## About

Return... (the store name is "Return... Meditation Timer") is a deliberately minimal meditation timer for people who already know how to sit. You choose a length, a room and a bell, and the app gets out of the way. There are five rooms: Water, Fire, Forest, Silence, and Music. The Music room plays Still Rooms, an original album of ten pieces written and recorded for the app by Dream of Electric; every piece is a 5.1 mix, so on AirPods with Spatial Audio the music sits around the listener, and on Apple Watch it plays through paired headphones. One purchase, $9.99, no subscription.

## Key Features

- 5 to 60 minutes; three bells (Singing Bowl, Temple Bell, Soft Chime) rung once, twice or three times
- Repeat once, a set number of times, until a time of day, or until you stop
- Five rooms with a background sound for each, or none
- Still Rooms: ten pieces in order while you sit, Spatial Audio on AirPods
- Mindful Minutes logged to Apple Health; settings and session history across devices through iCloud
- Widget and Live Activity for the sit in progress
- Choice of app icon: the album's glass cube, the water drop, fire or forest
- Made for iPhone Duo: one immersive canvas, two compositions (closed and open), the fold confines the pieces rather than adding a layout
- 27 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew with mirrored layouts
- No account, no ads, nothing sold; anonymous crash reports and usage counts that can be switched off in Settings
