Bell doesn’t work

Great app but bell doesn’t always work as others have mentioned

Perfect!

As an energy healer and mindfulness instructor, this is all I need for my personal practice as well as for my work! Thank you!

Just The Thing

After using Headspace for years and suffering through its increasing bloat and busyness, I realized all I wanted was a simple timer with a gentle bell. I tried a few other apps but they were full of pop-up suggestions and upsells. And then I found this sweet app. It couldn’t be closer to my wishes if I’d written it myself. Thank you.

Simply does not work

Set the timer and it will count down but it does not actually play any sound when the time is up. Maybe you need to keep it as the active, open app in order for it to work, however that is not practical unless you set your device screen to never go to sleep/lock.

Simple but perfect

It’s a simple but effective timer for meditation which does exactly what I want from such a thing, and unlike almost every other timer I’ve tried, it doesn’t try to sell you anything else or insist on sending you notifications etc! A big thank you to the developer !
