## What is Gongful?

A gong strikes at random moments throughout your day.

Not a reminder to meditate. Not a scheduled check-in. A surprise that finds you in the middle of your life and asks you to pause, breathe, and be fully here.

Set how many gongs you want and your waking hours. Then put your phone down and forget about it. The gong will find you.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose how many gongs per day - anywhere from 1 to 20. Set your waking hours. That is all there is to set up. Gongful schedules them randomly throughout your window. You won't know when they're coming. That's the point.

When the gong fires, your screen opens to a single presence prompt - a short, grounded invitation to arrive in the moment. Feel the weight of your body. Notice the sounds beneath the obvious ones. Let this breath be enough.

Each prompt is generated fresh, so no two are ever the same.
