This unique meditation app is designed specifically for pregnant people, parents, and people trying to conceive or dealing with fertility issues (as well as their partners).

And now for something a little different. If youre someone who wants to meditate in theory but havent been able to vibe with a practice, you might want to try The Tapping Solution. This app builds meditations around an alternative technique called tapping (also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT), which combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and acupressure with the aim of reducing stress and anxiety, managing PTSD, and more. Plenty of reviewers mention their initial skepticism followed by surprise at how well the technique works for them. So hey, might be worth a shot.

The Tapping Solution's library is as wide as many other apps on this list, covering the standard themes like lowering stress about family, finances, politics, or work; sleep support for insomnia or racing thoughts, and; negative emotions like anger, anxiety, grief, shame, and more. It also has meditations focusing on the physical, like chronic pain and specific illnesses like arthritis, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and cancer.

Get it: $11/month or $47/year, iOS and Google Play

Another offbeat option, H*nest Meditation will be right up your alley if you have difficulty with the peaceful or positive vibes typically associated with meditation. Because, well, the meditations are all about helping you deal with the fucked up shit in the world. You might have seen one of the meditations that went viral a few years ago, before the app was created, but if not, its sweary meditations pull no punches, offering plenty of catharsis to anyone who is really going through it right now. All the guided meditations are between two and 10 minutes long.
