Getting started
What is Daily Taoism?
Daily Taoism brings Taoist ideas into everyday life through readings, meditations, breathing, writing and guided paths. You can begin with a few quiet minutes.
Do I need to know anything about Taoism?
No. Start with a reading, a meditation or a simple practice. No previous study or meditation experience is required.
Who is the app for?
For anyone interested in Taoism, meditation and reflection.
Is the app available in English?
Yes. The app and this Support Center are in English.
Where should I begin?
Open Today and choose the daily wisdom or practice. If you prefer a longer journey, explore a guided path.
Do I have to practise every day?
No. Choose a rhythm that fits your life. You can return whenever you have time.
Can I use the app as medical treatment?
Daily Taoism offers reflective and wellbeing practices. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment or professional mental health care.
Daily practice & wisdom
What is Daily Practice?
Daily Practice offers a new invitation each day, from meditation and breathing to writing and simple everyday gestures.
How do I change the day?
Select a date in the calendar, or swipe left or right on the daily practice card to move between available days.
How long can I revisit a daily practice?
Daily practices remain available while their date is inside the four-week calendar window. When a date leaves that window, its practice is no longer available there.
What happens when a practice leaves the calendar?
The original daily exercise is no longer accessible. Your saved writings and weekly rewinds remain in your personal history. Selected past audio meditations can later be added to the meditation library.
How do free practice credits work?
Free accounts receive three daily practice credits each month. One credit unlocks one eligible daily practice, which you can revisit while it remains in your calendar.
When do credits renew?
The monthly allowance renews on the 1st of each month.
Which daily practices are always free?
Breathe, Timer and Weekly Rewind are always free.
Does reopening an unlocked practice use another credit?
No. You can return to that unlocked practice while it remains in your calendar without spending another credit.
Are all Daily Wisdom texts quotes from the Tao Te Ching?
No. Daily Wisdom also includes reflections and inspirations connected with Taoist thought. A reflection should not be understood as a historical quotation unless it is presented as one.
Which edition of the Tao Te Ching does the app use?
Daily Taoism uses The Tao Te Ching: A Meditative Edition from Words of Taoism as its reference edition.
Meditations & listening
Where can I find guided meditations?
Browse Meditations, or discover a meditation inside Daily Practice or a guided path.
Can I choose a meditation by length?
Yes. Use the duration filters in the meditation library to find a session that fits the time you have.
Can I add background music?
The meditation player offers optional background music. This is also available for meditation audio in Daily Practice and paths.
Can I change the music volume separately?
Yes. Open Background music in the player and adjust Music volume. The voice keeps its own volume.
How do I turn the background music off?
Choose None in Background music to listen to the voice alone.
Is background music available for tales?
Not at the moment. The optional background music feature is available for meditations.
How do I save a favourite?
Use the bookmark control on supported content. Find your saved items in your library.
Can I listen offline?
Where a download control is available, download the audio before going offline. Check that it has finished downloading before disconnecting. Browsing new content still needs an internet connection.
The audio will not play. What should I try?
Check your connection, media volume and selected audio output, including Bluetooth headphones. Close and reopen the player. If the problem continues, contact us with the audio title and your app version.
Background music is unavailable. Can I keep listening?
Yes. You can continue with the voice alone. Check your connection and try selecting the music again.
Why does an audio length look different from its rounded label?
A session label can show rounded minutes, while the player shows the actual audio duration in minutes and seconds.
Paths & writing
Which guided paths are available?
Explore paths such as Live With Less, Living With Ups and Downs, and Stop Forcing Things. New content is added regularly. Browse the app for the current selection.
Do I need to finish a path in a fixed number of days?
No. A step a day can be a useful rhythm, but you can move at your own pace.
What do paths include?
Depending on the path, you will find guided meditation, writing, breathing, movement, soundscapes and simple gestures to try in daily life.
What is the difference between journaling, gratitude and a letter?
Journaling gives you room to respond to a prompt. Gratitude lets you note individual moments. A letter gives your writing a recipient and a signature.
Are letters sent to their recipients?
No. Writing a letter in the app does not send it to anyone.
How do I keep what I have written?
Tap Save when you finish. You can return to saved entries in Writings.
What is Weekly Rewind?
Weekly Rewind is an invitation to look back over your week, including a gratitude check-in, and keep a reflection.
Can I export my writing?
You can save up to 10 new PDF exports per day, with up to 100 MB of saved exports in your account. Delete an older export if you reach the storage limit. Copies downloaded to your device remain there until you delete them.
Premium & billing
What does Premium include?
Premium gives access to the Premium content marked in the app, including guided paths. The offer screen in the app shows the current benefits and subscription options.
Where can I see the price?
Open the Premium offer in the app. Apple displays the applicable price and subscription period before you confirm a purchase.
Can I subscribe on this website?
No. Subscriptions are purchased in the iOS app through Apple.
How do I cancel my subscription?
On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Select Daily Taoism and follow Apple’s cancellation steps. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Does deleting my account cancel Premium?
Account deletion and Apple subscription cancellation are separate. Manage your subscription in your Apple account as well.
How do I restore a purchase?
Use Restore purchases in the app and make sure the device uses the Apple account that made the purchase. Contact us if access is still missing.
Can you refund an Apple purchase?
Apple handles refund requests for purchases billed through the App Store. Submit your request at reportaproblem.apple.com; eligibility is determined by Apple.
Will I keep access after cancelling?
For an ordinary paid subscription, access usually continues until the end of the paid period. Check your Apple subscription screen for the specific expiry date and any trial conditions.
Account & troubleshooting
How do I delete my account?
Open Account settings and choose Delete account. This removes your account and saved data and requests deletion of your RevenueCat customer profile. You may need to sign in again. Cancel any Apple subscription separately. If you cannot access the app, contact us.
I cannot sign in. What should I do?
Use the same sign-in method you used when creating the account: Apple, Google or email. For an email account, use the password reset option. Contact us if you still need help.
Why is my Apple email address unfamiliar?
If you used Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email, Apple may have created a private relay address for your account. Use Sign in with Apple again to return to the same account.
Why am I not receiving reminders?
Check that notifications are enabled for Daily Taoism in iOS Settings and that your reminder settings are enabled in the app. Focus modes and notification scheduling can affect when alerts appear. Contact us if reminders still do not arrive.
How do I report an iPad display problem?
Send the screen name, device model, iOS or iPadOS version, and whether you were in portrait or landscape. A screenshot is useful; hide any private writing first.
What should I include in a bug report?
Tell us what you expected, what happened, the steps that led to it, your device model and app version. Never send a password or full payment details.

How can I ask about my personal data?
Contact help@dailytaoism.com from the address associated with your account, where possible. Do not include your journal content unless it is necessary to explain your request.
