Your weekly plan in one place.
Several time windows per gong, each with its own weekdays – all day, mornings only or across midnight. Duplicate a window and adjust it.
A moment in your day · For iPhone
A moment for yourself.
Remembered for you.
Your day is full. One moment in it belongs to you. Several times a day, NowGong reminds you to take 90 seconds of stillness. You start your pause; a gong brings it to a close.
A real alarm, even when your iPhone is silent or in a Focus. No account, no tracking, no ads.

How it works
A little space. Right in the middle of your day.
Choose what fits your day.
For each gong, set the weekdays and time windows in which it may ring – even across midnight. NowGong spreads the reminders at random within them. Fixed times work too.
Your alarm reminds you.
A real alarm rings, even when your iPhone is silent or in a Focus. You don’t have to start right away: within the start window – 30 minutes by default – your pause still counts.
Take your moment.
If you like, your intention appears first – a personal sentence for each gong. Then breathe, sit quietly, look out of the window. After 90 seconds, the gong sounds. You can choose a different duration.

A glimpse of your next pause.
A reminder. A moment to yourself. Then your day continues.
The 90-second pause is shortened in the film. Sound only starts when you play the video.
Read a description of the film
A woman pauses during her working day. NowGong reminds her with a sound, and the real app shows the pause timer running. She puts down her phone and takes a quiet moment. A gong brings the pause to a close. The final invitation: try NowGong free on iPhone.
Made for everyday life
Your rhythm. Your moment.
Quiet when you need it.
Pause reminders for the rest of the day or until you turn them back on. For each iOS Focus, decide whether the bell rings, reminds quietly or stays silent. Shortcuts can pause NowGong automatically – in the Driving Focus, for example.
Progress without pressure.
Your streak can be strict, mild or off – you decide. A joker repairs a missed day. Your pauses count either way.
At a glance.
The widget shows your daily ring and streak on the Home and Lock Screen – and stays up to date even on days you don’t open the app.
Pass on something good.
Share your weekly card or a milestone as an image whenever you feel like it. Both are free – no Pro needed.
A moment to check in.
An optional check-in records your mood locally. With your permission, NowGong also writes mindful minutes and your state of mind to Apple Health. Statistics (Pro) show minutes, rates, mood and times of day.
App screens use sample data. Statistics and multiple gongs require Pro; the weekly card is free.

Your moment stays personal
No account. Your pauses on your iPhone.
NowGong has no account, no tracking and no ads. Pauses, progress and mood check-ins are stored locally. The app does not read Health data; only with your permission does it pass mindful minutes and your state of mind to Apple Health. You decide whether to share a card or send us feedback – with a diagnostic attachment if you wish.
App privacyQuestions about NowGong
Good to know.
Do I need meditation experience?
No. Make the pause your own: breathe, stretch or look out of the window. There are no courses or voices you need to follow.
Does NowGong ring when my iPhone is silent or in a Focus?
Yes. NowGong sets real iPhone alarms that ring even with the silent switch on or a Focus active. The app needs your permission to set them. For each Focus you can choose whether the bell rings, reminds quietly or stays silent – in quiet mode you get a notification instead of the alarm.
Can I change the duration and reminder times?
Yes. Ninety seconds is a starting point, not a rule. For each gong you set several time windows with weekdays, even across midnight. Within those windows NowGong reminds you at random – or at fixed times if you prefer.
What if I can’t start right when the alarm rings?
You have a start window – 30 minutes by default. While it runs, you can still begin your pause. If several gongs fall close together, the sessions – that’s what the app calls your pauses – wait as a stack of cards, and you take them one after another.
What is stored, and what goes into Health?
Your pauses and optional mood check-ins are stored locally on your iPhone. With separate permission, NowGong also writes mindful minutes and your state of mind to Apple Health. The app does not read data from Health.
What if an alarm does not ring?
In NowGong, open Settings → Alarms and check that alarm permission is granted and alarms are enabled. Also check Pause, your time windows and Focus filters. When sending feedback from the app, you can choose to include a diagnostic log.
Does NowGong run on iPad, Apple Watch or Android?
No. NowGong is currently available for iPhone only, with iOS 26 or later.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You can use NowGong for free. Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription; the annual plan is an optional alternative. Pro supports Family Sharing.
