Papanca is a meditation timer designed to support your practice without getting in the way. No accounts, no subscriptions, no distractions — just a simple, focused tool for sitting.

Why Papanca?

Most meditation apps want to guide you, track you, or sell you something. Papanca takes a different approach: it gives you the tools you need for self-guided practice and then steps aside.

Set a duration or meditate open-ended. Add interval bells if you want gentle reminders. Save presets for your regular sits. That's it.
