The simple minimalist app for Watch

Deeply thankful for this, keeping it without subscription. Zero frills.

Logs mindfulness minutes, just what I needed.

The icon is also cute, just looking at it on my watch gets me in the zone :-)

All I need

It’s surprisingly hard to find an app that will just let me start a timer from my watch and log it with Health Kit. This app is just that, nothing more, and for that it is perfect.

Perfect

Perfect app

Close to Perfect

This is an excellent app, I really respect and am deeply grateful for the work that went into releasing this entirely free. It’s meditatively basic, distraction-free, just a timer and heart rate + mindfulness minutes tracking, which is everything I want, plus the icons are good-looking too. The one thing that would make this perfect for me is if I were able to set an open goal instead of being forced to pick a time limit, so I could utilize the tracking without limiting or planning how my meditation sessions will go.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! The newest update v1.1.4 includes the option to have an open ended meditation session. So you can start it without selecting a duration and stop it whenever you feel 🥳

Perfect and Free?!

I had to leave a review because I’m so grateful for this app, and I feel blessed because it was free.

After I figured out that I needed to download the app directly from my Apple Watch, I was able to immediately start using it. The times are in increments of five, so I just set the time for a little longer than my planned session, and end it manually when I finish.

I love that it monitors & reports my heart rate and meditation time to both the Apple Heath & Fitness apps.

Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏾
