3. Tap Add Timer

4. Tap "+" button at the top-right corner

5. Select your preferred time duration

6. Close out of the Timer window
   
   iOS NOTE: If you're listening to a meditation or story, you can simply scroll down and toggle the Close app after ending option at the bottom of the meditation or story detail page.
