Key Features

Precise Timer System

Uses a high-precision timer algorithm to measure time accurately without even a second of error. Time remains accurate even in the background, and ongoing sessions can be recovered even after page refresh.

Breathing Guide

Provides scientifically validated breathing patterns including 4-7-8 breathing, box breathing, and calming breath. Visual circular animations, countdowns, and gentle sound effects make it easy to follow breathing rhythms.

Interval Bell Alerts

If you want to receive alerts at regular intervals during long meditation sessions, use the interval bell feature. Freely configurable from 30 seconds to any desired time, automatically validated to not exceed meditation duration.

Variety of Alert Sounds

Offers 7 meditation-specific sounds including singing bowls, chimes, Tibetan bowls, and gongs. Each sound is designed with frequencies optimized for meditation, and you can select your preferred sound with the preview feature. Volume is also finely adjustable.

Preset Saving Feature

Save frequently used settings as presets to start meditation with a single click without setting up each time. Create various presets for different situations like morning meditation, lunch break, or evening meditation.

Fullscreen Mode

Supports fullscreen mode where you can check remaining time with large numbers during meditation. All unnecessary UI elements are hidden, displaying only the timer and essential controls to maximize focus.

Statistics and Record Management

Automatically tracks meditation time and session counts for today, this week, and this month. Check consecutive meditation days for motivation and understand your practice patterns through recent meditation records.

Screen Wake Lock

During meditation, the Wake Lock API prevents the screen from automatically turning off. You can focus on meditation with peace of mind even on mobile devices.

Meditation Tips

Choose a Quiet Space

Before starting meditation, find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. If possible, set your phone to silent mode and let people around you know you’re meditating.

Maintain Comfortable Posture

Sit with a straight back but without tension. You can sit in a chair or on the floor with a cushion. The important thing is to find a comfortable posture you can maintain for a long time.

Start Short

Beginners should start with 5 minutes and gradually increase the duration. Practicing consistently for short periods daily is more effective than occasionally meditating for long periods.

Focus on Breathing

When thoughts arise, notice them without judgment and gently return your attention to your breath. Meditation isn’t about stopping thoughts but practicing awareness of them.

Set Regular Times

Meditating at the same time every day makes it easier to form a habit. Try incorporating it into your daily routine, such as right after waking up or before bed.

Benefits of Meditation

Regular meditation can bring the following positive effects:

• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved concentration and memory
• Enhanced emotional regulation
• Better sleep quality
• Stabilized blood pressure
• Strengthened immunity
• Increased self-awareness
• Enhanced creativity

However, these effects vary by individual and require consistent practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beginners are recommended to start with 5-10 minutes daily and gradually increase. For experienced practitioners, 20-30 minutes is appropriate, but consistency is more important than duration.

Thoughts keep arising during meditation.

This is a very natural phenomenon. When thoughts arise, notice them without judgment and return your attention to breathing. This process itself is meditation practice.

When is the best time to meditate?

Morning meditation helps you start the day calmly, while evening meditation helps release daily stress and improves sleep. Choose a time that fits your lifestyle.

Must I use the breathing guide?
