Stillness Timer vs Presence Bell Meditation Timer

Stillness Timer is a quiet meditation timer for unguided practice. It gives you structure without noise: no ads, no tracking, no subscriptions, and no account required. Build the session you actually practice. Create simple or multi-phase meditation sessions with custom intervals, chimes, sounds, and haptics. Give each interval its own chime sound so you always know which phase just ended. Use Stillness for mindfulness meditation, autogenic training, breathwork, body scans, silent contemplation, or any practice that benefits from timed silence. Return to presence during the day. Scheduled reminders help you keep a daily rhythm. Spontaneous reminders arrive at unexpected moments during your active hours, gently interrupting autopilot and inviting you back to awareness. You can also keep spontaneous reminders away from scheduled sessions with a 10, 20, or 30 minute buffer. Keep your rhythm across time zones. Scheduled reminders can follow local time or stay tied to a specific time zone. The active hours for spontaneous reminders work the same way: keep them on local time, or keep them anchored to your home time zone while you settle into a new place. Track progress privately. See your completed sessions, streaks, milestones, total minutes, and favorite practices. Your data stays on your device. Optional Apple Health integration can write completed sessions as Mindful Minutes when you choose to enable it. Move to a new device privately. Device Migration lets you back up sessions, statistics, reminders, and settings to your private iCloud container, restore them on a new device, and clear the transfer data when you are done. No accounts. No external servers. Stillness is for people who want meditation to stay simple: a timer, gentle cues, useful reminders, private progress, and space to practice.

Presence Bell is a calm, unguided meditation timer for iPhone and iPad. Choose how long to sit, add gentle interval bells, and practice in your own way. No ads. No account. No tracking. Made by an indie developer with a psychology background, as a thoughtful tool built with genuine care for your practice. YOUR PRACTICE STAYS YOURS Your meditation data is personal, so it stays on your device. No account required. No behavior tracking. No dark patterns. ANCHOR YOUR PRACTICE Set your session length and interval bells, with a different sound for the start, the intervals, and the finish. Choose from four bells: Temple Bell, Singing Bowl, Soft Chime, and Crystal Bell. Or keep it silent. INTERVAL BELLS Gentle bells at the interval you choose bring you back to the present. They're perfect for longer sits or a wandering mind. The timer ring is split at each bell, so you always know where you are in your session. CURATE YOUR SOUNDSCAPE Layer your bells with five ambient recordings, or sit in silence: • Gentle Rain • Heavy Rain • Ocean Waves • Forest • Fireplace PRESETS Save your favorite setups: a morning sit, an evening wind-down, a quick breathing break.
