## Description

No guiding voice. No goals. No account — your practice stays on your device. A meditation timer rooted in Japanese Soto & Rinzai Zen: just the bell, silence, and you.

Built in Japan by a Zen practitioner. No guiding voice. No program to follow. No goal to achieve.

Zen Home is a meditation app rooted in Japanese Zen Buddhism — Soto and Rinzai traditions. 
While other apps pile on content and guided sessions, Zen Home strips everything away. 
What remains is what Zen has always been: silence, a bell, and you.

THE PRACTICE
- Zazen Timer — Set 3 to 60 minutes. A bell marks the beginning and end. Nothing else.
- Susokukan — Count your breath from one to ten, then return to one. An ancient practice to anchor the mind.
- Posture Guide — Five cards teach you the essentials: how to sit, where to place your hands, where to rest your eyes, how to breathe, and what "just sitting" truly means.

DAILY ZEN
- Zen Word — A new zen word every day. Each comes with its meaning and reflection.
- Koan — A weekly koan from Zen masters. A question that logic cannot answer — holding it is the practice itself. Daily hints deepen your understanding over seven days.

YOUR JOURNEY
- Stone Garden Calendar — Each day you sit, a stone is placed in your karesansui garden. The empty days are not failures — they are space.
- Statistics — Monthly and all-time sessions, total time, and days practiced. Your streak is shown quietly, without pressure.

ATMOSPHERE
- Three ambient soundscapes: temple morning, rain garden, bamboo grove.
- Interval bells to mark the passage of time during longer sits.
- Haptic feedback for breath counting.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Most meditation apps add. Zen Home subtracts.
No guiding voice. No achievements to unlock. No content to consume. Zen asks for nothing — you sit, and that is all. The practice is the practice.
Built in Japan, by someone who sits.
