## Description

Zen Timer is a simple meditation timer with no ads, no popups, and nothing extra on the screen. Set your time, sit, and let the singing bowl tell you when you&#39;re done.<br><br>Spin the zen circle to set your duration. The bowl chimes three times to begin your session, the way sittings open in traditional Zen practice, and one chime ends it.<br><br>Meditations are logged with a calendar heatmap and a daily streak, so you can watch your practice build over time. If you&#39;d rather have just the timer, logging can be switched off entirely.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>• Spin the wheel to set your time<br>• A short preparation countdown lets you settle<br>• Three bowl strikes open the meditation, one closes it<br>• Your session is saved to the heatmap automatically<br><br>Whether your practice is shamatha, zazen, vipassana, breathwork, or a simple daily mindfulness habit, this minimalist meditation timer stays out of the way and keeps the time.<br><br>Zen Timer is free, and supported by the donations of generous meditators
