We all have days where everything around us feels like it’s crumbling. It could be deadlines at work that are taking a toll on you lately, or it could be something in your personal life that you just cannot stop worrying about. Such situations could lead you to feel dull, weak, distracted and low. While it’s only human to feel this way once in a while, it is also necessary to understand what makes you feel better during such situations. For some, it could be eating a soulful dessert while for others it could be going on a run. But if you’re someone who hasn’t found their go-to solution yet or are looking for more options, these 7 calming apps will help you relax, focus and much more.

Insight timer is really providing me with insights. One of the best apps available which helps us to focus, increase productivity, overcome our fears, love truly, gain deep insights, overcomes falseness, relax deeply and be spiritual.

When I signed up for Calm, I was in dire need of some stress relief in my life. And ever since I have taken the guided meditation mornings and sleep stories in the night, most of my external self imposed stress has just evaporated. I love listening to the sound of water and birds in the morning and Calm has given me just that. Thank you to the makers and developers of this app and content for delivering such a great product.

This app helps you with mindful, sleep meditations as well as breathing exercises and unguided sessions. You also have the option to customise the duration and the background sounds as per your requirements. The app also tracks your progress and encourages you to turn the meditation experiments into a healthy habit.

User Review By Akhilpeterpan

This app has an uncluttered approach to meditation and a very simple but powerful meditation to practice! Although numbering a few techniques, they pack enough punch to make every part of my day enlightening and fulfilling from the time I wake up to the time I sleep. The flexibility of duration makes it a complete meditation app. Loved it!

5. Tide

It is a physical and mental health app which offers you nature-themed sounds. It helps you to stay focused, reduce stress, relax and sleep better. You can adjust the app depending on your requirement and time restraints.

User Review By M Bajwa

I had been looking at ways to increase my study hours. Tide provided an unexpectedly unique way to accomplish that. My personal favourite is the ‘cafe’ noise. Kudos team tide!

6. Headspace

Headspace offers you meditations on a new topic every day. It guides you to relax and its regular use is believed to bring calmness, and balance to your life. It also helps in creating the ideal conditions to have a good night’s sleep, which is so necessary!

User Review By KavyaK

Following a recent anxiety attack, I needed help. Came across the app without any research, too. The basic pack has calmed my nerves so surprisingly well from the get-go (just 1 minute). Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself. Great job guys, going to give the anxiety pack a try.

7. Simple Habit

Habits are hard to form, aren’t they? Well, not with the Simple Habit app. It works pretty well for people who have a busy schedule and do not have much time to spare for self-care. Using this app to meditate for as little as 5 minutes can help you reduce stress, improve focus, relax faster, sleep better, breathe easier etc.

User Review By Rosemary Lobo

Really a very very useful app one must try to have their mind’s daily vacation! The sessions are very easy and anyone can practice at any time. Modern approach to stress.
