Kairos is a quiet place.
No ads. No social feed. No internet connection required. Just you and your practice.
I'm Vincenzo Schimmenti — a certified counselor and MBSR teacher trained through the Brown University lineage. Over the years, I've watched wellness apps grow louder, more distracting, more addictive. Notification badges competing for attention. Subscription paywalls between you and a moment of stillness.
I built Kairos because I believe a mindfulness tool should feel like one.
Kairos is a modular toolbox of practical instruments for meditation, breathing, and presence. Each tool is simple, focused, and built with the same care I bring to my professional practice.
THE TOOLS
MEDITATION BELL
A gentle bell that rings at chosen intervals — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours — to bring you back to the present moment throughout your day. Set an active time window so it rings only when you want it to. Tap the circle anytime for an immediate, mindful pause.
GUIDED BREATHING
Four breathing patterns for different moments:
4-7-8: deep relaxation and sleep preparation
Box Breathing: focus and calm under pressure
Heart Coherence: nervous system balance
Energizing Breath: an intense circular breathing cycle for energy and expanded awareness
Each pattern guides you with an animated circle and optional sine-wave tonal guidance — pure tones that rise and fall with your breath, working even with eyes closed.
MEDITATION TIMER
A clean, distraction-free timer for your sitting practice. Choose your duration, let a bell mark the beginning and end, and simply be. Optional midpoint bell. Session history kept privately on your device.
WHY KAIROS IS DIFFERENT

Optional in-app tip jar via Apple In-App Purchase
Available in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Chinese
Kairos means "the right moment" in ancient Greek — the qualitative time of opportunity and presence, as opposed to the endless, measured flow of ordinary time.
This is your right moment.
SUPPORT
If Kairos is useful to you, you can support it through the optional in-app tip jar — available directly inside the app.

Fixed two Bell-related bugs: chimes now play correctly even when the app is open in the foreground, and the chime schedule stays reliable over time without needing to toggle it off and on.
