MindFi is a smart meditation app built with productivity and your busy routine in mind. Train your attention with YOUR EYES OPEN at a convenient time and place. We built this for beginners to learn at a gentler pace - try it before a meal 🌯 scrolling a Facebook feed mindfully, resting at your office desk and even at the restroom! 🚽😉

Hi PH! I'm Bjorn, founder of MindFi. 👋 We built MindFi for busy humans to improve your focus and attention with a super-convenient meditation system, where you train with YOUR EYES OPEN. For productivity geeks (like me), we also baked in a handy Pomodoro timer so you can spend your 5-minute break wisely, with meditation! I started meditating 7 years ago due to stress-induced chest pains from my 1st startup. I joined a 10-day meditation retreat in India but could not maintain the ascetic discipline required . As a product maker, I saw meditation suffering from an onboarding UX problem. My goal is not to build a meditation app, but really to build an attention coach for our distracting times. A few pro tips for MindFi: - Try 1st session with your eyes open. Worried about looking weird? Wear earphones to look thoughtful :P - Scroll our timeline and find a time you can practise everyday. I personally like 4pm to take a short pit stop and recharge my mental batteries. - Click the rightmost button: "Deep Work" mode (inspired by Cal Newport). That's a 25-min Pomodoro timer with a 5-min meditation break. That's how I get shit done at the start of my day. - Follow our 7-day program. You will be challenged on Days 4 and 7. No spoilers here ;) 🙏 Thank you! MindFi is free for all Product Hunters today for 3 months. We are already hard at work on V2. Launching is a journey, not a destination for us. I will be here for next 18 hours till i hop on a plane so ask away! :D

@bjorn_lee yay! I'm so happy you've been hunted. I don't mind looking weird but I'm hoping I can fool my kids who often play in my background when I meditate now.

@michael_cho MindFi is for beginners or lapsed meditators and has a much gentler learning curve. We see meditation as ENHANCING stuff you already do (meals, commutes etc), not ADDING a new activity to a busy routine. The logistics of traditional aka formal meditation (time, place, posture, eyes) can be daunting for beginners hence we have focused on the informal branch of meditation which allows you to keep your eyes open. With open eyes, it opens up the other vectors of meditation practice! It is better to begin with simpler exercises before gradually escalating to more challenging exercises to deepen the practice. Its like starting out at a gym, we want folks to have fun with lighter weights before doing heavy-lifting with daunting barbells ;)

I have 15 years of experience in meditation, you need to have superb meditative skills to be able to relax with eyes open. The key is to calm your mind, and as long our eyes are focused on the visuals, it is almost impossible to achieve inner peace. As i said, only great masters can do this.

Pros:

Great design

Cons:

Concept is flawed, relaxing with your eyes open is ineffective

Try the full 7-day program. Not all sessions have eyes open. Meditation, or mindfulness, can't be taught in one day. :)We want to level the learning curve so beginners don't get deterred from the start.

@johnyqi The first time I remember meditating, it was accidentally and with eyes open and fixed on a point on a wall in a busy doctor's office. I'm not sure I agree with your assesment that I "need" to have skills or be a "great master" before I can do it. Maybe you can't, I guess.
