Sitting Time vs Mindful Timer

Sitting Time is a simple app to aid you in your dedicated sitting meditation. It does one thing - timing your sitting whilst getting out of your way doing so. Features: - Start, pause and stop your timer (1-60 minutes) - Add a delay while you get your sitting position set up (1-60 seconds; double tap on the labels at the bottom to show/hide this option) - Dim the screen to avoid distraction whilst counting down - Gongs continue to play even if the device is locked - Light and Dark mode support I hope it helps you in your sitting practice.

A simple meditation timer for your self-guided meditation, restorative/yin yoga, Vipassana or other mindfulness practice. No ads. No subscriptions. No distractions. Just gentle bells to keep time while you practice. Set your session, put your phone down, and let the bells guide you. Set multiple timers for a session — say, 2 minutes to settle, 20 minutes of silent sitting, 5 minutes of metta — and Mindful Timer moves from one to the next with a bell at each transition, plus optional interval bells along the way.
