Meditation Timer
A quiet countdown with a soft ending. Nothing to configure, nothing on screen, nothing counting audibly.

What this one is for
- Silent throughout
- Gentle bell at the end
- Dark screen friendly
The point of a timer here is not discipline, it is permission to stop checking. Knowing something will tell you when the time is up is most of what makes sitting possible. It opens at 10:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Five to ten minutes to start, building to fifteen or twenty.
- Nothing ticks and nothing flashes; the screen can stay face down.
- Consistency at a short length beats occasional long sittings, every time.
Getting the most from the meditation timer
- Settle before you start itSit or lie down first, then press start. Beginning while still rushing wastes the first third.
- Choose the ending soundThe soft bell suits practice; silence suits a shared room. Both are one tap under the dial.
- Do not judge the sessionA restless block you sat through counts the same as a calm one. That is the whole practice.
