Zazen Meditation Timer3.2.2

Configure timed meditation sessions on your Android device, with separate sections for sitting, walking, or another practice. Each session can combine multiple timed sections, and demo sessions appear on the first launch to provide ready-made examples.

Choose from eight authentic bell recordings made with Japanese rin bowls and a Tibetan singing bowl. Every section can have its own bell, ring count, and interval between rings, while session-specific bell dimming controls adjust loudness. Audio files can be added as custom tones from the Manage Bells screen, and long-pressing and dragging rearranges sections while swiping deletes them.

During practice, an animated arc displays progress through the current section, elapsed or remaining time, and transitions between sections. Tapping the timer cycles through section elapsed time, section remaining time, session elapsed time, and session remaining time. A foreground service with a persistent notification keeps timing active when the screen is locked or another app is being used, with pause and resume controls available both in the notification and inside the app. An optional keep-screen-on mode includes adjustable brightness, and light, dark, and system themes are supported with Material You dynamic theming.

Zazen Meditation Timer suits meditators building structured routines at home, in a zendo, or during walking practice, and is distributed as open-source Health & Fitness software for Android 6.0 or later with universal architecture. Version 3.2.2 requires SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM for precise bell timing, POST_NOTIFICATIONS for the foreground-service notification, FOREGROUND_SERVICE for background timing, and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE when importing custom bell audio.
