Would be nice to see what Android apps you use for self-help 😁
Medito
cool, another app by a nonprofit that has no ads!

I’ll start with my daily driver: Smiling Mind (https://www.smilingmind.com.au/).
Pros:
-
has no ads, content is free and is made by an Australian non-profit;
-
has lots of programs targeting different needs: simple meditations, programs designed to help improve sleep, short breathing exercises for when you’re in panic, stress relief, concentration…
-
there’s also a 30-day “mental fitness” challenge to keep you hooked;
-
wellbeing check in and reminders;
-
offline downloads.
Cons: (so far)
-
starts feeling repetitive once you use it for a few months but I guess that’s normal, exercises are still cool;
-
not open-source.

Only in these times would people pay to meditate with no teacher.
Are you actively part of the solution, or merely perpetuating the suffering by anon commentary?
Lolll
Are there any good open-source ones?
The app I’m using (Smiling Mind) isn’t but @ananesiken@lemmy.world mentions Medito being open-source (https://github.com/meditohq/medito-app).
Update: Medito is pretty great on first use. Will try to use it regularly to calm down now.
Excellent! I’ll try it out then.
+1 for smiling mind
Waking Up. Incredible resource, use it every day.
I first learned how to meditate using headspace for a few months with a code then after i got the basics i shifted to medito’s unguided meditation. Recently i got a free year subscription for Balance app(you can still claim it), so im using it to learn a few more advanced techniques but most probably i will be back to medito , because its the best ad free open source Android option out there.
