What's New in Ensō | Meditation Timer & Bell

3.1.0

July 2, 2026

The Mindful Cat is back! Your little meditation companion returns, by popular request. Switch it on in Settings, under Meditation End, and it will be waiting at the end of every sit with a quiet "Well done." Prefer a simpler finish? Leave it off. It's yours to choose. This update also makes your practice more dependable: • Your timer keeps running with the screen off. Lock your phone, settle in, and trust your bells to ring right on time. • Hide the countdown or the progress ring again. If you like a calm, distraction-free screen, those settings now do exactly what they say. • Steadier, smoother sessions all around. Ensō is shaped by your emails. Thank you for every note, idea, and kind word. Please keep them coming. We read them all, and we love hearing what would make your practice better.

Great lightweight app to time my meditation practice. Simple and to the point. Exactly what I want.

Excellent Meditation App

I’ve been using this meditation app since it came out. It’s very straightforward, no stereotypical graphics of buddhas or lotus flowers, a settings screen for premeditation countdown, total meditation time, interval bells to spark concentration, and end bell. You can purchase additional bells with the whole bell set if you choose. I bought a double Japanese temple bell so I know when the bell signals the end of meditation. You can customise bell choice for beginning, interval and end bells. The bell recordings are excellent! Other options allow for more customisation and some cutesiness. The developer is extremely responsive!
Thanks Fascinative.

Love the upgrade!

I’ve been using the app for years, as I love the simplicity. Some of the design and features were starting to look old and not work, so glad it’s had a bit of an update!

Why Did You Kill the Cat ?

Excellent app. Truly 5-star. I’ve been using it for years. It’s simple, clean, and well-structured. The redesign is disappointing — a bit clinical and soulless. And I miss the cat that appeared after every meditation session! Bring back the cat!
