About Insight Timer
Insight Timer is a meditation app that offers a large library of guided sessions for meditation, relaxation and sleep, most of it free to use. It also includes a timer for unguided meditation, so you can sit for a set length of time with interval sounds rather than following a recording.
It suits people who want to start or keep up a meditation habit without paying for a subscription, and those who prefer to choose from many teachers and styles rather than one fixed program.
