You wake up exhausted and afraid.
The episode is over but your body hasn't caught up. The fear lingers into the next day.
Take The Tour"Zeno woke me up. Nothing else could."
Every night, millions wake up screaming, frozen, or not at all. Sleep terrors and paralysis don't respond to willpower — they respond to intervention. Zeno is the first app that detects an episode as it's happening and wakes you before it escalates.
You've tried everything. Nothing intervenes. White noise. Melatonin. Sleep hygiene tips. Meditation apps. None of them were built for what you experience. They track sleep — they don't respond to it. Zeno was built by someone who lived this — not a product team chasing a market. The only way it exists is because it needed to.
The episode is over but your body hasn't caught up. The fear lingers into the next day.
Take The TourSleep paralysis is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can have. You're awake. Your body isn't.
Take The TourYour partner. A family member. The people who love you shouldn't have to carry this every night. Zeno does the work they've been doing.
Take The TourThe anticipation was its own kind of suffering. Zeno watches the signals you can't. It changes what happens next.
Take The TourZeno monitors your body continuously while you sleep — not after the fact. When something goes wrong, it acts.
Put on your Apple Watch Ultra. Start Zeno. Sleep onset is detected automatically.
Heart rate, motion, wrist angle — tracked simultaneously across two detection paths.
Composite scoring — not a single threshold. Personalized to your body after 7 nights.
Five haptic phases. Gentle first. Full force if needed. Your Watch speaks your name.
Tap "I'm Awake." Zeno logs the episode. Record a voice journal before the memory fades.
Tap any feature to read the full story behind why it was built and exactly how it works.
Not an alarm. A calibrated escalation that pulls you out progressively — gentle pulse to full intensity. 20s per phase. Critical Alert at 120s.
Read More7 nights of baseline learning. Then thresholds unique to your body — not averages from someone else's data. Episode nights don't contaminate.
Read MorePersonal data stays on your device. No account required. Optional anonymous pattern sharing — always opt-in. Sensor data from the Watch stays on the Watch.
Read MoreVoice recording fires immediately after wake — while the dream is still raw and vivid. Tag themes. Build a picture of patterns over time.
Read MoreWhen Zeno detects an episode, it sends a signal to Apple Shortcuts — which fires your pre-configured camera automation. Zeno never sees the footage.
Read MoreSix voice commands built in. Start, stop, summary, emergency wake — all hands-free. Works from Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone.
Read MoreFull episode log. Peak windows, patterns, streaks. Calendar view. Export as PDF or CSV. The data your doctor has never had access to.
Read MoreA dedicated biosensor wearable — wrist or ankle. Higher-frequency sampling. Extended overnight battery. Purpose-built for sleep detection.
Read MoreEvery episode. Every voice journal. Every pattern. Vision Pro turns them into something you can walk through — a spatial reconstruction of your dream history.
Read MoreSleep terror and sleep paralysis are physiological opposites. Zeno has a separate engine for each — because one set of thresholds can't catch both.
Sleep terrors present with surging heart rate, increased motion, and physiological stress. The terror path looks for these signals in combination — not a single threshold, but a composite pattern that mirrors what actually happens in your body.
Sleep paralysis is the opposite — the body is intentionally suppressed. Heart rate stays normal. Motion goes to near zero. The paralysis path detects unusual stillness sustained over time, during a window when movement would normally be expected.
Veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors experience the same sleep disturbances — night terrors, hyperarousal, paralysis. For decades, the gold standard has been a psychiatric service dog. Most people can't afford one.
"Same intervention. Same result. A fraction of the cost. No waitlist."
Zeno is building a full ecosystem of sleep protection products. The app is the beginning.
The full Zeno experience on iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra. Real-time detection, haptic wake, Dream Journal, and adaptive calibration. Currently on TestFlight.
A dedicated biosensor wearable purpose-built for sleep detection. Wrist and ankle form factors. Extended battery. Higher-frequency sampling. Designed for the way you actually sleep.
Clinical-grade PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) intervention. Targets the nervous system directly during an episode. 510(k) FDA clearance pathway. The most advanced sleep terror device ever built.
The 7-day trial lets you experience Zeno working. After that, staying protected is the only decision.
"I built the detection and wake system I couldn't find anywhere else. Sleep terrors and sleep paralysis aren't abstract problems for me. They're the reason I couldn't sleep without fear for years. I tried everything. Nothing responded when it mattered. So I built something that does. Zeno began as personal necessity. It became a product when I realized millions of people had no alternative either."
From consumer sleep protection to clinical-grade nervous system intervention.
