Still Hours
Ambient stillness with a single soft bell on the hour — time-keeping for people leaving their phone in the other room.
Meditation apps solved guidance but created a new problem: your timer lives on the most distracting object you own. Still Hours is a broadcast alternative — continuous quiet ambience, a barely-there clock, and one soft bell at the top of each hour.
Use it for open-ended sits, yoga, journaling, or just tea by the window. The hourly bell gives structure without alarm-clock violence; the clock is there when you choose to look, invisible when you don't.
The sound layer is deep, slow ambience from our library — no melodies to follow, no builds, nothing to anticipate.
FAQ
Why a bell on the hour?
It's the gentlest possible timekeeping: enough to mark the passage of a sit, soft enough to ignore. Monasteries figured this out centuries before push notifications.
Can I meditate to this if I'm a beginner?
Yes — it pairs well with any guided practice you already know. Think of it as the room, not the teacher.
Will there be interval bells (every 10/20 minutes)?
We're considering a second program with quarter-hour chimes for timed practice. Tell us what interval you'd use.
