Timefully • Meditation Timer 4+

I always felt distracted peeking at the clock during meditation to check the time. This app solves that problem by playing a gentle sound after your 30 second warm up, after your meditation and finally after your cool down. There are profiles for other forms of meditation as well.

The app is very thoughtfully designed and honestly is just so much better and more than I expected. The time tracking features are great, the selection of sounds to choose for the timer are great, the ability to fade in the sound is so appreciated. I love the milestones and the ability to set reminder notifications. I'm so impressed with this app! Big thanks to the developer. My wife and I happily paid for lifetime subscriptions even though we don't have Apple watches (yet).

One feature request: I would love to be able to import my own mp3 for the timer sound.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful feedback! So happy to hear you like Timefully!

Will look into the import your own mp3-part. If possible, reach out to hi@timefully.co and tell a bit more about this request. Do you want to update sounds frequently, or would adding a few new sounds to the base set that comes with the app be enough?

Thanks again for the feedback & have a nice day /

If you do shikantaza, breath awareness, or any other type of “just sit” meditation, this is hands-down the best app available. It allows you to set customizable timers with bells, and to set notifications by day of the week. You can start a session — silently if you like — from your watch. If you do, it tracks your heart rate and exports it to the health app. Then it logs the length of your sit and tracks your habits across time.

That’s pretty much it! No guided meditations or lectures to buy, just an app to track your mediations efficiently and without distraction. Where Headspace and Calm charge $13 per month, this app is $14 for lifetime full access.

The only thing I would improve is the heart rate tracking. Some others can write Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data to the Health app, and that’s nice data to have to see meditation’s effect on your stress levels.

Thank you for the feedback! Wonderful to read this kind of review.

We are looking into the heart rate tracking (including HRV) and will release updates over the next couple of months. I'll keep you posted here once the updates are available in the Timefully app.

Thank you for helping us make the app better,

I’ve never reviewed something because I always felt it a waste of time, but this app is so worth writing about. All of its features are easy to use and completely helpful. Adding notes and emotions to each session has been an amazing way to cool down, and being able to go back and look at your progress is great. It’s just nice to have something visual that can show your progress.

It is also incredibly reasonable for the price, and I also thought it was really awesome that your trial actually gave you a good amount of time with the app before making you decide to purchase or not.

I love this app, if you like meditation and want to track it, I highly recommend this app.

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy using Timefully, and that what we are trying to achieve with the app is in the right direction.

Feel free to reach out to hi@timefully.co if there is anything we could add to make your experience with the app even better.

All the best,
Timefully
