In most contemplative traditions a bell marks transitions: it gathers attention at the start, returns it when it drifts, and releases it at the end. The sound has a long decay on purpose — you listen to the bell fade, and by the time it is gone you have already arrived.
This page gives you three characters of bell. The Tibetan bowl is low and humming, with a slow six-second tail. The zen gong sits in the middle — rounder and brighter. The soft chime is high and brief, closer to a wind chime than a temple bell. All three are synthesized from tuned partials in your browser the moment you press Begin sitting, so there is nothing to download and nothing sampled from anyone's recordings.
Use the bowl for long, quiet sits; the gong for ordinary daily practice; the chime if you share a space and need something discreet. Combine with interval strikes every 1–10 minutes to give a long sit a gentle structure.
No — and that is deliberate. Each bell is generated from a base frequency and a set of inharmonic overtones, shaped the way a struck bowl behaves. It means the sound is ours to give away, it loads instantly, and it works offline.
The zen gong is the most forgiving middle ground: audible, warm, and not startling. Try each once — the one that makes you want to sit again tomorrow is the right one.
Yes. Set the interval option to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes and the same bell strikes softly at each checkpoint until the session ends.
