Zen: Meditation Timer is designed around a simple practice: choose a duration, sit, and return to silence. The timer includes traditional bells, optional soundscapes, intervals, and warmup or cooldown time. For people who want guidance, the app offers short guided sits organized around everyday situations, while keeping its central timer experience free according to the developer. Apple Watch support, Home Screen widgets, and Live Activities help start or follow a session without keeping the phone open. The developer says the app has no ads, streaks, or account requirement. The US App Store lists a free download, though the description does not fully detail optional purchase terms for every guided feature. Meditation apps can support a personal routine but should not be treated as a substitute for professional mental-health care.
