Free meditation timer · A moment to yourself
One bell to start, one to finish — a 30-minute sit with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
The timer has ended — 10 min of stillness.

Thirty minutes is where a daily practice starts to feel like training rather than a break. Retreats and most traditional courses treat half an hour as the base unit of a serious sit.
Long sits are easier with a checkpoint: set the interval bell to ten minutes and you get two gentle marks on the way. There is no prize for sitting longer than you can honestly keep up.
Choose your bell and interval options above, press Begin sitting, and close your eyes. The 30-minute timer starts immediately after a short preparation countdown, opens with one bell strike, and closes the sit when time is up. Keep the tab open — the timer keeps accurate time even in a background tab, and on laptops it can keep the screen awake while you sit.

Yes. The timer is anchored to the clock, not to the tab, so background tabs do not slow it down. Audio plays when the interval or closing bell fires.
You can choose a Tibetan bowl, a zen gong, or a soft chime, and add optional interval bells every 1–10 minutes. All sounds are synthesized in your browser — there are no audio files to download.
