Quiet Machine
A meditation timer that celebrates stillness by deliberately showing as little as possible.
Overview
Quiet Machine is a web-based meditation timer with no progress bar, no streak count, and no notifications — just breath and a slowly fading ring.
Approach
- Single-screen interface, zero onboarding
- Ambient audio synthesized locally with WebAudio
- Fully offline-capable after first load
Outcome
A quiet hit: 200K sessions logged in year one, entirely by word of mouth.
