Close your eyes. The bell comes and gets you. No ads, no account, and it rings with no internet. One dial does everything. Turn it to set the length, and the interval bells appear as marks around the ring. While you sit, those marks go by one at a time. You see the shape of the session before it starts. Then the app gets out of the way. With the screen dark the opening, interval, and closing bells still ring on time, and the same dial waits on your Lock Screen. ● Bell marks on the dial — how many will ring, and when, before you begin ● Lock Screen widgets (circular, rectangular, inline), Live Activity, Dynamic Island ● Bells ring with the screen off and with the silent switch flipped ● Bells are synthesized on the device as they ring — the app ships no audio files ● No streaks, no grid, no badges. Empty days stay empty ● No notifications. Nothing here nudges you to sit ● No ads, no account, no server — it works with no internet Free - Any length from 1 to 180 minutes - All four sounds: singing bowl, chime, wood block, silent - The five-minute interval bell - Every Lock Screen widget and the Live Activity - The last 30 days of history, backed up to your own iCloud Premium (subscription) - Set the opening and closing bells separately - Choose your own interval spacing - Warm-up and fade, to the second - Full history beyond 30 days, and CSV export - Shadowless background Subscription terms: Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription.
