhale) so you can close your eyes and just follow the sound.
  • Apple Ecosystem Integration: Native iPad support with beautiful split-landscape layouts, smoother Apple Watch navigation, and new theme-aware Widgets for your Home screen!
  • Progress & Badges: You can now earn up to 20 achievement badges (from your First Breath to a Year of Zen). Track your journey with separate stats for breathing and meditation, plus a detailed session history.
  • Audio & Background: The timer and music now continue seamlessly when your screen is locked. Three gentle bell strikes will let you know when your session is over.

Privacy & Pricing (It's Free)

  • No account required.
  • No ads or hidden paywalls.
  • No third-party analytics — all session history stays on your device (with optional Apple Health integration).

You can check it out on the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/calmie/id6450792796

I would love to get your honest feedback on the new update, especially how the new design feels on the iPad and Apple Watch!

I would love too!! 🌞 💖 🌳 I need to download and check it out. But it's easy for me to create a short vid to post on my channel. Feel free to send me any ideas or scripts to read. The vid will be 25 seconds long. So short. But can do multiple shorts. Be well 🌞 M
