MindTime is now on Apple Watch: start a meditation right from your wrist, and every session counts toward your streak on iPhone. A silent meditation timer that gets out of the way. No guided voices, no feed, no ads — just a bell, your breath, and the time you choose. Most meditation apps want your attention. MindTime gives it back. Set a duration, pick a bell, and sit. When you finish, your streak, your stats and your journal are waiting — and nothing else is. Built for a real practice MindTime is the timer, not a content library. It is made for people who already sit: vipassana and insight meditation, zen and zazen, mindfulness and MBSR, samatha and anapanasati, metta, breathwork, yoga nidra — or simply sitting quietly for ten minutes a day. Silent by design • No voices, ever: nothing talks over your session. No guided tracks, no teacher, no feed to scroll. • Vibration-only mode: feel your interval bells instead of hearing them — made for retreats, shared rooms, offices, dorms and late nights beside a sleeping partner. • Fully silent mode: or switch every sound off and let the session simply end. • No ads, no interruptions: nothing appears while you are sitting. Your timer, your way • Any duration: from seconds to hours — or endless mode with no time limit at all. • Warm-up phase: settle in before the session really begins. • Presets: save your usual sit and start it with a single tap. • Four session types: Meditation, Sleep, Focus and Relaxation, each with its own statistics. Six interval bells that bring you back • Six recorded bells: three Tibetan singing bowls (Manipuri, Jambati, Thadobati), a crystal bowl, a Hanchi gong and Koshi chimes. • Start, interval and end bells: set each one separately — ring every 5 minutes, every 10, or at any interval you like. • Independent volumes: every bell has its own level, so nothing ever jolts you out of a sit. • Or no bell at all: vibration only, or complete silence. 31 soundscapes — entirely optional • Noise: brown noise, light brown and intense brown noise, white noise, pink noise, green noise and blue noise. • Rain and nature: gentle rain, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, rain on a van, ocean waves, a mountain river, forest birds and crackling fire. • Ambient and frequency: zen garden stream, choir pad, cosmic space, 174 Hz, 285 Hz and 528 Hz. • Silence is the default: mix a soundscape under your session only when you want one. Build the habit • Daily streaks: see your consistency at a glance. • Real statistics: total sessions, total minutes and average session length, broken down by type. • Weekly view: the days you actually practiced. • Gentle reminders: stay on track without being nagged. Reflect with a journal • Session notes: capture what came up while it is still fresh. • History: browse back through weeks and months to notice patterns. • Optional: turn journaling off in Settings and never see it again. Distraction-free by design • Hide the clock: show or hide the countdown and the progress circle — some people focus better without a number. • Screen stays on: your phone never interrupts a sit. • Gentle fade-out: eases you out of the session instead of cutting it off. • Cloud sync: presets, history and streaks stay in step across your devices. • No sign-up needed: open the app and start. The timer and all six bells work offline. Available in 38 languages. Website: https://mindtime.app Terms: https://mindtime.app/terms Privacy: https://mindtime.app/privacy

my go to meditation timer

Great strategic fun
MindTime is my go-to meditation timer. I used other meditation apps for years, but eventually got tired of being constantly encouraged to use guided meditations, set goals, track progress, and so on. I understand that developers need to make money, but I would much rather pay a simple, low subscription fee and not be pestered.MindTime does exactly what I need. It is simple, unobtrusive, and lets me meditate.I have two small requests for future versions. First, I would love for the bell sounds to decay more naturally. When a meditation bell suddenly stops after four or five seconds, it is surprisingly noticeable. Other timers I have used allow the sound to fade naturally for 30 seconds or more, which is much less distracting.Second, I'd love the ability to save and name different presets. Please keep that feature in mind as the app evolves.Overall, this is the meditation timer I use every day. I appreciate the developer’s work and the simplicity of the app.

Thank you, this is exactly what I hoped someone would say. A timer that stays a timer, with no goals or streaks pushed at you, is the entire idea. And you're right about the bells stopping too abruptly, a real decay would sound far better. I've noted it for a future version.

MindTime, now on Apple Watch. Start a meditation straight from your wrist. Turn the duration wheel to choose how long you'd like to sit, decide whether the bell should sound, and begin — sessions run for up to an hour. You can put your wrist down and settle in; the timer keeps going until your time is up. Every session you finish on your Watch carries over to your iPhone, so it counts toward your streak and shows up in your stats alongside the rest of your practice. A new look. MindTime has a new icon: a clean white circle. If you'd rather keep the original singing bowl, it's still available as an alternate icon. The app now opens on a branded launch screen, and dark mode uses soft charcoal tones that are easier on the eyes in a dim room. Black mode. Prefer the deepest dark? Turn on the new Black mode in Settings for a true-black theme. A tidier home screen. The sound cards on home are a little more compact, so more of your soundscapes fit in view. Thank you for making MindTime part of your day. Find a quiet moment, take a breath, and begin.
