Wonderful app. With one request.

Thanks for making this wonderful app! 🙏😊 One request: if the timer can ring even when the phone is locked (similar to the Meditation Timer Pro app), it would be the most perfect app (so I can use for walking meditation too)! Would appreciate you kindly consider adding it 🙏😊

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your wish 🙏 I'm really glad you enjoy the app. Good news: this is now implemented in version 1.2.3! The timer keeps running and the gongs still sound when your iPhone is locked, so it works for walking meditation too. If your app hasn't updated automatically yet, just grab the latest version from the App Store. If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you at support@gongmeister.app. - Peter

Simple, transformative, & elegant

I’ve used all the big-name meditation apps and each of them made me feel overwhelmed with all the decisions I had to make and buttons I had to press to start a meditation session. GongMeister is the complete opposite—it’s a delight, it’s simple, lightweight, and non-disruptive. Kudos to the developer. They really thought through the design, user experience, and the goal that a user wants to achieve in meditation. Highly recommend!! And, I also encourage users to donate to the developer in-app (it’s completely optional) to give them a big thanks for the simplicity and for making the app free to all.

Thank you so much for this review. It genuinely moved me. The experience you described is exactly what I felt when I tried other meditation apps. Before I could even close my eyes, I was bombarded with questions, prompts, and decisions.. and it didn't stop after the session either. I just wanted to meditate. That feeling is precisely why I built GongMeister. Knowing that someone else experienced the same thing, and found in this app what they were looking for, means a lot to me. And thank you for encouraging others to support the app. Every contribution helps me keep it free, ad-free, and growing. Wishing you many peaceful sessions. 🙏 - Peter

The perfect minimal silent meditation timer with singing bowls

Amazing app, max 60 minute silent timer with beginning, intermittent, regular, and ending gongs. It has minimal features, a great aesthetic, and it functions perfectly as designed. The singing bowl strikes aren’t harsh and you can really focus on them as they attenuate into silence, if that’s part of your practice in a given day. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making this available

Thank you so much, Mike! Your description captures exactly what GongMeister is meant to be. Version 1.2 just came out with a completely redesigned intermediate gong system: four modes now, including custom times and second-precise intervals. I worked hard to keep everything minimal and intuitive despite the added flexibility, so I hope it still feels right to you. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to reach out at support@gongmeister.app. Happy meditating! Peter

Perfectly simple and straightforward

Just what I was looking for, thanks

Great app

Love the customization - well thought out. The only recommendation would be better sounding singing bowl recordings. Otherwise, simplistic perfection!

Thank you for your feedback! I’m happy you enjoy the customization. I’m also looking into improving the sound quality of the gongs in a future update. 🙏

Very, Very, Nearly Perfect !!!

GongMaster is an ideal yet very simple meditation timer app enabling the user to activate a beginning and ending tone and also an intermediate tone that will repeat at a specified interval throughout the overall meditation time period. These features make GongMaster an excellent and elegant timer that will meet most people’s needs.

I would like to be able to set up a meditation time of three, four, or five hours duration and set a single, non-repeating intermediate gong to occur at a time of my choosing. As it is, GongMaster limits the overall meditation time to 60 minutes, and the intermediate gong is a repeating gong only. So, it doesn’t quite fill all my meditation timer needs.

Nevertheless, GongMaster is a beautiful and well designed app and fulfills a great need in the worldwide meditation community.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! 🙏 I’m glad to hear that you enjoy GongMeister’s simplicity and design. You make a very good point about supporting longer meditation sessions – that’s something I’m considering for a future update. As for the ability to set a customizable intermediate gong, this feature will be included in the next update. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and suggestions. Feedback like yours really helps me improve GongMeister for everyone who meditates. Warm regards, Peter – Developer of GongMeister

GongMaster

No doubt an excellent timer. More than enough choices of variable gong sounds and time settings. Volume of the overall sound can be smoothly adjusted. It’s all you need.
Thank you.

Perfect for those who want to guide their own practice.

Really simple app that doesn’t try to advertise in app or trick you into subscribing - a great no frills timer, customisable bell sounds and timings give you everything you need to set up your session without distraction or difficulty. Very happy to have found this app.

Very good, simple meditation app

Just really clean and easy no tracking or unnecessary stuff. Would
like a random range for the intermediate bells e.g random time between 6-8 mins

So authentic

This app is brilliant. Simple straightforward options. So simple to set up. And it does exactly what is meant to do. The sound is amazing … exactly like a real singing bowl. Brilliant app!
