Mindful Tracker — Meditation Timer & Mindful Minutes Mindful Tracker is your clean, distraction-free meditation timer — designed for unguided mindfulness, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Customisable timers, Apple Health sync, Live Activity on your Lock Screen, and a fully featured Apple Watch app. No subscriptions. No guided audio. Just sit, breathe, and be. ** Live Activity — your session, always visible ** Your meditation timer now appears right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. See elapsed time at a glance in open-ended mode, know exactly how long remains in timed sessions, and never worry about forgetting to end a stopwatch session — your active meditation is always one look away. ** Flexible session controls ** Choose from preset durations (1–60 minutes), set a custom time, or use open-ended "Time Me" mode for sessions without a limit. Pause, resume, or restart without losing progress — your session continues if you lock your phone or switch apps. ** Syncs to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes ** Every completed meditation is automatically saved to Apple Health — building a consistent daily mindfulness record without any extra steps. ** Private session history ** Review past meditations at a glance — dates, durations, and cumulative totals — so you can track streaks, stay motivated, and build a lasting habit. ** Apple Watch app included ** Start, pause, and complete sessions from your wrist. Custom durations and Health syncing work independently, even without your phone nearby. ** Mindful endings ** A soothing bowl chime and gentle haptics (on Apple Watch) mark the end of each session. Silence it instantly if needed. ** Calm, focused design ** A peaceful gradient interface with rounded typography and intuitive layout — no clutter, no distractions, just the ideal space for stillness. Mindful Tracker is built for people who want the freedom to meditate their own way — without subscriptions, guided audio, or complicated features. Download free and start your practice today.
Mowditate

Unwind on your own terms. Mowditate gives you a quiet, focused space where you decide how, when, and with what you meditate. It’s designed to get you into a session with as few taps as possible — whether you want a simple timer, a breathing exercise, or a guided meditation. Mowditate is built in layers. Use only the parts that are useful to you and leave the rest untouched. Statistics, streaks, badges, exercises, guided content, and Mowditate+ are there when you want them, but they never need to become part of your meditation routine. If all you want is a timer, Mowditate can simply be a timer. The layers you don’t use simply stay out of your way. • Set a fixed duration or meditate without a time limit. Add interval gongs, choose a background, and adjust your session the way you like it. • Use breathing and grounding exercises when you want something a little more active, including Box Breathing, Resonant Breathing, and 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding. • Meditate in silence, use your own audio files, or listen with Apple Music. • Use Mowditate on Apple Watch to meditate, track your sessions, or start breathing and grounding exercises right from your wrist. • Follow an active meditation from the Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, or Apple Watch with Live Activities. • Save your mindful minutes to Apple Health and see your meditation history, streaks, and statistics whenever you’re interested in your progress. • Unlock badges as you explore Mowditate. They’re designed as small extras rather than goals you have to chase — ignore them completely if that’s more your style. • Learn more about meditation and mindfulness in the Meditation Knowledge section. • No account required. No tracking. MOWDITATE+ Mowditate+ adds another optional layer with guided meditations, relaxation techniques, and courses with adjustable session lengths. It doesn’t change the core timer experience — use guided content when you want it, and return to a simple meditation timer whenever you don’t. Included guided content: • Body Scan • Autogenic Training • Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation • Metta • Chakra Meditation • Tonglen • Interconnectedness • 7-day course: Meditation Basics • Seasonal Rauhnächte course, available from December 25 to January 6 Guided content for Mowditate+ is currently available in English and German. Whether you want five quiet minutes, a breathing exercise, a longer guided meditation, or simply a timer that stays out of your way, Mowditate lets you choose what fits right now.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mindful Tracker at none against Mowditate's 5. Mowditate's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
