Placebo is not a meditation app. Sit somewhere comfortable. Open the app. Tap the pill. Do nothing. When you're done, you get a timelapse of you doing absolutely nothing as proof. Share it or don't. We're not your therapist. Free. No paywall to do nothing. SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE: Reduced screen time. Improved attention span. Unsettling sense of calm. Opinions formed independently. Ability to sit through a meal without checking your phone. Sudden awareness of birds. Involuntary deep breaths. Remembering what you walked into the room for. Uncomfortable silence that you actually enjoy. Friends asking if you're okay because you seem "different." Losing interest in arguments with strangers online. Noticing the sky. Sitting in a room without a phone and not dying. Realizing you have a face and it has expressions. Falling asleep before midnight. Waking up without immediately checking notifications. Holding a thought for longer than 8 seconds. Reading an entire paragraph without skipping to the end. Developing the ability to be bored on purpose. Placebo contains no active ingredients. You are the active ingredient.
