Tips & Tricks

🎙️ Customize Sage's Voice

You can change Sage's voice by going to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices on your iPhone. Download different voices to find one that feels most calming to you.

🔄 After AI Updates

When Zen receives an update that improves the AI model, you may need to delete and reinstall the app for the changes to take effect. The AI model is loaded when the app is first installed, so a simple app update may not refresh it.

Enable Apple Health in Zen's settings to automatically log your mindful minutes and track your emotional state over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Zen require Apple Intelligence? +

Zen uses Apple's on-device AI (Apple Intelligence) to power conversations with Sage. This ensures complete privacy—your conversations never leave your device. Devices without Apple Intelligence cannot run the AI model locally.

Is Zen available on iPad or Mac? +

Currently, Zen is only available on iPhone. While other Apple devices support Apple Intelligence, we felt the iPhone form factor is best suited for the personal, private nature of anxiety support conversations. iPad support may come in a future update.

Are my conversations with Sage private? +

Absolutely. All AI processing happens entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your conversations are never sent to any server, never stored in the cloud, and we have no ability to access them. They exist only on your device.

Does Zen work offline? +

Yes! Since Sage runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence, you don't need an internet connection to use Zen. It works anywhere, anytime.

Can Zen replace therapy or professional help? +

No. Zen is a wellness and self-help tool, not a medical device or therapeutic service. It's designed to help with everyday anxiety moments using evidence-based techniques. For clinical anxiety, depression, or mental health crises, please seek professional help.

How do I change Sage's voice? +

Sage uses your device's text-to-speech voices. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices on your iPhone. You can download additional voices for different languages and styles.

What's the minimum age to use Zen? +

Zen is rated 13+ in most regions. This app deals with anxiety topics that we believe are more appropriate for teenagers and adults. For more details, see our Age Suitability page.

Why isn't the AI responding correctly after an update? +

If you've updated Zen and notice the AI isn't behaving as expected, try deleting and reinstalling the app. The AI model loads when the app is first installed, so updates to the model may require a fresh installation to take effect.
