stilltime is a singing bowl and a timer. Not only for meditation — for focus, for breathing, for any few quiet minutes. Tap the bowl and it rings. Drag your finger around the rim to keep it singing; press and hold to quiet it. It sounds like a real bowl and, on your phone, feels like one — every strike and every turn of the rim has its own haptic. Set a length and the timer runs. Add a moment to settle in first, and interval bells along the way if you want them. When the time is up, the bowl sounds again. Every session is kept — in a calm record inside the app, and in Apple Health as mindful minutes. You'll see your streak and the time you've sat, laid out plainly. No badges, nothing that nags you to come back. Free, always. The timer, the house bowl, and the whole record cost nothing. THE RESONANCE COLLECTION A one-time unlock: four more bowls, each a real recorded instrument with its own voice, their matching app icons, and a mood layer on your record. DEEP FOCUS Quiet the apps that pull at you for the length of a session. Open one out of habit and the bowl rings to bring you back. Optional; requires iOS 26.5 or later — everything else works on iOS 17 and up. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your sessions sync privately through your own iCloud — nothing reaches us.
