How it works
What is a passive timer? +
A passive timer runs in the background without requiring your attention. AtLeast uses haptic taps — gentle vibrations on your wrist — to mark intervals, so you can keep your eyes closed during meditation or stay focused during breathwork without ever checking a screen.

Why did my taps stop? +
Usually because you've reached your minimum duration. The silence is intentional — it means you've done enough, and you can keep going as long as you like. When a session ends, AtLeast tells you which way it went: Reached your minimum, or Ended early if the session stopped before your minimum (for example, when the app was closed). It never shows how much time was left.

Why is there no countdown? +
That's the whole idea. A countdown invites you to watch the clock. AtLeast shows no countdown, no progress ring, and no elapsed time while you practice — just gentle taps until you've reached your minimum, then silence.

Why doesn't AtLeast alarm when it finishes? +
That's by design. The absence of taps is the signal. No alarm means no interruption to your flow state.

Can I use AtLeast with the screen off? +
Yes. AtLeast runs as a background session on Apple Watch, so the taps continue with your wrist down and the display off.

Can I change how the taps feel? +
Yes. Each timer has a tap interval and a haptic strength, with six strengths from gentle to max. Tweak them before you start, or save the combination as your own timer with AtLeast Pro.

Apple Watch & iPhone
What devices are supported? +

Can I use AtLeast without my iPhone? +
Yes. The Apple Watch app runs on its own. If your iPhone is nearby, the companion lets you pick a timer and follow the live session — but it is never required.

Can I use AtLeast without an Apple Watch? +
Yes. On your iPhone, switch the destination from Apple Watch to This iPhone and the session runs on the phone, tapping from there. The Watch is still the best eyes-free experience, because the taps are on your wrist.

What does the iPhone app do? +
Choose a timer on your iPhone and start it on your Apple Watch — your iPhone mirrors the live session in real time. You can also run a session on the iPhone itself, create your own timers, and look back on your History. Settings, AtLeast Pro, and the analytics toggle live on the iPhone too.

Does AtLeast work offline? +
Yes. Timers run on your device with no internet connection required — perfect for airplane meditation, remote locations, or simply staying disconnected. Your timers and History catch up through iCloud the next time you're online.

Your practice
Is AtLeast good for cold plunge sessions? +
Yes. AtLeast suits cold plunge because you can keep your eyes closed and focus on breathing while gentle taps mark your intervals. It works offline on your Apple Watch, with an optional iPhone companion when you want to follow along.

Can I use AtLeast for breathwork? +
Yes. AtLeast taps at one steady interval, which pairs naturally with box breathing — a 4-second interval taps at every phase change. For uneven patterns like 4-7-8 or Wim Hof rounds, use a short steady interval to count against. Eyes closed, fully present.

AtLeast Pro
What does AtLeast Pro include? +
Pro lets you save your own timers, shows your session history — streaks, weekly count, and total quiet minutes — and unlocks the five additional Session Types (Mind & Body, Flexibility, Cooldown, Core Training, and Traditional Strength). Mindful Minutes and Yoga stay free. AtLeast records every session you finish whether or not you have Pro; Pro shows them to you. Everything else — the haptic timer, saving to Apple Health, the iPhone companion — stays free. Pro is $0.99/mo, $9.99/yr with a 7-day free trial, or $49.99 once — the one-time purchase is the AtLeast Founder edition.

How do I restore or manage my purchase? +
On your iPhone, open Settings. You'll find Restore Purchases, Manage Subscriptions, and Redeem Offer Code there. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Once Pro is active on your iPhone, your Apple Watch unlocks too.

Health & History
Saves finished sessions to Health on your device. Write-only, never read. Privacy
Does AtLeast save sessions to Apple Health? +
Yes, when you want it to. Each timer has a Session Type that decides how a finished session is saved: Mindful Minutes, or a workout such as Yoga, Flexibility, Cooldown, Core Training, or Traditional Strength. Leave the type off and nothing is written. The first time you pick a type, Apple Health asks for permission to share mindful sessions and workouts together — that is why a meditation timer mentions workouts. AtLeast only writes to Health and never reads it; the record stays in your own Health app and never goes to BrightDigit or anyone else through Health. Saving to Health is free — Mindful Minutes and Yoga are included, and AtLeast Pro unlocks the other session types.

What is History, and do my sessions sync? +
History lists every session you finish, grouped by day, with streaks and quiet minutes. AtLeast records your sessions whether or not you have Pro; Pro shows them to you. Your timers and History sync between your devices through your own private iCloud, which we cannot access.

Privacy
Does AtLeast require an account? +
No. AtLeast works right away with no account and no sign-up — even for AtLeast Pro. Just open the app and start.

Does AtLeast collect any data? +
Very little, and nothing for advertising or tracking. The apps send anonymous, cookieless usage statistics and crash reports, which you can turn off with the Analytics & crash reports toggle in Settings. Purchases are handled with an anonymous ID, and your timers and History sync through your own iCloud. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
