Medito review

Medito proves a meditation app does not need a paywall. The Medito Foundation, a nonprofit registered in the Netherlands, offers guided meditations, sleep stories, courses and breathing exercises for free, with no trials, no premium tier and no ads. The code is open source under the AGPL license, the content is developed with mindfulness researchers and experienced teachers, and the foundation says more than 200 volunteers help build it. It reports reaching 4.1 million people in over 190 countries. The trade-offs are scale and polish: the library is smaller than Calm's or Insight Timer's, and you will not find celebrity teachers. Because it relies on donations, its future depends on users who choose to give. For anyone who wants a clean, honest app to build a habit at no cost, Medito is the first one to install.
