Mindful Timer vs Meditation Aura

A simple meditation timer for your self-guided meditation, restorative/yin yoga, Vipassana or other mindfulness practice. No ads. No subscriptions. No distractions. Just gentle bells to keep time while you practice. Set your session, put your phone down, and let the bells guide you. Set multiple timers for a session — say, 2 minutes to settle, 20 minutes of silent sitting, 5 minutes of metta — and Mindful Timer moves from one to the next with a bell at each transition, plus optional interval bells along the way.
