Keeps reliable time even when the screen is locked or you switch apps. • Pause and resume — Pause your meditation and resume later from the notification or in-app controls. • Keep screen on — Optionally keep the display on during meditation with adjustable brightness. • Light, dark, and system themes — Supports Material You dynamic theming.
