About Academic Zen

A five-minute reset for students with too much on their minds: calm your system, quiet the noise, choose what matters now, and take one small step.

Calm → Center → Choose → Go

Each reset settles your body, offers one brief technique inspired by CBT and DBT skills, narrows your pile to a single priority, and gives you one concrete next action with an optional focus timer.

Practitioner-curated acupressure

All acupressure content is written and reviewed by a qualified practitioner and stored in a controlled library. The app can only suggest approved points — it never writes locations, techniques, durations or precautions of its own. If nothing suitable is available, the reset simply continues without it.

Privacy

  • Free resets stay on your device. If you're not signed in, a reset is temporary and anything kept stays in your browser.
  • Saving is your choice. When you're signed in, a reset is only added to your account if you tap "Save this reset". Nothing is saved automatically.
  • Saved resets are yours alone. Only your account can see them. They aren't shared, shown publicly, or visible to anyone else — including someone who bought Academic Zen as a gift for you.
  • Bring your old resets with you. If this device already has saved resets, you can choose to import them into your account after signing in. We never move them without asking.
  • Check-in text isn't kept. What you write is sent to an AI service to generate that one reset, then discarded.
  • Delete anytime. Remove a single reset or all of them from My Resets.

Safety

Academic Zen is not an emergency service, therapist, or medical provider. If your check-in suggests you may be in danger, the app shows crisis resources instead of a reset. That screening isn't perfect — if you need help, reach out directly to emergency services or a crisis line.
