"As a project manager in a high-growth startup, my brain rarely shuts off. Insight Timer’s specialized focus tracks and the customizable timer have become essential parts of my morning routine. I love that I can access teachings from neuroscientists at Stanford without a mandatory subscription. It’s helped my productivity and my peace of mind."

"I’ve tried every wellness app out there, but I always come back here. The sheer variety of teachers and styles—from Vipassana to Yoga Nidra—is unmatched. The sleep music is the only thing that actually helps me drift off after a long day. It feels less like a corporate app and more like a global community of real practitioners."
