User Reviews

Users love Simple Meditation Timer for its focus on a single task—no ads, no clutter—and its minimalist design. The main strengths cited are its simplicity, the option to log meditation minutes in Apple Health, and a pleasant gong ending. However, several recurring drawbacks reduce usefulness: the timer often won’t play the end sound unless the app stays open, it doesn’t run in the background or when the screen is off, and the bell volume is not adjustable. Some users also report inconsistent Health logging and occasional timing reliability issues. Overall, it’s ideal for a distraction-free timer when conditions allow.

Pros

Simple, minimalist design with a single purpose (timer) and no ads or accounts.
Logs mindfulness minutes to Apple Health (Health app integration).
End bell/gong sound is pleasant and suitable for meditation.
Clean, distraction-free UX that avoids upsells and extra features.
Lightweight and reliable for users who want a focused timer.

Cons

End-of-timer sound may not play unless the app is active; background operation not supported.
The timer cannot run in the background or when the screen is off, requiring the screen to stay on.
No volume control for the gong; the chime is loud or not adjustable and not responsive to device volume.
Health data logging can fail due to Apple restrictions or app limitations.
Occasional timing and reliability issues, including missed sounds or drift.

As an energy healer and mindfulness instructor, this is all I need for my personal practice as well as for my work! Thank you!

After using Headspace for years and suffering through its increasing bloat and busyness, I realized all I wanted was a simple timer with a gentle bell. I tried a few other apps but they were full of pop-up suggestions and upsells. And then I found this sweet app. It couldn’t be closer to my wishes if I’d written it myself. Thank you.

Set the timer and it will count down but it does not actually play any sound when the time is up. Maybe you need to keep it as the active, open app in order for it to work, however that is not practical unless you set your device screen to never go to sleep/lock.
