Meditation Timer

Summary

This meditation timer runs a silent countdown for any session length you choose, from a couple of minutes to a full hour. A soft bell tone marks the start and the end, and you can turn on interval bells to sound every few minutes as a gentle check-in during longer sits. The bell is generated in the browser with the Web Audio API, so there is no audio file to load and no external dependency.

How it works

1. Pick a preset session length or enter your own minutes and seconds.
2. Optionally turn on interval bells and set how often they should ring.
3. Click Start; a bell sounds and the countdown begins.
4. Pause anytime to freeze the countdown and Resume from the same point.
5. Interval bells (if enabled) ring quietly at each interval, and a closing bell rings at the end.

Use cases

• Time a silent seated meditation without watching a phone screen.

• Run a group meditation where an audible bell marks the start and finish.

• Practice yoga nidra or relaxation sessions with a fixed, distraction-free countdown.
