A quiet place to sit.

Meditation mode is a quiet timer over a living scene, with a breath to follow and soft sound made by the app. Meditation is part of Zen Plus.

Sit. Breathe. Nothing to manage.

A scene that moves gently, a cue to follow, and sound if you want it.

A Meditation session over Mountain Mist: Orbilla with its eyes closed above the countdown, and the cue Breathe in.

A breath to follow

Orbilla closes its eyes, and the cue reads Breathe in.

The sound picker, Your sound: Tanpura, Soft Rain, Ocean, Forest, Singing Bowls and Warm Hum.

Sound made for Zen Timer

Tanpura, soft rain, ocean, forest, singing bowls and a warm hum, which you can mix. Soft Rain is free.

Apple Health settings: Meditation to Mindful Minutes, Workout to HIIT workouts, and Heart rate, calories and rings.

Mindful Minutes, if you wish

Meditation sessions can be saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes, only if you turn it on.

Sit, and something grows.

A finished meditation plants a lotus on your month’s island, and counts toward Orbilla’s next rank. The garden and the ranks are free.

Plans and prices

About sitting with it.

Is the meditation timer free?

No. Meditation is one of the five modes that come with Zen Plus. First-time subscribers can start with a 1-week free trial on Monthly and Yearly. Zen Timer itself is free to start, with Study mode, the Soft Rain soundscape and two guided breaks: Breathe slowly and Rest your eyes.

Which sounds can I sit with?

Six soundscapes made for Zen Timer, which you can mix: Tanpura, Soft Rain, Ocean, Forest, Singing Bowls and Warm Hum. Soft Rain is free. Apple Music subscribers can play their own music with Zen Plus.

Does it save Mindful Minutes?

Only if you turn it on. Meditation sessions are then saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. Nothing from Health is sent to us. The Mac app has no Apple Health.

Does it work without a connection?

Yes. The timer, Orbilla’s voice and the soundscapes all run on the device.

Do I need an account?

No. There is none to make.

Breathe in.

Free to start. Meditation comes with Zen Plus, and first-time subscribers can start with a 1-week free trial.
