Best meditation app but missing the key timer feature
This app has nearly everything I was looking for:
1. Logs mindfulness minutes to Apple Health
2. Monitors heart rate
3. Monitors HRV too!
4. Monitors movements
5. Automatically turns on “do not disturb” during use
6. Live feedback
7. Stats and time-series graphs
The only thing missing, and this is a big one, is a timer alert. I often like to meditate for X minutes. I can’t do that with the app. My workaround is to start Apple Timer first, then jump back to this app. It would be nice if I don’t have to switch app.

Thanks for your feedback. We will look at adding an option for a set period of meditation to a future release. For context, the intent of no timer is due to usage in an actual Zendō where the timer is controlled by the Doan.
Simple
Your app is uncomplicated and straight forward. It focuses on HRV and gives simple guidance to to measure, record, and improve. I’m experimenting with it to see if I can see a difference in my HRV when I listen different entrainment recordings while meditation to your app. It would be nice if there were a way to add comments to a particular recorded activity. Loved the breathing guidance.

Thanks for using the app and the feedback!
It used to be good
I was appalled by this app forcing you to give it full access to write on your Heath app. If you don’t, the app crashes on your watch and fails to work. This change occurred after an update. It’s been months without a fix. I finally deleted it.

we are sorry. we were trying to ask for a new permission in that release -- and messed it up some people. we just touched up those lines of code. maybe try again? be well.
Brilliant but Flawed
I was delighted to find this program that measures HRV whilst meditating but found that it also records exercise minutes during the most passive of all exercises. The result is that “real” exercise minutes are now rendered inconsequential. Please fix this chaps.
Response from developer
We managed to *finally* solve this issue in the latest release.
Haven’t been able to use it
I loved using this, but since the last update I can’t open it on my watch
