This free timer makes it as easy as possible to time your meditation practices, regardless of what technique you use. My emphasis in designing this has been on calm, simplicity, and ease of use.

The timer shows the progress of time using clean graphics that allow you to see at a glance where you are within your sitting period without being unduly distracted.

You can set an optional preparation period to allow you to adjust your seating and get settled before a gong rings once to indicate the start of the sitting. At the end of the sitting, the gong rings three times.

Please give it a try. I hope you find it to be an effortless and encouraging part of your practice.

Features:

• Simple and inviting visual design.
• Elegant visual illustration of elapsed time.
• Graceful handling of interruptions (e.g. SMS, Phone).
• Configurable sitting time.
• Configurable preparation time.
• Pleasant gong tone.
• iPod music can play in background

Sure, the historical Buddha lived about 2,500 years ago, but aspects of contemporary Buddhism are just that -- modern and current. I found a slew of Buddhist apps in the store, and most can be divided into two categories: book-style references and lifestyle apps like meditation timers. It gets repetitive and digging through the heap to find the best took some work, but I've come up with a decent list. If you're looking to add your iPhone or iPod touch to your practice, check out these five apps. No matter which school you subscribe to, you should find something useful (all prices are USD). I just had to link at least one meditation timer, and this is the best one I could find. A key part of nearly any Buddhist's practice is sitting meditation. Since most modern practitioners (lay ones at least) can't afford to sit for most of the day, Read More

Looking forward to know which way it makes a huge difference to have a timer for meditation.

People should be developing more useful apps like this one. Simple, neat and it does the job. Would be nice if the app makes the phone vibrate when the timer runs out.
