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.

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.
