ZENO

Sleep Terror Relief

The only app that detects a sleep terror or paralysis episode as it's happening — and wakes you before it escalates. Not a tracker. A responder.

The System

Five steps. One outcome.
You wake up safely.

A three-signal composite detection engine built from the ground up for the physiological reality of sleep terrors and paralysis.

01

Three-Signal Detection

HR (45%) + wrist stillness (35%) + body position (20%). A pattern, not a single threshold.

02

Dual Detection Paths

Elevated activity for terrors. Inverse stillness for paralysis. Two separate engines.

03

Episode Confirmed

Composite trigger fires on-device — zero latency, zero cloud, zero transmission.

04

Five-Phase Haptic Wake

Gentle → Light → Firm → Strong → Full. No jarring alarm. A calibrated exit.

05

Audio Wake

Apple Watch speaks your name. You surface safely, oriented, and calm.

What Zeno Does

Built from 30+ iterations.
Every capability earned.

Not a sleep tracker with extra features bolted on. A purpose-built detection and intervention platform — with tools no other sleep app has ever shipped.

💓

Adaptive Calibration

After 7 confirmed clear nights, Zeno stops using population averages and switches to thresholds calibrated specifically to your body. Your resting HR, your stillness patterns — yours alone.

Intelligence
〰️

Dual Detection Paths

Sleep terrors spike. Sleep paralysis flatlines. They are physiological opposites — and Zeno runs two entirely separate detection engines so neither condition can slip through the other's net.

Engineering
🔒

100% On-Device

All detection, all processing, all data — lives on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Nothing is transmitted. No servers. No cloud. Your sleep is not a product anyone else gets to see.

📸

Camera Trigger

When Zeno detects an episode, it sends a trigger signal to Apple Shortcuts — which fires your pre-configured camera automation. Zeno never accesses, holds, or sees any footage. You control what happens. The first time you've ever had timestamped documentation of what your body does while you sleep — automated, private, and entirely yours.

Pro Feature · Automation
🎤

Dream Journal

Voice recording fires immediately after Zeno wakes you — while the dream is still raw and vivid. Tag episodes by theme. Chase. Falling. Confrontation. Build a record over weeks and months that reveals which conditions, locations, or stressors correlate with your worst nights. The beginning of understanding what triggers you.

Pro Feature · Voice + Tags

Five-Phase Haptic Wake

Progressive escalation from barely perceptible to full intensity. Apple Watch Ultra's haptic precision makes each phase distinct. No alarm clock shock. No panic. A calibrated exit from the episode.

Core Feature
📊

Missed Episode Reporting

Long press any Clear night in History to flag a missed episode. Automatically excluded from the calibration baseline — the system learns from what it catches and what it doesn't.

Intelligence
🎙️

Siri App Intents

Six commands wired — Start, Stop, Set Sensitivity, Log Dream Note, Last Night Summary, and more. All voice-activated. All fully integrated with Apple Shortcuts for custom automation.

Pro Feature
Year 3+ · Vision Pro Integration

Spatial Dream Reconstruction

Every episode Zeno captures — the timestamp, the physiological signature, the voice journal — becomes a data point. Over months and years, that dataset builds a map. Vision Pro's spatial canvas becomes the stage where your accumulated dream history is reconstructed in three dimensions: environments, recurring figures, emotional arcs across time.

This is not a feature you can build today. It requires the years of data Zeno starts collecting tonight.

Location–Dream Correlation

Do your worst episodes happen when you sleep in a different city? At a specific altitude? After certain travel patterns? Zeno maps your real-world locations against episode frequency to surface the correlations your conscious mind could never detect.

Coming Year 3

Skip Detection Mode

Immediate start override for naps, irregular schedules, or the nights when you just know. No waiting for sleep onset confidence to build — Zeno arms itself the moment you tap.

Core Feature
🕐

Background Monitoring

Runs reliably for 9+ hours via HKWorkoutSession on Apple Watch Ultra. Your whole night, covered. No mid-session drops. No battery excuses. Engineered for the long watch.

Core Feature
The Opportunity

The same physiological signature.
A vastly underserved population.

PTSD-related sleep disturbances present identically to what Zeno already detects. The detection engine doesn't care about root cause. It responds to the body.

The Founder
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. Zeno began as personal necessity. It became a product when I realized millions of people had no alternative either.
