## What is ZenMonkey?

Every practice is a gift you give to yourself.

ZenMonkey is a minimalist mindfulness companion for self-guided practitioners. In the midst of noise and distraction, it offers a quiet space to return to your breath, your body, and the present moment.

[ About ZenMonkey & the “Monkey Mind” ]  
In many traditions, the “Monkey Mind” describes a restless, wandering mind — thoughts leaping from branch to branch, never staying still. ZenMonkey takes this metaphor as its core, making the practice journey more tangible. When you drift away, the inner monkey grows agitated; as you return and stay with your practice, it gradually settles into calm. The goal is not to eliminate thoughts, but to meet them with awareness and gently “tame the monkey.”

[ Who Is ZenMonkey For? ]  
- Practitioners who already have some mindfulness or meditation experience and want a quiet, self-guided space.  
- People who prefer long-term, low-noise, sustainable practice woven into daily life.  
- Anyone who feels pulled by anxiety or racing thoughts and wants a simple way to come back to the breath and the body.

Whether in the morning, during a short break, or before sleep, ZenMonkey can be your small, steady practice corner each day.

[ Why ZenMonkey? ]  
◆ Distraction-free sessions  
No coaching or constant pop-ups. ZenMonkey offers a clean practice screen with gentle bell chimes at the start, optional intervals, and the end — so you can fully sink into your own awareness.

◆ Integrated with the Apple ecosystem  
With your permission, ZenMonkey uses HealthKit to unify your mindfulness minutes across the Apple ecosystem. Both in-app sessions and supported Apple Watch “Mindfulness” data can contribute to a single long-term practice record.

◆ Heart rate insights (with Apple Watch)  
With Apple Watch and the proper permissions, ZenMonkey can access your heart rate during sessions. This helps you observe subtle changes in your physiological state and sense how the body responds as you practice. You can still use all core practice, journaling, and history features without a watch — Apple Watch simply adds deeper physiological insights.

◆ Privacy & Security  
Your practice notes and calmness ratings are stored on your device and in your private iCloud container. We do not run our own servers for this data and cannot access your personal records; your practice remains yours.

[ ZenMonkey Pro – Deeper Insights ]  
Unlock richer long-term perspectives on your practice:  
○ Practice trends: See how your practice time, frequency, and rhythm evolve over time.  
○ Heart rate reviews: Look back at heart rate changes throughout each session.  
○ iCloud sync: Keep your practice history aligned across your Apple devices.

[ Not for Medical Use ]  
ZenMonkey is designed to support mindfulness, meditation, and self-care, helping you cultivate awareness and relaxation. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency intervention, and it is not a substitute for professional doctors, therapists or other healthcare providers. If you are experiencing serious physical or mental health difficulties, please seek professional help.

[ Subscriptions & Auto-Renewal ]  
ZenMonkey Pro is offered as a subscription that unlocks advanced features such as practice trends, heart rate insights, and iCloud sync. Monthly and yearly options are available.

If auto-renew is enabled, your subscription will automatically renew and be charged to your Apple ID account within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in iPhone Settings under “Apple ID > Subscriptions,” including turning off auto-renew. After cancellation, Pro features remain available until the end of the current paid period, then revert to the features included in the free version.
