A clay figure standing on a city street with a phone, a to-do list, chat bubble, calendar and laptop crowding above their head all at once

I just want my head
to be a little quieter

To-dos, replies, yesterday’s conversation — all at once.
Your mind never rests.

Any time of day, 3 minutes.
Start right where you are.

You start thinking about one thing,
and somehow you’re on to another.

You go over a meeting, then wonder what to have for dinner,
remember a reply you owe,
and replay something you said yesterday.

Your body is right here,
but your mind is somewhere else all day.

So: 3 minutes a day.

In meditation, you repeat the moment of noticing you’re lost in thought and coming back.

In moments like these

  • When other tasks keep running in your head while you work
  • When you’re with someone but your mind is elsewhere
  • When you’re resting but your head isn’t
  • When the harder you try to stop thinking, the more you think

Sometimes, the more you think,
the less you can get done at all.

To-dos, worries, things that are already over —
in your head, they all feel like they need solving right now.

And then
even choosing where to start becomes hard.

Don’t try to solve every thought in your head.
First, notice that you’re caught up in thinking.

Step a little back from your thoughts,
and only then can you pick the one thing to do now.

For your head to get quieter,
you first have to notice you’re caught in a thought.

You can’t keep thoughts from coming.
But while you’re following one, you can suddenly notice it.

“Oh — I was lost in thought again.”

But while you’re lost in thought,
it’s hard to notice that you are.

So True Meditation lets the app tell you when that moment comes.

How it works in the app

In True Meditation, you count silently as you breathe and double-tap the screen once per breath.
When your mind wanders and your tap comes late, the app lets you know with a small vibration.

  1. Each double-tap moves the count up by one. The circle is only a guide to the rhythm — breathe at your own pace and it follows you.
  2. When your mind wanders and your tap comes late, the screen edges glow orange and the phone vibrates.
  3. Once you notice, double-tap again and carry on from the number you were on.

You can do it with your eyes closed. Tap at your own breathing pace — if a tap comes later than usual, the app takes it as a wandering mind and lets you know with a vibration.

Breathing→Thought→Vibration→Noticing→Back to breathing↺ Repeat

When to use itAny time of day, 3 minutes — between tasks, before plans, on a break.
A busy mind is fine. If you lose count, pick up from the last number on the screen.

Just 3 minutes, today.

The same clay figure walking calmly down the same street, phone in hand, looking ahead; the thought pieces have drifted small behind them

Out of your thoughts,
back to your life.

The to-dos and the worries are still there,
but you don’t carry them around all day.

At work, back to the task. With someone, back to them.
At rest, back to the moment you’re resting in.

Out of the thoughts in your head,
back to your life.

Starting with 3 minutes a day.

Just 3 minutes, today.

to help with the hardest part: “noticing.”

Frequently asked questions

I think too much — can I still meditate?
Yes. Having lots of thoughts is no problem at all.
When you drift, the app lets you know with a small vibration — notice it and come back to the count.
Do I have to empty my mind?
No. You don’t need to empty your mind or sit for long.
When another thought comes up while you breathe, notice it and come back to the breath. That’s all.
I've never meditated before. Can I start with this?
Yes. There is nothing to learn beforehand and nothing to buy. The first time, a short voice guide shows you how to use the app—and the way you use it is the way you do mindfulness meditation. Turn the voice guide off once it feels familiar.
How much is free?
You can meditate the moment you install it, no sign-up needed. As a guest you get one Normal and one Emergency session a day, up to twenty breaths each.
And when you're learning, twenty breaths is plenty — about three to five minutes.

When you sign up, your first 7 days are the same as Premium: no limits on sessions or breaths, plus Sleep meditation and Challenge mode. No card needed, and you won't be charged automatically when the 7 days end.
After that you can keep using it for free: one Normal and one Emergency session a day, up to twenty breaths each, and Sleep meditation once a day for the first 30 days after sign-up. Your sessions are still saved and you can still share them. (Free accounts go up to Level 5; Challenge mode needs a subscription.)

Try it about ten times and you'll know whether it fits you.
When you want longer sessions, or more than one a day, you can subscribe. There are monthly and yearly plans.
Who made this app?
I started meditating because my thoughts never stopped.
When I did it myself, the hardest part was the noticing.
So I built the app to help with that part.
True Meditation is an app I built because I needed it.
