Mindfulness Bell

Very simple and easy to use with an intuitive interface. It is flexible enough so you could use it to remind you about many things that you might do on a regular basis throughout the day. I use it to just remind me to take a conscious breath now and then and like those moments to be random. Works like a charm. Gets my recommendation without hesitation.

This app more consistently rang at the appointed time than other inferior apps, but still some ptogrammed set times pass and no ring! I can't figure out the settings needed to force a ring every hour at the top of the hour. For instance, the present time just past 11am and I expected a ring. I entered the app to learn why it didn't. The app asked for a review. As I began writing this review, the app rang at 11:04. Frustrating to not be able to set a simple ring on the hour.

Nice app that does what it should, in a simple and intuitive way. I love that the bell sound plays though the headphones when connected, which is exactly what I was looking for. The bell sound is very pleasant. Great job 👍

I love the sound of the gong I use, even though there is static I can also hear. I also like that I can set the timing of it and when it's off easily. I use it to remind me to appreciate the moment. What I don't like is that, on my lock screen, there is always a banner right across the middle of the screen. I don't mind the notification dot at the top of the screen, just wish the banner wasn't always showing on the lock screen. I've read reviews and watched a video and still can't change it.

Great collection of bell sound options. Difficult to understand whether or not app is functional and in use. No clear indication that the timer has started.

Good variety of Bell sounds. Bell rings in the beginning. I wish I could configure it to only sound at the end. Ads are quite big & disruptive in the free version. I wish they were more discreet like in other free apps.

Now that I've been using this app for a few months, I'm still quite happy with it. The one glitch I've noted is that it always Chimes 5 minutes late. I have it set to chime call me before and half hour, but it consistently Chimes 5 minutes late in both cases.

Works very well and is really lightweight. I love that you don't have to keep the app open to run the bell — a huge improvement over some similar apps I've tried previously.

I installed this app when my previous alarm app became bloated with ads. The ads in Mindfulness Bell are much less intrusive. You can't turn off the alarm once it starts ringing, but I chose a short, inoffensive chime sound, which is also nice if I forget to turn it off when I go to sleep. The fact that the hourly alarm starts counting from the minute you turn it on is a good feature.

Very useful app. Specially liked the bell sound. The bell helped me as a way of gazing away from my work station every 20 minutes and also brought me back to the present.

Plain and simple, does the job. It gives 4 choices for when to silence the bell, and you can pick any or all of them: when your phone is in flight mode, when your phone is in silenced mode (do not disturb), when you're on a call, and between two times which you can set. This is an excellent little app. There are ads, but they don't bother me much. Support is excellent. (I edited this review after being contacted by Support - I didn't know you could change the times)

I am very happy with the app. I mainly use it to remind me to drink water. I appreciate the way the app handles ads, it's thoughtful and sensible. The app offers many features to the users to increase the experience. I use the lock option for a bell to the full hour, followed by custom set bells every 20 minutes. The bell sounds offer a lot of variety so everyone can find matching one. I rewrite this review due to a false statement, the app is very resourceful and does NOT drain your battery.

I like this app. I set it to chime every 20 minutes to remind me to breathe deeply. But there's a problem. You can't mute the bell when you're listening to a video or music. It's very annoying when it interrupts those, but the only way to stop it from happening is to turn the mindfulness bell off. Please provide "Mute when sound system is in use". Then you will get 5 stars from me. Otherwise I'll have to uninstall it.

I'm still trying to figure it out completely, but I love this idea to help get me back on focus. Can't figure out how to set the "do not disturb at night" part, so I just turn my phone off. I can't get it to stay on 12 hour instead of military time.

I love the simplicity of this app and I need these reminders throughout my crazy days to stop and remember that I am here in this moment. I have arrived. ;) Thanks. If more customized settings come along, that will be cool too, but this is fine!

I'm still trying to troubleshoot or fine-tune the autostart of this app. Sometimes it doesn't seem to run although all settings are checked, and I have to turn off running it then turning it on again. Otherwise it's easy to use and helpful too.

I like the app, but have one minor criticism. The sound level is controlled by the media setting on my phone, which I tend to leave turned down very low as it generally controls background sounds on things like words with friends, which I prefer not to hear. If you turn it up to play a youtube video (for example), then forget to turn it back down, the bell on the app plays very loud. If the volume could be independently controlled from within the app, this would solve the problem.

The periodic bell sound (Mine is set on Bell 6 set at 5 minute intervals) reminds me to breathe, stay mindful, and stay in a meditative mindset. I find that it calls me back to my center and helps me stay centered, relaxed, and calm. It is easy to use and has a number of choices for bell sounds. It is easily turned off and on without having to reset a lot and has a wide variety of settings to determine the length of time between repeats of the bell sound.

Almost perfect. Perfect would be the option to set an overall time (30 minutes, for example), along with an interval for the bell to ring (10 minutes, for example). Then you could have a sequence that looks like this: bell rings, 10 min bell, 10 min bell, 30 min final bell, timer turns off. That would be great.

Beautifully simple! It was easy to set up and has worked seemlessly for me on my phone. I love that there is a choice of sounds that serve as gentle reminders throughout the day and which can be set to automatically mute at night. No extra fuss nor intrusive ads (they can be disabled which is just a lovely touch!) It's well worth a cup of coffee! =) Well done!

This is the best regular chime app. I've tried a few. This one is rock solid. Fire and forget. Has a mute period for night time so just leave it running. Problem: if you restart your phone you have start the app again at the right time. It should have an ability to start at a given time. But compared to the other apps this one negative is ok (maybe this feature is good for an update topic).

Simple and useful app, without fancy frills. I'd highly recommend this for serious mindfulness practitioners focused on the essentials. You get a choice of several bell sounds, easily sampled by touching the play icon next to each sound, which then toggles to stop the demo. By default the time starts touching from when you turn on the app, but you can, if you prefer, set it to chime based on the hour, by checking the option below the interval setting. Super simple and useful app!

Hi! I like this app. I find it easy to set up and it's very helpful to hear the bell randomly during the day. I use it for not just meditation but reminding me other things too. It's way better for me than a timer app. I'd love to see a way to save settings, maybe with multiple timers, so we can use different settings without having the previous one erased. Thanks for the app!

love this app. clean and simple design with pleanty of pleasant bells and sounds to choose from. ads can be removed for free (!!), though honestly i don't mind them much cause this is a "set and forget" app so i rarely open it. great for practicing informal mindfulness throughout the day. it also helps me develop a better sense of time. the only feature I'm missing is having different sounds for different time intervals (i.e. bell 1 every 15 minutes, bell 2 every full hour) thank you!

A good app, but limiting and a bit buggy. Only one chime can be set, so there's no difference between sounds at the top of the hour and any other sound you want to set. I've also had the issue where the app just stops working for some reason, then it takes me a bit to realize I'm not hearing any chimes.

This app has everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. I need to look away from my computer every 30 minutes to prevent eyestrain and I wanted a little pleasant sounding bell to remind me at regular intervals, not go off when I'm sleeping, and run discreetly in the background. This app does all that. I like the calming meditation bell noise.
