I switched to the Android Headspace app recently and the juxtaposition of what they're trying to achieve (meditation / mindfulness and being in the moment) with the onslaught of unasked-for notifications, sometimes when I was already asleep, was jarring. They should be a poster boy for Calm Technology, but Tech just can't seem to help itself.

That was my experience as well. I've switched to Insight Timer.

You can turn them all off in Android by just going to settings and disabling that specific app's notifications.

Perhaps some people desire (or even need) the unasked-for notification to start the meditation session they forgot about last week.

Let's not throw out optionality.

Can you disable the cloud features on that now? I stopped using it when they forced that on everyone. I had even paid for it previously.
