Set your session, put your phone down, and let the bells guide you. Set multiple timers for a session - say, 2 minutes to settle, 20 minutes of silent sitting, 5 minutes of metta - and Mindful Timer moves from one to the next with a bell at each transition, plus optional interval bells along the way. No courses, no sleep sounds, no content library. Just timers to structure your session, soothing sounds, and you.
