Pure Silence is a silent meditation timer for people who want to meditate, not manage an app.
Pure meditation. Nothing else.
Most meditation apps bury the practice under courses, subscriptions, and decisions. Pure Silence does the opposite: open it, pick a length, and begin. No catalog to scroll, no plan to choose, no account to create — just you and the silence.
Whether you are new to meditation and tired of being overwhelmed by choice, or an experienced practitioner who simply wants a dependable timer, Pure Silence gives you exactly what you need and nothing you don't.
Nothing to figure out
Two ways to sit, so there is never a decision to agonize over:
• Silent meditation — 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes of quiet, with a soft singing-bowl chime at the start and the end, and optional bells at the intervals you choose
• Five-minute guided breathing — a recorded human voice eases you into silence, then steps aside
Lock the phone, put it face down. The bell still finds you.
Works fully offline
Every part of the app works with no internet. Made for retreats, flights, trains, and the quietest corners of the world. Nothing to load, nothing to buffer.
Private by design
No account. No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Apple Health, reminders, and iCloud sync are all optional and all off until you switch them on — the app works completely without granting anything. Your whole history exports as a plain CSV whenever you want it. Your practice stays yours.
Quietly on every screen
Glanceable support that never gets in the way:
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your streak, with one-tap start
• A live countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you sit
• Start a sit by asking Siri, from Control Center, or from a Shortcut
• A full Apple Watch app with a complication for every face — it keeps the time itself, as a meditation rather than a workout, even with your phone left at home
• Optional Apple Health Mindful Minutes, write-only
• Optional private iCloud sync for your streak and history across devices
A quiet record, not a game
A simple streak, a month-at-a-glance calendar, and your total time in silence. No badges, no leaderboards, no losing.
In five languages
English, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese — the app, the widgets, the watch, and Siri.
Pay once, nothing else ever
One price. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account. Every feature is yours from the first sit.
Pure Silence is built for people who want to focus on meditation, not technology. It gets out of the way so you can sit.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update makes Pure Silence steadier everywhere it counts.
• Finished sits are always recorded — even if the app is interrupted or closed at the last moment. • Fixed a crash when opening Meditation stats. • Pulling out your earphones during a paused sit no longer resumes sound on the speaker. • End-of-session haptics now come through with the screen locked. • Widgets, complications, and the Lock Screen countdown stay correct after travel, clock changes, and force-quits. • Your Apple Watch sits can now sync through iCloud too. • Starting a session from Shortcuts or Siri now respects the length you asked for. • Ending a sit before one minute quietly returns you home instead of celebrating an unsaved session.
A note for multi-device users: iCloud sync is now off by default. You can turn it on in Settings — it applies the next time you open Pure Silence.
