Morae — Redesigning How Meditators Experience Timekeeping

A Screenless Timer Built for Stillness

Morae is a haptic meditation timer designed to solve a fundamental contradiction — every existing timing solution creates the exact distractions meditation is meant to eliminate. Phones, kitchen timers, and apps all introduce sensory interruption at the moment practitioners need silence most.

The result is a screenless, globe-shaped device that communicates entirely through subtle vibration and soft chimes. Sessions are configured by touch before practice begins, then the device disappears into the space until it signals completion.

Developed across three design reviews spanning ideation, SolidWorks modeling, and full technical specification, Morae is currently moving from CAD into physical prototype.
