About Just Sitting
Just Sitting: A Minimalist Tool for Deep Meditation
Just Sitting is a non-profit, open-source tool designed specifically for serious practitioners of meditation. It provides a clean, silent, and distraction-free space for your practice, grounded in authentic traditions like Shamatha, Vipashyana, and the Great Perfection.
Why Just Sitting?
In a world of "gamified" wellness, we offer simplicity. No guided voices, no background music, no digital noise. Just you, the bell, and the silence.
Key Features:
Pure Minimalist Timer: A sleek, dark interface designed to save battery and reduce eye strain.
Practice Journal (New): Keep a discreet record of your sessions, including duration, date, and time of day.
Essential Insights: View your total meditation time and session count without the stress of "streaks" or milestones.
Data Privacy & Control: Full Backup and Restore functionality. Your data stays on your device, and you can delete it at any time.
Wisdom Library: Integrated access to authentic teachings on traditional meditation paths.
Zero Distractions: Ad-free, offline-first, and built-in "Do Not Disturb" support to protect your stillness.
Built for the community, for the benefit of all beings. Find your seat. See clearly.
