Description
About
Bodhi Timer is an elegant, minimalist countdown timer. It is designed mainly for use as a meditation timer but can easily be used for any similar purpose. This app is developed as open-source software. It collects no data and uses the minimal permissions necessary.
How to use π· Set the time via the clock icon in the top left. You may set presets by choosing a time then holding down on one of the three preset buttons. π· Pause / resume via the button in the bottom left, and stop the timer via the button in the bottom right. The top right button is the preference button. π· Animation may be toggled between an image and one of four circle animations, chosen from the preferences screen. π· It uses Android's built-in notification system to trigger the alarm, which means it works even when your device is asleep.
Features • minimalist full screen UI, no clutter • displays two animation types: fade in static image (defaults to Bodhi leaf) and animated Zen Enso (brush circle) • option to use custom image for fade in • uses scroll and fling gestures to set the time • set up to three presets on the time chooser • option for timer auto-restarting • option to set multiple consecutive timers via the "adv" button • speech recognition via long-press on clock button (set multiple timers separated by the word "again") • includes different meditation timer sounds (Burmese bell, Tibetan bell, Tibetan singing bowls, Zen gong, and bird song) • option to use any ring tone as timer sound • option to use custom sound file as timer sound • licensed under the GPL 3+
Credits • Some code is based on the free and open source TeaTimer by Ralph Gootee. • The Enso image was drawn by RyΕnen GensΕ (1646-1711). Next to the Enso she has written: "When you do understand yourself fully, there is not one thing." • Singing Bowl Low sound Recorded by juskiddink Licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0

Simple and can set my own sounds. Can't get start sound to play, works when testing and if I stop the timer straight away I can hear the start sound finishing. So it's playing but muted for some reason. Otherwise, perfect.

This Bod hi Timer is simple as needed, just start and stop. Small app size, run small battery, no requirement unnecessary permission. But the most important thing, "timer sound" will be rung, if the app set to be "not optimized" in battery setting. I play ini 30 minutes and auto-restart, unfortunately when reach an hour, and check the real time, It's actually 1 hour 10 minutes. Maybe developer can fix more accurate timer for next upgrade, and Bod hi Timer will be The Best Simple Meditation Timer

Great, simple, useful timer. I recommend using the advanced settings for multiple timers.

I added this timer for its repeat function, but repeat is very random and unreliable. Otherwise it functions o.k.

I have used this app for at least 6 or 7 years on a DAILY basis... Up until a few days ago I would have given these 5 stars. A few days ago something changed, and it is now absolutely UN workable. I am now unable to set a timer for anything less than one hour, I don't like the new type font which makes it look like a sports timer. Can't figure out how to simply set a timer for a couple of minutes. Totally confusing Please please please go back to the original format which was just perfect.

I've been using this slick timer app for years. I stupidly let my phone update it and now it's unusable. Really irritating! I'm glad I saved my APKs from my old phone (word to the wise, if you have an app that you really like!).
