Mantra Meditation Timer rejects the bloated tracking of modern wellness apps. Built for self-directed practitioners, this elegant iOS app offers a distraction-free experience with zero data collection. Enjoy core Meditation timers, calming chimes, and mental or physical check-ins completely free. For established pro mantra practitioners, a small one-off payment unlocks advanced stats and deeper customisation. No subscription fatigue, just a beautifully simple tool for profound daily practice.
I have been practising Transcendental Meditation daily for over 3,700 consecutive days. After over a decade of practice I simply wanted a clean tool to support my daily practice. Instead, I found a wellness market saturated with bloated apps. The official options required intrusive personal background data, others pushed endless guided programmes, and almost all of them demanded a recurring monthly subscription just to sit in silence.
Mantra Timer was born out of pure frustration. I wanted to build a beautiful, distraction-free timer that treats practitioners with respect—meaning zero data collection and zero notifications shouting for your attention.
How the Product Evolved:
Building a software studio at a slower, "human pace" while managing a chronic illness (ME) forces you to become hyper-intentional.
Ditching the Subscription: I originally planned a standard annual subscription tier. But as the studio's anti-rental philosophy solidified, that felt hypocritical. So I completely changed direction. The core app is entirely free, and additional functionality for established practitioners is unlocked via a single, small one-off payment. Buy it once, own it forever.
I will be hanging out in the comments section and I would love to hear your feedback, your critiques, or your own stories about fighting subscription fatigue!
Really like the restraint here. Wellness apps often add so much tracking and complexity that they become another thing to manage. A focused, private timer with no subscription feels much more aligned with the practice itself.
