What's New in Tōki

2.0.0

October 2, 2026

• Sitting sequences. Plan a session of sitting periods with walking meditation between them, and Tōki will carry you through it — bells at every boundary, even with the screen locked. • A gentler closing bell. On iPhone the bell at the end of a sit now sounds at the same volume as the opening bell, without a vibration, and rings out in full — and it sounds even with your ring switch set to silent. • Nothing lost. A sitting that finished while Tōki was in the background could go uncounted — the bell rang, but the session was never recorded. That's fixed. And if you've allowed access to Apple Health, your streak and totals can rebuild themselves from the sittings already recorded there. • Plus a widget that now works on far more iPhones, and various fixes.

User reviews

Just the right amount!

The Toki timer ushers you right to the heart zazen…. Just sitting, with “Things as it is” (Shunryu Suzuki). Beautiful in its simplicity like the practice itself. “Just the right amount” of options for eyes and ears to be gently, and elegantly released from sound and form….Gassho.

Exactly right

The meditation timer I’ve been looking for. Simple, elegant.

Simplicity

No bells, no whistles. Just sitting.

More than just a clock

Other apps give you a timer. Toki gives you a zen do. This is clearly the work of someone who practices what they build.
