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.

About

Meditation Interval Timer.

Read full description

A simple meditation interval timer. No accounts. No gamification. Create Routines with interval timers. You can choose the sound that plays at the end of the interval - as well as background noises during sessions - to help guide your practice. You can schedule reoccurring reminders to help structure your meditation habit. There is a 'Tips' section for getting started. THAT'S IT. In my practice, I like to set two 5 minute intervals. In the first 5 minutes, I keep my eyes half open, clear my head and focus on breathing. When the sound goes off, I close my and spend the last 5 minutes focusing on an aspect of my life that needs attention. After that sound, I take a few deep breaths to end my session and continue with the day. I hope this helps you. Simple. Clean. Everything you need for your meditation practice.
