Mobilions built Snap Tap Relax, a Health & Fitness app for iOS and Android that helps people hold a calm, post-meditation state through the day. A user snaps a selfie, picks a mode, taps to activate, then locks the phone while the session runs passively in the background for up to 12 hours.
What Mobilions built and why it matters.
Snap Tap Relax is a "passive" wellness and meditation companion designed to help users stay connected to a calm, coherent post-meditation state during the day without actively monitoring their phone. It is positioned for people who already meditate, visualize, manifest, pray, journal, or breathe but lose that elevated state once the day's demands begin.
The core workflow is deliberately minimal: snap a selfie, choose a mode, tap to activate, then put the phone face down, lock it, or turn it off and let the session run passively in the background. Sessions can be set to run up to 12 hours depending on the chosen mode. The experience is silent by design — the app makes no sound.
Mobilions delivered the app for both iOS and Android. It ships with a 7-day free trial and a subscription model afterward.

The product and engineering problems the app set out to solve.
The product targets people who already have a wellness practice but struggle to carry the resulting calm state into a busy day. The challenge was to deliver that continuity through a phone that the user is explicitly not looking at — the value has to be delivered passively, in the background, rather than through active screen time.
A wellness session of this kind must keep running reliably after the user locks or turns the phone face down, for durations of up to 12 hours, on both iOS and Android. Sustaining long-running background activity within each platform's background-execution and power-management rules, while keeping the experience completely silent, is the central technical constraint.
How an app of this type is structured and built.
Information not available in source documents.
A passive-session app like this is typically built around a small, fast activation flow (capture, choose mode, tap to start) backed by a session engine that can persist and run independently of the foreground UI. State for the active session, selected mode, and schedule is tracked so a session survives the screen being locked.
Mobilions delivered the app across both iOS and Android with a shared React Native codebase, then iterated through store releases — recent updates added recurring-mode visibility and timezone control for scheduling.
The notable choices made while building the app.
Building the iOS and Android clients from a single React Native codebase lets one team ship the same activation flow, session modes, and scheduling on both platforms with shared business logic.
The session experience is designed to run with the phone locked or face down and to make no sound, so the implementation centers on reliable background execution and timers rather than foreground interaction.
Activation begins with capturing a selfie, so native camera access is integrated directly into the start-of-session flow to keep it a single, quick step.
Why the stack fits this product.
React Native suits an app whose value is the same on both platforms and whose UI is intentionally lightweight — a single codebase reduces duplication for the activation, mode-selection, and scheduling screens shared across iOS and Android.

The app's real, listed features.
Sessions begin by snapping a selfie, choosing a mode, and tapping to activate.
The app offers 14 session modes; the Play listing breaks these down as 8 relaxation modes, 4 focus modes, and 2 sleep modes (the iOS listing describes relaxation, focus, and rest).
Once started, sessions run passively in the background for up to 12 hours while the phone is locked or face down, with no sound.
A scheduling feature supports recurring modes and lets users set the timezone for scheduling sessions.
The app includes a 7-day free trial with a subscription model afterward.
Engineering detail behind the experience.
Single React Native codebase serving both iOS and Android, with a background session engine separated from the foreground activation UI.
Information not available in source documents.
The session runtime is built to keep long sessions running reliably in the background while keeping the app silent.
Information not available in source documents.
Mobilions delivered and shipped Snap Tap Relax on both the App Store and Google Play, with the iOS app first released in 2024 and both platforms receiving ongoing updates through 2026. Specific business outcomes beyond the live, maintained releases are not available in source documents.

Mobilions' clients describe fast delivery, clear communication, and senior, trustworthy engineering—in their own words.
Great experience working with this team. They completed the development work quickly and efficiently without wasting time. Communication was clear and consistent, they understood the requirements well, gave smart suggestions, and delivered exactly as discussed. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and skilled app development team.
We worked with Ankit, Mayur, and Tushar to build the first version of Baba Hebrew for iOS and Android, and they delivered super fast. The team was responsive, reliable, and efficient, taking the idea from zero to a working app in record time. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to get an MVP live quickly.
Tushar and Ankit did an outstanding job developing our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps. They were efficient, responsive, and technically strong throughout. Thanks to their work, we launched successfully and gained over 1,000 users in the first 30 days. Highly recommend this team for quality mobile app development.
It was a wonderful experience working with Tushar, Ankit, and their team. They built a great mobile app for me and truly brought my vision to life. What stood out was not just their technical skill but their attitude: always positive, solution-oriented, and incredibly patient. They went above and beyond at every step, finding creative workarounds and staying committed even when things got challenging. Extremely professional and trustworthy. I would absolutely hire them again.

Common questions about building an app like Snap Tap Relax.
Yes. Snap Tap Relax was built for both platforms from a single React Native codebase, so the same modes, activation flow, and scheduling ship on iOS and Android.
The session engine is designed to run independently of the foreground UI so a session can continue after the phone is locked or placed face down, within each platform's background-execution rules.
Yes. Snap Tap Relax supports sessions of up to 12 hours depending on the chosen mode.
Yes. The app uses a 7-day free trial followed by a subscription, integrated through App Store and Google Play billing.
Yes. Each session begins with a selfie, so native camera capture is integrated directly into the activation step.
Yes. The app includes scheduling with recurring modes and a setting for the timezone used to schedule sessions.
The UI is intentionally lightweight and the value is identical on both platforms, so a single React Native codebase reduces duplication and keeps both clients in sync.
It depends on scope. Snap Tap Relax looks minimal — snap a selfie, pick a mode, tap, lock the phone — but the real work is the long-running background session that has to keep running for up to 12 hours across iOS and Android power and lifecycle restrictions, plus the trial-and-subscription billing. That platform-level reliability, not screen count, drives the timeline for a passive app like this. We give a realistic timeline after a short discovery call to scope your build.
