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.
