Meditation Bell Timer

“Sit in silence with a bell every few minutes.”

A silent timer with a real bell at the start, the end, and wherever you want it in between — plus the numbers from 47 randomised trials, including the line that rarely gets quoted: against exercise or group therapy, meditation did not come out ahead on any outcome measured.

  • Settling silence, opening bell, interval bells and up to three at the close
  • The bells drawn as marks on the ring, so you can see the shape of the sit first
  • Bell, singing bowl or soft chime, generated as tones — nothing to download
  • Keeps the screen awake, counts down in whole minutes, no notifications
  • An honest evidence panel, including the adverse-event figures nobody prints

How it works

Three steps, then you're done

Set the length

And a stretch of silence at the start to settle, if you want one.

Choose the bell

Then press start and put the phone face down.

Sit

It rings when it said it would, and not before.

Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. There is no account, no login and no server. Switch your wi-fi off and it still works — that's not a promise about our policy, it's just how the tool is built.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.

I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?

The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
