An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A 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.

O.k., you've set up your life so you are living more spiritual. You meditate, send out good thoughts, try to eat right. And at the same time you live in the real world. As you go into work you tell yourself that you WILL take a breath throughout the day. This bell makes that happen.
