Stillness Reset App: Engineering a Daily Mindful Sanctuary for Mobile.
How Penfold Media translated in-person somatic healing into an intuitive, high-retention mobile companion app across both iOS and Android.
Taking Transformational Healing Beyond Physical Retreats
While Stillness Reset Co's in-person retreats and sound baths delivered life-changing experiences, clients experienced a common friction point once returning to their busy daily lives: sustaining somatic mindfulness practices without the direct guidance of a practitioner.
Mobile Engineering Goals:
- •Craft an interface that promotes instant calming without overwhelming users with menus.
- •Ensure zero-latency audio playback for delicate Tibetan singing bowl and gong frequencies.
- •Provide offline caching so clients can meditate on flights or in remote natural environments without cellular reception.
60 FPS Fluidity, Offline Audio Caching & Biometric Security
Penfold Media engineered a high-performance cross-platform codebase compiling to native iOS and Android binaries. We developed a custom background audio service capable of high-fidelity 48kHz audio playback with zero stuttering during screen lock.
Seamless continuous playback when the phone is locked or other apps are opened, supporting lock-screen audio controls.
Instant, passwordless authentication letting clients drop straight into their sanctuary in under 1 second.
Designed for Daily Serenity & Habit Adherence
