MindTimer
The Apple Watch timer that taps you back to the breath.
Any timer can tell you when a sit is over. MindTimer helps while you're in it: gentle haptic taps on your wrist, at a rhythm you choose, each one a quiet reminder to notice the mind has wandered and come back to the breath. No guided voices, no library to scroll — just a small, deliberate meditation timer for the Apple Watch.
What it does
- Taps that bring you back
- Minds wander — that's the practice. A gentle haptic taps your wrist during the sit, and each tap is a cue to notice where your attention went and return to the breath. No sound, no screen, nothing anyone else can hear.
- Your rhythm, your feel
- Choose taps anywhere from every 10 seconds up to once a minute, or tie them to the sit itself — at the halfway point, thirds, or quarters. Pick from three tap styles to find the one that cuts through without jolting you.
- Set it and breathe
- Dial in a length with a tap, hit Start, and the watch does the rest. No accounts, no feeds, no streaks to keep.
- Open-ended Rollover
- Turn on Rollover and sessions carry on past the target instead of stopping. Sit for as long as it feels right.
- Counts towards Health
- Every session is saved as mindful minutes in Apple Health, so it lands alongside the rest of your day.
