About

Ochre

Features
Read full description

Ochre is a super simple meditation timer that integrates with Apple Health. I built Ochre because none of the other meditation timers I've found on the App Store do what I want: to keep track of my mindful minutes without unnecessary bells and whistles, and without having to create yet another account. If that sounds like something you need, then I hope this app will be useful to you. If you find that Ochre doesn't fulfill your needs, or it doesn't work the way you would expect, then please, by all means, leave a review, or reach out to me. I really value your feedback.
