• 2024 Pick: Best Meditation App by Healthline, The New York Times Wirecutter, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated
Well-being is a skill that can be learned. We’re here to guide you along the way.
Backed by four decades of research from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and the team at Healthy Minds Innovations & the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, the Healthy Minds Program trains your mind through meditation and podcast-style lessons to develop skills for gaining focus, reducing stress, and maintaining positive social connections.
Research with the Healthy Minds App showed that just 5 minutes a day of practice leads to a 28% reduction in stress, an 18% reduction in anxiety, a 24% reduction in depression, and a 13% increase in social connection.
Featuring our scientific Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose, Well-being Framework, the Healthy Minds Program is a holistic, all-encompassing meditation app that offers the best of both guided meditations and opportunities to learn. You’ll learn simple skills to enhance personal well-being, build healthy relationships, and improve communication, performance, and creativity.

What makes us unique?
Developed from Science:
While many meditation apps can claim the scientific benefits of meditation, our practices are developed directly from neuroscientific research. You’ll also hear from the world’s foremost neuroscientists about neuroplasticity and how to train your mind.
Made for Busy Lives:
Our app features active meditation practices that fit into your busy lifestyle. Don’t have time to sit for 20 minutes? Put on an active practice and train your mind while you fold the laundry.
Guided by Measurement:
Thanks to our pioneering scientific research, the Healthy Minds Program offers the first mobile mental and emotional well-being assessments. Learn about your current level of well-being and contribute to cutting-edge research on the science of well-being. Our app also integrates with Apple Health to track your mindful minutes.
Goes Beyond Mindfulness:
Our guided path offers step-by-step instructions for becoming more present in the moment and developing a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection in life.
Driven by Mission and Supported by Donation:
The Healthy Minds Program is made possible by our donors, who support our vision of a kinder, wiser, more compassionate world. Unlike other apps that require a subscription, the Healthy Minds Program is available by donation, driven by a mission to translate science into tools to cultivate and measure well-being.

Ratings and Reviews
The only app you need
I don’t often write reviews like this, so that tells you all you need to know about this app. I’m so grateful that healthyminds is a non-profit and I’m so glad it’s free for everyone, because this is the easiest mindfulness app to use that I’ve come across so far. Good for beginners (like me) and advanced alike, and there is no catch, no lock icon that you have to pay an annual fee to access. I would recommend to anyone who wants to start meditating.
Thank you to the sponsors
I’ve tried many different mindfulness apps, and find this one very easy to use for a beginner like myself. It’s also great that there are sponsors who make it possible for the app to remain free. Thank you to Dr Davidson and his team for their research and this wonderful tool. It’s especially needed during uncertain times like now.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for rating our app! Your review will help us spread the word about our app and further our mission of a kinder, wiser, and more compassionate world.
Love it!
I am fairly new with mindfulness. Try couple other apps, but this is the first app that I really like.
