Vipassana: Meditation Timer is a practice companion with fixed-length guided sessions that begin with a tap. The timer continues when the phone is locked, and the app logs session time automatically when a sit ends or is stopped early. Users can join consecutive-day challenges that progress through 10, 20, 50, and 100 days, enable a daily reminder, and review a calendar and lifetime practice total. Optional ambient sounds include rain, forest, ocean, and waterfall, while downloadable instructions cover Vipassana and Anapana practice. The developer says there are no accounts, ads, social feeds, or collected data, and that progress syncs through the user's iCloud. The US App Store lists a free download, but the listing does not clarify whether all guided content is free. Meditation tools support a routine but are not a substitute for medical or mental-health care.
