Twelve months ago we started the long journey towards becoming a sustainable company. Our business plan says we have two years to go but I often lay awake at night wondering if we'll get there at all... other meditation apps outspend us a gazillion to 1.

Ten years ago this month Insight Timer launched in the app store - the very first #meditation app. Today we achieved another milestone... Ten Million Members. And we did it without #advertising . Just good ol’ grassroots word of mouth. So thanks to all ten million of us.

Last week Calm bought 3 prime billboards in San Francisco. Turns out there was a cheaper one over the road that nobody wanted. And that nobody was us 😜 We’ve never advertised before, but I mean how could we resist? Plus it felt like the perfect way to announce our new website!

Some days I feel so uncertain of myself. Our team makes hundreds of decisions every day which effect millions of meditators. Other days - like today - I remember that we’ve accomplished so much already. So we keep moving. Thanks for hanging in there with us. Christopher

A few days ago we noticed a small green dot meditating in #Antarctica . So we decided to find out more. Here is the response we received from Johannes Ruyssenaers... a very warm hearted meditator in a very cold place.

Many #mindfulness programs for #schools unlock access for #teachers but ask the kids to subscribe when they get home. Kids shouldn’t be commercialised by #mentalhealth apps. So we’re building Insight Kids. Free mindfulness tools for school AND when they get home. Coming soon.

It dawns on you rather quickly, there’s only so much time left, only so many star-filled nights, snowfalls, brisk fall afternoons, rainy midsummer days. So how you conduct yourself and do your work matters. How you treat your friends, your family, your lover. #BruceSpringsteen
