Ask HN: What would make meditation tech more accessible in 2025?

First, thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback - it means a lot to me as I work to make Zen Moment better for everyone.

I completely resonate with what you're saying about meditation apps being fundamentally auditory. That's such an important point, and I'm sorry the current experience doesn't make that clear enough.

I want you to know we do have guided breathing sessions available! If you haven't found them yet, they're on the [Breathing Exercises page](https://zenmoment.net/breathing-exercise) - they include different patterns like 4-7-8 and box breathing, with audio cues for each phase (inhale/hold/exhale) so you don't have to keep your eyes open.

But you're absolutely right about the navigation and the overwhelming options. I added a lot of customization features based on some user requests, but it sounds like I might have gone too far and made the basic guided experience harder to find. That's something I need to fix.

Here's what I'm planning to do based on your feedback:

1. *Make guided sessions more prominent* - I'll add a clear "Start Guided Session" button right on the homepage so it's the first thing you see 2. *Create a simplified "Audio-Only Mode"* - This will strip away most customization options and focus entirely on voice/ audio guidance 3. *Improve audio navigation* - I'm looking into adding voice prompts for basic menu functions

Would you be willing to share a bit more about what specific type of guided session would be most helpful for you? Longer meditations? More breathing techniques? Something else entirely? Your input would help me prioritize the right improvements.

Again, thank you for sharing your experience. It's feedback like yours that helps me build a better app for people who just want to sit back, close their eyes, and meditate without distractions.

Warmly, KevinLee Founder, Zen Moment
