Your quiet.
Your choice.

Stille is an offline iPhone meditation app operated by Peter Theill. Contact: stille@theill.com

On your device

Meditation sounds and artwork are included in the app download. Selection and playback happen on your iPhone. The app does not send session activity or feedback to a server.

Stille saves your countdown and screen-awake preferences and a local meditation history, including session dates, listening duration, sound, time zone, and whether a session completed. These records stay in the app’s local storage. Deleting the app removes that local storage; device backups are managed by your iOS settings.

No account or tracking

Stille has no account, advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs. It does not request your name, location, contacts, microphone, or photos, and it never reads your health data.

Apple Health and reminders

Both are optional and off until you turn them on in Settings. If you turn on “Save as mindful minutes”, iOS asks for your permission, and Stille then adds each meditation of a minute or longer to Apple Health as a mindful session with its start and end time. Stille only writes this one kind of data, never reads anything from Health, and sends nothing to a server; you can see, delete, or stop it in the Health app. If you turn on the daily reminder, iOS asks for permission to show notifications, and Stille schedules them on your iPhone. No server is involved.

Buying Stille

When you buy Stille, Apple handles the purchase through the App Store. Peter never sees your payment details, and Stille collects no data about it.

Under About Stille in Settings you can sign up for Peter’s newsletter about his apps. If you do, the app sends your email address, the app’s language and which app you signed up from to lokal.theill.com, which sends you a confirmation email. Your address is only saved once you confirm, and it is used for the newsletter and nothing else. It is never connected to your meditation history or your Health data. The emails are sent with Resend, and every one has an unsubscribe link. The sign-up screen also loads the icons of Peter’s other apps from lokal.theill.com. If you never open it, Stille makes no internet connections.

This website

Cloudflare hosts and protects this website and processes technical request information, such as IP addresses, browser information, and requested pages, to deliver and secure it. This site includes no advertising, analytics scripts, contact forms, or tracking pixels. Website requests and support emails are separate from the meditation activity stored on your phone. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for information about its processing.

Sound preparation

Sounds are prepared before release. The iPhone app does not contact sound-generation providers.
