    Minimal guidance and extended silence: details

    Aura

    No listed support

    Aura: The consumer app personalizes recommendations from coach-created recordings. Its broad library includes meditation, hypnosis, prayer and breathwork, but recommendation personalization is not custom script generation. No tool for making a new personalized script and guided recording in this format was listed. Existing library recordings, recommendations and timers do not meet that creation definition. This is an assessment of the reviewed published feature scope, not an explicit vendor denial.

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Down Dog

    Guidance and silence controls

    Assembled meditation recordings use guidance-frequency and longest-silence settings; this does not imply free-form script generation.

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Insight Timer

    Unguided timer

    Customize a silent or ambient timer with interval and ending bells. This does not produce a new guided script and recording.
