    Request a target session length: details

    Calm

    Selected durations

    Some existing meditations offer adjustable session lengths; this is not arbitrary-length generation of a new script.

    Supporting sources:

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Medito

    Choose recorded length

    The publisher describes choosing sessions from 3–30 minutes. This selects available recordings rather than generating a script to a target duration.

    Supporting sources:

    Source checked . Availability can change.

    Smiling Mind

    No listed support

    Smiling Mind: Its free consumer app offers publisher-made sessions, mental-fitness activities and configurable routines. The reviewed tools do not list a personal script-writing and narration-generation workflow. Our review found no listed support for this criterion; this is a published-feature assessment, not an explicit vendor denial.

    The Tapping Solution

    Choose existing duration

    Pick a recorded session by its length; no custom-length narration is generated.

    Supporting sources:

    Waking Up

    Extend recorded sessions

    Daily Meditations can insert up to 20 added minutes throughout a recording and append further time at the end. Other Practice sessions support added time at the end. This changes silence/duration, not the teacher's script or arbitrary pause placement.
