Despite how hectic our lives are, it's still important to take time out for mindfulness and relaxation. Oak - Meditation & Breathing helps you learn how to do that.

Integrate with Apple Health. Apple Health has a section for mindful minutes, such as meditation, and Oak can integrate with that.

Guided meditation exercises. Oak offers guided meditation exercises to help you learn to relax and be more mindful.

Calming your breathing. Part of meditation is deep, relaxed breathing, and Oak offers lessons to help you achieve that.

What is it about?

When you first begin using Oak for your meditation, you'll be in "guided" mode. The app signifies this with "Mindful" in the discipline field when you first begin the meditation exercises.

For those who...

want to learn meditation
wish to become more relaxed and mindful

Not for those who...

don't meditate
prefer totally unguided meditation all the time

Why we love it

One of the nicest things about Oak is its optional integration with Apple Health. You're given full control over whether or not you allow this integration; Oak doesn't even take you directly to the settings to link up your Apple Health data. Instead, the app tells you how to turn it on, and then leaves it to you to enable Apple Health integration. The benefit to this integration is tracking your meditation within Apple Health. Since Apple Health has a section for Mindful Minutes, Oak is an excellent way to meet your goals for being more calm, relaxed, and mindful. That's not all the app offers, though. Oak also allows you to go through breathing exercises, learning to take deep, calming breaths and then let them out. Finally, a Wisdom tab provides you with access to a number of videos on relaxing, meditation, and more.
