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.

Nothing comes close
Best timer ever. Thank you for your generosity
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!
Best Mediation Timer
What a treat to see a beautiful reskinning of this, the only meditation app you need. There is no fluff, just a minimalist set of functionality to enable your journey. Thanks for your work guys!
simple and perfect.
nice design, beautiful sounds, integrates with Health App, and doesn’t try to upsell you anything. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Love it.
Crashes when trying to change sounds—but still very good
I really like this simple timer—so nice to set your parameters, then next time you open it, just press “begin.” I used to use Insight Timer, but these days you have to click through pages of money-grabbing bloat. The only problem I have with Ensō is that it crashes whenever I try to change any of the sounds. Otherwise I’d give it 4 or 5 stars.

Problems
There are some good ideas in this app, but major issues as well. Most serious, the app pauses under certain circumstances, eg a reminder goes off. Second the UI is not great. Hard to set the numbers. Dark colours.
Incredible
I love this app!
Perfect!
This is simply a perfect app that does exactly what is needed. It deserves more attention and praise
Very good!
Good app! Easy, convenient, well designed without useless staff, only the ones you need. Statistics is recorded if you move to a new device properly! Recommend to everyone, who is looking for the meditation app!
Love the beautiful simplicity
I use this app every day to do my standing meditation. Love the circular timer, the visual simplicity of it. Keep it out there!
Meditative app for meditation
I have used enso for many years for my morning sits. I love the visual simplicity - from the icon to the time adjuster. There is nothing to distract you or disrupt you calm on your way to the cushion. The optional smiling zen cat at the end is a welcome lighthearted touch. I am leaving Apple for a pixel and was really sad to see I have to get a new meditation app. So I realized it was time to leave a review! Thanks for all the good years! Highly recommend.

The test of time
I have used this timer for years and years. The intervals keep me on target with my meditation sessions and the chimes are just perfect for my needs and preferences. No problem with sneaking a look at the clock or worrying about the time; it’s all about my practice.
Mixed feelings about Ensō
This is a nice, simple app that does what it says it will—mostly. However, every time I attempt to change the bell type (Settings>any category>Bell Type), the app immediately crashes and closes. If they ever fix this, I would be more than happy to send some money the developers’ way.
simple and effective
I love this app. Simple and effective esp for a TM practice. Love the tracking feature. No distractions. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Enso is great!
I have been using this app for a number of years and it is extremely helpful in my meditation practice. I don’t know what I would do without it. Thanks Enso!!!
Bell stopped after a week and crashes
Always crashes and no longer makes the sounds. When opening bell settings app crashes. Reinstalled etc with no luck.
