The Oria take
The least demanding way to find out whether meditating suits you: no account, no trial to remember to cancel, and a timer that does not want anything from you. The library is small and that is the trade — if you want a course to follow, this is not it. Worth knowing it is updated less often than the larger apps.
What is Oak?
A small, free app with guided and unguided meditation, a few breathing exercises and a streak counter — and no subscription, no account and no upsell. It suits somebody who wants to try meditating without first deciding which subscription to trial.
What it offers
- Guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditations
- Unguided sessions with a timer and optional background sound
- Breathing exercises alongside the meditations
- A streak counter, without notifications nagging you
What we like
- Genuinely free with nothing behind a subscription
- No account needed, so nothing to cancel or unsubscribe from
- Small enough not to be overwhelming on the first day
Things to consider
- iPhone only — there is no Android version
- A small library with no structured course to work through
- Updated less often than the larger meditation apps
What it costs
Free.
Free, with no subscription and nothing held back behind one.

Questions people ask
Is Oak completely free?
Yes. There is no subscription and no paid tier, and you do not need to create an account.
Is Oak on Android?
No. It is an iPhone app. Smiling Mind and Insight Timer are the closest free alternatives on Android.
Is it enough on its own?
For finding out whether meditation suits you, yes. If you want a structured course to follow week by week, a larger app will serve you better.

Prefer practising with other people?
An app is a good companion between sessions. These are the places in Perth doing the same thing in a room.
