Zenso Meditation Timer

Zenso is a simple meditation timer app with a twist. Instead of just a countdown timer, Zenso draws an animated Zen Enso (circle) as the session time elapses. This gives the meditator an easy glimpse of how much time has elapsed. A countdown timer is optional.

The Zenso Meditation Timer includes:
- optional start session countdown time
- six instruments, silence or vibrate for session start/end indicators
- instrument can have 1-3 strikes

Version 2.0 of the Zenso Meditation Timer is a Universal App which works with any iPhone or iPad with iOS6.0 or higher though the interface changes were made with iOS7 in mind.

The Zenso Meditation Timer is being released as a FREE app with no ads. I have other features that I left out of the initial release and may begin charging for the next version.

Interval glitch, no support
bluestgrey

The interval bell works only on percentage, not by time count. Unfortunately, no app support. Otherwise a nice and simple timer.


Perfect mediation timer
Alex Dam

Minimal with no distractions. Absolutely perfect.


Thank you very much

I’ve been looking for a basic meditation timer without all of the bloat and unnecessary features. This also works with Do Not Disturb enabled. A plus is being able to connect to the health app to automatically log my time.


Simple & peaceful

It’s a meditation timer. Perfect for that job.


Perfect- except for the color scheme
Bono kanamp

Functionally it is perfect. The color scheme is too harsh imho. Either gray and black on blinding white. If you invert the colors like I do it’s still white on black. If you could choose a more calming or subdued color it would be perfect! Borrow the color scheme of Ensō for instance...


Interval bell does not work
mudponygirl

Set it for five minute intervals and it did not work....vey disappointing.


Quite nice
Penobscot waters

Perfect simple app. One suggestion: allow a subdued background color, both to be more in keeping with calmness, and to be less disruptive to melatonin levels when used at night. Thanks.


Truly Zen friendly
Zenman

Simple, uncluttered, with very lovely instruments. You can choose among several instruments and adjust the number of times they are struck at both the beginning and end of the session. Also has an interval timer, which is helpful for anyone who combines different techniques during a single sitting (for example, breath-following and loving kindness, or open monitoring and concentration practices). Set-up is simple and intuitive.


The Best!
Ccrellin

It is beautifully simple. A soft meditation bell or enlivening chime. Set a time, start, and sit. No intrusive guided meditation, or nothing else added—as mindfulness sitting should be. Get it, use it. You’ll need nothing else.


THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best app of this type. No gimmicks, no commercials. Super easy to use. I have used many others. This is the best one. In the spirit of Zen, no clutter, simple, clean.
