ZenPace is an ambient session-management app built for therapists, masseuses, and practitioners who need to stay on schedule without breaking the atmosphere. STAY IN FLOW Instead of jarring alarms or constant clock-watching, ZenPace lets you curate a seamless soundtrack of relaxing music with soft, harmonic gongs at the exact moments you need them. These gentle transitions signal when to move to the next phase of a treatment — without disrupting your client's experience. VISUAL SESSION BUILDER Design your sessions with an intuitive visual timeline. Add gongs at precise timestamps, name each segment (e.g. "Head & Neck", "Back Work", "Cool Down"), and preview sounds before committing. Use smart presets to quickly create evenly-spaced intervals.
