Enso is a calm, minimal Pomodoro timer for iPhone — inspired by the Japanese ensō circle and the idea that focus should feel effortless, not noisy. One tap starts a focus session. A soft ring of ticks fills as time passes, a gentle haptic and chime let you know when it's time to rest, and the whole thing stays out of your way. No clutter, no accounts, no distractions — just you and the work in front of you. Keep it in view, everywhere • Live Activity — watch the countdown on your Lock Screen without unlocking. • Dynamic Island — glance at the time remaining right from the top of your screen. • Home Screen widget — see your session and start or pause it with a single tap, in two sizes. Why you'll love it • The Pomodoro method — focus sessions, short breaks, and a longer break after every cycle. • Beautifully minimal — a single ring of ticks, clean typography, and one calm vermilion accent. • Light, dark, or system — the app, widget and Live Activity all match your choice. • Made yours — adjust focus, break lengths, and sessions per cycle. • Gentle by design — an optional chime and a soft haptic when a session ends. • Private — everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no data collected. Focus, the calm way.
