Enso is a calm, minimal Pomodoro timer for iPhone β inspired by the Japanese ensΕ 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 β just you and the work in front of you. Keep it in view, everywhere β’ Live Activity β watch the countdown on your Lock Screen without unlocking. β’ Dynamic Island β glance at the time remaining right from the top of your screen. β’ Home Screen widget β see your session and start or pause it with a single tap, in two sizes. Why you'll love it β’ The Pomodoro method β focus sessions, short breaks, and a longer break after every cycle. β’ Beautifully minimal β a single ring of ticks, clean typography, and one calm vermilion accent. β’ Light, dark, or system β the app, widget and Live Activity all match your choice. β’ Made yours β adjust focus, break lengths, and sessions per cycle. β’ Gentle by design β an optional chime and a soft haptic when a session ends. β’ Private β everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no data collected. Focus, the calm way.
