Down-to-Earth
Way to Be Present

No. Okolee is a real-world mindfulness app, not a meditation or breathwork app. There’s no sitting still, closing your eyes, or learning breathing techniques. Instead, you work with whatever is around you, whether you’re in a waiting room, in a park, on a bus, or anywhere else.

Yes. Okolee is a mindfulness app built around real-world grounding exercises - including sensory exercises focused on what you see, hear, and feel. Instead of traditional meditation, Okolee guides you through eyes-open sensory awareness exercises that use your surroundings to anchor you in the present moment. Whether you are looking for everyday grounding exercises, grounding techniques you can use anywhere, or simply a mindfulness app without meditation, Okolee’s approach is practical and accessible - no prior experience needed.

Most mindfulness apps ask you to close your eyes and focus on your breath. Okolee invites you to open them and notice the world around you. Instead of focusing on a screen, your breath, or a quiet room, you work with the things, sounds and details already around you. Every exercise is designed to fit into real life, whether you’re out for a walk, waiting in line, or just have a few minutes to yourself.

Okolee is for anyone who wants to exercise their attention and notice more of the world around them. It can be useful as a complement to CBT therapy, as an accessible way to practise shifting your attention, or simply for people who feel a bit too much in their heads and want to be more present in everyday life. Okolee isn’t a replacement for professional care.

Whenever you have a few minutes and can give the exercise your full attention. Try it on public transport, with your morning coffee, while waiting for an appointment, or when you sit down outside. You can also use it whenever you feel like getting out of your head for a moment and noticing what’s happening around you. You don’t need a special place or a fixed routine. The exercise happens in the world around you.

Most exercises take 2 to 5 minutes, and none run longer than 10 minutes. The guidance recording plays before you start and doesn’t count toward the exercise time. The clock starts once you put your phone down.

No. Headphones make the guidance easier to hear, but they’re not required. You can also skip the audio guidance altogether. The exercise itself happens wherever you already are, even in a busy environment.

Yes. Okolee has a free version you can use without a trial period. Premium gives you access to more exercises, plants, higher daily limits, and additional audio recordings when you return to the same exercise multiple times.

Okolee is available in English and Czech, including the guided recordings.

No. Okolee is a wellbeing app, not a medical device, and it doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. It can be used as a simple tool for exercising attention alongside professional support, but it isn’t a substitute for a therapist, doctor, or other qualified professional.
