Our Story

As teenagers growing up in a world dominated by social media, constant notifications, and nonstop pressure from school, sports, and life, we saw something troubling: so many of our peers were quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, and technology overload.

We didn’t see many resources that felt made for us, and if they were it was behind a paywall. So, we built one.

StayMindful is our way of creating a space that actually helps. It’s a totally free app designed to let teens take a break from the noise, breathe, reflect, and recharge.

With simple tools like visual breathing exercises, guided meditations, concise helpful articles, and daily motivational quotes (delivered at different times each day), we want to make taking care of your mental health as easy as checking your phone.

When we learned that 1 in 5 teens have seriously considered suicide, that hit hard and motivated us even more. This isn’t just an app. It’s a mission.

We’re here to build a community where mental health is the priority, not an afterthought.

Technical Details

StayMindful was made up of over 20,000 lines of code written by Charley and Harry Wolf, students at Scarsdale High School. It was created with the Next.js framework, written in Typescript, Javascript, and Python.
