ZenFlow is a calm place to plan your day, capture ideas, understand your money, and track your health โ€” redesigned as one flat, uncluttered view instead of a stack of separate cards. YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE Open the app to a Daily Brief: what needs attention now, your nutrition/BMI/cycle/spending signals, and quick capture for a new event, expense, or note โ€” no digging through tabs. SCAN A MEAL Photograph a plate and get an AI-assisted estimate of calories and macros, ready for you to review and adjust before saving. Track daily targets and recent meals from Home. CALENDAR THAT REMINDS YOU PROPERLY Week and month views, conflict warnings for overlapping or back-to-back events, and reminders that show up as alarm-style Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (iOS) โ€” countdown, time, and one tap back into the app. Track your menstrual cycle alongside everything else, with period, ovulation, and fertile-window predictions. MONEY MADE CLEAR Log income and expenses with tags and categories, set budgets with rollover, and see spending trends, a map of where you spent, and a subscription tracker that reminds you before renewals hit. Attach a receipt photo to any transaction. NOTES THAT KEEP UP One editor for rich text, freehand sketching, voice memos, and inline photos โ€” not three separate tools. Lock a note with Face ID or a password, import a PDF or Word doc to mark up, and search everything instantly. A WEEKLY REVIEW, FREE Every week, ZenFlow surfaces two wins, one thing that needs attention, and one commitment for the week ahead โ€” worked out entirely on your device, no account or AI call required. ASK ZENFLOW Ask what's on your schedule, how much you've spent this month, or your nutrition today โ€” or ask ZenFlow to add an expense, event, or note for you. Every change is confirmed before it saves, with a short window to undo. DESIGNED TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY A flat, distraction-free interface in Light and Dark mode, tuned typography, and no card-on-card clutter. Free to use, with an optional Pro upgrade for deeper Reports, unlimited exports, and ad-free use. Health and wellness features are for personal tracking and general informational purposes only. They are not medical advice and do not diagnose, treat, or replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Always consult a doctor about any health or medical concerns. AI-assisted estimates (meal scanning, reflections) are a starting point for you to review, not a guaranteed-accurate reading.

About

Clair Mind

WHAT CLAIR MIND IS A private, local-first notes app. You capture a thought, it gets filed and titled for you, and over time you can see how your notes connect. Notes, notebooks, tasks and search all work fully offline and on-device. SIGNING IN โ€” PLEASE READ The app offers Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google only; there is no password-based login, so there are no demo credentials we can supply. Please tap "Sign in with Apple" and use your own Apple ID โ€” account creation is instant, free, and requires no payment. Everything except the AI features works WITHOUT any account. You can install, capture notes, create tasks, browse notebooks and search with no sign-in at all. The AI features require an account because each request costs us money per call and is metered per user. Signing in is free and includes 1,000 words of AI per month at no charge. WHERE TO FIND EACH FEATURE - Capture a note: the round "+" button, bottom right of any tab. Type, then Save. The note lands in "Unsorted". - Create a task: same "+" button, then tap the checklist icon at the bottom right of the sheet to switch from note to task. - Ask AI: the "Ask" tab, centre of the bottom bar. Type a question about your notes. Requires sign-in. Past conversations are behind the history icon, top left of that screen. - Connections: open any note, then tap the flower icon above the note body. - Notebooks: the "Notebooks" tab. Tap any notebook to see its notes. - Tasks: the "To-Do" tab. Tap a list to open it; tap the circle on a row to complete it. - Your activity, plan and settings: the "Me" tab, then the gear icon, top right. FREE VS PRO - Free, after signing in: the entire app, plus 1,000 words of AI per month. - Pro (auto-renewing subscription): a much larger monthly AI allowance and voice capture (the microphone in the capture sheet and in Ask AI). - The paywall appears when the free AI allowance runs out, and from the "Unlock AI with Pro" row on the Me tab. - Restore Purchases: Me tab โ†’ gear icon โ†’ Account. ACCOUNT DELETION Me tab โ†’ gear icon โ†’ Account โ†’ Delete Account. It is a press-and-hold confirmation, then the account and its server-side data are removed. PRIVACY Notes live on the device. When you use an AI feature, the relevant note text is sent per-request to our AI provider to generate that one response; it is not stored server-side and is never used for training. This version adds analytics covering the first-run setup flow only, including a screen recording of onboarding with all typed text and images masked; recording stops before you reach your notes. Both are declared on the privacy label and in the app's privacy manifest, and described at https://clairmind.ai/privacy.
