Why Insight Timer Became My Daily Meditation Companion

by Insight Network Inc

If you're looking for a meditation app that doesn't force subscriptions, Insight Timer delivers. It offers thousands of free guided sessions, a customizable timer, and tracks your progress without pressure to upgrade. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned practitioners who want flexibility.

My Full Experience

I've been using Insight Timer for about three years now, and what keeps me coming back is how it adapts to my changing needs. When I started, I relied heavily on the 10-minute anxiety meditations during a stressful period at work. Now I mostly use the timer function with ambient rain sounds for my 30-minute morning sits. The library is massive—I'm still discovering new teachers and styles, from breathwork to sleep stories. What stands out is the genuine commitment to accessibility. While there's a Plus membership with deeper courses (around $59/year), the free version isn't just a trial—it's fully functional for daily use. I've recommended this to friends who can't afford subscriptions, and they've built consistent practices too. The stats tracking is simple but motivating. Seeing my streak build kept me accountable when motivation was low. If I had to nitpick, the search can feel overwhelming at times—there's almost too much choice. But once you favorite a few teachers or styles, it becomes effortless. For anyone serious about meditation but wary of locked content, this is the one.

I have tried most of the meditation apps available, and insight timer is the best. It offers a free library of endless types of meditation. For a small fee of $59 you can sign up for a Plus memberships which gives access to more in depth classes and series. I developed my meditation practice more fully after finding this app. I love that it is a free app because sometimes people can’t afford a membership.

I’ve been using this app on an off for several years now, I only use the timer function. I would pay for all the other features and one friend that I recommend the app to does, but I prefer only silent meditation and I’m very grateful the developers leave the basic mode free of charge.
