About Stillness Timer

Stillness Timer is a free online meditation timer built for simple, quiet practice. Set a duration, choose a gentle bell, and begin — without creating an account, installing an app, or paying a fee.

We designed the timer for everyday mindfulness: morning sits, short breath breaks, and evening wind-downs. Preferences such as duration, preparation delay, bell choice, interval bells, volume, and theme stay in your browser so the experience feels familiar the next time you visit.

What you can do

Choose any session length from 1 to 60 minutes, add an optional preparation countdown, and play interval bells during longer sits. Three soft meditation bells are synthesized in the browser — no external audio files required.

The countdown tracks a target end time so it stays accurate if you switch tabs or briefly leave the page. You can pause and resume a session, then reset it while paused.

Our approach

Meditation tools should stay out of the way. Stillness Timer requires no account or payment. Advertising and analytics services help support the site. We do not collect personal information about your sessions.

The timer is for general wellbeing and relaxation. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for care from a qualified health professional.
