How to Use the Meditation Timer
- Press Start — or the Space bar — to run the 10 minute countdown. Space also pauses and resumes it; R resets it
- Adjust by 1 minute with the +/- buttons while it runs, toggle Repeat to loop it, and check the finish time shown under the display
- Use the Fullscreen control below the timer for a room-sized countdown (Esc to exit)
- Choose or mute the alarm in the header's sound settings, and pick a background sound — rain, ocean, fireplace or brown noise — that fades out at zero
- Enable notifications to be alerted when your meditation timer finishes in a background tab, and add
?autostart=1to the link to start the countdown on load
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I meditate as a beginner?
Start with 3 to 10 minutes. A short meditation timer you actually finish is better than a long session you avoid.
Can I use the timer without a loud alarm?
Yes. Use the sound control in the header to mute alarms if you want a silent visual timer.
Does this meditation timer work on mobile?
Yes. It works in mobile browsers, so you can use it on a phone or tablet without installing an app.
