A meditation timer with nothing in the way. Pick a length, tap Begin, sit. A bowl rings at zero. The timer, your streak, your calendar and Apple Health are free, with no account and no ads. Then, only if you want it: quiettime can see your breath. Prop the phone on the table, close your eyes, and the front camera reads your breathing while you sit. Nothing is recorded or uploaded; the camera runs live and keeps only the numbers. After the bell: breaths per minute, and how long each inhale and exhale ran. At the halfway mark it speaks once, only when your exhale could be longer. The camera stays off until you set it up. Needs an iPhone with Face ID. Three camera sits are free, then Pro, one purchase. Patent pending. Meditation apps bury a simple timer under courses and paywalls. quiettime is the opposite. A day counts at five minutes, so the bar to keep a streak alive is low and honest. Sit longer when you want to; the app never asks for more than that. THE TIMER - Choose minutes on the dial, or tap a preset - A bowl rings at zero.
