About Ensō: Zen Sounds & Sleep
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. ■ Free to try ・Preview every sound (5 min per session, up to 60 min/month) ・Background playback included ・No ads, no signup required ■ Premium for deeper time ・Unlimited playback of all sounds ・Early access to new sounds ・7-day free trial ■ Authentic field recordings ・Night rain of Mount Koya ・Suikinkutsu of Kyoto ・Forests of Amami Oshima ・(More to come) ■ Shaped by your voice Your reviews and feedback help us add new sounds and features.

What’s new
Version 1.0.8 · Updated June 28, 2026
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). - Subtle new animations and a few bug fixes. A little each day — fill your circle.
