There are some basic stats (which you can access by tapping on the raindrop icon) that show things like your current streak, longest streak, total practice, average session, and total time. Once a session begins, the circles pause their rotation and slowly move inward before the meditation actually begins. Once your session is done, it simply returns back to the initial screen.īefore you start the timer, there is a soothing animation with circles that rotate. No background noise, no voice guidance - just a simple timer.
Instead, you see the circle slowly fill in a clockwise direction to indicate visual progress. There is no actual countdown in Center (which I like). You simply set the duration for your session and tap the button in the middle to begin. How it WorksĬenter is an incredibly simple app. So he created Center, a free mindfulness meditation app. But as a meditation practitioner I believe mindfulness shouldn’t be something you have to pay for.

You can read the full version here, but basically, creator Tanner Christensen (an experienced meditator) didn’t like how most of the mindfulness app on the App Store had large costs or hidden in-app purchases.Īs an independent app developer I understand the importance of making a profit to support an app. I find the story behind Center fascinating. What I landed on was Center Meditation Timer by Tanner Christensen. While I still think Headspace is a great option for most folks who want guided meditations, I recently embarked on an App Store quest to find a simple meditation app 1) without a guide that 2) has a clean UI and 3) integrates with Apple Health. One thing that struck me about this “book” is that the type of mindfulness meditation Chris champions is simply focusing on your breath. This obviously only works up until a certain point, but this statistic has rekindled my motivation to make mindfulness meditation a regular practice again.
The short version is that you gain back an average of 7 minutes for each minute you spend meditating.

I recently re-read (listened?) the Audible Original How To Train Your Mind by Chris Bailey about the productivity benefits of mindfulness meditation.
