What's New in Ensō | Meditation Timer & Bell

3.1.2

October 11, 2026

Sit with your own soundtrack again. Music, guided meditations, and videos from other apps can now keep playing while Ensō keeps time. Turn on Mix with Other Apps in Settings › Audio Player. It's off by default: Ensō keeps the steadiest time in the background when it plays on its own. If your timer ever pauses while mixing, simply turn the setting off. Thank you to everyone who wrote in about this. We heard you.

User reviews

Simple, fit for purpose meditation timer.

I have been using. Ensō for about 3 years. I just wanted a meditation timer with a peaceful gong sound that I could set at whatever time I wanted. Ensō delivers exactly that, and a bit more too, if you want that. I like that it has a set up time, to get ready to meditate before the start gong sounds, and a mid - session gong to keep me focused or let me switch to a different meditation type. Timings of all these fully adjustable. App presentation is clean and easy to learn. Well done!

Actualización

Después de años usando esta app con música propia o sin ella … ahora si quieres escuchar música has de ser Premium. De lo contrario se cierra el reproductor. Mejor no actualizar.

An exceptional meditation app and phenomenal customer service

This is by far the best meditation app I have used and I have tried them all!!! It is ultra streamlined, enjoyable and easy to operate, and customisable to suit my needs. It is such a well built, seamless app that has stayed on my phone for many years as it's one of those apps that functions well with no unnecessary frills but does exactly what I need.

When I had a query and contacted the development team, I was pleasantly surprised to receive some of the kindest and most helpful customer service I have ever had the delight of experiencing! They were sweet and extremely generous and kind.

I am truly smitten with this app, and now interacting with the team behind it and seeing the care and consideration they pour into their customer service, I am thrilled to continue using this app as the cornerstone of my meditation practice forever.

Also, have you seen the benefits of meditation?? Insane. Highly recommend that, AND this app 😉
