## What is Zen Courtyard?

Discover calm you can customize
Zen Courtyard transforms a quiet corner of your iPhone into a living Zen garden you design yourself. Plant miniature bamboo, rake shimmering sand, or set a tranquil pond under moonlight—all rendered in gentle, hand-painted 3-D.

Daily wisdom from an AI-powered Buddha
Tap the golden Buddha to ask life questions, request a one-minute breathing guide, or save a favorite kōan to your journal. Conversations run on-device with privacy-first AI, so your reflections stay yours.

Features
Build & decorate – 40+ unlockable stones, lanterns, bonsai and seasonal backgrounds.

Buddha Chat – real-time answers, gratitude prompts, and sleep stories.

iCloud sync – your garden and chats travel across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

In-App Purchases – optional Zen Points bundles let you expand your sanctuary faster; everything is earnable through daily practice.

Why users love it
“The AI Buddha feels like a pocket monk.”
“Five minutes arranging stones calms me more than any timer-based meditation app.”

Accessibility & privacy
VoiceOver labels, haptic feedback, and color-blind palettes included. No ads, no third-party trackers; chat logs stay encrypted locally.
