Meditation Apps

I have tried a couple of meditation apps. I share here my favorites.

Insight Timer

I am currently using Insight Timer. Link: https://insighttimer.com/ I like the free timer with intermediate/ customizable bells (e.g. every 5 minutes) with nice background sounds/ music (though the background images are not so nice like in Calm.) Also it includes free meditations by great mediation teachers like Tara Brach.

Calm.com

I've used Calm one year with subscription. Link: https://www.calm.com/

I like the meditation timer (free) with nice background sounds and images.

You can also use the website from your browser with your PC (e.g. for a meditation break at work with your PC headset)
I liked the interesting courses (called Masterclasses) like the Parenting course by Dr. Shefali Tsabary and the one by Shawn Achor.
It integrates nicely with Google Fit.

Headspace

I have tried the free trial and the starter course from Headspace. Link: https://www.headspace.com/

Waking Up

This app is provided by Sam Harris and much recommended by Tim Ferriss.

You can get access for free by just sending an email.

1 Giant Mind

Link: https://www.1giantmind.com/get-the-app/ 
I've used this app to get familiar with the mantra-based meditation approach as mentioned in Bliss More by Light Watkins. (Once I got used to it I removed it). The starting program to learn how to meditate is nice.

Healthy Minds

Free for both Android and iOS. Involved: Dr. Richard Davidson

Also includes Active practices.

10% Happier

I really recommend Dan Harris 10% Happier podcast.

I haven't tried the App though. Link: https://www.tenpercent.com/

Oak (iOS only)

This app is provided by Kevin Rose. Link: https://www.oakmeditation.com/

Good also for breathing exercises.
