One ambassador of mindfulness-through-technology is the AI powered meditation app Aura, which was voted Apple's #1 new app in February 2017 and currently has a 5/5 star rating in the iOS App store. It's available for both iOS and Android, and while it normally costs around $100 per year, Engadget readers can get a lifetime subscription today for just $60 - over 80 percent off.

While there are plenty of different meditation apps on the market, Aura stands out from the rest with a host of unique features:

1. Aura fits with your schedule and attention span.

While some competitors offer 10-30 minute meditations, Aura has options that work for anyone's schedule. Sessions last anywhere from three to ten minutes, depending on your level of comfort, making it great for newcomers and more experienced practitioners alike.

2. It uses Machine Learning to customize your meditations.

Aura is unique in that it's a personal meditation coach that learns from your sessions and customizes your future meditations. Before and after each meditation, Aura asks short questions about your current mood and uses sophisticated machine learning techniques to give you a unique experience that complements your emotional state every time you use it. It even sends you helpful relaxation reminders when you need them most.

3. You can track your progress over time.

Aura also keeps track of your data to paint a detailed picture of the patterns of your mental ebbs and flows. Just like you fitness goals, you can track your mindfulness progress with the help of Aura's gorgeous visual interface.

4. You get 24/7 access for life.

Their premium subscription gives you 24/7 access to all content, so you can have it on hand whenever you need a few moments of silence.
