How to use

Pick how long you want to sit, from one minute up to almost a full day, and tap Start. Three bells mark the beginning of your meditation and three bells mark the end, so you never need to look at a clock.

If your mind tends to wander, turn on focus reminders. A single soft bell then sounds at random moments during the session, about once a minute by default or as often as you like. Because you cannot predict when it rings, it simply brings you back to the present.

During the session you can choose between two screens:

  • Slow Pulse hides the clock completely. The screen slowly fades between black and warm gold, like a calm breath, and stays awake until you finish.
  • Timer shows the remaining time in large, quiet numbers and lets the screen turn off as usual. The bells keep ringing even when your phone is locked.

Features

  • Three bells to begin and three bells to end your session.
  • Any length from 1 minute to 23 hours 59 minutes.
  • Focus reminders: single bells at random moments, as many as you like.
  • Slow Pulse mode with no clock and a gently breathing gold screen.
  • Timer mode with large, easy-to-read remaining time.
  • Pause, resume or end at any time.
  • Optional reminder to turn on Focus or Do Not Disturb before you start.
  • Respects Reduce Motion and supports VoiceOver, light and dark mode.
  • Works fully offline. One app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
