Stillmere is a meditation timer and nothing more. Choose how long to sit, begin, and a bell tells you when you're done. No guided sessions, no streaks, no account, no ads. SIMPLE TO START • Set from 1 to 60 minutes with a tap, or turn the Digital Crown on Apple Watch. Then begin. • Start with Siri: "Meditate for 10 minutes with Stillmere." BELLS YOU CHOOSE • 15 sounds across singing bowls, bells, temple gongs, wood and cymbals. • Separate beginning, interval and ending bells, how many times each strikes, and bell volume. • Interval bells mark the time along the way, every few minutes. OPTIONAL SOUNDSCAPES • Blend lake, stream, ocean, rain, wind, reeds, a low fire and a deep hush into one mix. • The mix sways gently like weather, settles as you sit, and fades away just before the ending bell. APPLE WATCH, WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR IPHONE • The Watch app runs on its own, so you can leave your phone in another room. • A soft tap on your wrist marks each interval; a firm one marks the end. • Add it to your watch face to open Stillmere with your last length ready. WHILE YOU SIT • Your phone can stay locked. Time remaining shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and you can end from there. • The ending bell still rings after an alarm or call interrupts. STILLMERE PLUS (OPTIONAL, ONE PURCHASE) • Seven more themes, each with a quiet moving scene, on iPhone and Apple Watch • Matching app icons • Endless mode on iPhone: no countdown, only your interval bells, until you choose to end • Save up to three sits and begin one from Settings or Shortcuts • No subscription, shared with family PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Optionally save completed sits to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. • Stillmere collects no data. The only connection it makes is to the App Store, if you choose to buy Plus.
