Sit before
the world
finds you.
One guided meditation. Every morning. Already chosen for you. Ten minutes before you open your phone โ and the whole day feels different.
Free forever. No subscription. Just sit. ๐ง
You check your phone within minutes of waking up.
The world sets your mood before you do.

What if you went first?
The one feature that changes everything.
SitFirst holds the door.
Gently.
When you open SitFirst, your social apps wait. Instagram, TikTok, Twitter โ none of them are available until your ten minutes are done. Not forever.
Not punitively. Just ten minutes. It turns out that's all it takes. Once you've sat, you still check your phone โ but you're a different person checking it.
The science of showing up
Your brain needs
66 days. Not 21.
The "21 days to form a habit" idea is a myth. Research from University College London found the real average is 66 days โ and for some people, up to 254. The reason most people quit isn't willpower. It's complexity.
66
days average
How long it actually takes to form a consistent meditation habit, according to UCL research.
10
minutes
Short enough to do on your worst days. Long enough to actually work. The sweet spot, repeated daily.
1
decision
Open the app. That's it. The meditation is chosen. The time is set. The only variable is you showing up.
The secret to a meditation habit isn't motivation.
It's removing every possible reason to quit.
HOW IT WORKS
Wake up.
Sit first.
Live your day.
1.
Open SitFirst. Your meditation is already waiting.
Before email. Before the news. Before the scroll. A fresh, guided ten-minute meditation โ different every day, already chosen for you.
2.
Sit. Press play. Let it work.
You don't have to do anything except show up. The rest is handled. Breathe. Listen. Ten minutes later, you're done.
3.
Now your phone unlocks. You're ready for it.
Check Instagram. Read the news. Do whatever you want. The difference is you're doing it from a grounded place. That compounds.
FROM THE FOUNDER
Hi, I'm David.
I built this for you.
I've been teaching meditation for years. The most common thing I heard wasn't "I don't believe in it" โ it was "I just can't make it a habit."
They'd open an app, spend ten minutes choosing, get overwhelmed, and close it. Or do it once, feel great, and forget for a month.
So I stripped everything away. One meditation. Every morning. Already chosen. No library. No algorithm. Just sit first โ and let your day follow.
