The app has over 40 different guided meditations for activities like commuting, working online and going to sleep, which range from five to 20 minutes sessions. For those who prefer unguided meditations, Buddhify provides a helpful timer for keeping track of time. The app provides tips for practicing mindfulness and helps to track a user’s progress over time, keeping tabs on stats like the total amount of time spent meditating during a week, or how many days in a row a user has been consistently practicing meditation. The app is aimed at improving one’s wellbeing and reducing stress over time and especially introducing first-timers to meditation without it seeming intimidating.
