Qigor Timer

☯🦍QiGor Timer: meditation, taiji, qigong repeating timer, configurable, savable
February 22, 2026

It's not just a great timer.

There's another feature not available in any other android app, worth the download just for that alone.

Radiation Status:

In android OS, the wireless, airplane mode, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth on/off switches are scattered all over the place.

Qigor timer's radiation status icon, color coded,

at one glance tells you how many undesirable EMF sources are emitting from your phone at this moment.

Click on the icon, and have all the switches collected in one place.

See a green icon, you know you've shut everything off and you can nap or sleep in peace without being irradiated unnecessarily.

Other Great features not on other timer apps I'm aware of

1) Timer Intro Media and Final Alarm (can set to play mp3 or mp4 audio).

So you can set up a timer that plays a Dhamma talk before timer starts,

a timed meditation session with repeating alarms at set intervals with configurable volume,

and a final alarm to play another audio file, for example a blessings, sharing of merit chant.

and wait for acknowledgment

2) acknowledge button at end of timer session (optional switch)

What this does is keep a log of sessions that set this switch.

So it essentially is a task list you have to acknowledge and check off that you completed.

3) each timer session has editable note,

so you can jot notes of what you want to remember about your meditation session.

AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111: How does Ajahn Brahm and Sujato's "Jhāna" work here?

What these 3 suttas have in common, AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111, is the very interesting feature of explicitly describing doing vipassana, while one is in the jhāna and the first 3 formless attainments. LBT (late buddhist text) apologists, as well as Sujato, Brahm, claim that the suttas describe a jhāna where one enters a disembodied, frozen state, where vipassana is impossible until one emerges from that 'jhāna'. Since Sujato translated all the suttas, let's take a look at what he translated, and how it supports his interpretation of 'jhāna'. AN 9.36: Jhānasutta—Bhikkhu Sujato (suttacentral.net) ‘The first absorption is a basis for ending the defilements.’ ‘Paṭhamampāhaṁ, bhikkhave, jhānaṁ nissāya āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmī’ti, iti kho panetaṁ vuttaṁ. That’s what I said, but why did I say it? Kiñcetaṁ paṭicca vuttaṁ? Take a mendicant who, q uite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskill...
