Insight Timer launches New Year's resolution and intention-setting features with AI recommendation engine. Last updated: April 2, 2026 10:50 pm Published April 2, 2026 After 16M intentions set in 2025, Insight Timer debuts AI tools to personalize the journey from setting intentions to reaching goals SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6, 2026 - Insight Timer, the global leader in mindfulness with over 32 million members, has officially launched a suite of new features to turn New Year's resolutions into consistent daily action with the help of AI-powered personalized discovery and daily lessons from world-renowned Teachers and thought leaders. Available now, Insight Timer's new intention-setting feature uses proprietary AI to understand the daily intention each user sets and to serve as a digital librarian, suggesting relevant content from the world's largest free library of over 300,000 guided meditations and mindfulness tracks. "Sticking to New Year's resolutions is notoriously difficult; most fail by February. To solve this, we're connecting long-term goals and daily intentions," said Insight Timer CEO Christopher Plowman. "By displaying your resolution as a constant reminder and using our AI librarian to suggest specific, supportive practices, we help you take manageable daily bites out of big goals. If you live your intention each day, you'll have lived your resolution all year." Throughout 2026, each Insight Timer user's resolution will display on the app's home screen as a daily reminder, alongside prompts to set smaller daily intentions to make progress toward their larger goal. Insight Timer's New Year's resolution-setting feature also allows community members to generate personalized graphics, which can be downloaded for use as lock screen backgrounds or to share on social media. For additional motivation throughout January, Insight Timer's Intention Setting Challenge invites users to join the platform's top Teachers for an exploration of new ideas that inspire lasting change. With a different theme and Teacher each day, the Intention Setting Challenge provides a simple five minute guided practice that ends with one clear intention for the day ahead and the option of setting that day's intention as your own. Over the month, challenge participants will gather 31 small but powerful intentions to help with feeling more grounded, patient and present. The challenge features a world-class lineup of experts, including bestselling author and wellness educator Aelex Elle, spiritual philosopher and author Lalah Delia, renowned therapist, author and boundary expert Nedra Glover Tawwab, and mindfulness pioneer Jack Kornfield. Together, they will lead daily practices covering essential themes like letting go of the past year, cultivating patience, and building the confidence needed for sustained personal growth. Nearly half of New Year's Resolutions are given up by the end of January, but Insight Timer's research shows that consistency and variety of meditation practice create the greatest improvements in mood, equanimity and resilience. By providing daily prompts and personalized content recommendations grounded in each user's specific intentions, Insight Timer is helping its community frame their New Year's Resolutions and daily intentions as moving toward a positive state, which is more motivating than running from a negative one. These new features and the Intention Setting Challenge are available now in the Insight Timer app on iOS and Android.

Insight Timer launches free Therapist Hub to support Mental Health Professionals. In time for World Mental Health Day, Insight Timer's Therapist Hub helps mental health professionals support clients, grow their practice, and care for their own well-being - all for free. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2025 - Insight Timer, the world's largest mental health community with over 30 million members, today launched Therapist Hub, a free platform designed to simplify how mental health professionals support their clients, grow their practices and care for their own well-being. The Therapist Hub provides free tools for all mental health professionals including therapists, psychologists, social workers and counselors. The platform has been developed in conjunction with mental health professionals to address three key pain points: Extending Client Care: Mental health professionals can access Insight Timer's 300,000 free mental health resources in 50 languages, including audio practices and worksheets, and organize them into public and private folders which can be shared with clients to help support them between sessions. Insight Timer's diverse library includes original content from renowned experts such as Dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of IFS, Tara Brach, Kirstin Neff and Rick Hanson. Finding New Clients: Mental health professionals around the world can promote themselves and their areas of expertise in the free Therapist Directory, reaching Insight Timer's millions of users seeking mental health support every day. Care for Caregivers: Mental health professionals can access free resources designed specifically for them to address industry-wide burnout caused by compassion fatigue, imposter syndrome, work-life imbalance and physical pain. "In many ways, therapists are becoming the new school teachers in that they provide essential care but end up overworked and burned out. It's not sustainable and must be addressed. Therapists around the world already turn to Insight Timer to support client care, referring over 2,000 clients to our platform every day for the tools we offer. Our investment in the Therapist Hub reflects the trust mental health professionals place in us, and our commitment to making their work easier, for free," says Christopher Plowman, CEO of Insight Timer. Since the beginning of the pandemic, mental health professionals' workloads have increased substantially and in 2024, over 50% of therapists reported moderate to high levels of burnout while 63% reported experiencing compassion fatigue. Demand for mental health professionals is higher than ever according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, yet many therapists report needing more clients to grow or sustain their business. This is especially true for those with independent practices or early in their careers. Insight Timer's free library includes 300,000 resources in 50 languages including guided meditations, music, soundscapes, focus and sleep tools and worksheets designed to reinforce key mindfulness concepts. Mental health professionals enjoy complete freedom to use Insight Timer's worksheets however they need, from printing and sharing with clients to hosting them on their own sites. "The Insight Timer Therapist Hub is a valuable new resource for mental health professionals. It not only supports clinicians in caring for their clients but also provides tools to help care for their own wellbeing. I'm pleased to have contributed a series of free self-compassion worksheets to the library, which therapists can share directly with clients or use in session. The Hub offers professionals a simple way to integrate the wisdom of Insight Timer with their clinical practice," says Kristin Neff, Ph.D. With Insight Timer's new Therapist Hub, mental health professionals can easily curate collections of resources for use with their patients during and between sessions, attract and engage new clients with profiles in the global Therapist Directory and utilize burnout prevention tools for their own wellbeing.
