Mindfulness bell and meditation timer for your practice of mindfulness

MindBell rings periodically during the day as a mindfulness bell, to give you the opportunity to hold on for a moment and consider what you are currently doing, and in what state of mind you are while you are doing it. According to the Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, this is an effective means of developing mindfulness.

Additionally MindBell can be used as a meditation timer.

On devices of some brands (e.g. Honor, Huawei, Xiaomi) MindBell stops to remind after a while. You have to exclude MindBell from battery optimzation on such devices. For more details please take a look at http://dknapps.de/mindbell-battery/.

On devices of some brands (e.g. LG, Samsung) the option 'Pause audio on sound' prevents MindBell from playing any sound. This option has to be disabled on such devices.
