ROYL Meditation Timer

For iPhone. Free. Requires iOS 18 or later.

A meditation timer. Open the app, tap a preset, and sit. Bells ring on schedule, even with the screen locked and the silent switch on. Each session is saved to your history when it ends.

What it does

  • Presets with a duration, an optional warm-up, and start, interval, and end bells.
  • Keeps running with the screen locked. A Live Activity shows elapsed time on the lock screen.
  • History grouped by day, with your streak and totals.
  • Saves sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes, if you turn it on.
  • Exports your history as a CSV file.

What it doesn't do

No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. The app makes no network connections, and everything it stores stays on your iPhone. See the privacy policy.

How I build software

Software should solve a problem. I don't want to spend any more time in an app than it takes to finish what I opened it for.
