## What is NowGong?

Five times a day a real alarm rings – at random times, even when your iPhone is silent. You start 90 seconds of stillness, a gong ends them. That's all. And that's the point.

NowGong is not a meditation library. No courses, no voices, no account. Just a ritual that interrupts your day – short enough to always fit, frequent enough to change something.

HOW IT WORKS
– Real alarms: cut through the silent switch and Focus
– Random times inside your daily window – or fixed times if you prefer
– 90 seconds of stillness with a gong at the start and the end
– A grace period instead of pressure: starting shortly after the alarm still counts

YOUR RHYTHM
– Gongs: several parallel rhythms with their own sound, color, and times (Pro)
– Time windows per weekday, quiet hours, a pause button for loud days
– Focus filter: decide per iOS Focus whether the bell rings, reminds quietly, or stays silent

KEEP GOING
– Daily ring and streak – strict, mild, or off
– A joker repairs a broken day
– Statistics: minutes, rates, mood, times of day, "from alarm to stillness" (Pro)
– Check-in after the gong: mindful minutes and state of mind in Apple Health

PRIVATE
No account, no tracking, no ads. Your sessions, statistics, and check-ins stay on your iPhone. Only when you use the feedback form do you send us a message – voluntarily, without an account.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.2 — 2026-09-17

Follow-up stability fix after an iPhone restart: in rare cases settings could still reset to defaults when the alarm woke the app before the first unlock. NowGong now reads nothing while data is locked, checks the settings file directly, and never writes defaults over existing data. Your sessions were never affected.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-17

Important stability fix: if the alarm woke the app after an iPhone restart before you had unlocked it for the first time, it couldn’t read your settings and looked freshly installed. NowGong now waits briefly until your data is available – nothing gets overwritten anymore. Your sessions were never affected.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-15

Our biggest update yet: NowGong now speaks ten languages. New: milestones – the app celebrates your waypoints (100 gongs, 30 days, an hour of stillness …) with shareable cards; find the overview behind your streak. Also: due sessions can be postponed once by ten minutes, and onboarding now asks for your time window.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-14

By popular request: the closing gong is now selectable per gong – same sound choice as the alarm, with preview. The default gong is a bit more present. Also: clearer alarm settings, a note about lead time for fixed times, and the keyboard in the time picker can now be dismissed easily.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-10

Clearer Pro overview and small improvements.
