How to use the meditation timer

  2. Choose a bell and, if you like, an interval bell every few minutes.
  3. Press Start. A bell starts the session, the page dims, and a gentle bell marks the end.

Questions

How long should I meditate?

Start with 5 or 10 minutes a day. Many people build up to 20 minutes. A short daily session helps more than a long one now and then.

What are interval bells for?

A soft bell every few minutes brings your attention back, or marks a change, for example from breathing to a body scan.

Will the timer work with the screen off?

The bells are scheduled in advance and keep time in a background tab. Some phones pause sound when the screen locks, so keep the screen on.
