One of the most common questions we get--especially from Brightminders that have made it past Level 2 Graduation--is, "So should I continue with the Journey meditations, or practice one of the techniques I liked so far?" This question opens up several related questions, so we added a nice diagram and some explanation under Level 2 to help you make this decision; it's an important question! We also added checkmarks, so you can easily tell which meditations you've played. Enjoy!

I talk with Brightminders everyday. Something I keep hearing is that you're really motivated for the first few days, and then life happens, you break your streak, and breaking your streak is really demoralizing and you have trouble getting back on the horse. So in this new version, we adjusted how streaks work. Now, once you earn certain total minute badges (e.g. 100 total minutes), you can miss days without messing up your streak. Hopefully, this will help keep you motivated. You got this! -- Toby

From the Journey screen, sometimes it's hard to tell where your next meditation is, so we added a simple "Your Next Meditation" button, which directs you there immediately. Did you ever notice that toward the end of the ending bell, there's background hum? It's been there for years, but we finally fixed it, phew! Enjoy : )

In this update, we improved how we customize meditations based on your goals. You can also now fast forward and fast backward from your phone's lock screen. Enjoy!

Welcome to 3.12! In this new version, we improved how we customize meditations based on your goals. We also added more Progress badges and even gave Progress its own tab! Enjoy : )
3.11.1
2023-03-26
Welcome to 3.11.1! Apps are often built using SDKs (software development kits) and other tools. Every once in a while, you have to update these tools to keep your app working smoothly. That's mostly what we did in this build--update all our SDKs. You could say it's like house cleaning. Importantly for you, this means Brightmind should work even more smoothly, load faster, etc. Enjoy!

Welcome to 3.11! We fixed a major bug that prevented Level 2 Brightminders from playing meditations (eek!). Sorry about that. The audio player is now draggable! And it will remember where you left off if you close the app in the middle of a session. Check out the new Suggested Reading button. We added the option to skip Q&As and Talks in the later Journey meditation packs. If you joined a Retreat live, you should be able to re-listen to the recordings (even if you haven't listened to all preceding Journey meditations), so we added an "I Joined Live" toggle, which unlocks the pack for you. We removed the Label Tracker (beta) cause so many of you said it wasn't working. Stay tuned for another label tracker option! Be well. -- Toby
3.10.1
2023-02-03
Welcome to 3.10! Exciting changes in this one! Most of you said that you wish the Journey meditations would just keep going, so you would never had to decide which meditation to do and so that you'd learn cool new stuff everyday. We've done just that! The extended Journey meditations now take up the whole Practice tab and we'll continue to add a new pack every month for your listening pleasure. We've also added coaching and retreat sign up to the app (you used to only be able to do these things via email). This coincides with four brand new "level graduation speeches". We added the following buttons to the menu: a succinct one-pager, gift cards, SWAG, and donate. Perhaps most importantly, we had a blast adding emojis to all the menu items. Keep up the good work! -- Toby

3.9.2
2023-01-18
Welcome to 3.9.2! The main reason we released this build is that it will prevent the app from crashing when we release the following build (3.10). 3.10 is gonna include an overhaul of where packs are displayed and if we didn't release this mini-update, stuff would break. In this 3.9.2 build, we also fixed a bug on the stats screen after Un-Guided practice sessions. Oh and we added emojis to one of the onboarding screens : ) Enjoy!
3.9.1

3.8.1
2022-08-25
Welcome to 3.8! We added celebratory gifs after each meditation : ). The app can now send push notifications when we release new content or features. Stay tuned! We also fixed a bug that caused the meditation to stop if someone called you and your ringer was on silent. Enjoy!

Improved tablet designs, including landscape view. Enjoy!
3.2.1
2021-12-30
We updated the layout of the version of the Practice tab that you see after finishing the Journey meditations. The new layout is more visually balanced and also lets you see the first three packs in the Library without having to click into the Library. We fixed several bugs with the Un-Guided tab and notifications. Happy holidays!
3.1.0
2021-12-13
You can now download entire packs at a time. This is helpful if you know you're gonna be out of service for a bit. Streaks and total minutes now count up whenever you land on a progress page. And as you earn streaks and total minutes...the icons change color!! We also fixed a bug where if your phone's text size was set too large, you wouldn't be able to read some words. Enjoy : )
3.0.3
2021-10-21
Welcome to Version 3.0! We spent years talking to users, brainstorming, and testing ideas on how to make Brightmind better. We're so excited to share this with you! Highlights include: The 23-meditation Core Curriculum has been expanded to 50 meditations and includes more content around goals (stress less, perform your best, etc.). A new Learn tab that hosts conversations, talks, and Q&As about mindfulness. The ability to favorite meditations for easy access. Enjoy!
