This app was just what I needed. I was never bothered about guided meditations, I just wanted an app which tracked the time I logged throughout the year to make sure I wasn't slacking. I know quantity isn't a shadow on quality but it's a metric yoi can objectively monitor. My one piece of feedback would be that it'd be good if the the background on the timer could be dimmed (i.e. night mode) so then it wasn't such a bright light in a dark room.

The app itself works well. I like how customizable it is, as many options somehow are not available in other similar apps. However, there is one really quite alarming issue. The app constantly runs in the background for no valid reason and sucks a lot of battery while doing so. A meditation app should not run in the background while not being used. This behaviour is very alarming as the app may be collecting data in the background or doing something else with malicious intent.

I like that this is just a meditation timer as many meditation apps have too many features for me. The only things I don't like are the sound quality of the bells and the way loading a meditation instantly starts it. Also there seems to be a bug when pressing done after checking the box to add the extra time. This synced multiple identical meditation sessions to Google fit and wouldn't close the session screen.

Nice little meditation app. It's great to simply meditate and not have to worry about all the money grubbing options of the other bloated meditation apps. I WOULD like to see a better selection of sounds of available, but the ability to import a sound of your own choosing somewhat makes up for that.

One of the better ones I found but I dont like how the background noise keeps going after the session ends, specially in those times when I have fallen asleep I have to wake up and go into my phone and into the app to turn it off. Also I'd like there to be a way to disable the words of wisdom from popping up after each session.

I use it daily and like it. It doesn't ask for strange and unnecessary permission, it works consistently, and it has a variety of bells to use including intermittently. I hope it regain the ability to play Bells multiple times at the beginning and end of a session.

This was wonderful initially until I got a new phone. No user data was imported period there does not seem to be a way to import my old user data. Also all of the meditation presets, I had about 10, are gone, totally. If I had known this I would not have wasted time on this app period I suggest that no one download it.

I love this app. I am a long time user and regular user. I have been requesting this feature for a while. I generally have a bell ring at the end of the session. But its too abrupt and breaks my concentration. I want the background sound to fade slowly and then the bell sound. So that it prepares my mind that the session is ending.

I've meditated for well over forty years and this app has become my go to tool. I have used it for over ten months, and it has helped me immensely in achieving my current year's goal of 365 hours of meditation. It helps with maintaining consistency, focus, and discipline in supporting both autonomous and guided meditations. I love constructing different playlists to support meditatve intent like health management, maintaining serenity, manifesting, and character-shaping.

AWESOME app for meditation. I use this for TM. You can set a prep bell for 30sec, and a warning bell for when to stop mantra. "Alarms" are very gentle. A similar device without all the features costs 50$ on Amazon. Also lets you track progress of daily meditations. It's a free app with no ads, so please make a donation for the use of this wonderful tool. TYSVM

Very customizable. I have been using this app for over 2 years and I love it because I can make it do whatever I want it to do. It's easy to select sounds and hear them by just long pressing on the sound you are trying out when designing a meditation. And CSV history files are easy to use -- Excel will open them automatically and create columns and rows.

EDIT: After backing out of (and accidentally "saving") an in-progress to edit the settings, an extra session was saved in the goals progress. Also, when I edited my goal my previous streak was deleted. A calendar view w/ ability to edit session records would be much appreciated. --- I was struggling a bit with the app, but the design and features made it worth it. I just got back from a silent retreat, recommitted to daily practice, and while I was gone a major update happened. It is SO good.

Generally pretty good, I like that it mutes notifications and the achievements are an interesting addition. The only real complaint I have is that it randomly reset my number of days after 200 days, back to 1. I was using it to track a full year of sitting every day and I double checked, the history doesn't show that I missed any days, but the count reset anyway. Maybe 200 is the maximum it supports for some reason.

Great barebones meditation timer - has an infinite time feature which many timers seem to lack, which is good. The one thing that I miss in this app is the option to see how much time you meditate on a given day (you can look at the chart but it's hard to gauge), or see the meditation history grouped by days, not just listed out. Otherwise, it's perfect to time and track sits.

This is one of the most used apps on my phone. Finding a timer for meditation isn't that hard. What is hard is finding an app with timers, start and stop chimes that don't hit you over the head, and drone-like background sounds when you need to combat noisier environments. That is where this meditation shines. While I don't personally use the built-in log (I use a separate journal), I can see where it could be helpful for people who would like that. I will be donating soon!

Clean and useful. When you have Fit integration, the "Done!" button can take a long delay to finish because of the API call; please consider showing a progress widget. Please offer a setting to automatically repeat the current meditation again, after the planned time is up. Please consider adding more famous sayings. I can help collect them if you like.

I think the best thing about this app is its simplicity. I have been doing Transcendental Meditation for over three years, and have had difficulty finding an app that is this customizable for my type of meditation. You can set a warmup timer, type of sound for when the meditation starts and ends, and it even tracks your meditation progress.

This app got updated without my permission, and Repeat Last Session disappeared! Very annoying, especially when I want to sit and be calm. Also my favorite ending sound and my favorite color scheme are gone. Is there a way to revert to the prior version? That version worked fine. There was no need to change it. However, it's a great timer app that works well, so I give it five stars.

I was looking for a somewhat basic and easy way to track my meditation. I find it helps to keep me motivated. Had I designed an app specifically how I would like it, it would have been identical to this one. I even just sent a donation to these guys I like it so much. It gives you different options for how long you want each session to be and sets a timer. It also allows you to look at every date you have meditated and see the time on a graph as well as a written record. I love it.

Ok I really love how simple this app is. I was up and meditating in less than two minutes. To the creator(s) of the app I have a request. Would it be possible to implement a custom ringtone feature similar to the custom background music. Id like to be able to set the interval ringtone to personal affirmations I've created. I'm not sure if that's something you can do, but if so I would really appreciate it. All in all this is a great app to help build the habit of regular daily meditation.
