## What is Zen Timer?

Zen Timer is a simple meditation timer with no ads, no popups, and nothing extra on the screen. Set your time, sit, and let the singing bowl tell you when you're done.

Spin the zen circle to set your duration. The bowl chimes three times to begin your session, the way sittings open in traditional Zen practice, and one chime ends it.

Meditations are logged with a calendar heatmap and a daily streak, so you can watch your practice build over time. If you'd rather have just the timer, logging can be switched off entirely.

HOW IT WORKS
• Spin the wheel to set your time
• A short preparation countdown lets you settle
• Three bowl strikes open the meditation, one closes it
• Your session is saved to the heatmap automatically

Whether your practice is shamatha, zazen, vipassana, breathwork, or a simple daily mindfulness habit, this minimalist meditation timer stays out of the way and keeps the time.

Zen Timer is free, and supported by the donations of generous meditators
