Use the Ten Percent Happier Apple Watch App

Ten Percent Happier has an Apple Watch app to make it even easier to bring mindfulness into your day. You can use our Watch app with or without creating a Ten Percent Happier app account. Get the free Watch app from the App Store. Apple's support article Get apps on Apple Watch has all the details.


The Ten Percent Happier Watch app currently includes:

  • The Daily Dose: A meditation that updates every day.
  • Quick Hits: 15 meditations that our community uses a lot and likes to have handy. Our running meditation and two sleep meditations are included.
  • Talks: 15 Mini Boosts of Wisdom - like a short, inspirational podcast. (Talks don't count towards the Streak in your Ten Percent Happier app.)
  • Timer: The unguided timer on your watch gives you a starting tap and an ending tap so you can meditate anywhere, anytime, and get credit for it in your Ten Percent Happier history if you use the app. 
  • Be sure to set up your Ten Percent Happier app and the Health app so they can share information. Check out our Help Center article Enable Mindful Minutes With the Apple Health App on iPhone.
