MANTRATIMER
A minimalist meditation timer for mantra practice on iOS
About MANTRATIMER
MANTRATIMER is a meditation timer for iPhone built for people who practice mantra-based meditation. Its makers say most meditation apps focus on guided sessions, mindfulness or streaks, which get in the way of a simple timer, a mantra and silence. The app opens straight to the timer with no menus, offers standard and extended session timers with warm-up and cool-down phases, and sends silent, quiet notifications.
The free version includes built-in timers, local history for twelve months, basic statistics and a single daily reminder. A one-time MANTRA+ purchase unlocks custom timers, advanced statistics, up to eight reminders, rich session notes and iCloud sync across devices. Data is kept private, with no ad trackers, accounts or tracking, and iCloud sync is described as encrypted.
The app is made by an indie developer who has meditated daily for years and built it for his own practice. Apple Watch support is listed as coming in 2026.
