Medito review

Medito is the answer for people who want a proper guided meditation app and do not want to pay for one. It is run by the Medito Foundation, a registered nonprofit in the Netherlands, and every session, course and feature is free, with no trial, no premium tier, no ads and no account needed to start. The library holds hundreds of guided meditations, sleep stories and breathing exercises, with courses that run from beginner material to 30-day challenges, plus sessions for stress and anxiety. A timer with ambient sound covers unguided sitting, and sessions can be downloaded for offline use. The app code is public under the AGPL license. Medito reports 4.1 million downloads across 190+ countries. What you give up is breadth: there are fewer teachers, fewer sleep extras and less polish than in Headspace or Calm, and the project relies on donations, which fewer than 1% of users make, according to the foundation.
