About

Moss

Read full description

Moss is a silent meditation timer with a gentle sense of rhythm. Choose how long to sit, begin, and be left alone. When time is up, a soft sound brings you back — never an alarm. Moss isn't guided meditations or a content library. It's the calm structure around your own practice. MEDITATE, UNDISTURBED • Choose a duration and begin in seconds. • Sessions stay completely silent — no music, no voice, no interruptions. • A soft, brief completion sound ends the session gently. FIND YOUR RHYTHM • Set a practice cadence that fits your life. • Gentle reminders invite you to sit — they never nag. • Begin a session straight from a reminder. SEE YOUR PRACTICE TAKE SHAPE • Follow your sessions and consistency over time. • Progress that encourages rather than pressures — a missed day is just a day. Quiet by default. Nothing to browse, nothing to manage. Open Moss, sit, and return gently.
