Free Content in the Happier App

The Happier app has some free content and some that requires a subscription.

  • The free content's available inside the Happier app on Apple and Android mobile devices.
  • If you don't have the app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device yet, download it for free from Apple's App Store or the Google Play store and create a free account.
  • We don't have this available for computers so if that's what you want to work on, check out our Help Center article Happier on a Computer.

Open this page on the same cellphone you use for your app and tap the links below to go straight to the free content. You can also search for them inside the app.

Free Individual Guided Meditations


Content's often added to the free section for short periods of time to go along with a theme on the Ten Percent Happier Podcast or something we're currently sharing with the community so this list might not include everything.

This list is subject to change.
