A meditation timer that doesn't want your attention

What it does

Most meditation apps started as timers, then became content platforms. Celebrity narrators, sleep stories, workout classes... awhile goes the other direction. It's a meditation timer with guided breathing. No account, no onboarding, no content library. Pick a duration, pick a sound, and sit for a while. The design is inspired by Dieter Rams' work at Braun. His mantra "less, but better" felt like the right starting point for an app that helps you do less. Free on the App Store.
