Made by meditators for meditators.
During a Vipassana Meditation retreat, I have realized the meditation timer I was using for timing meditation sessions was far too elaborate, distracting and not very reliable. I have therefore developed a simple meditation timer app to run on my phone. The app worked really well, so much that I have decided to upload it on Google Play, thinking other meditators might use it for their daily meditation practice or while on a Silent Vipassana meditation Retreat.
Whether you are an apprentice, a teacher or a seasoned meditator the meditation timer will help you to track meditation sessions without distractions and useless features. The Meditation app will not teach you how to meditate or take you though some guided meditation, the purpose of the app is to track time for insight meditators that have pre-existing meditation skills and know the technique(s).
I will make some extra improvements to the timer, as soon as I will have the time free from meditation and please, get in touch via the meditation app and let me know how we can improve the app. Also, if you want to contribute to the maintenance and development of the app, feel free to buy me a coffee :-)
Cheers everyone and I wish you all a life without suffering.

In order to raise some money to finance the app maintenance, we have introduced a little banner ad at the top of the end of session screen which only appears if an internet connection is present. We need of funds in order to get the project going, we really hope the little banner will not cause distraction to the meditators, if so please let us know and we'll find some other ways to raise money. Please keep the meditation sessions going, the most important is to meditate, timing is secondary.
This new minor upgrade, brings you increased preparation and interval times from 3 to 5 minutes maximum. It also brings some correction in spelling and translation mistakes.Thank you so much for your feedback, expect a major upgrade soon and please keep on giving feedback, we'll try our best to improve the app.
