  • The most zen meditation timer out there

    Cleaner than any alternative (and I’ve tried nearly a dozen). Exactly what you need and nothing you don’t. Elegant uncluttered design. There are no excuses not to meditate.
  • My Morning Meditation Timer

    I've been using this app every morning for years. Simple to set up and use, nice range of options, and a good selection of sounds.
  • Great app!

    I’ve been using Samsara for the past 7 years to track my daily meditation in my kundalini yoga practice and it’s a terrific app. Lots of options for bells and reminders. Now that the app can be used across various devices is perfect. I wish it had been like that always. Highly recommend.
  • Simple and works

    The only missing feature I wish was there would be to easily restart the same timer. I have to bounce between two separate 5-min times with the same settings but a different name if I want to use a 5min timer more than once per day
  • Best, minimal, easy and elegant meditation timer eved

    Like I said, this is the best, minimal, easy and elegant meditation timer. I've been practicing TM for years and this is always my go to timer twice a day. Highly recommend it. Intuitive and doesn't have any cheesy graphics either.

  • The best meditation App

    I’ve been using this app to time my TM meditation twice a day for years. It’s just what I needed, unobtrusive and easy to set up. I just hope we can get an Apple Watch version soon.
  • Difficult to set time

    I really like the simplicity of this app, nothing but a timer and related info. If you don’t need/want/like guided meditations this might just be the perfect meditation timer app for you!

    Thanks for your feedback, DeusExLibrus. This has been addressed in the latest major release of the app, Samsara 6. I think you're going to like it far better.
  • Samara app helps get me to the cushion

    I’ve shared Samsara with friends and family. We share our graphs at the end of the month with each other. Feels like a little sangha and helps us support our sitting practices. I really like the flexibility of crafting different bell and chime combinations.

    Thank you, ScottJT6. I appreciate your kind words.
  • letting down old users

    i previously had a glowing review of this app. after using it for years the developer decided to change the app without any notice switching to a subscription model that completely locks previous users out of years of their stats and restricting all modes of use, citing a price of “cup of coffee” for continued use. i understand the need to make it sustainable but not at the expense and disadvantage of people that were your original supporters. also, $20 a year is not a cup of cofee, and for the next 10 years that makes it $200. i would have gladly paid a one time fee for the new version of the app but asking a subscription fee for a simple app that went years without updates is not a good move. the developer states “building it from the ground up” while it only received a cosmetic update, all the options are the same. the app is still missing some key features present in most other apps, like icloud sync for people with multiple devices. this is a fairly simple app that worked just fine for years without any updates and the least you could do is let old users keep the old app, even if without future updates. this is not fair treatment, it feels like being bullied into keeping the stats you accumulated over many years. without any warning too. really disappointed.

    It truly saddens me to see you go, Elektrius. Adding a subscription to sustain the development of Samsara was a tough decision to make, and I appreciate your disappointment. I shipped free updates for the pas the years, but I'm sorry to say that that isn't sustainable. I hope you continue using Samsara despite your disappointment.
