I feel the same way. Headspace's guided take 10 course was a solid introduction for me, but once I got used to regular practice, headspace's "extras" weren't needed anymore. Now all I really want is a timer and tracking of when I meditated, so I use Insight Timer.

That's exactly what I did - the ten-talk intro for headspace, straight to the Insight Timer timer with some background sounds.
