Post Description

I found my way back to meditation recently but couldn't find a timer that did what I wanted: a simple interval bell to refocus attention, nothing more. No streak tracking, no gamification. So I built one.

The interval bell uses a different recording of the same singing bowl each time, so it doesn't become monotonous.

iOS only.
