Nano Buddha
Meditation timer with no clock
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Sit without watching the time. Choose how long you sit once; a singing bowl tells you when the time has passed, and each sit grows a little longer.
Nano Buddha is a meditation timer for people who check the clock. The sit screen shows no time at all. A singing bowl tells you when your time has passed, and you sit on until you are ready to end.
HOW IT WORKS
• Choose how long you sit the first time. After that, nudge it by a minute if you want.
• Tap Begin and put your phone down. After 30 seconds of silence, the bowl rings to open your sit.
• The bowl rings again when your time has passed. Sit on, or tap End when you are ready.
• The exact time changes a little each sit, up to a minute either way, so you cannot count it.
• Each sit you complete makes the next one 15 seconds longer. Your practice grows slowly, without effort.
ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
• iPhone and iPad, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Apple Watch: a gentle tap on the wrist for each bell, with the bowl sound if you want it. Complications and a Smart Stack widget.
• Apple TV: sit in front of a slowly turning galaxy.
• Mac: a window and desktop widgets.
• Your sits stay the same on all your devices through iCloud.
