What's New — Minimalist Meditation 2026.6.5 Two new guided meditations join the library — and starting a session is simpler than ever. • Loving Kindness — a gentle guided practice for extending warmth to yourself and to others. • Body Scan — move your attention slowly through the body, releasing tension as you go. • A refreshed start screen that remembers how you like to practice, saving your sound choice for each meditation. Plus a little quiet polish and a few fixes.

We tuned the ambient sound that plays behind your practice so it does a better job of staying out of the way. • Gentler, more harmonious tones — the ambient soundscape now settles into a calm, steady backdrop instead of shifting unpredictably mid-session. • A consistent feel each day — the sound holds a stable character across your sessions, so your practice feels grounded.

• Helpful first-time tips now point you to the practice swipe and focus reminders • Your preferred session duration is easier to discover • Cleaner, more consistent highlighting when selecting a meditation • Smoother, more accurate guided-session audio • Various stability and polish improvements

What's New in 2026.6.1 • New ambient soundscape — add a gentle background drone to your meditation • Bells now ring out fully with their natural decay • Bells vibrate when your phone is silenced, so you never miss a cue • The Health access reminder now respects your choice and stops repeating

Just a quality of life improvement. You can see if your device is muted during the meditation countdown timer.
