Appointment
So you build a mindfulness app and the first thing it wants to do is make an alarm (appointment) in the morning. That's a big fail.. :s
We truly appreciate your input on this. We are constantly trying to find ways to support mindfulness while catering to varied preferences. Some people think the reminders are the best and most important part of the app, while others find them offensive and not mindful at all. We totally understand and endeavor to make the app as configurable as possible to meet the needs of all types of preferences, especially those that change over time with practice. Towards that end, we’ve designed the app to have people try out the reminders as designed, but also give them full control to tune them up/down/off to match their preferences. We have also designed the app to train new habits that eventually make the reminders and app unneeded. Where the person starts the day mindfully, before checking email for example or letting the worries of the past or future crash in. To pause throughout the day, with a few deep breaths, to respond mindfully to daily life. To checkin with themselves, their mind and body. Please continue to give feedback on how we can best design the app to be configured to your preferences. We’re a small team but see this as a life long mission to both fine tune and extend the app to best support the growing community of people practicing mindfulness in their daily lives :-)
