Simple Meditation Timer 4+

Finally! Someone built the meditation timer I’ve dreamt of for 10 years! It’s so simple & elegant. All it does is time your meditation, then it ends with a beautiful Japanese gong sound. When I lead Zen practice on Zoom, I just turn the sound off. I don’t need to know how many more minutes (although the time is displayed in a large, easy to read font) all I need to know is are we getting to the end of the period. The graphic shows that perfectly. Simplicity! Inspired by Zen, to be used for Zen (among other things).

I love this app, it's my favorite meditation timer in the app store! The only thing that would make it better is having a silent (no bell) option to end. Perhaps if the circle gently strobed at the end to give you a visual hint that would be a nice and elegant way to end. Anyway it's wonderful! Also I wish to report a couple bugs: sometimes the bell doesn't go off at all for some reason, and also sometimes when resetting after a session the circle doesn't fully reset and has a strange "gap" in the circle. Restarting the app fixes this. I meditate for 1 hour sessions if that helps. Thanks so much for this!

Also if you wanted to add a neat feature, the ability to select a ringtone or music file to end with would be nice! That way one could have chanting automatically start or have a relaxing stream sound play or whatever one liked! Thank you so much! ❤️

I’ve been looking for a very simple timer with an elegant interface, and this fits the bill nicely. There is one feature they could add that would make it simply perfect — an option to NOT show the numbers while it’s running. I only want to see the circle diminishing as time runs out.

UPDATE: ...and I suppose an option to hide the iOS Status Bar. (They just added it in the latest update. :-/) They also might reduce the brightness of (or hide entirely) the dot at the bottom when you’re on the main screen and the timer is running. Maybe just an overall “Hide interface while timer is running” switch..?

Go minimalism! :-)
