Meditation practices tend to be simple. So, it’s ironic many apps about these practices are anything but that. That’s why it’s refreshing to discover an app like Sit: an iOS meditation app that has beautiful minimalism at the core of its design.

As an app, sit has only three components: a visually elegant timer with Tibetan bowl sounds, a quick journal, and a log of activity.

Zack Shapiro, Developer of Sit, explains on the Product Hunt page:

“We wanted to build a tool that you could open and get started in one tap, every time. Simplicity came first and foremost. I wanted to write down thoughts that came to me and see some nice data about streaks, time of each session, etc.

In terms of things we didn’t include, Sit doesn’t ask for your name, email, location, phone number, or credit card number. It doesn’t send push notifications or emails, ever. It’s incredibly private and all about you. That’s really important to us.”

Sit is available in the iTunes App Store for free.
