Track meditation sessions on iPhone. Log each sit, build toward 100 sessions, and handle life's disruptions without a streak resetting your progress. Free.
Meditation apps love streaks. The logic makes sense on the surface: daily practice builds the habit, and the streak keeps you returning. But the streak also creates something meditation is supposed to reduce: anxiety about breaking a number.
Miss one morning and the counter goes to zero. Come back the next day and you're starting over. The 45 sessions you've completed this year aren't visible anywhere. The app shows one day, restarted.
For people building a meditation practice as a count goal, the streak model creates the wrong pressure. "100 sessions this year" is a milestone. Some weeks you sit three times. Some weeks once. The total builds regardless.
A session counter shows 45 of 100. The missed morning cost you one session, not the whole record. Come back when you're ready.
Two sessions per week reaches 100 in about a year. Daily practice reaches 100 in about 3 months.
Meditation practice can be goal-based as well as habit-based. "100 sessions this year" is a milestone goal. Each session adds one. A difficult travel month with fewer sessions doesn't erase the ones already completed.
A missed day breaks the meditation streak, which is a known source of the opposite of what meditation is supposed to produce. The 45 sessions already completed represent genuine practice time. The streak counter doesn't show them.
Three sessions per week reaches 150 in a year. A vacation week with no sessions costs nothing from the accumulated total.
