There's that moment, just before the day rolls over you or just as it lets you go, when your body quietly asks for something. Not another appointment, not more discipline, just space. Shivaki is exactly that space on your iPhone. A native iOS app that isn't loud, doesn't lecture, and isn't trying to turn you into a better version of yourself. It simply offers a hand and guides you through a library of 66 carefully chosen asanas, organized into Standing, Seated, Supine, Prone, Balance, Inversion, and Twist. You can start with ready-made flows — Morning, Evening, Strength, Flexibility, Balance, or Relaxation — or build your own routine, choosing any sequence of poses, the time you want to hold each one, and the rest you need in between. Asanas that are practiced on both sides are recognized automatically and timed for both, so you never have to do the math. As you flow, a soft transition tone carries you through each change, paired with a gentle haptic cue — no voiceovers, no ads, no coach shouting at you. What stays with you isn't the feeling of having achieved something, but the feeling of having gotten something back.
Most yoga apps want you to perform. Shivaki wants you to be present — and wants the technology to step out of the way. Built entirely in SwiftUI and SwiftData, Shivaki runs natively on your iPhone, with no forced cloud and no account required. Your poses, your workouts, and your entire practice history are stored locally on device through SwiftData; an optional Apple Health integration writes completed sessions to your Health app as HKWorkout entries — only if you choose to enable it. You can add your own asanas with your own photo, your own category, and your own bilateral logic. The Dashboard shows your total sessions, your current streak, your accumulated practice time, a calendar of the days you've been on the mat, and the pose that has shown up most often in your practice. Transition sounds are configurable or can be turned off entirely; haptics are there if you want them and silent if you don't. No streaks designed to pressure you, no competition with anyone, no data that has to leave your device. Just your breath, your mat, and a companion that walks beside you when you need it and steps back when you don't. Yoga the way it was meant to be: with you, in you, for you.
