Oak - Meditation and breathing exercises for geeks

by
Zero
•

Oak is a community-driven guided meditation and breathing exercise app. Our meditations were built from data gathered in-app as beta testers completed their sessions (or ended them early). This led to hundreds of adjustments in pace, tone, and verbiage. We're geeks: Support for pre/post heart rate tracking (and variability) soon.

Any plan to include a feedback mechanism? I've tried a ton of apps, but so far the only one I've made progress with has been Muse (http://www.choosemuse.com/). It's pricey, but it works. Is that the intent with the integrations?

@lilredcorbett Yes, we hope to gather passive feedback via heart rate and other factors. Early days...we have a lot of experimenting to do

I've also been part of the beta testing group from the beginning and can't wait to try out the final version. Great job team.

I don't get it. It's 207 and companies still release apps only for one platform (usually IOS). people, learn react-native!
Andreas Kambanis

As with everything you put your time and energy to, @kevinrose you've built another sleek, well-rounded product that will help many people. It's been a treat to see you and the team navigate this idea from UI sketches to now a finished product. Also steller job on the instructional video, very well done. Looking forward to the future!

Hey @Kevin, super clean design and the inhale-hold-exhale exercise is a nice idea! So, are you really the maker/founder of this app or just invested?
Kevin Rose
Maker
@rosedust I'm really the maker/founder. This is a fun/free project :)

I've tried most of the meditation apps that are on the market, but have never been able to create a personal meditation practice. Oak is the first app that's made me excited to set aside meditation time. Seriously, love this app. Also, it's a lot of fun to watch that tree. :)

@cdavis565 Thanks for the kind words :) let us know if there is anything else we can do to improve it!
Kyle Richey
@cdavis565 @kevinrose I totally agree. Any chance there will be a Meditate duration of less than 10min added, or is that more what the Breathe feature is geared toward?
Kevin Rose
Maker
@cdavis565 @imakestrides Yes, breathing is mostly for quick <10 minute
