Pixel Thoughts: Mindfulness

Marc Balaban

About this app

Pixel Thoughts is interactive mindfulness. Type what's on your mind and watch it shrink into the stars, while a short meditation written for that thought helps you let it go.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Type what's weighing on you
2. Watch your thought shrink into the cosmos
3. Read a meditation written for your thought
4. Feel lighter

Choose your length, type of meditation and music right under the thought box. Want the original 60-second meditation? Pick Classic.

CLINICALLY STUDIED
The original Pixel Thoughts meditation was the intervention tool in a randomized controlled trial at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, published in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (Westenberg et al., 2018). It's still in the app as Classic.

After a single 60-second session, participants reported:
- 29% fewer anxiety symptoms
- 30% less depression
- 44% less anger
- 13% less pain

Four research publications, three peer-reviewed, including two randomized controlled trials.

Ratings and reviews

It is good , it was very calming for my mind I just tried this app for the first time and it was very helpful whoever made this app love you yrr & your team you are really thoughtful deserve all the good things in the world i hope your app reach the who are really in need of it i have also suggested it to my friend 🫶🏻🥹🤍🌷

Try this, y'all!!! I found this app some years ago while browsing a cool web apps list. I adore it. There was something very calming and peaceful watching my worry drift further and further from me. It felt as if I'd been holding my breath and that I was finally able to exhale. It isn't extravagant with bells and whistles. That's because it's not supposed to be. I so appreciate this sweet little app. Thank you,developers! 100% recommended.

I love this app, I remember I tried it for the first time when it was only on the web, and when I did the pixel thoughts meditation, I was crying when watching my thoughts getting small and vanishing:) and I saw that it actually worked and I felt less overwhelmed and more connected to myself. Thank you💗
