Now Meditation Timer vs Practice

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.

A meditation timer should be the one thing you do not have to check. Practice is a quiet, reliable meditation timer for people who prefer to meditate on their own. Choose a familiar duration or build a multi-stage preset, select starting and ending sounds, silence or ambience – and put your phone down. The active timer is saved on your iPhone, keeps accurate time while the app is in the background, and restores the exact state when you return. Pauses and interruptions are not counted as meditation. For extra reassurance, you can enable a system alarm as a backup shortly after the practice ends. Practice stays out of the way while you sit. Dim the screen with one tap, or control the timer from Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the Lock Screen. When you finish, see the time you actually meditated. A simple calendar and clear statistics show your total time, average practice length, completed practices, and days meditated – to notice a habit forming, without pressure or competition. HIGHLIGHTS • Unlimited custom presets with multiple timed stages • Four distinct bowl and gong sounds • Silent meditation and optional ambience sound • Background timing and accurate recovery • Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and Lock Screen controls • Progress calendar and practice statistics • iCloud sync, data export, and restore No separate account is required. Your data is stored locally and, when sync is enabled, in your private iCloud. We do not keep a separate copy of your meditation history or use third-party analytics SDKs. No courses. No feed. Just a dependable place to meditate on your own.
