Description
SelfMeditate is a meditation timer for self-guided practice, with interval gongs, ambient sounds, private journaling, presence tracking, and practice insights.
Meditation begins in silence.
Set your duration, sit without voices or courses, reflect afterward, and discover patterns in your practice over time.
No guides. No voices. Just your awareness.
A TIMER THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY
Set your duration with an intuitive gesture-based timer. Choose interval gongs to gently anchor your awareness, or sit in complete silence.

Add ambient sound when you want atmosphere without instruction. Choose from 19 sounds: water, fire, air, earth, flute, and more.
SelfMeditate supports lock screen controls, Live Activities, Dynamic Island, and iOS widgets, so you can stay with your practice without reopening the app.
OBSERVE YOUR PRESENCE
After each session, you can rate your sense of presence from 1 to 10.
Not as a score. Not as judgment. Just as a quiet signal.
Over time, these reflections help you see when you feel most present, how your practice changes, and which patterns are emerging.
REFLECT IN YOUR OWN WAY
Meditation does not end at the bell.
Use the private journal to capture what arose after a session, or to record moments of awareness from ordinary life.
Write your thoughts, speak them aloud, sketch what you see, attach images, or save files that matter to you.
SelfMeditate supports
- Rich text journaling
- Voice notes with waveform playback
- Smooth drawing tools
- Photos and image attachments
- File attachments
- Session-linked reflections
DISCOVER YOUR PATTERNS
Your practice becomes clearer when you can see it over time.
SelfMeditate includes insight cards for
- Practice rhythm
- Presence over time
- Session duration
- Practice gaps
- Meditation and reflection patterns
- Presence and duration connection
- Journaling consistency
- Long-term growth
These insights are not competitive. There are no leaderboards, pressure loops, or achievement badges. The point is not to perform. The point is to understand yourself more clearly.
YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR SANCTUARY
SelfMeditate also includes
- Daily quotes
- Gentle meditation reminders
- Journal reminders
- Calendar view for sessions and entries
- Streak tracking without pressure
- Widgets for quick access to timer, quotes, and streaks
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your reflections are yours alone.
No account required. No ads. Your journal, drawings, voice notes, photos, attachments, and meditation history stay on your device by default.
Export your reflections as PDF or Markdown, save media separately, or create a full archive of your journal and attachments.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF MEDITATION APP
SelfMeditate is not a guided meditation library.
There are no courses to complete, no voices to follow, no celebrity narrators, and no feed of content to consume.
It is a quiet container for your own practice: a timer, a bell, a journal, and a way to see what is changing.
The guidance you seek is already within you.
