Need a meditation timer that stays out of your way? Quiet is a mindfulness bell timer I built for my own practice - no guided sessions, no distractions. Just a simple timer that lets you sit with your thoughts. I wanted something minimal: set your timer, breathe, and let gentle bells mark the beginning and end. That's it. What's included: - Customizable timer with start/end bells - Optional ambient sounds (rain, waves, forest) - Interval bells to help you stay present - Session history synced via iCloud - Apple Health integration - Stats tracking (streaks, total time) - No ads, no tracking, no data collection Quiet is designed for people who just want to meditate without a lot of extra stuff. Everything stays private on your device. Your practice is yours alone. I made this app because I needed it. If you're looking for a straightforward mindfulness bell timer, maybe it'll work for you too.
