[H1] Meditation Done Differently
[H2] All about meditation on-the-go
While other meditation apps need you to find ten or twenty minutes of quiet time per day, we know that even that can be a struggle to fit into an already busy day. That is why buddhify focusses on mobile or on-the-go meditation, which you can do wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. We do still have more traditional formal meditations, but they are there for when you have time.
[H2] No expensive monthly subscriptions
We believe that the purpose of a good meditation app is to help you get to the point where you don’t need a meditation app. That goal of helping you become a creative, independent meditator is why buddhify has an upfront cost rather than the more common monthly subscription model. Subscriptions are great for investors, but not always for users who don’t want to feel dependent or trapped. We also prefer a low one-off fee since we believe that a good mindfulness and meditation app shouldn’t be something that only rich people can afford. We do have our Membership offer which does cost an additional annual fee, but it is entirely optional.
[H2] Made by a family business
Buddhify started when creator Rohan Gunatillake decided to combine his deep experience in mindfulness meditation with years working in technology and innovation. And thanks to the success of the app, led mainly by word-of-mouth, Rohan stopped doing his previous consultancy work and now, together with his wife Lucy (who is the lead female voice on buddhify), works on buddhify and related products full-time through their company called Mindfulness Everywhere. This does make us an outlier given that our main ‘competitors’ are all conventional US-based investor-backed startups.
[H2] Led by our values
Because the company is entirely self-funded, it means we can focus on the people that use our app rather than serving the needs of investors. Our values are important to us and staying independent means that our work can be the expression of values such as generosity, respect for the user, creativity, and authenticity. We think it’s these values that make buddhify feel as special as it does.
[H2] Diverse teacher talent
Diversity is something that is very important to us. Not only does having a diverse team make a better product, it also means that people who use our app will have a better chance of seeing themselves represented. That really matters. Perhaps today more than ever.  That is why our core team is gender balanced and perhaps most importantly our roster of 14 teachers/voices is 60% female and 35% people of colour. We still have blindspots of course, but as we grow we hope to continue to do so in such a way that the diversity of our people match the diversity of our community. Because ultimately they are the same thing. So do tell us how we can do better.
[H2] A unique voice in mindfulness
In a context like mindfulness where all ‘experts’ tend to say the same often bland things, buddhify creator Rohan Gunatillake is different. Having gained his initial reputation for his emphasis on mindfulness on-the-go, he is now increasingly known as a progressive yet authentic voice on all things meditation from its relationship to technology all the way to how mindfulness apps and the wider meditation industry could and should do better.

[H1] Our Story
[H2] A love of meditation
Buddhify creator Rohan Gunatillake first started meditating while at university and soon afterwards began work for a large technology company in London. As his interest in meditation grew and grew, he realised that what he was being taught felt very separate from the fast-paced, digital, urban life he was living (and indeed loving). So alongside all the hours of formal meditation, study and long retreats, he went on a mission to work out how better to integrate traditional mindfulness with the realities of his day to day life.
[H2] The power of on-the-go meditation
That’s when he discovered the power of on-the-go or mobile meditation. Inspired by the idea that every moment can be an opportunity for mindfulness and that the city is just as good a place for meditation than a forest retreat, he started remixing and adapting classical techniques so that they better fitted into what his days actually looked like. Suddenly everyday situations became meditation space as Rohan worked out how to develop focus on the London Underground, kindness on packed city streets and self-awareness when working at his laptop.
[H2] Technology and meditation united
A few years later and as mindfulness was on the rise, Rohan would often be asked by his friends to recommend them an app. Seeing that there wasn’t anything available on the app store that mindfulness in a way that was beautiful, accessible and effective, he decided to make it and buddhify was born. And because of his love for on-the-go meditation, right from the beginning buddhify was all about meditation for wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.
[H2] An independent family business
What started as a side gig, has now grown into a small, family-run business. Fully self-funded and independent, buddhify has been used and loved by hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. It has won awards, topped the app charts in dozens of countries, and most importantly touched the lives of a wide range of people all across the world. The app has enabled over 70 million minutes of meditation and counting… which is quite a lot for something which began as a passion project.
[H2] The future of mindfulness​
From the very beginning, buddhify has shown that meditation apps can be different. Mindfulness has never been as popular as it is today and the first generation of meditation apps have done a wonderful job of sharing these practices with more people than ever before. But just as when Rohan made his first ever app, he and the team believe that so much more is possible. And that is why we’ve made new buddhify. Our ambition for it is to be the best meditation app ever made. And our hope is that it heralds the next generation of mindfulness which evolves the understanding of these wonderful practices even further. No biggie.

[H1] About the App
[H2] Guided meditations for wherever you are
The central idea in buddhify is that you don’t have to find time for meditation, instead it comes to you. That is why all our meditations are categorised by what you’re doing or how you’re feeling. So you’ll find guided meditations for Walking, Stress & Difficult Emotion, Work Break, Going to Sleep, Waking Up and many other different categories. Written and voiced by our range of hand-picked teachers, the sessions last from 4 minutes all the way through to 30 minutes.
[H2] Customise your experience
Buddhify never tells you what to do – we believe in empowering people not lecturing them. So it is up to you when you meditate and which meditations you want to do. And given that we have many more meditations that can fit onto our wheel, through our so-called Edit Mode you can create the wheel with whichever categories you want. And if you’re not sure where to start with Edit Mode you can try one of the wheel curated by the team such as Tough Times or Mindful Ninja.
[H2] Learn and deepen​
While guided meditations are great, there is more to deepening your understanding and practice of mindfulness than just listening to them alone. That is why buddhify included features such as Foundations and a beautiful Solo Timer. In Foundations you can learn some important principles of what meditation is and how it works. And the Solo Timer will support you to meditate without any guidance.
[H2] Share mindfulness with others
Mindfulness and meditation has always been something that becomes even better when it is shared. That is why buddhify has some elements which are genuinely social and about other people. The first is that there are meditations which only work if you are with other people: With a Friend, With your Partner, and With Colleagues. These are lovely social practices and are really quite special. Then there is Give. Give allows you to send a targetted buddhify meditation to someone in your life who could really do with it. And they won’t need the app to play it because Give isn’t about marketing, it’s about generosity and care.
[H2] For the young people in your life
We heard from our users that many of the parents among them liked listening to buddhify meditations together with their children. So instead of just making a couple of categories for children, we made a whole wheel! Buddhify kids has sixty meditations lovingly made by some of the very best teachers working in mindfulness for young people today. And just like the main wheel there are different categories such as Going to Sleep, Calming Down, Feeling Better and Growing Wisdom.
[H2] Many more wonderful features
As if that wasn’t enough, there is much more that buddhify can help you do and so we really encourage you to explore the app over time. There are statistics and achievements. There are settings to make the app feel even more like yours. Through your buddhify account you can replicate your customised version of buddhify across devices. And many more features coming soon.
