New Ensō — first public beta. It was shared on Show HN in 2025 and received 251 upvotes on Hacker News. The new version of Ensō (codename: Occult Vampire Keanu) is available for public testing! Download it here This is a temporary icon I used for testing. here's the original image (on potato.horse , of course) What's included Following MISS , my focus is on removing distractions over adding new features. how do I tell users about feature X or Y without breaking their flow?) but also gives me time to focus on polishing the app. 5½ Accessibility-friendly themes to choose from We have 6 5½ predefined themes focussed on accessibility and specific use patterns based on feedback I've collected over the years. Is there a specific use case or theme you'd like to see in Ensō? Coffeeshop Mode™ This is one of the few truly new features in Ensō. Coffeeshop mode allows you to stop worrying that someone standing behind you might see what you're typing. The text itself is concealed but you still know what you're writing. The text is easy to read, but also somewhat softer (though not blurry). Less is more, so why do I care about it? Fewer features allow me to focus more on what is there. The ones who messaged me still bought the app, but I imagine there were many who turned back. AppStore with all its flaws makes delivering apps... I can add OTA updates and re-publish Ensō via Gumroad later, which makes sense as an iterative improvement. I like to think that I have a fairly good idea of how and why people use Ensō. Now, by design, no network traffic is made at all. Each option, each new choice is a chance for you to get distracted, so the key is to do this thoughtfully and with respect towards my users' time.
