Ready for a quiet moment.
How the meditation timer works
- Choose a preset session length or select "Custom..." to enter any length from 1 to 180 minutes.
- Pick a bell sound, set its volume, and choose an optional interval bell for longer sessions.
- Press Start, settle comfortably, and return attention to your breath when distracted. Turn on "Keep screen awake" if you want the display to stay on.
- Pause when needed; the chosen tone marks intervals and the end of the session.
How timing stays accurate
The timer records a finishing timestamp and repeatedly compares it with the current browser time. This avoids accumulating small scheduling delays during the session.
time remaining = finish time - current time
FAQ
Can I pause a meditation session?
Yes. Pause keeps the remaining time in place, and Start continues the session from that point.
What are interval bells for?
An interval bell gives a gentle time cue during a longer session without requiring you to look at the screen.
Can I set a custom meditation length?
Yes. Choose "Custom..." from the session length list and enter any length from 1 to 180 minutes.
What bell sounds are available?
Choose a singing bowl, temple bell, soft chime, or wood block, each with its own tone and decay, plus a volume slider.
What does "Keep screen awake" do?
It asks the browser to prevent the screen from sleeping while a session runs, using the Screen Wake Lock API. It has no effect in browsers that do not support it.
Why does the sound begin only after I press Start?
Browsers require a user action before allowing generated audio. Starting the timer enables its bell, interval, and completion tones.
Does the timer stay accurate in a background tab?
The timer uses a fixed finishing time, so it corrects the displayed time when the browser gives the tab processing time again.
Is my meditation activity saved?
No. The selected duration, bell choice, and timer state remain in the current browser tab and reset when the page is reloaded.
