Banditate is a meditation timer which pairs with your Microsoft Band to notify you of phases using haptic vibrations. We wanted to create an app that didn't distract with noise, but gently reminded you of your meditation phase with various vibration pulses.
Banditate is preconfigured to use a specific set of timings which are common to one of the most famous forms of meditation, similar to teachings by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Simply launch the app from your phone or via Cortana to begin. No further interaction with the app or Band is required. However, you may choose to configure a custom length for your main meditation.
- You may immediately begin your meditation. You may also use the Setup option to configure meditation length for this and future sessions.
- After 30 seconds, you'll be notified with a short vibration. At this point, you can begin meditation on your mantra. This defaults to 20 minutes, or your configured length described above.
- After meditation and transcendence, you'll be notified with two vibrations, as if tapping you briefly on the wrist. At this point, you can keep your eyes closed and begin your final 2 minute period of awakening.
- When your meditation session is complete, you'll be notified with a longer vibration, analogous to a long chime from a meditation bell.
- You may be requested for completely optional permission to monitor your heartrate and provide a post-meditation summary of average rate, maximum, and minimum. This feature is experimental and is not guaranteed to work with all Bands or device pairings. Heartrate information is not stored or transmitted to the developers or any other party.
Please note that if you do not have a Microsoft Band, the application will show visual cues, but will still not make any noise.
