Sit on a cushion or chair · eyes open, soft gaze · feel your body, breath and posture · no mantra, no goal · when thoughts come and go: just return to sitting.
The benefits are real: a calm mind · more focus · more clarity · better sleep · better health · less stress · more presence — the benefits show up when you stop chasing them.
Just sit. Easier said than done. Just sitting in meditation can be brutal. Most people need a little guidance. It takes a little detour: and that is just fine.
Zen : Your Way helps you explore the main meditation practices: mindfulness · zen · secular meditation · breathwork · metta — discover your own way to just sit.
It's just a meditation timer. No subscription · always free · no upsell · no signup · no ads · no streaks · no BS · optional free guidance, soundscapes & breathwork.
Native on every Apple device. iPhone · iPad · Mac · Watch · TV · Vision Pro · Apple Health & iCloud — always with you — focus on what matters: just sit.
Open the app · pick a duration · sit. Zen is a minimalist meditation timer first. The things you need and nothing more: beautiful bells · soundscapes · intervals · breath guidance · warmup and cooldown.
The library covers the basics of Zen, Metta, mindfulness, breathwork and more. Short, medium, and long sits will help you explore practices and figure out what works for you. Free and optional.

Hi, I'm Francis, a longtime iOS developer. I discovered regular meditation about 15 years ago. You see — I suffer from PTSD and meditation has helped me survive — more than once, when things fall apart.
But meditation only clicked for me with a Zen just sit practice. To get there I had to put in the time sitting — other practices, sampling, trial and error, year after year of showing up to sit.
I needed those 10,000 minutes on apps before I could stop searching and, in the end, just sit. Zen : Your Way is my way of giving back. A quiet Apple-native timer. Optional free guidance to nudge you toward just sitting. Nothing in the way.
