Mowditate
Tobias Kollmar
I am Tobias Kollmar, a physiotherapist and the developer of Mowditate. I have meditated since I was about 15 or 16, and I have been learning to program for around four years.
Mowditate brings together my enjoyment of meditation and my interest in technology. As a physiotherapist, I also bring professional knowledge of relaxation techniques and meditation. Together with my own experience, this informs how I develop the app.
Mowditate began as a hobby project to make something I wanted to use myself. Many meditation apps felt too cluttered to me or focused mainly on guided meditations. What I missed was a good, flexible timer for my own practice. So I started building one. That became Mowditate, with Mow by my side from the very beginning.
Keeping it easy to begin
That is how I continue to develop Mowditate: the timer stays simple and directly accessible. Additional content is given a place where it does not distract you during meditation or make the timer harder to reach. You should not have to navigate past courses, badges or other offers to start meditating.

Mow
Mow is a small, round, fluffy cow. She looks at the world from a beautiful green meadow and wants to help you bring meditation and mindfulness into everyday life.
She is known for her cheeky, occasionally outspoken humour and her infinite wisdom. Nobody in her meadow has seriously questioned the latter so far.
Mow takes your questions seriously. Fortunately, she does not always take herself quite so seriously.
About the articles
In the articles, I share what I know and what I have learned through meditation and mindfulness. Mow chips in with her own thoughts.
