Age Rating Overview
Recommended Age: Zen is rated 13+ in most regions. We voluntarily chose a higher age rating because the app addresses anxiety and mental wellness topics that we believe are more appropriate for teenagers and adults.
Regional Age Ratings
Age ratings may vary by region based on local regulations. Users will see the rating applicable to their country or region on the App Store.
Why 13+?
Zen addresses topics related to anxiety, stress, and mental wellness. While the content is designed to be supportive and calming, we believe these topics are best suited for users who have the emotional maturity to engage with discussions about:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Stress management
- Social anxiety
- Performance anxiety (public speaking, exams)
- Sleep difficulties related to stress
Apple's recommended age rating for apps like Zen could be as low as 7 or 9, but we voluntarily chose 13+ to ensure users are teenagers or older.

Parental Guidance
For Parents: If your teenager uses Zen, we encourage open conversations about anxiety and mental wellness. Zen is a wellness tool that provides calming techniques, not a replacement for parental support or professional help.
Parents should be aware that:
- Zen allows users to discuss anxiety-related topics with an AI
- All conversations are private and stored only on the device
- Sage provides supportive responses but does not provide medical or psychological advice
- The app includes safety guidelines to handle distressing input appropriately
- Zen is not a substitute for professional mental health care

- Gently guides users toward calming techniques
- Maintains a supportive, non-judgmental tone
