Pocket Meditation Timer for Pc

2017, August - the annoying loud video pop ups after sessions are gone -- THANK YOU! Changed my review back to 5-stars. 2017: The app developers have started using video pop-up advertisements after a meditation timer completes. It's disconcerting and incongruous to be jarred back to reality by the sound of bombs and machine guns from a video game after finishing a nice meditation sessio! I've changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. Like other reviewers, I would be happy to pay for a pro version to have the ads removed. So it goes. We've all gotta eat, and I get that. Hard work should be rewarded. But those War game videos... I'm almost tempted to look for another app that I can just buy to remove the ads. 2016: This app does exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to time my meditation, and has a wonderful interval feature where you can have it give you another alert during your meditation. I use it to meditate for 15 minutes, then it gives me a chime and I switch to prayer for another 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, it gives me a chime to let me know I'm done. You can adjust the timers to anything you like, so this is perfect for any kind of meditation. The chimes are soothing, unobtrusive, perfect for meditation. Thank you for this wonderful, free app!!

I use this app to help me time my TM meditations. I’ve been doing TM for only about 2 months. However, when i first started I did not use a timer. I kept opening my eyes during meditation to check the clock. While reading Super Mind, Dr. Rosenthal suggested using a meditation app to keep track of the meditation time. With a pleasant, non rattling sound that would gently bring you out of your meditation. This is a great app for that. Now I can just relax during my meditation, and know that I won’t go over my time. I also like that you can set timers for prep and rest. I have mine currently set to 2 minutes of prep, 20 min meditation, and 5 minutes of rest. This app has made my TM effortless, just as its supposed to be. Thank you!

I really enjoy this timer. In true meditation, one is not supposed to use a timer, it is to be the inner body/soul that is to be used for timing. I love the intention, but I’m a schedule, people! This allows me to get in meditation in my busy schedule. I know that I’ve allotted 15 minutes, 20 minutes, or even just 5 minutes....I’m getting a meditation in and I don’t have to keep one eye opened (so to speak) on the clock...the meditation timer does it for me. It allows me to set the time for getting relaxed for the meditation, then the meditation time itself, and the closing timer to come out of the meditation in a gentle way.

It does what it says: it times your meditation practices. I like that we have options for the length of the preparation time, the intervals, the option for each to have its own sound and to chime 1, 2 or 3 times. I also like the ability to write notes and save them. It helps me to note obstacles that I encounter in my practice and how I’m dealing with them. I might take a half a star away because recently, there have been glitches in that some sounds didn’t chime as they were supposed to do. I’m hoping this is due to some incompatibility with the iOS update that I just did and that it’s being addressed by the programmers. On another topic, I would love to be able to save more than one timer routine, say ten, twenty and thirty minute timers, each with distinct pause intervals and sounds, so that I wouldn’t have to change the options each time, according to how much time I have available or to my moods. Even with my critiques, I recommend this app to anyone.
