Zen Home - Japanese Meditation

About

Built in Japan by a Zen practitioner. No guiding voice. No program to follow. No goal to achieve. Zen Home is a meditation app rooted in Japanese Zen Buddhism — Soto and Rinzai traditions. While other apps pile on content and guided sessions, Zen Home strips everything away. What remains is what Zen has always been: silence, a bell, and you. THE PRACTICE - Zazen Timer — Set 3 to 60 minutes. A bell marks the beginning and end. Nothing else. - Susokukan — Count your breath from one to ten, then return to one. An ancient practice to anchor the mind. - Posture Guide — Five cards teach you the essentials: how to sit, where to place your hands, where to rest your eyes, how to breathe, and what "just sitting" truly means. DAILY ZEN - Zen Word — A new zen word every day. Each comes with its meaning and reflection. - Koan — A weekly koan from Zen masters. A question that logic cannot answer — holding it is the practice itself. Daily hints deepen your understanding over seven days. YOUR JOURNEY - Stone Garden Calendar — Each day you sit, a stone is placed in your karesansui garden. The empty days are not failures — they are space. - Statistics — Monthly and all-time sessions, total time, and days practiced. Your streak is shown quietly, without pressure. ATMOSPHERE - Three ambient soundscapes: temple morning, rain garden, bamboo grove. - Interval bells to mark the passage of time during longer sits. - Haptic feedback for breath counting. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Most meditation apps add. Zen Home subtracts. No guiding voice. No achievements to unlock. No content to consume. Zen asks for nothing — you sit, and that is all. The practice is the practice. Built in Japan, by someone who sits. ▼Privacy Policy https://zen-home.org/privacy-en ▼Terms of Use https://zen-home.org/terms-en
