Meditation timer

A calm timer for meditation, breathing practice or prayer. Choose the bell or chime sound for a soft ending, and press F for a dark, full-screen view.

How long to meditate

Beginners often start with 5 minutes and build up to 10 or 20 minutes. Consistency matters more than length: a short session every day is easier to keep than a long one now and then.

Tip: choose Bell or Chime in the sound menu and switch to a dark theme with T so the screen isn't bright while your eyes are closed.

Press Space to start or pause, R to reset and F for full screen. Quick picks: 5 minutes · 10 minutes · 20 minutes · Interval timer.

Questions people ask

What sound does the meditation timer use?

Pick from beep, bell, chime or digital watch in the sound menu. Bell and chime are the softest.

Can I meditate with the screen off?

Keep the page open. Some phones pause web pages when the screen locks, so use the keep-awake button for longer sessions.
