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

A boxing round timer that just works. Set your rounds, hit start, train to the bell โ€” even with the screen locked. No account, no ads, nothing tracked. Rounds is a boxing-style interval timer, stripped to what matters: set it, start it, train to the bell. Dial in your round count, round length and rest, then hit Start. A short countdown gives you a moment to get in stance, then a bell rings at the start and end of every round, with a wooden clap ten seconds before each bell โ€” so you always know when to dig in for the finish. The whole screen washes between the work and rest colours, readable from across the gym. FEATURES - Rounds, round length and rest: set your own, or tap a preset like Full Card (12 x 3:00). - Non-Stop mode for continuous rounds with no fixed end. - The bell keeps ringing with your phone locked or in your pocket โ€” the timer runs in the background. - A 5-second "get ready" countdown before the first bell, and a 10-second clap before every bell after that. - Silent Workout mode โ€” vibration only, no bell or clap, for a quiet room or a crowded gym. - Vibration on every cue, so you feel the round change even when it's loud. - Plays over your music, dipping it just for the moment a bell or clap sounds โ€” never for the whole round. - A phone call pauses the workout automatically; resume whenever you're back. - Light and dark, following your system setting. - Large, glanceable countdown and a round tally. PRIVACY No account. No ads. No analytics. Nothing you enter leaves your phone โ€” your last setup is remembered on the device and that's it. Built for boxing, but it works for kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, circuit training, HIIT and Tabata โ€” anything that runs on rounds.
