Read full description

Awakhuma is a free meditation timer for silent, unguided meditation — alone or as a group. Join a live group meditation four times a day, set a simple meditation timer with a soft bell, or create a private meditation circle for your sangha, yoga class, team or family. Awakhuma is a meditation app built around one idea: silence feels different when it is shared. Four times a day — at 5:45, 11:45, 17:45 and 23:45 UTC, shown in your local time — a global session opens for eleven minutes. No guide, no music, no instructions. You arrive, you see who else is there, and you sit together. You can also meditate alone, anytime: choose 3 to 90 minutes, set an intention if you wish, add a dedication, and sit. A soft gong opens and closes the silence. PRIVATE CIRCLES (new) Teachers, sanghas, yoga studios, teams and families can create their own circle: choose the days, the time and the duration, share a link, and sit together wherever you are. Members join for free and get a reminder five minutes before. Hosting a circle is a subscription. YOUR JOURNEY Time in silence, days of practice, a calendar with your reflections, and gentle acknowledgements along the way. No rankings, no comparison, no guilt. FREE, FOR REAL Solo silence and global sessions are free, with no ads. A monthly or one-time contribution is possible for those who want to keep the space alive; it changes nothing in what you receive. Sign in is optional and password-free (a code by email, or Sign in with Apple). Available in English, French and Spanish. Subscriptions (circle host, monthly support) renew automatically until cancelled in your store account settings. Terms: https://awakhuma.app/terms — Privacy: https://awakhuma.app/privacy
