Lotus Bud Mindfulness Bell Completely Redesigned!

Propel your meditation practice from the cushion into the world.  Modeled after a practice in Buddhist monasteries, Mindfulness Bells are a powerful practice to remind you of your intention to be mindful. Activate the Mindfulness Bell and it sends you gentle reminders of your intention for your practice through the day.

Turn it on, then as you're going about your day, a bell and notification will remind you to be mindful of what you're doing at a random intervals between half an hour and an hour and a half. Great for reminding yourself of your mindfulness practice while at work, commuting, at school.

New in Lotus Bud Mindfulness Bell 2.0:

  • Completely rewritten and redesigned for iOS 7
  • Continuous Mindfulness Bell Scheduling
  • Quiet Times to silence the bell when appropriate as an in-app purchase

There's no need to re-open the app every day. Thanks to new features in iOS 7 we're able to schedule and keep on scheduling mindfulness bells without needing to re-open the app. Just launch once, turn the mindfulness bell on and you're good to go.

You want the Mindfulness Bell reminding you to be mindful, but not all times are the right time to do that. Now you can schedule Quiet Times when you need a the Mindfulness Bell to be silent. Schedules can be created for any day or days of the week and for any time with an in-app purchase.
