Insight Timer installs on Windows 11, Windows 10 and Mac as a desktop app straight from insighttimer.com in Edge or Chrome. It opens in its own window and signs in with the same free account as the iPhone and Android apps.
The free account covers the meditation timer and a library of more than 300,000 guided meditations, talks and music tracks. MemberPlus adds courses, offline listening and premium tracks.
Below are the official links, the Windows and Mac setup, what MemberPlus costs, and fixes for a web app that will not load or play.

Which Insight Timer download do you need for your Mac?
The App Store app is the iPad build, which runs on Macs with Apple silicon. Intel Macs use the website.
| Your Mac | What to do | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Apple M1 or later, macOS 11.0 or later | Search Insight Timer in the Mac App Store and select Get | Offline listening for MemberPlus |
| Intel Mac with Safari on macOS Sonoma or later | Open insighttimer.com, then File > Add to Dock | Runs as its own Dock app |
| Any Mac with Google Chrome | Open insighttimer.com, then ⋮ > Cast, save, and share > Install page as app | Lands in the Chrome Apps folder |
| Any Mac with Microsoft Edge | Open insighttimer.com, then … > Apps > Install this site as an app | Opens from Launchpad |
Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac to see whether the chip line says Apple M1 or later.
Is Insight Timer free?
Every Insight Timer app is free to install, and no credit card is needed to register. MemberPlus is the one optional subscription.
Yes. Insight Timer is free, and MemberPlus costs $59.99 a year or $9.99 a month in the US. The free account includes the meditation timer with custom bells and reminders, the full library of guided meditations, talks, podcasts and music, playlists, groups and live events. MemberPlus adds all courses, offline listening, repeat and skip controls, high-quality audio, premium tracks and a premium timer, custom folders and the advanced journal. Prices vary by region and app store currency.
How to choose between the free plan and MemberPlus
Both tiers use the same apps and the same account. Only the content and player features change.
Stay on the free plan for daily guided meditations and the timer. Take MemberPlus if you want structured courses or offline listening on a phone. Multi-session courses, downloads for offline play and the advanced player need MemberPlus. Start the 7-Day Trial from the MemberPlus page on insighttimer.com, then cancel before it renews if the free plan covers you.
