Presets & Segments

Presets let you save your favorite meditation configurations and start sessions in one tap. Segments let you structure your practice with warm-up, main meditation, and cool-down phases.

What Are Presets?

A preset is a saved configuration that includes:

  • Duration – Total duration or per-segment duration.
  • Segments – Warm-up, meditation, cool-down (optional).
  • Bells and sounds – Start, end, and interval bells.
  • Background – Timer background preference.

Presets appear on your home screen for quick access.

Creating a Preset

  1. Tap the + or Add Preset button.
  2. Give your preset a name (e.g., "Morning 10 min").
  3. Set the duration for each segment or the total.
  4. Configure bells and sounds (optional).
  5. Tap Save.

Your new preset will appear on the home screen.

Understanding Segments

Segments divide your session into phases:

  • Warm-up – Short period to settle in (e.g., 1–2 minutes).
  • Main meditation – The core meditation time.
  • Cool-down – Transition out of your practice (e.g., 1–2 minutes).

Each segment can have its own duration and optional interval bells.

Enabling or Disabling Segments

  1. Open the preset for editing.
  2. Toggle Warm-up or Cool-down on or off.
  3. If you disable both, you'll have a single-segment session.

Tip: For short sessions (under 10 minutes), a single segment is often enough. For longer sessions, segments add structure.

Setting Segment Durations

  1. Edit your preset.
  2. For each enabled segment, set the duration (e.g., 2 min warm-up, 15 min meditation, 2 min cool-down).
  3. The total duration is the sum of all segments.

Note: You can set each segment to 0 to effectively skip it.

Open-Ended Sessions

For sessions without a fixed end time:

  1. Edit or create a preset.
  2. Enable Open-ended or Count-up mode.
  3. The timer will count up until you stop it manually.

Use case: Ideal for free-form meditation, breathwork, or when you prefer to stop when it feels right.

Reordering Presets

  1. Tap Edit or long-press on the presets area.
  2. Drag presets to reorder them.
  3. Tap Done to save the new order.

Your most-used presets can appear at the top for quick access.

Editing Presets

  1. Tap and hold a preset, or tap the edit icon.
  2. Modify any settings (duration, segments, bells, sounds).
  3. Tap Save to apply changes.
