Rings is a timer, a journal and a tracker for people who meditate on their own. No audio guides, no feed, no account — a bell, silence and an honest record of your time. Every session is a ring Instead of bar charts, Rings draws a tree slice. You sat for twenty minutes — a new growth ring appears. The longer the session, the thicker the ring; morning sessions are paler, evening sessions denser; today's ring is red. A week is a twig, a month is a slice, a year is a trunk — something you want to keep growing. Timer • Presets from 5 to 30 minutes, a custom duration up to 3 hours, or an open-ended session • A warm-up before the start, a bell at the start and the end, interval bells • Works with the screen locked; a pause leaves a visible mark on the ring • Save your own presets Journal • A note, a technique tag and how you felt before and after — shown as a line, not a number • Search, filters by tag and period, manual entries for sessions without the app • Export to CSV Rings • The slice for the month, the year and all time; tap a ring to open its entry • Totals, averages, streaks with one rest day a week so a single miss does not break it • Share your slice as a picture for your feed or stories Lessons • The Basics course: ten short chapters — posture, breath, the wandering mind, body scan, metta, habit • Each lesson ends with a "Practise" button that starts the timer with the right settings Also • Apple Health: mindful minutes are written after each session, with your consent • Gentle reminders: a daily one at your time and an evening one if you have not sat today • iCloud sync across your devices; your data never leaves your Apple account • Light and dark "paper and ink" themes Rings Pro unlocks all sounds and interval bells, presets, the year and all-time slices, sharing, full statistics with tags and search, all ten lessons and CSV export. Free users keep a fully working timer and journal. Rings is a tool for habit and practice, not a medical product.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 16 at every 5 days against Rings's every 3 weeks. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
