If you’re searching for a Headspace alternative, chances are you’re seeking more than just generic guided meditations. You want something that actually understands what you need in the moment. That’s exactly where Attached shines, by delivering fully personalized meditation sessions tailored to your current state of mind, mood, and needs.

Why People Look Beyond Headspace

Headspace is user-friendly, backed by science, and offers a wide variety of content. However, many people feel the meditations can be repetitive or not specifically suited to how they feel right now. As one Redditor put it, they appreciate variety, saying:

“I like having a lot of options to pick from depending on how I’m feeling in the moment.”  

That’s a common frustration: even with hundreds of meditations, it’s still one-size-fits-most, not one-size-fits-you.

It's Time To Create A Truly Personalized Meditation Just For You

A mediation made truly just for you

With Attached, you don’t scroll endlessly or hope something fits, you describe exactly how you feel in the moment (e.g. anxious, unfocused, need energy), and the app creates a meditation crafted for that feeling right now.

Mood-Based Personalization

Research shows that meditation routines built around personalized anchors (like habits tied to your needs) are more effective. Attached uses this concept to help you establish a practice that evolves with your emotional and mental changes, no waiting weeks for the “right moment.”

Meditations that heals

Attached meditations are designed to guide you through true emotional release and healing by addressing the root causeof what you’re feeling, not just the symptoms. Maybe it’s anxiety rooted in past rejection, stress tied to unmet boundaries, or grief needing gentleness, each session is crafted to meet you in that depth. Unlike Headspace, which often takes a one-size-fits-all approach focused on general calm or focus, Attached helps you unpack and process the underlying emotional layers, making your meditation practice not just relaxing, but truly transformative.

Why Attached’s Meditation Categories Go Deeper Than Headspace

Unlike Headspace’s generic categories (like “focus,” “sleep,” or “stress”), Attached goes straight to the heart of what you’re really feeling. Each category is carefully designed around core emotional needs, helping you meet yourself exactly where you are:

Comfort Me

• For those moments when your emotions feel overwhelming. Whether you’re spiraling, heartbroken, or just raw from the day, this category helps you return to a sense of safety, kindness, and care. It’s like a soft emotional landing pad when everything’s too much.

Unclench

• Your body keeps the score, and sometimes all that stress shows up as tight jaws, clenched fists, or aching shoulders. These sessions guide you to release physical tension, reconnect with your body, and let it support you rather than feel like the enemy.

Build and Repair Trust

• After conflict or rejection, trust takes a hit. Whether you’re healing from a fight, ghosting, or vulnerability gone wrong, this category helps you repair the emotional bridge, both with others and with yourself.

Heal

• These meditations help protect and soothe the parts of you that were hurt long before today. Think: inner child work, emotional reparenting, and compassionate healing for younger wounds still tender beneath the surface.

Boundary Setting

• If you struggle to say “no” because you’re afraid it will push people away, this category is for you. It helps you practice setting healthy limits while releasing the fear of abandonment, teaching that you can be both assertive and loved.

Create My Secure Future

• Visualize and embody a version of you who is grounded, confident, and trusting. These sessions use affirmations and future self-guidance to build belief in yourself, helping you move toward goals with clarity and calm.

With these emotionally nuanced categories, Attached goes far beyond surface-level meditation, it meets you in the messy, real-life moments Headspace can’t always reach.
