Outside: I built a meditation app whose only goal is to make you stop looking at it

Описание и применение

Приложение Outside позволяет практиковать медитацию на открытом воздухе без закрытия глаз, адаптируется к голосовым запросам и исключает экранную зависимость.

Задача

Guided meditation apps assume a dark bedroom and require users to close their eyes, making them unsuitable for outdoor use where eyes must remain open.

Результат

The Outside app enables outdoor meditation without requiring users to close their eyes, adapts in real time to spoken feedback, and removes screen‑based stickiness, resulting in a truly screen‑free experience.

Рабочий процесс

• Tap "Begin a meditation · 3 minutes" on the home screen.
• Listen to a gentle voice that instructs to stay outdoors and breathe naturally.
• If breathing is uncomfortable, speak "this is making me dizzy, can we skip the breathing."
• The app listens via microphone, sends audio to backend, and receives a structured reply from Gemma via Mastra.
• The reply sets practice to "body" and mode to "listen", disabling the breathing circle for the rest of the session.
• The session ends with a brief reflection screen that is not saved.
• Tap "Finish" to delete conversation memory and audio clips.

Доказательства

Every meditation app opens by telling you to close your eyes. Try that on a trail.

Conversation memory expires from the backend after ten minutes, and tapping Finish deletes it immediately along with every audio clip.
