Sama (Simple Meditation Timer)

Sama – Simple Meditation Timer

Your practice. Your data. Your story. Sama is a quiet, ad-free meditation timer that lives entirely on your device — and gives you real ownership of your meditation journey.

Most apps lock your history behind an account or send it to their servers. Sama is different: every session, note, and journal entry belongs only to you, stored locally, forever.

A journal that's truly yours

Every session is logged — date, duration, intention, and your personal notes. Browse your history in list or calendar view, track your progress over time, and export everything as TXT, JSON, or Excel whenever you like. No cloud. No account. No middleman.

Key features

🔔 Authentic bells — Choose from 9 sounds: tingsha, Tibetan bowl, crystal bowl, gong, and more. Preview each one before your session.
⏱ Flexible sessions — Open-ended free mode or timed meditation from 1 to 120 minutes. Set warm-up periods and bell intervals exactly how you like.
📋 Custom presets — Save your favorite configurations with name, duration, and bells. Set one as default to start meditating in a single tap.
📓 Automatic journal — Every session saved the moment it ends. Add an intention beforehand, notes afterward, then browse by list or calendar view.
📊 Stats — See your streaks, cumulative time, and session history at a glance.
📤 Data portability — Export your full journal as TXT, JSON, or Excel. Import it back anytime, on any device.
🔒 Complete privacy — Zero data collection. No tracking, no analytics, no unnecessary permissions. Everything stays on your device.
🌙 Dark and Light modes — Switch manually or let the app follow your system theme.
🌐 Spanish & English — Full interface available in both languages.

Sama is free and open source. If it adds value to your practice, you can support its development with an optional donation.
