Still: Mindfulness & Breathing

Executive Summary

Still is a native Android app for calm, focus, and intention-setting. It brings together guided breathing patterns (including 4-7-8 and box breathing), affirmations you can read, listen to, and pin to your home screen, meditation sessions with background music, and a manifestation journal. An optional community lets people share and connect, and an AI service built on Gemini generates short, mood-aware guidance. Local data is kept in an encrypted database.
