Human Being: Meditation Bells
Mindful Timer & Zen Bells
Free
Human Being: Meditation Bells is a meditation timer. Choose how long you want to take a break, tap Start and close your eyes. Three bells open your meditation and three bells close it. In between there is only silence – and, if you wish, a gentle bell reminder to bring you back from your thoughts.
BELLS THAT GUIDE YOU
• Three bells at the beginning and three at the end
• Any length from 1 minute to almost 24 hours
• Real bell sounds, recorded for this app
• Tap Test to hear a bell and set the volume before you begin
FOCUS REMINDERS
When the mind wanders off into thoughts, a single bell gently brings you back.
• Single bells at random moments, so you cannot wait for them
• Choose how often: from about every 30 seconds to every 10 minutes
• Rhythm "More at the start": frequent while the mind settles, then gradually less often
• Reminders never overlap the opening or closing bells
TWO WAYS TO SIT
• Timer shows the time remaining and lets the screen turn off
• Slow Pulse hides the clock and slowly fades the screen between black and gold
• Pause and continue at any time
MADE FOR REAL MEDITATION
• The bells keep ringing with the screen locked
• The silent switch does not mute the bells
• Phone calls, AirPods and headphones are handled gracefully
• The closing bells ring to the end, even if you close the screen
• Start a meditation from Shortcuts or ask Siri
• Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac
• Supports VoiceOver and Reduce Motion
