Meditation Tracker vs Roundbell

Silent meditation timer and practice log for people who already meditate. Pick a technique, sit in quiet, and keep an honest record of every session — no guided audio, no content library to scroll, no voice interrupting your sit. MedLevels treats meditation as a practice, not a playlist. Choose Mindfulness, Breath Focus, Body Scan, Loving-Kindness, Visualisation, or Mantra, set 5 to 45 minutes, and begin. Short written prompts pace the sit on screen, and a quiet alert marks the end even when the screen is off. When you finish, the minutes you actually sat — not the target — go straight into your journal. WHAT YOU GET • A streak that survives a hectic week — sessions logged by hand still count, so a sit on a park bench is never lost • Six techniques on one timer, so Tuesday's body scan and Sunday's loving-kindness land in the same history • A reflection attached to every sit — "restless until minute eight" is worth more than the number alone • A 14-day chart of your real rhythm: which days you sit, for how long, and which technique keeps coming back • An end-of-session alert that fires on time with the screen dark, so you never crack an eye open to check • Honest early endings — stop at minute 7 of a 20-minute sit and the log says 7, not 20 PERFECT FOR • Meditators who left guided apps behind and just need a timer that remembers • Zazen sitters who want an unadorned clock and a place for field notes • Anyone rebuilding a lapsed daily practice around a visible streak • Journal keepers who want reflections attached to sessions, not scattered across a notes app WHY NOT JUST THE CLOCK APP? A kitchen timer ends a sit; it does not remember it. MedLevels keeps the technique, the true minutes, the reflection, and the streak — so after a month you can see your practice instead of guessing at it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your journal never leaves your device. No account, no server, and your reflections are not analysed or uploaded. Delete an entry and it is gone. FULL ACCESS MedLevels requires a purchase: a Weekly or Yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. Full access covers all six techniques, every session length from 5 to 45 minutes, the complete journal archive, and streak, totals, and 14-day insights. Prices are shown in the app before any purchase, and billing is handled by the App Store. Sit today, write one honest line about it, and let the streak start at 1.

Roundbell is a timer for people who hold a room. It was built for men's circles, and it suits anything run on shared time: sharing rounds, meditation sittings, workshops, supervision groups. Set the length, choose where the bells fall, and put the phone down. THE BELLS Two recorded Tibetan singing bowls, one deeper and one lit. Pick which one opens the session and which one closes it. Tap either bowl to hear it before you commit. Or open in silence. A facilitator has usually just finished speaking, and a gong across that is the last thing the room needs, so starting without one is a single tap. BELLS ALONG THE WAY Place bells inside the session without watching the clock: • Midpoint: one bell at the halfway mark • 20 seconds to end: a gentle warning before time is up • By participants: enter how many people are in the circle and the session divides evenly between them, with a bell at each handover • Any moment you choose: type it in, and the bell lands there Bells hold what you asked for, not a number of seconds. Change the length of the session and the midpoint is still the midpoint. SETTING THE TIME Tap the clock and type a duration. Press and hold plus or minus to run through the minutes. Or take one of six lengths facilitators actually use. SAVED SETUPS Build a session once and save it under a name: check-in, focus, closing round. Load it with a tap. Mark one and the app opens on it every time. WHILE IT RUNS • The bells ring even when the phone is on silent. The bell is the point • The screen stays awake, so the time is always visible • The clock keeps correct time even if the phone locks mid-session • Add time without stopping, for a round that was interrupted • Restart from the timer screen, not from the settings • Turn the phone on its side for a clock the far side of the circle can read • When the session ends, one button rings the closing bowl again, for as long as the circle needs LIGHT AND DARK A dark theme for a dim room, a light one for daylight, or follow the phone and let it change at dusk on its own. QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. Roundbell collects nothing at all. Your settings never leave your device. It works offline. Free, with no purchases inside. Made with love for the community, by Daniel Lerner, men's circle facilitator.
