Description
Maybe you've tried meditating before.
Maybe you downloaded an app, made a commitment, meditated every morning for a week, and thought you were finally becoming one of those people who meditates.
Then you missed a day. Then another. And pretty quickly meditation became yet another thing that you weren’t doing well enough.
Sorta Zen is a meditation app that doesn’t care how good you are at meditating.
There’s no progress to track. No streak to maintain. No goal to reach. You can’t fall behind because there’s nothing to keep up with.
You just sit down.

If you’d like a little company while you settle in, each meditation can start with a few minutes of me talking about the ridiculousness of being human. Sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful, occasionally neither.
Then I shut up and leave you alone. So we sit together for the first few minutes, and then you sit by yourself for the remainder.
You can also start with Touchscreen Meditation, which is just a little yellow dot you can poke at until you’re ready to stop poking at things.
Or skip all of that and go straight to silence.
That's the whole app.
There are no courses to complete. No libraries to browse. No badges, leaderboards, notifications, user accounts, mood tracking, sleep stories, ads, or little graphs implying you’re becoming a better person.
The timer, Touchscreen Meditation, background sounds, and interval bells are free. The first 10 daily meditations are free too. After that, it's an optional $5/month subscription that renews until canceled. Or you can just email me and I'll make sure you get it for free.
Meditate every day. Meditate once a month. Forget about meditation for six months and come back.
The app won’t even notice.
You don’t have to become someone who meditates. You can just meditate.
Enlightenment not guaranteed.
