- Worth noticing
- The directory says each center is checked against its own website, and visitors can suggest missing centers.
Field notes
The described timer uses three bells to start a sit and one to end it; a second format inserts slow walking between two sitting periods. The page says the center directory checks each listing against the center’s own website and invites visitors to suggest omissions. It also describes optional Apple Health writing for mindful minutes, while stating that the app never reads from Health.
