Kantan
Read full descriptionHide full description
To practice and benefit from meditation you don’t need to consume loads of mindfulness content. On the contrary, you need less of it and more of actual meditation. Just sit with your back straight, focus on breathing, observe your mind and keep track of your progress – consistently. Kantan will assist you in just that. Created by a long-time meditation practitioner for other meditators, it’s a refined meditation tracker designed with a “less is more” approach. This is not yet another mindfulness marketplace, but a tool to support your practice in a gentle and steady way: • Clean, minimalistic timer • A user account to track meditation history • 5-120 min time options • Interval sounds • Works offline and in the background • Gong sound courtesy of Choufuku-ji temple in Japan (長福寺) More features and updates are coming very soon. Meanwhile, feel free to send your questions and feedback to hi@kantanapp.com.
