Thanks for your app!

It would be great to have a countdown/timer before the meditation starts. Some kind of preparation timer. It would be useful in cases where I still need to prepare. Let's say I put my phone on a certain place in the room, hit start, then go to my cushion, make myself comfortable. I would like to have the option to give myself 2 minutes for that before the actual session starts.

Hi! There is a "Start delay" option in the settings which does what you need. Currently it's only up to 1 minute. Do you think we should allow for more? Also, if you hadn't seen that option, do you think maybe the name "start delay" wasn't very intuitive?

Indeed it is there! Thank you for pointing that out :)

For me that's most likely enough

I'm not sure why I missed that setting. The Interval duration I found easily. Might have been just my mistake! What I could imagine would make it slightly more obvious is to display something like "seconds" "minute" after the number to make it more obvious. But I think in this case I just overlooked it.

Yeah, I'll see if I can make it a bit more clear. Thanks for the feedback!
