Insight Timer (Free):
Good for self-guided meditations. The timer can be set for however long or short you want, and has a pleasant bell or chime sound. Guided meditations are available and some of them are quite good. However, anyone can post a guided meditation, so the quality is variable and there is no guarantee that the guided experience is mindfulness/meditation. It may be relaxation, guided imagery, hypnosis, etc.
