Balance is a meditation and sleep application for Android, published by Elevate Labs. It presents a light blue and white interface that is meant to feel airy and straightforward. The app is designed for people with busy schedules who need to follow strict time limits during the day.
When you open Balance for the first time, it asks a few basic questions. Your answers tell the app about your meditation goals and background. Based on that information, the app recommends meditation courses that suit you. It then provides schedules and times that are detailed but still easy to understand. The app can be used by anyone, whether or not they are familiar with smartphones or technology.
Getting Started and Daily Use
The first launch includes a short setup. The questions cover your goals and your experience with meditation. After that, the app suggests courses and lays out a schedule. The interface stays simple, with a white and light blue color scheme. There is no need for prior experience with meditation apps to begin.
Skill Progression
After you complete a meditation session, Balance notifies you that you have moved up one level in a skill tied to the length of that session. These skills are described as essential, and how much they improve over time shows how far you have come in your meditation practice. Breathing and introspection are among the skills you develop. The app also shows the status of each skill, so you can see your progress and decide whether to increase the intensity of your practice. If a skill has low stats, the app can help you see where to put more effort in the future.
Guided Programs and Reminders
The guided meditations in Balance follow a 10-day program. This program introduces a range of skills gradually. Each part can be adjusted to fit your own goals and needs. If you practice regularly, you can level up and raise your stats over time. The app can send notifications to remind you of scheduled workout times. These alerts are gentle and unobtrusive, so they help you keep to your schedule without adding pressure.
Coaches and Audio
As you move through the app, you hear from two coaches: Ofosu, a male coach, and Leah, a female coach. Their voices are described as gentle, inspiring, and slow, and they are meant to enter the listener's mind quickly. Balance also includes sounds intended to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Music is presented as an essential part of a meditation app, and the app suggests putting on calming music regardless of how advanced your practice is.
You can listen to one of thousands of audio files. These are meant to help you relax, fall asleep, and feel refreshed and rejuvenated. The audio includes various environments and effects that simulate surroundings, such as bustling bars, the thrills of adventure, the beauty of nature, and gentle rain. The more you use the app and meditate, the more relevant the music recommendations become. Because the app learns more about your musical tastes and preferences, it can provide a better experience over time.
