Nice & Simple. I love the simplicity if this app. It’s easy to set your timer and relaxing to watch it count down. Only reason I took 1 star off its otherwise 5 star rating is the current lack of an export option.

Perfect Meditation Timer!!. I have been searching for a simple yet elegant timer for my meditation sessions! Thank you!

LOVED this app... until the end tone quit working. ‘Nuff said. The end timer doesn’t sound anymore until I am distracted from my zazen by my awareness that the timer should have sounded and I end my session and unlock my phone and press end, myself. Then it tells me I’m done. Most recent fix says it fixed this bug 10 months ago. Temporary fix, I guess. Two months in to using this app and now I have to delete it and find another one. Too bad because this app WAS perfect.

Doesn’t sync properly. I use this app on my watch and sometimes on my phone. Meditations from the watch often don’t show up on the app or on Apple health. I’ve tried uninstalling and toggling access and nothing seems to work. Has been a problem for months.

Great straight forward app. This app works a treat. Beautiful design and exactly the functionality needed for meditation. Thank you and well done.

Best app ever. Simplicity is life-changing if you know how to apply it

Simple and Effective. I love the gong, much better than any of the annoying alarm sounds on my phone, and the ability to choose intervals is nice. Helpful in incentivizing daily practice, I like to see my total time and daily averages. Also the app links up with Apple Health to record your mindfulness minutes for another layer of integration. If you are looking for a simple meditation tracker and timer, this is great. So great it appears Chris Hemsworth ripped off the name and logo for his app. Weird. Anyway, I give it five bags of popcorn and five cups of soda. Great little app.

Nearly perfect. Only thing missing is a watch face widget so I can launch it without searching through my watch apps. Please add this....

Can’t enable sleep in settings. Really nice app but screen sleep is stuck in disabled! Wastes battery :(

Almost great. The gong sound does not play if the phone is on silent (as others have noted as well), or on the iPad/Apple Watch when the screen goes to sleep after a minute or so. It basically makes the app unusable under a variety of situations… too bad, because otherwise the app is great!!

The best meditation app. After comparing all of the meditation apps I could find that time sessions and help track your practice, this is the most pleasing interface and has made it the easiest for me to make meditation a regular habit. I’m not sure why this isn’t at the top of the search results!

Great, except.... I really wanna give it five stars. I love the ease and simplicity of it, but I just really hate that I can’t play music while the app is open. I understand that’s the point of the app, but I wish that there was an option to play your own music if you choose. I think it’d be beneficial to just let me play my own music as the app is open. Other than that I really love it.

Easy to use- no ads! Thank you!!. I love this app because it is simple to use for my meditation and it doesn’t try to sell me things. It has no ads. I love it! I have used other apps for meditation but this is my favorite.

No session end noise. I don’t hear anything to signal the session is over and there is no option to adjust this at all only for sounds that will play at intervals during the timer itself but not at the end

Chime is not working. I just downloaded this app because it is exactly what I’m looking for from a meditation timer. The only bummer is that there is a bug — the chimes are not working!

Needs a critical fix. This app is simple and beautifully designed, but it doesn’t work. Every time that the screen is turned off or goes to sleep, the timer stops, so the alarm never goes off and the session is not logged. It’s beautiful, but sadly, useless.

Wonderful way to time meditations and track them. I love the circle method of timing. Doesn’t throw me into doing clock math in the middle of the meditation. And helps me keep my goal of getting 90 days in a row. Some day! Silent option is excellent for me. Thanks!

Doesn’t work when phone closed. Not being able to use it while my phone is closed is a deal breaker for me.

Phone version seems fine, watch version needs work. This app is beautiful and simple, and I love that it’s designed to track mindful minutes in HealthKit and to work with the watch. However, the watch app is erratic on my v1 watch - sometimes the timer stops as soon as the watch face sleeps, other times it’s fine. Also meditations on the watch don’t end up getting tracked as mindful minutes. This is frustrating and I hope a fix gets released soon.

Almost perfect. This app is everything I want in a meditation timer/tracker but I really wish the bell would work with my phone sounds turned off. It would be much better to not have to work to ignore notifications and phone ringing during my practice.

It's perfect for me. Thanks for making a simple, no frills app for meditation and tracking. Request - if it could work on silent mode and keep the timer bgoing when phone calls interrupt, it would be utterly perfect

this is the meditation app you’re looking for. Yes this is it. All the other ones are full of distractions and/or want your money. This app doesn’t “game-ify” meditation. instead, its simplicity helps you actually establish a consistent practice. thank you to the designers.

Exactly what I needed. All I wanted was a simple meditation timer and this is it. I love that I can use it with my Apple Watch, too.

Major Flaw. The app is visually wonderful and the design is clean and simple. The major flaw is that once the phone goes into sleep mode the timer stops counting down and the sounds aren’t made. There is an option to allow the phone to go to sleep but I am unable to toggle this on and the phone still goes to sleep. This issue makes the app unusable. I hope this can be fixed soon as I very much like the overall design of the app.

Simple and Easy to Use. I use this for Vipassana and for Anapanasati, and sometimes, I use it to set a limit for analytical meditations. It’s a wonderful app; easy to use and simple.

So close. Why does this meditation timer not signal the end of a session? Seems like a simple thing that they should have nailed on an initial release-sort of the one thing the app should do, right? I don’t think it should be so non-intuitive with an otherwise simple and intuitive app.

Perfect, but one quick thing... Absolutely love the app, it’s all I needed with no added gimmicks or distractions. The bell sounds are of great quality and ring out instead of abruptly ending like other apps I’ve used. The one thing I wish I could do is input my streak from before I used this app. Hopefully that can just be added in an update later on because I will continue to use this app!

Doesnt vibrate. I wish it vibrates to let me know it’s time to start or finish. My phone is kept on vibrate and low ring volume so that calls dont ring loudly when Im at work. This product requires you to turn up your cellphone’s volume.

Simple, nice, but …. This is what a meditation timer should be … simple and elegant. The only thing that might improve it is the ability to save partial sessions when using the Apple Watch complication. Sessions cut short when using the Watch complication don’t get saved to the app (or to Health). Make that change and it would get five stars.

Perfect timer. Very simple and effective. I use it to time all kinds of activities—zazen, naps, guitar practice. Love the color swirl on opening and absence of options. I’ve used another excellent timer for years, but got weary of the upsell to even more bells and sound scapes…and content that I don’t need or want. One change, if you would—stop warning me that 30 mins may drain my battery. Thank you 🙂

App doesn’t work properly on Apple Watch. When the screen goes to sleep ok the watch, the app pauses. You never know when the time is up!

Good concept but a couple of issues. There are a couple of issues preventing me from using the app. I think if this were open-sourced, those of us who would like to use this app could help resolve those issues

Love it. The whole point of a meditation app should be simplicity which this app delivers.

Excellent minimal app. Does everything you could want it to and nothing more. I used headspace for a good while and found that I spent a lot of time searching for new content that I will enjoy. I prefer to spend that time differently. Thank you for this.

Simple. Excellent.. Timer. Interval timer that's adjustable. History. It facilitates daily meditation without interference. No nagging -relies on personal responsibility. Works flawlessly.

Straight forward and great.. I really love the app. Does just want I want in a mediation app. I would love to have more timing options. Especially for a smaller increments below 5 minutes.

Fills a need and checks every major box. Exceptional app and design. Very well thought out, minimalist, and easy to use. Thanks so much. My only suggestion to the creator is a vibrating timer. An audible gong is not always appropriate for the setting. Also, as a minor bug, the sound will not work if the ringer is turned off.

Anti-mindfulness non-timer. In theory, this app has everything that I want in a meditation timer. In practice, it is buggy to the point that it interferes with my meditation. Most significantly, as other reviews have noted, the end bell is unreliable and often never sounds. This makes meditation impossible since I am frequently wondering whether the session should be over and end up interrupting the session frequently to check the time so that I do not end up going to work late. This basically makes the app an anti-mindfulness timer. Also, the apple watch app (I’m using a series 8) does not really work at all. The timer freezes often and then even when you complete a session and “save” it, it saves it to nowhere—it does not get reflected in the log on the iphone app, nor does it get logged to mindfulness minutes. I would advise the creator to either start maintaining this app or remove it from the app store. A timer is not a particularly complicated application, so having your name associated with a timer that is so buggy as to be unusable cannot be a good thing.

Watch app. I used the timer on my watch, sat and meditated after hitting “start”…not sure how long I sat there but there was no indication of when the timer was complete and the app itself was no longer open on my watch, and no record of ever having meditated. Crappy first experience.

Doesn't work on silent mode. This app is EXACTLY what I wanted for meditating. No, subscription plans, no guided lessons, and no frills. Just a timer and a logger. The only major gripe I have is the app doesn't work on silent mode. The starting gong sound doesn't play in silent mode, and the ending gong never goes off. The app is only usable in ringer on mode with do no disturb turned off in order to hear the notification sound. If you have your phone automatically go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity, your phone will go to sleep during the timer. When the timer goes off, you'll get a classic iOS notification sound rather than the gong. I usually put my phone on do not disturb or silent mode when Imeditate so I don't get distracted by notifications but this app doesn't let me do that. There is a "screen sleep" setting, but the app does not allow me to change it for some reason.

Thank you. I have been looking for an app like this for a long time now. To the developers: thank you very much!

Stop working when screen dim/lock. Dear Tanner I love the simplicity. However, the entire app stops working when the screen dims and then go into screen lock. The app fades into background and stop working (bell) but timer appears to be on but I don’t know when the meditation ends…. Isn’t that odd? I have iPhone 13 pro. This does not happen with my daughter’s iPhone SE. I am hopeful for a fix coming out soon for me to update this review. Thank you!

Does not stay working in the background. I need to use 2 apps to meditate: one a timer and one a counter. When I switch back and forth from the counter to the timer, the timer stops. This doesn’t work for me.

Great easy to use. So simple and easy to use. I didn’t want to hurt your rating with anything less than a five star, but there are some problems with the audio not working. Besides that perfect

Great App. My meditation timer became unnecessarily complicated w/ guided meditations, social interactions, chants, advertisements, specials & weekly offers. This app is beautiful in it’s simplicity & user friendly.

Bell doesn’t work. It’s apparently just a wrapper for the clock you already have on your phone except that the bell doesn’t work. So, it’s basically a silent timer. You get no benefit from using this over what you would get just setting aside 10 minutes with the timer set on your phone and at least the timer on your phone will chime at the end. The meditation app industry is truly one of the epic swindles of all time.

Almost perfect. Great app, I’ve been looking for one that doesn’t use sounds or music and I think this is my favorite. The only thing I would like is the ability to set intervals on the watch, other than that it’s amazing

Timer cannot be trusted.. When your phone goes to sleep, the timer just stops and fails to notify you when your session is done.

This app had one job. I guess I never knew what a habit of pressing my lock screen button I have. This app has only been useful to me the one or two times I forget to press the home lock button before I start meditating. If I do press it on accident there is no warning but the meditation timer turns off it will not alert me when meditation time is over. This makes the timer completely useless when you do this, as I cannot figure out how to make it work while on the lock screen. And today it turned off on its own, without me even touching the button! There seems to be a button to fix this but I can’t click it. You have one job timer! Everything else? Just right. Thank you for the effort, it’s almost there, but it’s simply useless when this happens hence one star.

There’s No Place Like Om. Easy to use, nice tone. The couple of seconds lead time is nice.

Doesn’t work properly. Needs bug fixes.. Been using this app for a month and was loving it but now suddenly the app goes to sleep during the timer and the interval sounds don’t play. I’ve tried changing the settings for screen sleep but it is set on disabled and it can’t actually be changed. Nothing happens when you try to tap that setting option. Such a shame because I was using this daily snd getting a good routine and tracking all the data and now if I have to get a new app that works properly I will lose a month of my date. Needs some bug fixes.

Very cool. Please enable logging on the watch app.. Cool app, made my someone who gets it. Would love the watch app to log meditations. Thanks.

Almost great. Would be 5/5 but the sleep screen setting doesn’t allow me to enable it.

Simple and effective. Simple gong sound to begin, end and at intervals of your choosing. Really appreciating using it. Can link to apple health app if you like too.

Everything it needs to be... and nothing else.. A simple uncluttered app that does one job well. Highly Recommended.

Ideal. As a Zen practitioner this is perfect . Just as it should be - simple. Start and finish.

Great, though could be better. Would be good if you could be able to alter the interval times, instead of the total time divided into equal parts.

Excellent. Easy to use. Friendly graphics. Peaceful meditative alerts. Helpful statistics facility. Perfect.

No Sound. I tried this twice and it never made any sound at the end of my meditation. Thankfully I could somehow feel that the time had elapsed. This app is great if you stare at the screen while meditating but without sound it’s useless to me.

A minimalist success!. I love this app. I really do. I’ve been using it daily for many months now. It’s the perfect fit for my needs. It’s got a elegant minimalist user interface and uses a simple physiological mechanism to encourage daily use. I’m almost at 200 days now. Great job!

Great app. Thank you for making this free!

Didn’t work for me. I set up a test session of 3 minutes with 3 interviews, pressed Start, and after less than 1 seconds, End appeared. Tried a longer time: same result. Even if it did work, changing the session length takes too much effort. I did like the circling colours effect.

Great app!. No nonsense. Simple. Doesn’t harass you with sharing options or guided meditations. I also love the preparation graphic that loosely constricts into the timer. I do wish it had a manual entry option. If you catch 10 minutes without your phone you can’t enter it, which might impact your streak, which I neurotically need to maintain.

Great. Simple. Free. Awesome app for daily meditation timing and tracking. Simple and calming. Free to use. Thanks!

Perfect. Wonderful easy to use timer with a nice selection of bells. Also has a history tracker which integrates nicely with health kit. All for free

Great app but apple watch & iphone data doesn’t sync!. everything about this app is awesome except tracker on apple watch & phone don’t sync.

Brilliant. Exactly what I’ve been looking for - perfect for TM meditation! Super easy, no extra bells & whistles (which I don’t need). 5 stars all around!

Make the alarm work with silent ringer. Great app! Beautiful and simple interface. The only annoyance is the bell doesn’t ring without turning the ringer on.

Worthless - screen must stay active. As others have noted, as soon as the phone goes to sleep, timer stops. Deleted.

Doesn’t work in silent mode.. I keep my phone on Silent all the time. This app doesn’t play its sounds if the phone is in silent mode. Too bad; it’s really easy to fix! Just a quick one-line change of code! Just set the category on the AVAudioSession. Hope the developer fixes this; it’s otherwise a great app!

Simple timer 2.0. Better than “simple timer” @ 1.8mb. “Center timer” adds interval bells and charts. I am still debating whether I would prefer the chart function be taken out and the app reduced from 3.1 mb to 2mb. However, the chart allows you to ditch the apple health app completely.

Broken. Screen sleep doesn’t work

great app!. great app, rated 4 stars because bells don’t ring in silent mode. Other than that, it’s awesome! 😊

Simple, clean meditation app. Love this for mindfulness meditation. Keeps it simple with timing and stats. Delightful design!
