It can be hard to find the time to stop and breathe, let alone meditate. With the right app though, you can get regular reminders to check in with the present moment. That’s not what most people think a smartphone is for, but it might be one of the best uses.

Aware Mindfulness is designed to help you stay calm, reduce anxiety, and generally develop healthy, positive mental habits. It comes with a massive library of courses and sessions from the noted meditation teachers around the world, along with tools for specific daily needs. So you can practice breathing exercises with the Breathe tool, or boost focus with short Energizer sessions. Additionally, it links to other resources like ike blogs and videos for extra insight. There’s even an ambient sound generator for falling asleep.
