Description
Breathful tracks the effectiveness of your meditation with data. Watch the numbers change as you develop your ability to focus and quantify your improvement over time.
Rather than endorse a particular method for practicing mindfulness meditation, Breathful acknowledges that there is a common theme amongst all techniques: Focus on being mindful of your breathing - Breathful.
------------------------------------------------------------
Mindfulness 101
The object of mindfulness is witnessing one’s own present experience without any attachment or reactivity... In other words, any thoughts that arise during mindfulness practice are acknowledged, and then allowed to pass. Directing one's attention to breathing helps maintain a present state of mind.
------------------------------------------------------------
So what is Breathful and how is it different from other meditation timer apps?
Breathful is a useful tool that allows users to engage in ten-minute “sessions” of mindfulness practice.
Actively monitor each session by attaching a number of “distractions” - when the session ends, it will be archived in the session log by date and time, along with the number of distractions encountered during the session.
When you see the average number of distractions dropping, you'll know your method of mindfulness is an effective one.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING BREATHFUL:
- A new session is started by tapping on the timer circle, which will then start a ten minute countdown.
- If at any point the user taps on the screen while the timer is running, then a "distraction" will be recorded.
*Note: It is up to the user to decide what constitutes a "distraction" and you may not want to record minor distractions lasting only a split-second... what constitutes a minor vs. major distraction is up to you.
Improve your focus with mindfulness training and let Breathful quantify your progress! If you've had your doubts about meditation in the past, here's your chance to gather your own statistics and come to your own conclusion.

Ratings and Reviews
Save your money. Spend it on Buddhify instead.
This is not a good product. In-app purchases aren't reasonable, as you're paying for basic functions like adjusting the time interval. You could get a free Pomodoro time keeping app and it has more usefulness than this.
The distraction tapping function is a cool idea, but I wish you could use it with a lock screen since it's a bit of a drain on the battery to keep your phone on for long sessions.
Not impressed. I made a poor purchasing decision with this as I based my decision on Internet 'word of mouth'. I decided to take a chance despite no reviews, and I wish I could've saved myself a few dollars.
Until the developers come up with reasonable pricing strategy with a better, or smarter, functioning interface...I would suggest staying clear of this app.
