Suggestions for meditation apps, or go back to Calm or Headspace?
@mat_sherman and I have been talking about meditation and I was remembering I had tested out @Calm and @Headspace. I searched forums and see references to these in convos 5 years ago. They still seem like the main contenders, but I also just downloaded @Insight Timer App @Breathwrk and https://www.meditatehappier.com/ too.
Anyone have experience with any of these? I'm new to meditation, have tried it a few times but have yet to build a habit and need to! Any recs are greatly appreciated!

I've used Calm and Headspace before.
For that past few years I've been using Brain.fm. I like it because it provides a bit more than just meditation. It has music based on your activity. It uses pulses in the music to get your brain waves in line with what you want to do... deep work, read, small tasks...
Also, a friend of mine is developing a meditation app, Visuatate that blends mindfulness and VR/AR. https://visutate.com/
Product Hunt Favorites
@bryce_york_ag thanks for both your suggestions! Encourage Visutate to launch on Product Hunt 😁
@ph_leeanntrang I've mentioned it a couple of times to Orkun... maybe I'll just have to hunt it myself :)
Nomadful
I've actually developed a mental health app, that includes breathing and meditation. I bounced between Headspace and Calm constantly, but what I hated the most is that they were literally charging us to breathe! So, perhaps, you could give Nomadful a try and let me know what you think.
This thread just caught my attention!
I haven't used any apps but have been meditating for 10 years now. The unusual part is that it used to take me 2 mins previously to go deep into meditation but now it takes 15-20 mins. Will have to find the reasons though and maybe try one of these apps.
