Create personalized meditations built around you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose what you want support with 2. Answer a few short questions about your situation 3. Your personalized meditation is created in seconds Press play and begin. WHY ZENTRD IS DIFFERENT Most meditation apps offer large libraries of pre-recorded sessions. Zentrd creates a meditation designed around your specific experience. During setup, the app asks thoughtful questions about what you are going through: for example what triggers the feeling, how intense it is, how often it happens, and what situations are most challenging. This background information helps create a meditation that speaks directly to your situation. Your session can also be adjusted through your preferred session length, voice and background sound, creating an experience that feels personal, relevant and supportive. WHAT ZENTRD CAN HELP WITH • Anxiety: Calm racing thoughts and return to a steady, grounded state. • Stress: Release mental tension and reset when life feels overwhelming. • Sleep: Unwind gently and drift into deeper, more restful sleep. • Confidence: Strengthen self-trust and quiet the voice of self-doubt. • Self-worth: Build a kinder relationship with yourself. • Visualization: Step into the life you want to create and align your mind with it. • Mental reset: Take a short moment to slow down, breathe and reconnect. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your responses stay private and are only used to create your meditation experience. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Zentrd is free to download and offers limited access before subscribing. Creating personalized meditation audio requires a subscription after any available free trial. If you choose a subscription, payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the time of purchase confirmation. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings after purchase.
