Center app

No guides. No voices. No music.
Just a precise, cross-platform timer for mindfulness as it's meant to be practiced.

What Center is

Center is a simple, reliable application for mindfulness meditation.
The app supports consistency, ritual, and long-term practice without trying to motivate, instruct, or entertain you.

It is designed for people who already meditate or who want to practice without being guided.

How practitioners use Center

Most sessions begin the same way: One tap. Silence. A bell when needed.

Some people track sessions over time.
Others never look at stats.

Some practice with intervals.
Others sit uninterrupted.

Center adapts to your practice, not the other way around.
