Insight Timer is a community-based mindfulness meditation app and website. In an app like Headspace, you essentially have access to one or two meditation teachers. On Insight Timer, there are thousands of meditation teachers to choose from. You can even enroll in communities that practice mindfulness and meditation together.
The free version of the app offers more than 100,000 meditations, and access to live events where you can practice mediation with people from around the world. The app organizes meditations in different categories, and you’ll find different meditations for dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep, and so on.
The best thing about Insight Timer is the fact that it doesn’t restrict you. You can explore and find teachers and courses that suit your current needs.
Insight Timer has a Member Plus program that gives you access to more than 1,000 exclusive courses and offline downloads for $60/year, but it’s not necessary to get the most out of the app.
Insight Timer is available for iOS and Android.
