1 hour meditation timer
A soft bell every 20 min for 1 hr, then one to finish.
What this one is for
The one-hour meditation timer marks twenty and forty minutes with interval bells, then ends at sixty. Choose an hour because it fits your practice and circumstances, not because a longer sit is a score.
Arrange a comfortable position and allow yourself to move when needed. Do not wait for a bell to respond to pain or numbness. For a shorter session, change Session length or choose one of the related timers below.
Good for
- A planned hour of practice
- Three twenty-minute sections
- A longer session with optional check-ins
How it runs
A soft bell every 20 min for 1 hr, then one to finish. Press Start, or hit Space. The phase word and icon above the progress bar tell you where you are.
Start, interval and end bells have independent switches. Only enabled bells play; interval bells do not restart the session clock. Sound off mutes audio, though supported devices may still vibrate.
Keep the page visible for cues. The timer requests an awake screen, but the browser can refuse it or delay background sound. For offline use, load this exact page online and test a reload without a connection before relying on it.
Change the settings before starting. Durations use minutes. This page opens with its preset each visit; the main timer page remembers your valid settings.
Common questions
What does the bell sound like?
It’s one soft tone made in your browser. Over the hour you’ll hear it three times: at twenty, forty and sixty minutes. One strike always marks the end of one twenty minute part.
Should I move if my legs go numb?
Change position rather than waiting for a bell. If numbness or pain persists or concerns you, seek appropriate guidance. A timer cannot assess the cause.
Can I change the interval?
Yes, above the Start button. Thirty minutes gives two halves, and fifteen gives four quarters. Set it to 60 to hear only the end bell, and turn on Start bell if you’d like one at the beginning.
Will my phone last the full hour?
Battery use depends on the device, brightness and other activity. Check charge before starting and test the setup you intend to use.
