Ratings and reviews

Simple and effective. I love the black background and orange text, which is very unassuming in a dark meditation room. You can set any length of time, pause, restart. You can set the volume you want for the gong sound when the time is off, and it only sounds once (vs an alarm clock), so you don't have to turn the sound off - you can keep meditating if you want without noise disturbance.

Basically perfect, it's minimal (ideal for trance states), functional, and allows turning on do not disturb automatically. My only gripe is that I can't use my own audio file. I often get so lost in my chanting (which is fairly low pitched) that I cannot hear the built-in gong over the mantra permeating my being. I prefer higher pitched singing bowls/bells to cut through the trance. If I could set my own sound file for the gong, this would a a no-brainer 5 start app.

This app has been absolutely extraordinary in how useful it is whilst remaining incredibly simple to use. My favorite features are the ability to silence specific notifications, or all notifications - and the optional soft "gong" sound after the meditation, which is such a beautiful sound even if the volume was accidentally left on too high. Other very noteworthy and useful features are the ability to change the timer length and the countdown colors to any color imaginable. Thank you!!
