Hi all, looking forward to answering any questions you might have. Here are some more details on how Oak is different: https://medium.com/@kevinrose/oa...

Oak is brilliant, @kevinrose! Super impressed with Oak's production value and simplicity. Such a pleasure to use. Creator of Haze, Thunderspace, Windy, Sunny, Away, Flowing and Rainy here. I'd love to discuss an opportunity with you and explore how much alignment there is. I promise I won't waste your time. Please drop me an email at franz taptanium com.

Love this app!

I’ve been beta testing Oak and it helped me finally create a morning meditation routine (on day 59 in a row!) after previous attempts with other apps failed. Oak is simple, beautiful & effective. It’s split into 3 areas (meditate, breathe and wisdom) and has awesome community stats that show you how many other Oakers? (Kevin we need a name for our community haha) have meditated so far that day. Your Oak tree on the home screen grows as you continue to meditate as well. Overall, it’s been super fun to see this app develop over the past few months and help provide feedback in the FB group. Kevin as talked about how he hasn’t seen a meditation app that continues to evolve with user data and usage, and I hope they continue that approach as time goes on to keep pushing the limits of how great a meditation app can be. Can’t wait for them to introduce TM too! 🙏

Oak has been a good introduction to a daily practice.

I've tried most of the meditation apps that are on the market, but have never been able to create a personal meditation practice. Oak is the first app that's made me excited to set aside meditation time. Seriously, love this app. Also, it's a lot of fun to watch that tree. :)

Loving it so far.

Pros:

Easy to use and develop a practice

Cons:

I haven't found one yet.

Love the transparency behind this project. That's how you build something in 2017! Good job, Kevin 👏

I've also been part of the beta testing group from the beginning and can't wait to try out the final version. Great job team.

The video visuals and message are exquisitely crafted. Who was the team behind the video production? Just watching the video made a 'non-meditation' person want to give this app a try.

Congrats @KevinRose! 👏

Pros:

simple to use meditation and breathing timers, nice chime tones, good introductory guided meditation

Cons:

adding apple watch app

I've been following the development of Oak through the beta process and as a dedicated user of Insight Timer (643 consecutive days) I can say that if I hadn't gotten rid of my iPhone this would be a go to for personal (without community) meditation. Beautiful product, focused on the right things. Congratulations @kevinrose

Excellent app for meditation. if I were to choose among insight timer, headspace, calm, and oak, I'd choose Oak. This app beats every other app in terms of its balance between simplicity and unobtrusiveness. The best app for meditation is here, and you do not need to waste money on anything else.

Pros:

The best meditation app out there! Two different styles, & helpful.

Cons:

Would be nice if the timer stayed on when the screen goes blank.

The *best* meditation app out there, in terms of simplicity and getting the job done!

Maybe have more of a selection of noises to mediate to.

Pros:

Love the simplicity of the app and the instructional.

Cons:

Wish there was a fire ambient noise.

Always loved the name Oak

Been looking forward to seeing this launch! Perfect timing just as I'm getting back in to meditation.

I don't get it. It's 207 and companies still release apps only for one platform (usually IOS). people, learn react-native!

It's been fun watching you build Oak in public on your Facebook Group, @kevinrose. 👍🏼 Would you build your next product this way? While there's no "right way" to build products, we've always been proponents of involving a community in the building process.
