## What is iSage?

iSage is an offline study companion for Zengguang Xianwen (Augmented Wisdom of the Sages). It is not a quote wall. Today's Wisdom, bilingual reading, sage notes, life scenes, Sage Academy, recitation, favorites, and system shortcuts form one daily loop. iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No account, ads, or tracking. Data stays on device. Optional iCloud syncs favorites, lists, notes, mastery, and streaks.
