iPhone
Authentic Japanese soundscapes, recorded on location. And a calmer practice you can actually keep up.
Ensō brings together real field recordings from across Japan—night rain at Koyasan, the suikinkutsu water chime of Kyoto, the forests of Amami—together with a meditation timer and a way to build the habit.
◆ Meditation timer: Choose your length and a background sound, with temple-bell chimes to open and close your sitting. Pause anytime.
◆ Real sounds of Japan: Rain, wind, water and temple bells, recorded in Japan's temples and sacred places.
◆ My Meditation: Track each session, keep a streak, and watch your "ensō" circle fill day by day—with a gentle daily reminder.
◆ Guided meditation (narrated in Japanese): Zazen and mindfulness sessions in authentic Japanese.
Bring deep rest and quiet focus into your everyday life.
Ensō is still a young app, and we'll keep growing and evolving together with you. We'd love to have you along for the journey.

This update is all about making the habit easier to keep.
- New Records tab — see your total days and a monthly calendar at a glance. We've softened the pressure of streaks.
- Choose when your ensō completes — 7, 14, or 30 days. Go at your own pace.
- Meditation notes — after you sit, jot down your mood and a word or two (kept only on your device).
- Reflections — gentle charts show how your mood shifts and when you tend to practice.
- A cleaner layout — Records, Meditate, and Sounds are now clearly separated.
- Try a sound free for 24 hours by watching a short ad.
- A new app icon (celadon green and a golden ensō).

A little each day — fill your circle.
