Apple Vision Pro’s Mindfulness app is impressive
Apple’s Mindfulness app on the Apple Vision Pro
The Mindfulness app includes Breathe and Reflect, which are intended for you to pause throughout the day to have a mindful moment. And with State of Mind, you can reflect on how you’re feeling, which can help you build emotional awareness and resilience and improve wellbeing.
Features:
State of Mind:
• Log your momentary emotions and your daily moods in an intuitive and engaging way.
• Turn the Digital Crown to see the shape adjust based on how you’re feeling.
• Choose what is contributing to your state of mind, such as hobbies, travel, and work.
• Describe your feelings, such as joyful, content, or worried.
• Turn on notifications and complications to help you get into the habit of logging your state of mind.
• Get valuable insights into your state of mind and how it has changed over time with interactive charts in the Health app on iPhone and iPad.
Reflect:
• Written prompts guide you toward a kind and thoughtful frame of mind.
• Soothing, energetic animation guides you to be more present and mindful.
• Choose to receive a reminder to start a session at the beginning or end of your day or at scheduled times.
• Customize the duration of the Reflect session from one minute up to five minutes.
• Track mindful minutes in the Health app on iPhone and iPad and the Fitness app on iPhone.
Breathe:
• Follow the animation as it expands with the inhale and contracts with each exhale.
• Feel haptics guide your breath at the chosen rate.
• Choose to receive a reminder to start a session at the beginning or end of your day, or at scheduled times.
• Customize the duration of the Breathe session from one minute up to five minutes.
• Set a breath rate ranging from 4 breaths per minute to 10 breaths per minute.
• Track mindful minutes in the Health app on iPhone and iPad and the Fitness app on iPhone.
Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Apple’s Vision Pro… One feature that’s impressed me and piqued my interest since my very first demo with Vision Pro in June of 2023 is mindfulness. And the Vision Pro does it wonderfully.
Picture this: I just filed my latest piece, responded to my incoming Slacks, and attempted to conquer my mountain of an inbox, and I’m ready for a little break. I simply say, “Siri, close my windows,” and I’m transported back to a pass-through view of my apartment. With a twist of the Digital Crown, I am transported to Joshua Tree instantly, complete with the sounds: the whistle of the wind, punctuated with the occasional song of a bird.
I then say, “Siri, open Mindfulness,” and an orb flower petal of sorts opens up in the center of the screen. From there, I can pick a length—5-, 10-, or 20-minutes— and an instructor (either Jessica Skye or Christian Howard of Fitness+). Then, you’re off to unwind and feel at ease.
MacDailyNews Take: If you don;t have a Vision Pro, if you use the Mindfulness app on your iPhone and/or Apple Watch, you get the idea.
