A brand-new Buddha Daily: • A guided path: 21 five-minute steps through the foundations of Buddhism • A calmer Today: one teaching and one next step, nothing more • A practice tree that grows as you practice • Ask a teaching: write one line in the evening and receive a passage to sleep on • Full-moon and holy days, each with its own art and gentle reminders • Choose your tradition: Theravāda, Zen, Tibetan, or just curious • A fresh look: painted scenes, a new icon, and redesigned widgets • Simpler Settings, with sound previews and a full journal export • Teaching cards to share, now in story size too

• A clearer lifetime offer, with one purchase button • A free welcome practice when you first arrive • Today centers on the daily teaching and one practice

• A pocket retreat appears once, with a choice of 30 or 60 minutes • Steadier device narration, with a pause between the teaching and the reflection • Small audio fixes during practice

Today leads with six two-minute practices for difficult moments: overthinking, anger, comparison, letting go, overwhelm, and self-kindness. Each offers a small next step and a credited passage at the end. A new 14-day "Respond with more patience" path covers pausing before reacting, listening, boundaries, self-kindness, and a cue you can carry forward. Progress advances when you finish a session, not on a calendar timer. Missed days do not reset your place. Optional helpfulness feedback adds a return shortcut on Today. Guided practices include a session audio toggle, text guidance, pause and resume, and your existing ambience settings. Your first week of full access, the included free teachings, and lifetime pricing are unchanged.

Today, Practice, Explore, and My Path give the app a quieter home. Arrival is three short steps: a settling breath, an intention, and a first practice. Original 2D sanctuary art follows the time of day. Daily rituals of 2, 5, and 15 minutes sit alongside a walking companion, pocket retreats, everyday-life practices, and a curated offline study companion. Device narration, synthesized rain and breeze, stillness mode, and independent audio volumes are in Settings. You can export a personal practice book as a PDF. Your first week of full practice, the seven included teachings, and lifetime pricing are unchanged.

The first week of full practice is easier to see, and lifetime access is offered when it actually matters — when that week ends, after a sit or reflection near the end of the trial, and when you open a teaching beyond the seven included days. Your first week of teachings and your reflections stay yours. Learn now shows a glimpse of the rest of the year.

More reliable lifetime purchases and restore. Still a one-time unlock — no subscription.
