Vive Launches on the App Store — Guided Meditations That Actually Work in 60 Seconds

SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2026 — Vive, a meditation and wellness app for iPhone and iPad, is available today as a free download on the App Store. It offers guided meditations, ambient soundscapes (white noise, rain, ocean waves — loopable from 1 minute to infinity), and short guided energy exercises called activations. Most sessions run 60 seconds to 10 minutes. A few go up to 20.

The idea is simple: meditation shouldn't require a quiet room, a clear schedule, or 30 minutes you don't have. Vive's sessions are built to fit between meetings, on a bus, or in a parked car before picking up the kids.

The app includes a habit system with points, streaks, and nature-themed progression levels (you start as an otter and work your way up). A social challenge feature lets friends hold each other accountable, and reminders are fully customizable — you choose how many and when.

Vive also includes the GAD-7, a clinically validated questionnaire that measures anxiety on a scale of 0 to 21. Users can retake it over time and track how their scores change as they build a practice.

For every annual membership purchased, Vive plants a tree. The founders' longer-term goal is to acquire land for wildlife sanctuaries and wellness retreat spaces.

"Zach and I kept hearing the same things from people: 'I don't have the time,' 'My house is too noisy,' 'I can't quiet my mind.' So we stopped trying to convince people to meditate longer and started designing sessions that actually fit their lives. Vive is what came out of that."

"The technical side was about making it feel effortless. But the harder part was the design — every session length, every notification, every progression mechanic came from thinking about how people actually live, not how we wish they did."

Availability

Vive is a free download on the App Store. Premium membership is $7.99/month or $79.99/year. Requires iOS 15.0 or later. Works on iPhone and iPad.
