Overview

Insight Timer is a meditation and mindfulness app that aims to help individuals sleep better, manage their anxiety, and achieve calm. When the user initially opens the app, they are asked a series of questions, including what they want to get out of their experience with the app. They are then asked to what degree they would like to receive information of a spiritual, scientific, or secular nature. These options can be turned on and off to encourage or avoid certain content within the app.

After completing this set up, they are taken to the main screen where they can choose from a variety of activities including yoga, guided meditation, sleep coaching, or even live streaming events.

For parents of younger children, the app features a special Parents tab that can be used alongside your child. The activities in this section include story-based meditation, pre-sleep affirmations, and self-care strategies.
