Meditate at your own pace. ZenMonkey brings together a simple self-guided timer, gentle bells and a record of your practice. With Apple Watch, you can also review heart rate changes during your sessions. [ Record and Reflect ] ○ Free-form or timed practice, with Apple Watch support. ○ Review individual sessions and the calendar in Journey, and your practice rhythm in a dedicated Trends tab. ○ See today's and the past seven days' practice in Home Screen widgets. Unrated records use the default green. ○ Share a session and revisit weekly and monthly reports. [ ZenMonkey Pro · Body & Mind Awareness ] ○ Read existing HRV (SDNN) and resting heart rate from Apple Health, with 7-, 30-, 90-, 180-day and one-year views. ○ Review personal reference states, rings, change bars and period baselines, without a numeric health grade. ○ View practice records alongside body measurements. Associations do not establish cause or prove practice effects. ○ Glance at HRV references in Home Screen and Watch-face widgets; tap a Watch widget to open practice. ○ Choose optional HRV awareness practice reminders. Member shares can include the session's recorded heart rate chart. ○ Keep long-term practice insights and optional iCloud sync. [ Health Connections You Choose ] HRV is off by default and needs membership, Health reading permission and existing measurements. Refresh reads existing data; it does not take a new measurement. Control mindful-minute writes, Watch workout saves and Health reading separately. Turning off writing does not delete existing Health records. The basic timer does not require Health access. [ Personal References ] HRV and resting heart rate depend on measurement context and other factors. States and trends support personal reflection, not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, continuous stress monitoring or emergency assistance. [ Membership and Terms ] Monthly and annual subscriptions and lifetime access are available. Prices and conditions appear on the purchase screen. Manage subscriptions and auto-renewal in your Apple account settings. Lifetime access does not automatically cancel an existing subscription.
