This elegant meditation timer times your sittings, provides a beautiful
journal for sitting notes, and displays graphical tracking giving you clear
feedback and reminders for your meditation practice. It's carefully designed to be the
ideal companion for anyone who meditates.
The journal is comparable in quality to many standalone note-taking apps. It allows you to optionally take notes after your sittings, and lets you browse through your meditation history as either a visually annotated log or textual journal. All of your recorded data can be exported - as a nicely formatted email that you can print, or as a table that you can load into a spreadsheet if you want. You can also email individual journal entries - useful for posting them on a blog.
Easy to read graphics let you know at a glance how regularly you are meditating, and how long your daily practice has been going. A chart illustrates your progress over the course of the year, and a bar graph shows the total number of hours you have meditated, and the application icon can optionally show daily reminders to sit or alert you if you've missed a sitting.
It's much easier to keep a routine going when you can see so clearly how you are doing.
The timer shows time passing using clean graphics that allow you to see at a glance where you are within your sitting period without being unduly distracted.
If your meditation routine incorporates different stages within a single sitting, you can set chimes to ring at the appropriate points using straightforward controls.
Because the timer is intended to be used every day, the design provides a calm and clear experience without unnecessary clutter.
This application has helped me to make meditation a daily practice, and I hope it can do the same for you.
