I've used the Calm app for the introduction course to learn about how to meditate and start with guidance, then I continued on my own. Paying 10$ monthly for sitting still is hilarious. IMHO the quantity of these kind of apps, guides and whatnot simply offer a paradox of choice, which is ironic, since the user wants to relax, not obsess if he bought the right app, subscription and/or meditation technique.

I now use Enso app [1] just to alert the 15 min duration, it's free on the App Store (optional purchases for different alert bells).

Personally I just used to use the built in timer with my phone and do 30min sessions. But these days I have far more success with just sitting without a timer. I recommend doing it at night where you can do this unbounded by anything.
