Private by design
A Private Meditation App — No Account Required
Timefully is a private meditation app: no account to create, no social feed, and your session history stays in your own iCloud on iOS or on your device on Android. Download it and start sitting — nothing to sign up for, nothing to share.
What is Timefully?
Timefully is a simple, distraction-free meditation timer for self-directed meditators — people with an established practice (Vipassana, Zen, mindfulness, mantra, breathwork) who don't want guided audio or a social feed. The timer is free, with no account, ads, or trial limits, on iOS, Android, and the web. Timefully Pro adds statistics, mood tracking, tree growth, and sync for $2.99/month, $11.99/year, or $24.99 once (lifetime). It is rated 4.8★ across 2,000+ App Store reviews, used by 40,000+ meditators, and built in Sweden.
Meditation is one of the most personal things you do with your phone. What you felt after a sit, what you wrote in your notes — that isn't material for a feed, and it shouldn't require an identity.
No account, ever
Timefully never asks you to register — not to use the timer, not to track sessions, not to upgrade to Pro. Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play like any other app purchase. The free online timer at timefully.co works without sign-up too.
Where your data lives
On iOS, your sessions, notes, and moods stay in your own iCloud — the same private storage your photos and notes use, under your Apple ID, not ours. On Android, your data is stored on your device. Data export (CSV/JSON) on iOS means your history is always yours to take with you.
No feed, no followers
There is no social layer in Timefully — no profiles to browse, no activity to broadcast, no community metrics. It's a timer and your own practice record, nothing else.
Private by default, not as a setting
Privacy here isn't a toggle to find — it's the design. No account means there is no profile of you to build.
If open-source matters to you specifically, Medito (a nonprofit, donation-funded guided app) publishes its code — a genuinely good option for guided practice. For unguided practice with deep private tracking, that's the space Timefully is built for. If you want community around your practice, Insight Timer does that well; Timefully is deliberately the quiet option — see the full comparison.
