The Stillpoint Difference: Why Free and Private Matters

You've probably tried other mindfulness apps. You download them, enjoy a few introductory sessions, and then... you hit the paywall. To unlock the sleep stories, the focus music, or the advanced meditations, you need to subscribe for $14.99 a month or $69.99 a year.

This "freemium" model is the standard in the app world, but we believe it creates a barrier to well-being. At Stillpoint, we've chosen a different, more radical path.

The Problem with the Subscription Model

It Creates Inequality: The people who might benefit most from mindfulness tools are often those under financial stress. A subscription, no matter how small, can be a significant barrier. We believe mental health tools should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their income.
It Interrupts the Practice: Nothing breaks a moment of calm faster than a pop-up asking you to "Upgrade Now!" or an ad for a product you don't need. A mindfulness app should be a sanctuary from commercialism, not another source of it.
It Requires Your Data: To manage subscriptions and accounts, apps need your personal information—your email, your name, your payment details. This immediately creates a data trail. At Stillpoint, we don't know who you are, and we think that's a beautiful thing.

The Stillpoint Philosophy: Free, Private, Powerful

Our approach is simple:

100% Free, Forever: Every meditation, every sound, every feature is free. There are no premium tiers or locked content. We are supported by optional, one-time donations from users who appreciate our mission—never by subscriptions.
No Sign-Up, Ever: We will never ask you to create an account. When you open Stillpoint, you can start using it immediately. This is fundamental to our privacy promise.
Your Data is Yours: Features like the Journal save data directly and only to your own device's browser storage. We have no way to access it, read it, or analyze it. We don't even know if you're using the feature.

How Do We Do It?

We've built Stillpoint to be incredibly efficient. By avoiding the technical overhead of user accounts, payment processing, and data storage, we can keep our operating costs extremely low. This allows us to offer a premium-quality experience without the premium price tag.

Stillpoint isn't just a free app; it's a statement. It's our belief that everyone deserves a quiet place to find their center, without having to worry about their privacy or their budget. We invite you to experience the difference.
