Headspace: Headspace is a mindfulness app with an easy-to-use interface that takes the seriousness and intimidation out of meditation.The app was co-founded by Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk who narrates a majority of the guided meditations. Although meditation itself is rooted in Eastern Buddhist tradition, Headspace isn’t tied to any singular religious identity.
