Description
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.
