One bell to start, one to finish — a 1-minute sit with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
A one-minute sit is the smallest useful unit of practice. It is short enough that you have no excuse to skip it on a hectic day, and regular one-minute sits build the habit that longer sits grow from.
Try linking it to something you already do daily — after coffee, before opening your laptop. One bell to start, one bell to end, nothing else to configure.
Choose your bell and interval options above, press Begin, and close your eyes. The 1-minute timer starts immediately after a short preparation countdown, opens with one bell strike, and closes the sit when time is up. Keep the tab open — the timer keeps accurate time even in a background tab, and on laptops it can keep the screen awake while you sit.

Yes. The timer is anchored to the clock, not to the tab, so background tabs do not slow it down. Audio plays when the interval or closing bell fires.
You can choose a Tibetan bowl, a zen gong, or a soft chime, and add optional interval bells every 1–10 minutes. All sounds are synthesized in your browser — there are no audio files to download.
