Description

Headspace is a mental health app that helps people build habits to support their wellbeing through evidence-based meditation and mindfulness tools, sleep resources, and mental health coaching. Founded in 2010, it offers a large library of expert-led exercises for everyday moments such as stress, anxiety, focus and sleep, delivered by trained mindfulness experts.

A Headspace subscription includes over a thousand meditations and tools, sleepcasts, soundscapes and wind-downs for better rest, and Ebb, an AI companion that provides personalized content recommendations and connects users to science-backed tools.
