New sessions use the Sleep program, shown as Deep Rest. Your earlier session history remains available. DreamPhones is a companion for your everyday relaxation and wellness routine. Connect a compatible DreamPhones headset to control guided sessions, choose your breathing cues, and keep track of your sessions over time. YOUR SESSION, YOUR CHOICE Choose spoken breathing guidance, instrument cues, or a completely silent session. Use the included session audio or your own music when you want sound. Bluetooth audio connects separately from headset controls, with setup guidance when needed. Available connection options depend on your headset and firmware. OPTIONAL WELLNESS DATA Connect a supported DreamPhones Ring to view available heart-rate, sleep, and activity data. With your permission, Apple Health can also provide supported wellness measurements. A ring is optional: sessions show a simple countdown when no fresh heart-rate reading is available, and switch to the heart-rate view when a reading arrives. SESSION HISTORY AND SOPHIE Review your session history and available wellness trends. Chat or speak with Sophie, an AI wellness companion, and choose whether to share wellness context for more relevant conversations. IMPORTANT TO KNOW A compatible DreamPhones headset is required for device-controlled stimulation sessions. Ring readings require a supported ring or an available permitted data source. Some features require an internet connection. Device availability and features vary by model and firmware. DreamPhones is for general wellness, relaxation, and sleep support. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Wellness readings and AI responses are not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional about medical concerns and follow the device instructions.

Niko is a companion app for your Tesla: every control the car already has, plus the record it does not keep. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ YOUR CAR, IN FULL — AND FREE • Lock and unlock, frunk, trunk, charge port and windows • Next to the car, lock, unlock and climate go straight to it over Bluetooth • Climate: warm or cool the cabin before you get in, seat heaters, steering wheel, defrost • Charging: start it, stop it, set the limit, set the amps • Sentry mode, valet mode and speed limit • Where it is parked, with the address, on a map you can open • Tire pressures against the car's own targets, warranty, recalls and software version • Plan a trip from where the car is now, on what is actually in the battery — with the stops it would have to make, how long each one takes, and what you arrive on • Live battery readings: volts, amps, charge rate, time until full, and what a parked car quietly loses while it sits The controls are free. On Free, Niko can wake a sleeping car five times a day; Plus and Pro have no limit. NIKO PLUS — THE RECORD Your car keeps almost nothing. Niko watches while the app is closed, so there is something to look at when you open it. • Wake the car whenever you need to • Every trip from the last three months: distance, efficiency, and where it started and ended • Every charge from the last three months, and what it cost on your rate • A Live Activity for charging and climate, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Alerts that need watching between visits: charge started and finished, low battery at a level you choose, cabin ready, left unlocked, low tire pressure, a slow leak forming over days, service due, and software updates • Automations: rules that run while the app is closed • Up to two cars NIKO PRO — WHAT THE PACK IS DOING Everything in Plus, plus what your battery has done over time. • Every trip and charge, kept for good • Pack capacity, measured from charges Niko watched end to end, and how it has changed • Charge cycles • The S3XY Commander scanner, which reads the car's own CAN buses — the 12 V battery, every individual cell, the cooling loop — none of which comes from Tesla's API • The driving display: your iPhone shows your speed, the speed limit, turn signals, blind spot and more • Charging in the cheapest part of the night, on your rate • Up to five cars ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch app • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center controls • Siri shortcuts CAREFUL BY DEFAULT • Niko wakes your car only when it has to. A sleeping Tesla keeps its range. • Face ID or a passcode on the app itself • Passkeys and two-step verification on your Niko account • Fifteen languages Niko reads your car through your Tesla account, and acts on it with Tesla's own key — adding the key takes one tap, near the car, with the Tesla app installed.
