Today’s practice

One practice
at a time.

Open Today, choose a practice, and start. Your photograph and one clear number give you somewhere to settle for the next few minutes.

When you reach zero, the countdown stays there. A smaller clock keeps the extra time in case you want to keep it.

Ratchet on iPhone. Today’s practice is Reading, with a five-minute target and a Start practice button.

Spaces

An hour
offline.

Give time away its own place. Create a Space for an hour without scrolling, or leave it open-ended and see how long you go.

Start again whenever you choose. Your past intervals stay in your history.

An iPhone Space called An hour offline counts down from an hour, against a sunlit courtyard.
