'Mood' is a mindfulness app for the modern soul, offering an approach to well-being that is easily accessible to any busy individual.

Unlike many meditation apps and mindfulness resources that are available, Mood was developed to be an on-the-go solution for finding peace in one's day-to-day life. The app condenses some of the most valuable [mindfulness activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/center-meditation-timer) into a 60-second practice, reminding one to [feel gratitude](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-happier) and connect with their breath to transform the experiences they have throughout the day. Appealing to the modern user, the app is described as "[Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchats-ai-video-lenses) meets Headspace," as there are unlockable badges to connect through its gamified experience.

Some of the benefits of using Mood—which was designed by a licensed therapist, an ultra-endurance athlete and meditation teacher and practitioner—include reduced stress, improved sleep, as well as better focus, clarity and productivity.
