Spotify for meditation: does it exist?

Who already tried this

What's the crossover

A meditation stream already exists. A new app would need a narrower job, such as a language or a clinical program Calm does not serve 3.

Demand check

Publish a signup page for a guided sit in a language and share it in the groups you can reach. Count signups against visits.

Build plan

• Start: record sits in a language and put them on a simple play page.
• Next: add a streak for days completed.
• Then: add a sleep sit and a stress sit as separate shelves.
• After that: invite the signup list and watch whether people finish another sit.

Copy the build prompt

Build a small web app for guided sits. Each session has a title, a length, and an audio file. A member plays a session and a streak counts days completed. Store members, sessions and completions in a database. Use plain, accessible HTML.

Risks and unknowns

• Calm already claims over 2 million 3 5 3 star reviews.
• Headspace already ships guided courses for meditation and sleep 4.
• Insight Timer's home page returned no usable body to this fetch, so it was not counted as a match.
