I use the Plum Village app, which is filled with guided meditations of various lengths as well as a silent meditation timer that you can have bells sound throughout. There is also a bell you can set to go off to remind you to be mindful. And its free. Its from a Zen Buddhist group of course but since they are largely responsible for popularizing mindfulness meditation in the west (through the writings of founder Thich Nhat Han, who died last year), I find little to no overt religiosity in the meditations. You have other menus to select dharma talks if you are so inclined. Speaking personally (agnostic), I even find those not so much preaching a religion as spelling out common sense.

All of this is excellent advice. To your specific comment about "your mind doesn't clear", that is ok. You are noticing your mind isn't clear, so you are meditating correctly! This fellow has an extended seminar talk on how to meditate that I can't find with a quick search, but this video will likely cover the same ground. He too had a hard time learning to meditate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thcEuMDWxoI
