A timer for silent meditation. Set it up once, the way you want it, then sit.
While is a timer built to support your practice and stay out of the way. No guided sessions. No content library. No AI.

While is in closed beta on iOS. If you have a sitting practice and want a timer built for it, you're welcome to sign up.
You'll receive a TestFlight invite when a spot opens.
Configurable sounds and intervals. Super-dark mode so your timer doesn't light up a darkened room. It shows the time when your session will end so you don't need to do math before you sit. A non-numerical display so your session doesn't feel like a countdown. Session history that simply logs your practice. Your session data is saved to your iCloud account, not mine.
I've been sitting for 25 years, with a year accumulated in monastic retreats. While comes from that practice. It's the second product from Within, alongside Upon, a folding meditation bench released in 2021, currently sold out.
