YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Breathe in... Good... Now please enable location access in settings, and be sure to -- exhale -- enable background data access... Feel better?
Seems there's still some work to do to remove tracking and Google notification services. When it's on F-Droid, maybe more folks will try it.
That was actually quite funny 😅
But >> The app only uses 4 permissions and has no trackers built in either. The permissions used are:
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STAT
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE
- INTERNET
- WAKE_LOCK

Im getting some old and out of touch energy. But man a meditation app sounds contradictory
I can't meditate without direction yet. I need the app ( I don't use this one, but I will when my free year runs out ) to keep me focused while I learn how to meditate. It seemed contradictory to me at first ,too, until I tried it for myself.
Guided meditation is by far the best way to start and is always relevant. At some point an app might not cut it much more, and a meditation teacher will always beat an app, but an app beats nothing, at least for begginers.
Guided meditation is very effective, and doing so on a dedicated app rather than on something like youtube can help you avoid distraction.
So is this just a community for ads now?
I have tried a few other apps as I struggle with even trying to meditate, and all of the popular ones are naggy 'please engage me' hell that tries to force a paid subscription. Haven't heard of this one, and it looks like it will be the actual thing it is supposed to be!
Thank you!
More on why the update is not on F-Droid yet here: https://github.com/meditohq/medito-app/issues/195#issuecomment-1790255585
Version 3.0 introduces a hard dependency on Google Play Services due to the app refusing to load any content if Firebase Cloud Messaging is unavailable. This regression (#581) will need to be addressed before Medito can be released on F-Droid
This is really cool, I was looking for an alternative to things like Calm
I think it should get reviewed and listed on Mozilla's PrivacyNotIncluded page for mental health apps. That's where I checked, and I imagine others do as well.
I'll try submitting it later unless someone else gets to it first :)
I thought I'd just grab the APK directly from Github, but would you look at that, the latest release is from June 2022, same as what's on F-Droid

I am, I'm already using it
Should've thought. 😅
It's great, isn't it? F-Droid can be pretty slow sometimes
I like the app, but I don't like the update. By adding graphics (that add no value) you have to do more scrolling to find what you are looking for. Still absolutely worth using though since their content is good.
Great!
For guided mindfulness meditation, I'm not sure you need an app, just a recording. I have used these free recordings for years: Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World
Thanks bruh
I’ll check it out, thanks!
For the WakingUp app you can get a free year if you just send them an email and ask. Same with the podcast.
Or you can try it free for 30 days by using this link that I as a paid member can share around. I don't benefit anything if you use that link. I can also share full lenght podcast episodes so if there's one you're curious about just hit me up and I'll send you a link.
I’m on iOS, when I open the app I just get a black screen and nothing happens. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
The only medication app you need is the built in timer.
