Most meditation apps are audio libraries. You press play, follow a voice, and come back tomorrow to be guided again. We built SelfMeditate for people who want to sit with themselves. No guided meditations. No voices. Just a timer, interval bells, ambient sounds, a presence tracker, a private journal with voice notes and drawings, and insights into your own practice patterns. Everything stays on your device. No account. No ads. Own your practice.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Harun, co-founder of Unathi Studios. Mavis and I built SelfMeditate with a belief that a meditation app should support the practice, not become the practice itself.
Most apps put themselves at the centre through courses to complete, voices to follow, content to consume. The app becomes the practice. SelfMeditate is designed to support the practice. The guidance you need is already within you.
So we built a tool that gets out of the way. A timer, a bell, a journal, a presence tracker, and insights into your own patterns. Nothing more. No guides, no narrators, no courses. Just your practice, supported quietly.
We'd love to hear what you think.
What does the presence tracker measure, is it just streaks and time or something more subtle?

@karimbenkeroum Hey Karim, great question! It's more subtle than streaks.
After each session you rate your sense of presence on a 1 to 10 scale using a creative gesture. Not as a score or judgment, just a quiet signal. Over time, the app surfaces patterns from that; which time of day you feel most present, whether longer sessions deepen presence for you, how your practice evolves over weeks and months.
Entirely personal. No comparison with other users, no leaderboards, no gamification. Just your own practice reflecting itself back to you.

A little more context on why we built this:
Mavis and I have been sitting with contemplative teachings for years. Teachers who kept pointing to the same thing; the guidance you need is already within you. No method, no voice, no system can give you what's already here.
Every meditation app we tried felt like the opposite of that. You open it and immediately you're following a voice. We wanted a tool that simply holds space for meditating and then gets out of the way.
SelfMeditate is the result of that. If you meditate or have ever wanted to start without being narrated at, we'd love to hear what you think. Happy to answer any questions.
