Anukrama is a simple sequence timer for meditation. Most practices are done in silence, with the eyes closed — and most involve more than one activity, each with its own length: a few minutes of breathing, some rounds of chanting, a longer stretch of silent sitting. An ordinary timer sounds a single alarm that is neither brief nor self-stopping, and reaching for the phone to silence it breaks the very stillness you sat down for. Anukrama removes that reach. You build a practice once as an ordered set of steps. At the end of each step it sounds a gentle chime — or stays silent — and moves to the next on its own. Once you begin, you never touch the phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create a practice as a sequence of timed steps • Give each step its own length, in minutes and seconds • Choose a soft end sound per step — bell, chime, gong, or singing bowl • Or leave a step silent, as a quiet pause that still moves on by itself • Have each step's name spoken aloud as it begins, if you wish • Save as many practices as you need, and start one with a single tap • A few starter practices are included to begin with MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Anukrama does one thing. It does not track you, score you, or ask you to return. It keeps working with the screen locked, so your phone can rest in your lap or beside you. To follow your heart rate or other measures, run whichever app you already trust alongside it — Anukrama only guides the practice itself. FREE, AND QUIET BY DESIGN • No subscriptions, no limits, no advertising • No account, no sign-in • No data collected — every practice stays on your device • Available in English, हिन्दी, తెలుగు, and தமிழ் For beginners, and anyone still finding their rhythm. Advanced practitioners need neither a timer nor a counter. May your practice be steady.
