About

Koan Meditation Timer

Features
Read full description

The Koan Simple Meditation Timer is built so you can sit down and meditate without distraction. It features three real sounds of bells and bowls and a flexible scheduler. You can create a simple session with a bell to start and a bell to finish after 10 minutes. You can just as easily make a complicated bell setup like 30 minutes of sitting meditation followed by 10 minutes of walking mediation. The simplicity is purposeful here. There is no account to create, no data saved, no push notifications of premium subscriptions to shill. We both know you don't need that. Just meditate more and the world will be a better place for it.

No subscriptions. No advertisements. No banners, and no notifications distracting you away from what matters. Meditation timers used to be simple, just like the practice they support. Somewhere along the way, wellness became something to sell, and the path to peace was stripped of a foundational teaching: simplicity throughout life as a way to build stillness and centeredness in the mind. Still Flowing Timer returns to that. Set a duration. Choose a bell to open and close your sit — singing bowls, gongs, or a clear chime. Mark the time with interval bells. Save the sessions you return to. If you are still using this app in 21 days, choose whether or not to continue for a one time payment of $4.99. Let's get back to simplicity, starting with a straightforward meditation timer.
