Silent Sit: A silent, tactile meditation timer
Silent Sit paces your sitting with vibrations alone. No bells, no sound, no screen to look at: you feel the rhythm on your wrist and keep your eyes closed.
Made for people who meditate and want a timer that is discreet, always there, and speaks only through touch. A phone distracts and tempts you to look at the screen. Your wrist does not.
HOW IT WORKS
- Open-ended sittings: the duration you pick is not an end but a cycle that repeats for as long as you sit, without breaking the rhythm.
- The home screen leads with Start, showing your last-used settings just beneath it: one tap and you begin again like yesterday. Press Down to adjust the duration or tick interval.
- During the sitting the screen shows only the elapsed minutes, large and centred on a dark background. No countdown, no progress bar, no cycle counter to stare at.
THE VIBRATIONS
- Periodic tick (every 10 or 30 min): a brief, light tap.
- Mid-cycle: a medium double.
- End of cycle: two long pulses, then the cycle restarts on its own.
The three patterns are deliberately distinct in rhythm, so you know where you are without opening your eyes.
BUILT FOR MEDITATION
- Detects Quiet Time: if it is off, the app reminds you to turn it on before you begin, so outside notifications do not disturb you.
- Timekeeping anchored to absolute time: zero drift even on long sittings.
- Dark screen and backlight off, to avoid distraction and save battery.
No accounts, no statistics, no cloud. Just you, the breath, and a beat on your wrist.
