What practitioners say.
Real feedback from our meditation community.
★★★★★"Finally, an app that doesn't try to teach me how to meditate. I've been practicing Vipassana for 15 years—I just needed a beautiful timer. Return is exactly that."
★★★★★"The ambient themes are perfect. I use the Water theme after workouts for recovery, and Silence for my morning sits. No subscriptions, no distractions."
★★★★★"I love that it syncs across all my Apple devices. Start a session on my Watch during lunch, continue on Mac at home. The iCloud sync is seamless."
