Quick plug - made a free app with no ads or IAP -

https://itunes.apple.com/app/tiny-calm/id1039698577?mt=8

Has simple reminders, quick access widget, tracking and encouragement - basically all the features I wanted in a meditation app but I couldn't find for free on the appstore.

Could you elaborate a little on how you built the app? There have been lots of small apps like this that I could build quickly in my preferred environment, but I have no idea how to get started on iOS. Any resources you can recommend?
Sure - it's a fun project.

It was my first app and released it after 2 months of learning to code. Mostly learned from reading Apple's swift book, taking a $10 udemy course (there are a bunch out there) and lots of stackoverflow when I got stuck.

I blogged about the process from hello world here - http://tinyhappysteps.com/

Any plans for an Android version?
I've started learning Android so hopefully cant get something out in a couple months, maybe sooner if it's less painful
Tiny Calm looks great - thank you for creating and sharing!
Thanks! If you have any requests just shout out..
