Ten Percent Happier
The tagline for this app is “Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.” You know who you are! What Rinzler likes about this app is its full courses, so you can “go on a journey with a particular teacher,” if you find one you love.
Created by the bestselling positive psychology writer Dan Harris, this app has a real-world, non woo-woo vibe to it. “They also have a ‘coach’ function where you can ask a live human any questions that arise during your meditation path,” says Rinzler.
Simple Habit
Whether you’re curious about meditation or are looking for a new app to try, Simple Habit is a wonderful choice that we seem to go back to again and again. The app makes meditating extremely customizable, giving you meditation sessions geared to your interests, with plans that focus on stress management, anxiety, sleep, positivity, and even eating.
One of our favorite features is the on-the-go meditation sessions, allowing you to get some peace while taking a break at work, during your commute, or right before bed. It also holds hands with Apple Health.
