Mindfulness Bell
authentic ratingA flawless concept: a mindfulness bell at random intervals reminds you to pause during the day. Those for whom it works use it for years. The core background-sound-on-a-schedule function is unreliable on most devices.

About the rating
Store rating 4.60 vs real rating 3.24, a significant gap driven by a real and documented problem: the bell stops ringing in the background with 'Do Not Disturb' on, after updates, or for no apparent reason. Complaints are specific and reproducible across different iPhone models. Not inflation: a product with a non-functioning core feature.
Strengths
What users love
- Minimalism without pressure. Random intervals between bells as a more honest attention model than a fixed timer. The bell sound is described as harmonious and soothing.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Background playback is unpredictable on most devices. No pitch selection. Settings sometimes reset and require a daily restart.
Who it is for
A mindfulness practitioner willing to spend time on setup and tolerate instability in exchange for a simple subscription-free tool.
