About Us

Hi there, my name is Max, and my twin brother Paul and I are app developers from Vienna.
We initially started working on Lightly because we really wanted to have this app for ourselves. We planned for it to have a meditation timer, breathing practices, and a journal — all in one place. Most apps that already existed did either only one of those things, or they did all of them but felt too impersonal.
What began as a very small personal project grew a bit over time, and at some point we decided that we wanted to turn it into a fully published app. Since we both have full-time jobs and could only work on it in the evenings and on weekends, it took us some time. But now, after about a year and a half, we’re proud and excited to publish the first version.

If you end up using Lightly, please let us know how it goes. We’re always up for feedback.

Cheers, Max

Max and Paul, creators of the Lightly mindfulness app
