About this app

A silent meditation timer that gets out of the way. No guided voices, no feed, no ads — just a bell, your breath, and the time you choose.

Most meditation apps want your attention. MindTime gives it back. Set a duration, pick a bell, and sit. When you finish, your streak, your stats and your journal are waiting — and nothing else is.

Built for a real practice
MindTime is the timer, not a content library. It is made for people who already sit: vipassana and insight meditation, zen and zazen, mindfulness and MBSR, samatha and anapanasati, metta, breathwork, yoga nidra — or simply sitting quietly for ten minutes a day.

Silent by design
• No voices, ever: nothing talks over your session. No guided tracks, no teacher, no feed to scroll.
• Vibration-only mode: feel your interval bells instead of hearing them — made for retreats, shared rooms, offices, dorms and late nights beside a sleeping partner.
• Fully silent mode: or switch every sound off and let the session simply end.
• No ads, no interruptions: nothing appears while you are sitting.

Your timer, your way
• Any duration: from seconds to hours — or endless mode with no time limit at all.
• Warm-up phase: settle in before the session really begins.
• Presets: save your usual sit and start it with a single tap.
• Four session types: Meditation, Sleep, Focus and Relaxation, each with its own statistics.

Six interval bells that bring you back
• Six recorded bells: three Tibetan singing bowls (Manipuri, Jambati, Thadobati), a crystal bowl, a Hanchi gong and Koshi chimes.
• Start, interval and end bells: set each one separately — ring every 5 minutes, every 10, or at any interval you like.
• Independent volumes: every bell has its own level, so nothing ever jolts you out of a sit.
• Or no bell at all: vibration only, or complete silence.

31 soundscapes — entirely optional
• Noise: brown noise, light brown and intense brown noise, white noise, pink noise, green noise and blue noise.
• Rain and nature: gentle rain, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, rain on a van, ocean waves, a mountain river, forest birds and crackling fire.
• Ambient and frequency: zen garden stream, choir pad, cosmic space, 174 Hz, 285 Hz and 528 Hz.
• Silence is the default: mix a soundscape under your session only when you want one.

Build the habit
• Daily streaks: see your consistency at a glance.
• Real statistics: total sessions, total minutes and average session length, broken down by type.
• Weekly view: the days you actually practiced.
• Gentle reminders: stay on track without being nagged.

Reflect with a journal
• Session notes: capture what came up while it is still fresh.
• History: browse back through weeks and months to notice patterns.
• Optional: turn journaling off in Settings and never see it again.

Distraction-free by design
• Hide the clock: show or hide the countdown and the progress circle — some people focus better without a number.
• Screen stays on: your phone never interrupts a sit.
• Gentle fade-out: eases you out of the session instead of cutting it off.
• Cloud sync: presets, history and streaks stay in step across your devices.
• No sign-up needed: open the app and start. The timer and all six bells work offline.

Available in 38 languages.

Ratings and reviews

This is the meditation timer I've been wanting for a long time. It's got several different singing bowl chimes to choose from, and you can set it for any amount of time, separate intervals within a session, and set a recurring mindfulness chime to go off at intervals of your choice. It has pretty backgrounds and will play music, although I don't use those features. It's been fully reliable and actually works. Thank you so much to the app creators. This is the best timer!

This app works well, and it's basically everything I liked about Insight Timer before all the extra and annoying stuff that was added to it. It opens, doesn't glitch out, it does exactly what I need it to do for my meditation practice. 5 stars!

Simple to use, better than the Insight one that floods you with annoying schemes.

What’s new

MindTime has a new look. A clean white circle icon marks the app on your home screen, and dark mode now uses soft charcoal tones that are easier on the eyes in a dim room. Prefer the deepest dark? Turn on the new Black mode in Settings for a true-black theme. The sound cards on home are a little more compact, too. Find a quiet moment and begin.
