The Mindful Timer vs Mowditate

Mindful timer is a free and open source interval timer for stretching, meditating, yin yoga, and other occasions where you want a simple timer with no ads, distractions, or other nonsense getting in your way.

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.
