Now Meditation Timer vs ZenTimer

Now is a minimal meditation timer. No accounts, no subscriptions, no tracking — just you and the present moment. Set a timer. Press Begin. Breathe. • A SIMPLE TIMER Choose any duration from 8 to 60 minutes, with one-tap presets at 8, 10, 15, 20, and 30. Adjust by single minutes with a familiar stepper. The timer fades into a calm, immersive screen with a soft breathing glow. • A DAILY HABIT, NOT A STREAK YOU'LL LOSE Set a daily goal — eight minutes is a good place to start. A week strip on the home screen and a month calendar in History show every day you practiced. Build the habit at your own pace. • THREE LOOKS, ONE APP Pick the theme that fits your mood: Clay (warm paper, terracotta), Deep (restful ink, glowing aqua — made for night practice), or Mist (cool, precise, near-monochrome). Switch any time in Settings → Appearance. • APPLE HEALTH, IF YOU WANT IT Sessions save as Mindful Minutes in Apple Health, and mindfulness logged in other apps counts toward your daily goal here. You can skip this entirely — the app works the same. • APPLE WATCH A companion app on your wrist starts, runs, and saves sessions, with a complication for one-tap access. • DESIGNED FOR FOCUS • Newsreader serif for the parts that matter • A breathing glow that respects Reduce Motion • Full Dynamic Type support • VoiceOver labels on every control • YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your sessions live on your device (and Apple Health if you opt in). No analytics. No advertising SDKs. No accounts to make. No subscription to remember to cancel. — Built with care by an indie developer. If something feels off, tell me, and I'll fix it.

Taking a moment to close your eyes in the midst of a busy day. Meditation provides a valuable space to clear an information-overloaded mind and regain inner peace. ZenTimer is an incredibly simple meditation app designed to seamlessly integrate that quiet time into your daily life. Start by setting a target time, but there is no pressure to strictly stick to it. Finish early if you are satisfied, or keep going if it feels right. Meditating in pure silence is meaningful enough on its own. However, on days when it feels "too noisy in your head," try turning on the ambient sound. We provide a unique meditation soundscape centered on the 528Hz Solfeggio frequency, fusing singing bowl harmonics, ambient drones, and the breath of nature. Blending scientifically-guided Theta wave induction with traditional harmonic therapy, it is more than just background music—it is a "space" to align your consciousness. Distractions fade away with the sound’s fade-in, and a pleasant silence settles into your body with the fade-out. ■ Sound Features ・528Hz Solfeggio Frequency (including harmonic series) ・Tibetan Bowl Harmonics (1 / 2.756 / 5.404 ratio) ・Space Ambient Pad (Am harmonic chord structure) ・Binaural Beats θ wave 6Hz (when using headphones) ・Brown Noise ambient style Find your calm, starting from just one minute a day. Change the quality of your day with quiet time spent simply counting.
