User finds many meditation apps overwhelming with excessive features (courses, streaks, social). They desire a truly minimal experience focused on quiet sitting with a simple bell or timer.
I've tried Headspace, Calm, Insight Timer, Ten Percent Happier... they all have the same problem for me. Too many features, too many choices, too much content. I just want to sit quietly for 10-20 minutes with maybe a simple bell. No courses, no streaks, no social features, no mindfulness journey. The irony isn't lost on me that meditation apps stress me out. Anyone found something truly minimal? Or do you just use a basic timer? I'm starting to think the simplest solution might be the best one. What's worked for you when apps became part of the problem they're supposed to solve? Edit: I'm really grateful for all your insights 🧿❤️❤️
