Perfect for meditation, yin and restorative yoga, breathwork, zazen, or any self-guided practice.

### 5/5 — The best app for your daily meditation practice

*2026-05-28*

I had been looking a long time for a good app to make meditation a daily ritual and the Mindfulness Timer is perfect for it. It’s uncomplicated and intuitive. I like the selection of sounds to choose from. I’ve been using it regularly for a few weeks and have noticed a considerable difference in my overall mood and mental wellbeing.

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2026-05-25*

I have been hoping for a timer for my meditation practice with no ads, no content, and no influencers. Thank you so much for making this app, God bless you.

**Developer response:** Thanks for using Mindful Timer for your practice and for taking the time to share this!

### 5/5 — Love it for meditation

*2026-05-18*

Love that I can set multiple timers, hit start and never have to pick up my phone during a session. Unlike Apple’s timer app, the bells just ring once after each timer and then stop.

Over time, I started using this as my default timer for almost everything.

### 5/5 — Simple AND beautiful

*2026-03-21*

Love the simplicity. Nothing more than what I need. 🙏

### 5/5 — It just works!

*2026-03-02*

There is so much bloat in other apps. All i need is an app that allows multiple timers, and doesn’t continuously alarm when done. Great for meditation, work, exercise, yoga.

**Developer response:** You get it! Thanks for taking the time to share this.

### 5/5 — Simple, calm and effective

*2026-03-01*

It truly is a distraction free timer and SO much better than the other bloated meditation apps today. I really like the sound of the gong—it’s a nice touch!

### 5/5 — Peaceful app to help me stay focused

*2026-03-01*

I’ve been using this for work instead of meditation or yoga, but it has really helped me feel less stressed during the day, instead of the constantly beeping timers I used to have.

**Developer response:** Love it, thanks for sharing!

### 5/5 — Literally use it for everything

*2025-12-28*

Love that I can set multiple timers and just hit start. Unlike Apple’s timer app, the bells just ring once after each timer and then stop. So I don’t have to keep picking up my phone.

### 5/5 — Best interval timer

*2025-12-12*

Simple clean and very easy to use. Finally a timer that lets me set multiple timers so I don’t have to constantly go back to my phone!! Great for yoga, cooking and many other things.

**Developer response:** Appreciate you checking out Mindful Timer!

### 5/5 — Meditation minimalism

*2025-11-25*

I love how clean and simple this app is. It makes meditation more approachable for me. I also find myself using it for productivity too - e.g. doing focused reading at work, using the timer to time block doc reviews etc.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this! Appreciate you checking out Mindful Timer!
