The Now is a helpful companion on your mindfulness journey, completely rebuilt for iOS 26. You can have it periodically interrupt and recenter you with insightful quotes and observations, or you can just use it sporadically when you need some inspiration. When a quote peaks your interest the app will give you deeper insights into its meaning as well as allow you to chat directly with the source material. It can answer your questions, provide guidance, as well as recommend books if you wish to explore a topic further. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
FEATURES:
* 3,000+ mindfulness quotes

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thank you so much for creating this app. It’s been essential in my life :)A small bug that I have encountered: sometimes when I click on the quote to open it in your app, the quote will disappear and I won’t be able to find it.There have been some beautiful quotes I have forgotten because of this.The action is as follows: Lockscreen > Click “The Now” notification > Unlock iPhone > “The Now” opens > different quote is displayedHope this helps! :)
Lack of Diversity
What2Wear
In the past, I would have given a 5 star review. I used to love changing the background images to customize them. There was a fantastic range of nature-related or inanimate object backgrounds to select from. I just tried to change the image and found that the majority of them were of people. And those people, even those with faded images, were all White. Whether it was intentional or not is unimportant. What is important is the lack of diversity and that other races, ethnicities, or nationalities are not represented. Overall, I love the app, but there either needs to be less people or to include people that represent the various hues of the human race.

I think the app needs to be updated

I love all the quotes I receive and share them to Facebook and everyone loves them as well. I am not sure why I am not able to get the quotes with a photo now. I know that the app needs to be updated soon!!
This is a complete rewrite of the app with over 3,000+ mindfulness quotes, iOS 26 styling, widgets, quote insights and discussions via Apple Foundation Models, and a few bug fixes.
