## What is Preset Meditation Timer?

Preset Meditation Timer is a completely free meditation timer with no ads.  
It plays gentle bell sounds recorded in a Buddhist temple in Japan, or vibration, to mark the beginning and end of your session.

You can save multiple timer presets with custom names, and choose a short delay before the timer starts to give yourself time to settle your posture.

Even when your device is in silent mode, the bell will still ring—allowing you to meditate without worrying about incoming call or message alerts.  
For the best experience, enabling “Do Not Disturb” during meditation is recommended.

Although the app is designed for meditation practice, it is also suitable for zazen, yoga, and other mindful activities.

May all beings be happy and live in peace.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you want

*2020-11-02*

I have used this meditation timer app for years. It has no fancy, distracting features that you don’t need. It simply times your meditation with a lovely opening and closing bell sound that is allowed to naturally fade. I love this app.

### 5/5 — No frills timer

*2020-01-10, version 2.2.0*

Perfect minimalist meditation timer

### 5/5 — I wanted a timer to help start meditating

*2016-05-24*

This is a good, basic timer with a bell at the start of, and finish of your practice period. You can choose between one of two bells. Practice periods come with three presets for walking, sitting and standing meditation, time period easily edited and custom use presets can easily be created. Well done. Deep gassho to the developer..

### 4/5 — Great but for one thing

*2016-02-26*

I really enjoy this app for my daily meditation and wouldn't change anything other than adding an option not to have a starting bell.

### 5/5 — Great meditation timer

*2015-12-24*

I use this app every day.  It is really easy to use, simple, well thought out design and even has customizable times. Thanks developer!

### 5/5 — Stapled in my phone

*2015-04-28*

Small. Simple. Easy to use. Add your own presets. Rename the defaults. Excellent!! 10stars!!!

### 4/5 — Very good

*2014-02-02*

I love the bell sounds and the simplicity; works great. I'll give 5 stars if interval chimes are added.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2014-01-25*

I went through several other apps that had too many features and bugs before I found this one. No interval timers (that go off mysteriously for no reason), no facebook posts, no logging in. Just a simple timer for your daily meditation practice.

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2014-01-06*

Well designed timer app

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2013-08-26*

The screen shots for this app describe its function fully. There are 2 bells and you can create preset timers with different durations. This app does exactly what I expected. 5 stars.
