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 !

really good but more settings would be nice

like for example making the phone vibrate after the timer is up, i noticed that if i have my phone locked it just doesn’t give any feedback when the timer is up, and the bell only rings when the app is open and the screen is unlocked. also it would be greatly appreciated if there was an apple watch app so i wouldn’t have to use my phone, also prefer light vibration when timer ends on the watch, otherwise this app is perfect and there is no bloat and nothing unnecessary included

Fine but no standby

Good design but no sound with screen off.
So thanks for nothing.

It is perfect

I was looking for a very simple timer for meditation. Until now I have simply been using the timer in the iOS clock app, but I wanted a more beautiful sound for the end of my meditation. This app does exactly what I was looking for and nothing else. Thank you!

App para Apple Watch

😔😔😔

Does one thing and does it right

This is my kind of app. It does one thing only: a timer that records Mindfulness minutes in Apple Health. No options no ads no graphics. Hopefully no feature roadmap or growth hacking monetization strategy. Works perfectly for me and I hope it never changes.

Apple Apps Problematic

Well, like so many Apple apps, there are always more problems than they’re worth. Despite setting this up to record sessions with Apple’s Health function, it doesn’t. I can’t say what the problem is but Apple has so many restrictions with how we can do things as well as how apps can function on their phones that this problem is not unique to this app. So it most likely has more to do with Apple than the app itself. Apples so called walled in garden has become a high security electric fenced in prison yard guarded by armed militia over the past 15 years. This will most likely be my last Apple phone if not product altogether. The limitations are just not worth the cost. I need technology that “just works”. Not toys that serve as front doors to subscription services. I sure do miss the Apple of two decades ago.

Volume is too loud for headphones

I would give this app 5 stars if it had an option to change the volume. I often meditate while wearing headphones to minimize distractions in my noisy home. The chime/bell is VERY loud and VERY jarring. and there’s no way to change it. No volume setting anywhere, and it’s not responsive to changes to my iPhone’s volume. Even if I wasn’t wearing headphones, I’m guessing it would be too jarring for me (I like my meditation chimes to be set at around 30-35%, and I’m guessing that this one’s probably set to maybe 80-85%), so I’m back out looking for another simple meditation timer. Aside from this deal-breaker, I absolutely love it.

No-nonsense meditation app

This is exactly the meditation app I was looking for. I wanted a replacement to the Apple Watch Mindfulness Breathe/Reflect app since it drains battery needlessly with taptics, limited to 5 minutes max, and had to be on during the session. This app fits just right: simple, elegant, not bloated with features and updates mindful minutes in the Health app.

Great! Even better if …

Great App!! I only wish I could set the number of bells - at the beginning and in the end: between 0 and 3. Would make it a great Timer for Zen Meditation.

Simple

Love it. Plain and simple. Nobody trying to sell me meditation courses, just a simple timer, exactly what I want.

Health app?

Health app integration?

No ads or anything: simply perfect.

Probably my favorite app. No ads, no sign up, no accounts of any kind; no “Upgrade to Premium!” or any of that nonsense.

Its simplicity is beautiful, and actually motivates me to work on mindfulness daily.

Bravo.

The best!

I am so glad I found this timer! I’ve been searching for a simple timer without all of the bells and whistles and distractions. This is it! AND, it has the most beautiful gong sound. Just perfect!

Super App

Die App ist wirklich toll und ich nutze sie täglich. Ohne Ablenkung, ohne Schnickschnack und v. a. sammelt sie keine Daten oder will einem etwas verkaufen. Eine zusätzliche Version für die Apple Watch wäre toll, damit man die App auch nutzen kann, wenn man das Handy nicht dabei hat oder die Nutzung unpassend wäre, z. B. beim stillen Gebet in der Kirche.

The best meditation timer there is

This is simple, effective and won’t pretend to be something it ain’t, unlike most of the other ‘meditation’ timers out there, which are just platforms to sell more distractions!
