Mindfulness Timer
A frame for attention practice. Start it, notice, return, and let the sound tell you when the practice ends.

What this one is for
- No visual distraction
- Soft close
- Any length from 1 minute
Practice is the noticing and returning, not the staying. A session full of wandering and coming back is a complete session, whatever it felt like from the inside. It opens at 10:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Notice, return, repeat. Wandering is the practice, not a failure of it.
- Works between meetings; it runs fine in a background tab.
- No visual movement on screen to pull attention back to the device.
Getting the most from the mindfulness 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.

Questions people ask
Can I use a mindfulness timer at work?
Yes. A silent five or ten minute block between meetings works well, and the timer runs in a background tab so you can look away entirely.
Does the mindfulness timer make any sound while running?
No. It is silent throughout and ends with whichever sound you pick, including none at all.
Can I keep the screen dark?
Yes. Nothing flashes or animates, so the page can sit face down or dimmed without affecting the countdown.
