Simetim Meditation Timer vs Kantan

Simetim is a simple and easy-to-use meditation timer and tracker. In the free version, you get timers with bells, a progress bar, and a counter to keep track of your sessions. The paid version offers more. You can track your progress, set reminders, and choose from more themes, pictures, and sounds. It's designed to help you with your meditation journey, no matter your experience level. The app's main color theme is soft and low-contrast, perfect for meditating in low light. Simetim is here to support your meditation and mindfulness practice. As Alan Watts once said, it helps you 'quieten your mind and come to your senses.' We always want to make Simetim better, so we'd love to hear from you.

To practice and benefit from meditation you don’t need to consume loads of mindfulness content. On the contrary, you need less of it and more of actual meditation. Just sit with your back straight, focus on breathing, observe your mind and keep track of your progress – consistently. Kantan will assist you in just that. Created by a long-time meditation practitioner for other meditators, it’s a refined meditation tracker designed with a “less is more” approach. This is not yet another mindfulness marketplace, but a tool to support your practice in a gentle and steady way: • Clean, minimalistic timer • A user account to track meditation history • 5-120 min time options • Interval sounds • Works offline and in the background • Gong sound courtesy of Choufuku-ji temple in Japan (長福寺) More features and updates are coming very soon.
