One cohort, one group, one closed space

Each cohort only sees its own program

With Authentication, every participant opens an account in the app. You then place them in their cohort's group, “March session” or “Tuesday evening group”. That cohort's sections only appear to its members; when the cycle ends, a former participant keeps their group or joins the alumni group.

The day's audio, every morning, to the right group

The week's notifications scheduled ahead, sent to the current cohort only

On Sunday evening, put the week's practices online: body scan, mindful breathing, slow walking. Then schedule one message per morning, addressed to the cohort's group. At 7 a.m., the participant opens the app and starts the day's exercise; the other cohorts receive nothing.

Starting a new cohort: five steps

For every new cohort, from the back office.
  1. The cohort's group

    Create it and name it after the cohort.
  2. The program's sections

    One section per week, written once, used by every cohort.
  3. The participants

    Each registrant opens an account; you place them in their group.
  4. Gradual opening

    Every Monday, give the group access to that week's section.
  5. Morning messages

    Schedule them for the group, one per practice day.

Attention exercises for what comes next

Three minutes to come back to the breath, ten for a body scan: the alumni library

Mindfulness plays out after the program. Gather short attention exercises in one section, to play before a meeting or on the commute, and open it to the alumni group. On iPhone as on Android, playback continues with the phone locked, and each exercise saved as a bookmark stays available offline.

Questions between two sessions

A form for the week's observations, an agenda for the meetings

A Form section collects participants' questions and observations; they reach you by email and feed the next meeting. The Agenda lists group sessions, in a room or by video call, with the link to the tool you usually use. And if the cohort wants to talk, the Chat extension opens a conversation between members.

AI in service of the program

Two tools, and their price.
To schedule

Eight weeks of messages prepared from Claude

Paste your program outline into Claude, or ChatGPT, which the MCP server links to your app: the assistant prepares the morning pushes for the cohort's group, you review, you confirm.
Included
To observe

An emotion wheel

Describe the section in the back office: three rings, from the broadest emotions to the finest, and an observation question for each. The AI Extension Builder writes the section for you, in your visual identity.
Free

The eight-week program

One cohort per season, a section that opens every Monday, an audio every morning.

Mindfulness at work

One group per enrolled team: each only sees its own cycle, and messages follow its calendar.

The guide who prefers subscriptions

When your meditations are for anyone, with no cohort or calendar, the subscription app is simpler.

Mindfulness coach app: frequently asked questions

Can participants pay for the program in the app?

No. An app built on groups does not use Memberships: the two setups exclude each other. Participants pay for the program through your usual means, invoice or online payment, and the app serves as their practice space.

Can a participant belong to two groups?

Yes: they then see the sections of both, for example their cohort's and the alumni library.

Can I run the group session live in the app?

A Live Video broadcast is visible to every user of the app: it cannot be reserved for one cohort. For a private session, keep your video call tool and post its link in the group's section.

Can I publish a mindfulness podcast open to everyone, alongside the cohorts?

Yes: a section with no restriction stays visible to all, signed in or not. Your episodes on attention make your approach known there; the program's practices stay in the group's sections.

Does the app replace therapeutic care?

No. A mindfulness program is not a treatment; if a participant is going through psychological difficulty, refer them to a health professional, and say so in the description of your program as well.

What budget for a mindfulness coach app?

Count Premium to be on iPhone and Android, plus account sign-in and groups, two options; on Pro, they come as part of the plan. Messages, hosting and updates are covered.

How much does an app for a cohort program cost?

Publishing on iPhone and Android requires the Premium plan. For cohorts, add participant sign-in (Authentication) and their sorting (User groups); Pro already contains both. No subscription to sell: a participant gets in because you add them.
Premium · iPhone, Android and web version$55 /month, billed yearly
Authentication, on Premium$12 /month
User groups, on Premium$5 /month
Pro · both options bundled$105 /month, billed yearly
The developer accounts you open with Apple and with Google are paid separately, to them.
