That is cool that it works offline. I will not use it because I don't like the voices. The free meditation app I would recommend is the Healthy Minds program[1]. I have also seen Medito recommended, but the thing that I like about the HM Program is that it is a very straight curriculum, instead of various options scattered as options.

- SockThief 7mo agoThis is great! I've been using Headspace, but recently I get a Duolingo vibe of it. It's still good, but Healthy Minds is in other league. Thank you!
- Cider9986 7mo agoI'm glad you like it! It's been wonderful for me as well. The creators recently released a book called Born to Flourish[1]—if you're interested, I can share the eBook and/or Audiobook.

- SockThief 7mo agoI'd love to get the audio book if it's not too much trouble Edit: I'll send you an email
- eummm 7mo agoHM looks great, but looks like they collect lot of personal data. From their privacy policy: The personal information we collect may include: Name User name Email address Gender Birthday (month/year) Ethnicity Relationship Status Number of Family Members/Children/Children under 13 Experience with Meditation User generated content We may collect other information that does not reveal your specific identity, such as: IP Address or other unique device identifier Information collected through cookies, pixel tags or other technologies App usage data Geo-location information User generated content Device generated data
- Cider9986 7mo agoI agree, I wish they took privacy more seriously, as more software should. Looking at it optimistically, they don't sell or share with data brokers/advertisers, you can block the offensive connections with a firewall, and the app doesn't ask for any information that is particularly sensitive. Additionally, they use data people choose to share to improve the scientific understanding of meditation and mindfulness. I am someone that values privacy, but I don't find it egregious to use this app.
- high_pathetic 7mo agoDitto on the voices. Male voice sounds like a tin robot and it's distracting.
