A quiet companion for silent meditation, mindful breaks, and a moment to yourself.
A practice that feels like yours.
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
A timer that leaves room for you.
For the days you want to sit in silence, breathe for a few minutes, or settle in for a longer meditation.
01
Make time, your way
Choose your session length and optional interval bells. Set a different sound for the beginning, the moments between, and the end.
02
Settle into your surroundings
Pair your bells with gentle rain, heavy rain, ocean waves, forest sounds, or a fireplace. Choose silence whenever that feels right.
03
Come back to what works
Save your favorite settings as presets. Your morning sit or evening wind-down is one tap away, right from your Home Screen.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Your practice, one glance away.
Start a saved preset with one tap, see whether you've sat today, and keep a few kind words in view. The widgets follow the theme you choose in the app.

FOUR BELLS TO CHOOSE FROM
Find your gentle reminder.
Four bell sounds, each with its own character. Hear them in the app, then choose the one that feels right for your practice.
All four bells are included free in the app. Silence is always an option, too.

SMALL MOMENTS COUNT
A little presence. In everyday life.
Your practice can begin with a few quiet minutes.
Your familiar rituals, ready to go
Keep up to three presets for free. Give each one a name and save its duration, bells, and background sound. Start one from the Quick Start widget, or begin a session straight from Control Center.
A pause you meant to take
Schedule mindfulness reminders for a time that suits you. Pro adds random reminders for an unexpected invitation to return to the moment.
Every theme comes in light and dark, or follows your device. Nature is free. Ocean, Twilight, and Sunset come with Pro, and your widgets change to match.

SEE YOUR PRACTICE GROW
Watch a habit quietly take root.
Every session ends with a short summary: how long you sat, your streak, and your minutes this week. With Pro, detailed statistics show the bigger picture.
Yes. The free app includes a customizable meditation timer, interval bells, all four bell sounds, five ambient recordings, scheduled reminders, three Home Screen widgets, and up to three saved presets. Pro adds optional features through a monthly subscription or one-time lifetime purchase.
Does it include guided meditations?
Presence Bell is an unguided meditation timer. You choose the duration, bells, and background sound, then practice in your own way. It does not include guided sessions or courses.
How does the interval meditation timer work?
Choose your session length and a regular interval for bells during your meditation. You can set separate sounds for the start, intervals, and finish, or turn interval bells off for a silent sit.
Does Presence Bell have Home Screen widgets?
Yes. Quick Start opens one of your saved presets with a tap, Today's Practice shows whether you've meditated today, and Daily Wisdom shows a new mindfulness quote each day. These are free. With Pro, Weekly Stats and Meditation Streak track your practice. There is also a Control Center button that begins a session with your current settings.
Is there a dark mode?
Yes. Every theme comes in light and dark, or can follow your device's appearance automatically. Nature is included free. Ocean, Twilight, and Sunset are part of Pro, and your widgets use the theme you choose.
Does Presence Bell work on iPhone and iPad?
Yes. Presence Bell is available for iPhone with iOS 18.0 or later and runs natively on iPad with iPadOS 18.0 or later. An Apple Watch version is coming soon, and you can sign up to hear when it's ready. There is currently no Android app.
Do I need an account?
No account is required. Your meditation settings and session history are stored on your device. Apple handles payments for optional Pro purchases. Our privacy policy explains purchase processing and device backups.
Can I get Pro without a subscription?
Yes. Choose the lifetime option in the app for a one-time purchase. A monthly subscription is also available. You can keep using the free timer without buying Pro.

Take a moment. It's yours.
I built Presence Bell as an independent developer with a background in psychology. A simple tool for a personal practice. I read every support message myself.
