Mindful Things

Travel more calmly.
Stay close, without the fuss.

We make thoughtful iPhone apps that take a little worry out of getting there, of wondering whether someone you love has arrived, and of being out with no signal.

All three apps are coming soon to iPhone.

Software should adapt to people.
Not the other way around.

We would rather remove a decision than add a feature. Fewer taps, fewer surprises, and nothing shouting for your attention. If a detail cannot earn its place in an ordinary day, it does not go in.

That is all Mindful Things is for: a little less stress, on the road, out walking, and at home.

Our apps

Three apps, coming soon.

Coming soon · iPhone

Mindful Navigation

Enjoy the journey.

Most navigation apps try to shave off another minute. This one starts from a different idea: a calmer drive.

The default Mindful profile prefers quieter, non-motorway roads. You can also choose to avoid dual carriageways, or motorways, or both. Routes are planned on your iPhone, using its own OpenStreetMap-based road graph, so you do not need a signal to work out a journey. It covers England for now.

It shows traffic, incidents and when you should arrive. You can add a stop, or a “route via here”, by long-pressing the map, or by typing a postcode or address. Explore finds places along or near your route. Journey Ahead can quietly tip you off about things ahead, such as fuel, if you ask it to.

Coming soon · iPhone and Apple Watch

Together

Close, without checking in.

Together is for every time you have said, “Let me know when you get there.”

Share your place with a private circle of up to ten people, on a live map that shows whether someone is walking, driving or on a train. Get gentle alerts when they arrive or leave a place that matters, and when they reach a railway station, airport or hotel.

Sharing is off until you choose to turn it on. You can pause or turn it off for each person, and the status is honest: Paused, or Sharing OFF. Sign in with a passkey and Face ID or Touch ID. No passwords, no ads, and no tracking.

Off-Grid Navigation

No signal. No problem.

Tactical navigation for people who head out prepared. Offline maps for England, a red night mode that keeps your night vision, compass bearings locked through the camera, and Team Radar to see where your team is.
