The usual progression is from doing guided meditation as a beginner to eventually using the app as a simple timer with no guidance at all.

The usual progression is sitting. Just sitting.

What your talking about is tech folks seeing the benefits of meditation and looking for shortcuts. If it works for you go for it.

Tech folks didn’t invent guided meditations. There was already seminars, classes, retreat, etc where some one explained how to mediate or walked you though mediation. People just randomly start sitting.

Exactly. And this general progression is what my app will promote and help cultivate. The goal is to help you develop such a strong meditation habit, one that you'll want to stick to and be able to without effort, that you don't need my or any other meditation app for anything at all (except maybe a timer).
