Hey everyone! I'm looking for #TestFlight beta testers for the #iOS26 update of Zenitizer: a minimal, yet customizable meditation timer for iOS.

All iOS versions are welcome, as I also want to ensure that the app remains backwards compatible 🤗

5 Underrated Apple Watch Features I Love

The Apple Watch is known to be a great fitness tracker, and as a way to manage notifications from the iPhone. But it is quite a bit more than just that. In my experience using the Apple Watch Series 10, I've come to really enjoy some of its more under-discussed features.

These are features many of you requested in one form or another and I really wanted them ready before #WWDC, so I'm happy they are available now.

Thanks for your wonderful feedback and to everyone who was part of the TestFlight group for this!

Big update shipped today! (v 1.14)

🎚 Volume Mixer: bells too loud or too quiet? Tweak bells vs. background sounds as you like

⛈️ Set the default background sound - or use custom sounds per routine

👨‍🎨 Completely redesigned sound picker: prettier, handier and more accessible!

You can meditate anywhere in daily life. Especially whenever you’re waiting for something, it’s a great opportunity to be mindful instead of scrolling on your phone 😁

Recharge yourself while you're recharging your car! 🚘 🔋🧘

#EV charging breaks are such a great opportunity to do a quick #meditation during road trips!

Completed my daily @zenitizer goal and feeling ready to continue the journey now!

Two years ago, Zenitizer launched on the App Store, and I want to sincerely thank you all for your support!

Every subscription, every positive review, every repost, or recommendation to a friend makes a huge difference, and I am incredibly grateful. 🙏

Thank you and happy meditating 💚

A picture with balloons and confetti in the background and a phone showing a screenshot of the daily goal screen. The displayed streak has a count of 731 days. The exact number one would have if you started meditating with the Zenitizer exactly two years ago without interruptions. The text underneath the screenshot reads: "Celebrating two years on the App Store."

Also, I’d like to give a big shoutout to everyone who sent me suggestions for new sounds - thank you 🙏

Zenitizer App @zenitizer.bsky.social · Apr 11

Introducing the "Sound of Meditation" update with many new and improved interval bells and five new soundscapes.

I really hope the new sounds will bring you lots of joy and enhance your meditation practice!

Hey, all 👋 The previous update (version 1.12.1) contained a bug that crashes the Zenitizer watchOS app for some configurations.

I'm really sorry this slipped through my testing and wanted to let you know this is fixed in Zenitizer 1.12.2 (if not, please let me know 😉)

Happy Meditating 🙏

Yes, we tend to have no or very small “marketing budgets” so word of mouth helps us A LOT!

It’s truly appreciated 🙏 ☺️

Thank you for saying that! Fun-fact: Zenitizer is also written in SwiftUI 🤓 😉

Zenitizer App @zenitizer.bsky.social · Nov 29

I (that is @manuelkehl.bsky.social) originally had the idea for the app because I was looking for a distraction-free meditation timer to aid my own practice.

Hearing from others who regularly use it and have made it part of their meditation routine brings me so much joy ☺️

Thank you 🙏

Zenitizer App @zenitizer.bsky.social · Nov 29

Awww, thank you so much! 🧘🪷
