A meditation timer
that respects your practice.
Authentic bells, customizable intervals, complete silence when you want it. No subscriptions, no ads, works offline.
You don't need an app to teach you how to meditate. You know your technique. You know your breath.
What you need is a timer that adapts to you, not the other way around. Silence when you want silence. Guidance when you want guidance. Real bells, not synthesized sounds. And nothing else getting in the way.
Everything your practice needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Authentic bell sounds
Singing bowls, temple bells, and gongs. The same instruments you'd hear in a meditation hall. Because details matter.
Customizable intervals
Set interval bells at any frequency to check posture, transition techniques, or mark breath cycles. Soft chimes that support rather than interrupt.
Your presets, instantly
StillMind learns your patterns and surfaces your most common durations and bell configurations. 10-minute breath focus before breakfast? It's waiting.
Works completely offline
Airplanes, remote retreats, camping trips. Your practice never depends on connectivity.
Screen off, timer on
Your screen can sleep. The timer keeps running. One tap to start, closing bell to finish, session logged automatically.
Set. Sit. Rise.
Set
Choose your duration or pick a preset from your history.

Start the timer and meditate with your preferred technique.

When the closing bell rings, your session automatically logs to your practice history.
I have never really had the habit of meditating but this app is so simple and intuitive that it is perfect for my chaotic mind. I love that you can adjust the session length and pick a meditation session type. I actually look forward to my mornings now.— gabikrawczyk, App Store Review

What people are saying about StillMind
Such a calming meditation app
I honestly love this app. It feels so wholesome and easy to use. The design is simple but really modern, and the dark mode makes it extra relaxing...
I honestly love this app. It feels so wholesome and easy to use. The design is simple but really modern, and the dark mode makes it extra relaxing. The onboarding felt super personal and different from other apps, and I'm obsessed with the little details like the gentle vibrations and the closing bell at the end of a session. Being able to customize meditations is great, but I also like that there are quick defaults when I just want to jump right in. The mood tracking and daily progress idea is such a cool touch too. It kind of feels like closing your Apple Fitness rings, but in a mindful way. Plus, I think it's awesome that you can invite friends and share the journey. Overall, it just feels calming, intuitive, and really supportive. Definitely one of the best meditation apps I've tried.
This app actually got me to meditate! And like it!

I have never really had the habit of meditating but this app is so simple and intuitive that it is perfect for my chaotic mind. I love that you can adjust the session length and pick a meditation session type… for example I love using the Affirmations just so I can meditate, focus and ground myself in an affirmation and intention for the day. The journal entry right afterwards is so perfect for you to jot your thoughts down after a session… I love the font, the font size, I love the tracker to show your progress! This app is actually worth it. I actually look forward to my mornings now for my personal 2-5min moment with myself. There are features I haven't even explored but so far it's a 10/10 for me (and I'm usually very critical of apps!).
Groundbreaking voice recording feature
The feature that lets me record my voice during meditation and automatically transcribes it is truly groundbreaking! For about three years I've struggled with losing most of my intuitive insights...
The feature that lets me record my voice during meditation and automatically transcribes it is truly groundbreaking! For about three years I've struggled with losing most of my intuitive insights by the time I finish meditating — this solves that perfectly. Thank you!

The personalisation of these meditations is amazing. Most meditations I've done in the past have been generic and my mind stays to wander, but I can use these guided meditations to keep bringing me back to the core reason why I'm doing it and not getting lost in my own thoughts.
AI guided meditation for the win
StillMind changed the game for me when it comes to meditation, because I can write down my intentions and let the voice guide me. (I am a beginner to meditation)

I was sceptical about AI generated and guided meditation sessions, but within a few moments that all melted away. Now I am glad I have a tool to achieve calm that adapts to the situation I find myself in. The app responds well, the voices are calming yet clear. This has just become my daily driver of calm.
Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing. One tool that I have been craving for that meets all I need for meditation. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customize the bell sounds?
Yes. Choose from singing bowls, temple bells, gongs, or silence. Adjust volume independently from your device.
Does the timer work with screen off?
Absolutely. StillMind respects battery life. Your screen can sleep; the timer keeps running.
Can I set interval bells?
Yes. Set interval bells at any frequency (every 5 minutes, every breath cycle count, etc.) to check your posture or transition practices.
Do I need a meditation timer or can I use my phone?
A dedicated meditation timer app provides gentle bells, automatic session logging, and no notifications disrupting your practice. StillMind eliminates the distraction of opening your phone's clock app and accidentally seeing messages.
Can meditation timers work offline?
Yes. StillMind's timer works completely offline, making it perfect for airplanes, remote retreats, or anywhere without internet. Your practice never depends on connectivity.
What bell sound is best for meditation?
Singing bowls are most popular for their calming resonance, but the best sound is what feels right to you. StillMind offers authentic singing bowls, temple bells, and gongs so you can find your preference.
How long should I meditate as a beginner?
Start with 5 minutes daily and gradually increase. StillMind lets you set any duration and saves your preferences as presets, making it easy to build consistency without overthinking the setup each time.
Can I use a meditation timer for yoga or breathwork?
Yes. Interval bells are especially useful for breathwork (marking inhale/exhale cycles or technique transitions) and yoga (timing holds or switching between poses). Set interval bells at any frequency that matches your practice.
How do interval bells work in meditation?
Interval bells are soft chimes that sound at regular intervals during your session. They help you stay aware of time passing without needing to open your eyes or check a clock. Some meditators use them to transition between techniques.
