Waking Up

Meditation app

Waking Up strips friction out of meditation with small automations, e.g., an opt-in toggle that fires Do Not Disturb the moment a session starts. Our UX Bites show how.

One toggle switches on 'Do Not Disturb' automatically whenever a meditation starts
Users pre-commit once, instead of being nudged to silence their phone every session
Focus is the app's core promise, so touching a system setting reads as earned, not intrusive
