[App Idea] Meditation Timer

JamesMeacham

I'd like to see a very simple meditation app. A challenge when meditating is needing to keep track of how long you have to go or have already gone without breaking your concentration.  

This app would have two inputs: 

• Total length of meditation session in minutes (e.g. 20 minutes)
• Interval notification period (e.g. 5 minutes, which would notify/buzz ever 4 times over 20 minutes)
  

and three outputs

• A countdown or count-up timer
• A single or short buzz for the interval notifications
• A double or long buzz for session completion notification

Seems like it would be an easy do but I'm not a developer...anyone want to take a flyer at this?

Hi James,

I am interested in developing this. I've just finished my first watchface app for someone so I can get started on this one tonight.

hi @MatthewTole, if you dont mind could you post a code sample of a simple countdown app. Like, no button interaction, just when app starts it starts a 5 min countdown timer. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Salman

@SalmanAhmed Here is a very basic countdown app I just wrote: https://gist.github.com/matthewtole/5942985

Awesome man. Thanks a lot. I will have a look at it as soon as I get some free time.

Cheers dude,

@JamesMeacham I have actually now written this app for you. Sorry that it took so long. I kept having this odd bug that I couldn't seem to fix, and I got so frustrated I moved onto other projects. I don't have any screenshots of the app at the moment, but you can download the app and try it out. Also, the source code is available on GitHub if people are interested.
