Free Meditation Timer

60-minute meditation timer

One bell to start, one to finish — a 60-minute sit with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

10:00

Why 60 minutes?

One hour of stillness is a commitment — a monthly deep sit, a self-led retreat session, or the anchor of a serious daily practice. Nothing on this page pushes you toward it; the timer simply holds the hour accurately while you do the work.

Hour-long sits deserve preparation: decide your posture and interval setting before you press Begin, and let the start bell mark the point of no distraction.

How to use this page

Choose your bell and interval options above, press Begin, and close your eyes. The 60-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.

Common questions

Is this 60-minute meditation timer really free?

Yes — every timer on this site is free, with no account and no ads on the timer itself. Your session history is stored only in your own browser.

Will the bell still ring if I switch tabs during my 60-minute 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.

Can I change the bell sound on the 60-minute timer?

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.
