Description
NOT JUST ANOTHER MEDITATION APP
Don’t think of Waking Up as a conventional meditation app—think of it as a new operating system for your mind, and a guide to living a better life.
We aim to offer a far deeper approach to mindfulness than you’ll find elsewhere—one that fundamentally transforms how you see yourself, and the world around you.
But you’ll also discover life-changing, secular wisdom from top scholars and experts, on everything from sleep and doing good in the world to time management and happiness.
Waking Up is free for anyone who can’t afford it. We never want money to be the reason why someone can’t benefit from what we’ve built.
***Created by Sam Harris
Sam Harris, neuroscientist and best-selling author, built Waking Up to be the resource he wished he’d had when he began exploring meditation over 30 years ago.
Sam only includes those practices and insights he’s found to be utterly life-changing. The same is true for the many teachers, scholars, and experts you’ll meet throughout the app.
***A step-by-step approach to mindfulness
We’ve heard from thousands of members who say they never really understood meditation until they took our 28-part Introductory Course.
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner, you’ll dive straight into the deep end of real mindfulness, so you don’t waste any time on the surface.
***Learn the true purpose of meditation
Meditation is about more than just relieving stress, sleeping better, or improving your focus. While it can help you do all of that, our goal is ultimately to help you open the door to a deeper understanding of yourself.
***A place for serious seekers
Explore some of life’s most important questions, on topics like neuroscience, psychedelics, enlightenment, ethics, and Stoicism—from renowned authors and professors like Oliver Burkeman, Michael Pollan, Laurie Santos, Arthur C. Brooks, James Clear, and others.
***In-depth theory and practice
Waking Up explains both the theory and the practice of meditation —so you don’t just learn the “how” of mindfulness, but also the “why.”
You’ll be guided by prominent figures like Joseph Goldstein, Diana Winston, Adyashanti, Jayasāra, and Henry Shukman, who teach a wide range of contemplative practices, including Vipassana, Zen, Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta, and more.
***Timeless insights, modern lens
Within Waking Up, you’ll find some of the most profound spiritual teachings from throughout history—those that have stood the test of time. And you’ll hear from historic voices like Alan Watts.
But we also pressure-test ancient wisdom against modern science, so you won’t find outlandish claims or anything we haven’t found to be empirically true.
***A comprehensive guide
Waking Up supports your growth and development in a number of different ways. You’ll find an abundance of useful features, like meditation timers, in-app support messages, an ever-growing audio library, and daily reminders to help bring your mindfulness practice into your life—plus, Waking Up allows you to save all of your meditation sessions to your Apple Health app.
“Waking Up is, hands down, the most important meditation guide I’ve ever used.” Physician Peter Attia
“If you’ve had trouble getting into meditation, this app is your answer!” -Susan Cain, best-selling author
“Waking Up is not an app, it’s a path. It is equal parts a meditation guide, a philosophy master-class and a highly-focused TED Conference.” -Eric Hirschberg, former CEO of ACTIVISION

Thank you
Thank you
Not your everyday mindfulness app
This is a whole new level of meditation and life content. None of the other apps are close to this
Content is best of its kind, app buggy
Sam Harris is the smartest and wisest ( most eloquent) person I’ve come across. I’ve been meditating for nearly twenty years, and for me, at this stage, the app’s content is a wonderful boost to my practice. The guided sessions work and enlighten. The app does keep getting stuck all over the place and that’s solved by restarting it. And when I go to the link for support in the App Store the page doesn’t load. It’s annoying (but also an opportunity to practice how I react) I’m not letting that deter me. Looking forward to a better version.
A wealth of positive mental being
Thank you to the entire Waking Up team for putting all this beautiful content. 🙏10/10
The best mental health
I truly believe that Sam Harris changing the mental health world like we know it. Incredible work. Amazing app. Thank you so much.
Why annual payment?
I used the waking up app a few years back (payed version) for a few months and loved it, it really changed how I think and approach life. Now I am again faced with a tough time and decided to go back. However, why do I have to pay for the full 1 year subscription all at once and not a monthly payment? Shame, I won’t be paying
Life changer
I don’t write reviews. This app is something else. You should try it.
The best present you can give yourself & loved ones
Well it is absolutely life changing. Slowly but surely. Lots of prctices and the knowledge that complets it. So your mind and heart are at the same place. Thanks for this app!
Thankful for this app!
I love what they’re building here, and very thankful that it exists. Definitely worth a download!
