Mala & Meditation Timer

Mala & Meditation Timer is a bell to sit by and a mala to count on. Set the minutes, choose your bells and sit. Then count each recitation along a strand of beads, with a tap or a volume button. Every sit and every round goes into one log, kept on your phone. No ads, ever. No account. No data collected. The app has no internet access at all, so what you practise stays with you. A MEDITATION TIMER WITH INTERVAL BELLS Slide the ruler to any length from 1 minute to 3 hours. Choose a starting bell, a closing bell of one or three strikes, and interval bells at the halfway point or every few minutes. Give yourself a few seconds to settle before the first bell. There are three voices: a singing bowl, a bright bell, and a woodblock for a shared room. You can hear each one before you choose. THE SCREEN GOES QUIET WHILE YOU SIT A sit shows the time left and little else, and after a few seconds the display dims to its lowest. Pause if someone needs you. End early and keep what you sat. BELLS THAT REACH YOU WHEN THE PHONE IS LOCKED Allow notifications, and each bell still rings when you lock the phone or leave the app. Ring the bells at alarm volume, so they sound even when the phone is silent, or at media volume, so that with headphones in only you hear them. A MALA COUNTER FOR MANTRAS AND RECITATIONS Tap anywhere, or press a volume button, to move one bead along the strand. You feel a tick for each bead and a longer pulse at the guru bead, so your attention can stay with the words. Count rounds of 108, 54, 27 or 21 beads, or any number you set. At the guru bead the mala turns, as it does in the hand. COUNT TOWARD AN ACCUMULATION Give a practice a goal, such as 100,000 recitations, and the app keeps the running total. Enter what you had completed before, and add the rounds you count on your own beads. Keep as many practices as you like, each with its own count. ONE LOG FOR SITTING AND RECITING See the days you practised on a month calendar, how many days in a row, the last seven days at a glance and your totals for all time. Add a note to a sit, or add a sit you did without the app. A QUIET DAILY REMINDER An optional reminder at the time you choose, only on days you have not practised yet. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device. Save a backup file and restore it on a new phone whenever you like, or delete everything in one tap. On Android 12 and later, Android's own phone-to-phone transfer brings it across too.
