Medito: Meditation & Sleep
What features does Medito offer besides guided meditations?
Medito includes a variety of features like sleep stories, ambient music with a built-in timer, SOS meditations for stressful moments, and a timer for unguided sits with interval bells. The sleep section is especially robust, with content like a slow train journey story that helps many users drift off.
Can I track my meditation progress in Medito?
Yes, Medito has a simple progress tracker that shows a calendar of the days you meditated. It's subtle and motivating without being gamified or stressful, just a clean way to see your consistency over time.
Why is Medito free, and are there any hidden costs?
Medito is 100% free because it's run by a non-profit foundation funded by donations. There are no subscriptions, locked premium content, or in-app purchases, and you'll only see a donation prompt if you dig into the settings menu.
I'm having trouble sleeping; does Medito have content specifically for insomnia?
Absolutely, Medito offers a sleep section with sleep stories, relaxing music like 'Deep Sleep Piano,' and you can set a timer so the audio doesn't play all night. Many users, including those with insomnia, find the stories and music very effective for winding down.
How does Medito compare to paid apps like Headspace or Calm?
Medito offers a similar range of content—structured courses, sleep stories, and guided meditations—but entirely for free, while Headspace and Calm cost $70-$100 per year. It doesn't feel like a stripped-down version; many users find it just as polished and effective for managing stress and sleep.
