Meiso is a completely free meditation app designed for beginners who want to build a lasting habit—without complicated settings. Just follow the on-screen guide, and your breathing naturally falls into rhythm. Start a quiet session in as little as 5 minutes. Based on feedback like "I gave up, it was too complicated" and "I just want to focus quietly on my breath," we kept only what truly matters. No confusing settings—open the app, and anyone can start meditating right away. Open Meiso whenever your mind feels unsettled: when you're feeling down, anxious, before sleep, or before work or study. Just breathe along with the guide, and calm follows naturally. 【Who is this for?】 ・Tried other meditation apps, but none of them stuck ・Find apps with too many features hard to use ・Want to focus on your breath with nature sounds, not music ・Want just 5 minutes to reset yourself ・Want a calming routine before bed or in the morning 【Why beginners stick with Meiso】 ■ Simple, intuitive design Choose a level (breath length), bell sound, nature sound, and duration, then press play.

Deliberately holding your breath helps settle an irregular rhythm, and is said to support autonomic nervous balance and focus. ■ Customizable for beginners through advanced users Choose level, bell type, ambient sound, and duration. Includes the widely talked-about 4-7-8 breathing method (Intermediate α), or set your own rhythm with "Custom Level"—freely adjust inhale, hold, and exhale from 4 to 32 seconds each. ■ Immersive nature sounds and bells No background music—just bells and nature sounds, for meditation that feels like being outdoors. ■ Call blocking and screen-lock prevention Stay uninterrupted and fully present throughout your session. ■ Health app integration (iOS) and habit support Meditation time is logged automatically in Health. Reminders help you build a daily habit. 【FAQ】 ■ Can beginners use this app? Yes. The visual breathing guide makes it easy to start with no prior experience. ■ Is it free? All features are free. In-app purchases (ad removal, optional tips) are entirely optional. ■ How long can sessions be? From 5 minutes up to 999 minutes (about 17 hours). ■ Which level should I choose? Start with "Introductory," then increase difficulty as you get comfortable. ■ Can I do the popular 4-7-8 method, or set my own rhythm? Yes to both. 4-7-8 is "Intermediate α." For any rhythm, use "Custom Level" (inhale/hold/exhale, 4–32 sec each). ■ Does it sync with Apple Health? Yes, automatically. 【A message from the developer】 We live in a stressful world, where it's increasingly common to witness events that affect not just our minds, but our lives. No amount of money or status outweighs peace of mind—finding it doesn't cost a single cent. All it takes is relaxing and settling your breath. Since we use our phones anyway, I wanted to create something that calms the mind, rather than wears it down through endless news and social media. That's the intention behind this app. If even one person finds their way back to peace of mind through Meiso, there's no greater joy for me as a developer.
