Mindful Notifier Mental Health app for Android description
Mindful Notifier is a simple mindfulness-based app which displays a notification reminder at user-configurable intervals. It is another take on a Mindfulness Bell, with the addition of accompanying text to provide added context to the mindfulness reminder.
The reminders are taken from a configurable list, and are chosen at random at each interval. The reminder interval can either be periodic (in intervals aligned to the top of the hour, down to a 15 minute granularity) or random (between a selected range of minutes).
Some default reminders are provided as examples. You can add, edit, or remove these default reminders as you like.
There are 5 different bells included, and you can also configure your own custom bell from your phones local storage.
This app works very well in conjunction with a smartwatch. In this mode you can also mute the bell to have silent mindfulness prompts throughout your day.
