Free meditation timer · A moment to yourself
You do not need an app, a course, or a subscription to start meditating. You need a timer, a bell, and a few quiet minutes.
The timer has ended — 10 min of stillness.

Meditation has a marketing problem: it is usually sold as a program, with levels and streak pressure and a narrator's voice. Stripped of all that, the actual practice is plain — sit down, set a modest amount of time, pay attention to breathing until the bell rings. This page gives you exactly that, with a five-minute default because five minutes is a length a beginner can keep every single day, which is the only thing that matters in the first month.
Mostly you will notice how noisy an ordinary mind is. That is not evidence you are bad at this; it is the discovery everyone has. The panel below tracks your streak automatically — aim for daily, keep sessions short, and let the length grow when the sitting asks for it.
Five minutes a day beats thirty minutes once a week. Start at five, keep it unbroken for two or three weeks, then let it grow naturally — ten, then fifteen.
No. Guidance is helpful but optional; a bell-timed silent sit is the traditional default. If you want light structure, the interval bell every minute gives you a checkpoint without anyone talking.
That is the practice working, not failing. Noticing that attention left and returning it — hundreds of times if needed — is the whole exercise. The timer holds the schedule so you do not have to watch the clock.
