    HOW IT WORKS

    Three steps to a calmer bedtime

    Person lying in bed holding a blue handheld device

    Press

    Pick a button. Eight meditations, three sleep sounds, or the nightlight.

    Listen

    Calm tracks, ambient sound, or both. They choose what works tonight.

    Sleep

    The nightlight stays on. The screens stay off. Everyone rests.

    ONE COMPANION, THREE JOBS

    Three ways it helps them settle.

    CALM TRACKS

    For the worry

    8 guided tracks help them name what's going on, breathe through it, and settle down.
    SLEEP SOUNDS

    For the rest

    3 preloaded sounds — ocean waves, white noise, relaxing music.
    NIGHTLIGHT

    For the dark

    3 brightness settings. Soft enough to sleep through, bright enough to find a glass of water.
    Hear it first

    Press a button, hear a track.

    That's how it works at bedtime — and that's how it works right here. Listen first.

    no wifi at bedtime. Tracks live on the companion.

    No microphone. It doesn't listen, ever.

    No ads. Not now, not ever.

    No data collection of any kind.

    One way only. A calm voice out. Nothing in.

    Do I have to use the app at all?

    +
    No. Zenimal Connect arrives ready — 8 guided meditations, 3 sleep sounds, and a dimmable nightlight already on the companion. You can use it tonight without ever opening the app.

    Does my child need wifi to use it?

    +
    No. The Zenimal works completely on its own. Wifi is only used when a parent uses the app to load new tracks or record their voice. At bedtime it is not connected to anything.

    What ages is this for?

    +
    Zenimal Connect is designed for children ages 3 to 12. With the subscription, the content evolves as your child grows.

    What if my child doesn't take to it?

    +
    You have 30 nights to find out. If it isn't right, send it back — we refund the companion and the subscription. $5 covers return shipping and refurbishing.

    Do I need a subscription?

    +
    No. The companion works fully without a subscription using the 8 preloaded meditations and 3 sleep sounds. The subscription unlocks the full library, unlimited custom recordings, personalized meditations made for your child, and new content added monthly.

    Does it work with Bluetooth headphones?

    +
    Not currently. Zenimal Connect has a built-in speaker and a 3.5mm earphone jack for wired headphones.

    Is it appropriate for my neurodivergent child?

    +
    Many of our families have children with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences. The library includes content designed for these specific needs.

    How many buttons does it have?

    +
    Eight meditation buttons, each assignable to a different track through the app. The bottom button controls the nightlight. The power button functions as a control for the 3 sleep sounds (music, ocean waves, white noise) that are 60 min or play continuously if plugged in.

    Is the battery rechargeable?

    +
    Yes — via USB-C. Wall plug is not included. A single charge lasts 7-8 hours.

    Can I record my own voice?

    +
    Yes — through the app. Record a story, a goodnight message, song, or a meditation in your own voice and load it onto the Zenimal.
    REAL FAMILIES

    What changed at home.

    ★★★★★ 4.7 out of 5 from 650 verified families
    These reviews are from families using the original Zenimal. Connect is what we built because of them.
    ALLISON · MOM OF A 3 YEAR OLD
    Before
    She was very fearful at bedtime, scared to even start the routine. We had to lay down with her until she was completely asleep to avoid the fears and tears.

    After
    A confident girl laying with her Turtle on her chest, breathing in and out and following the meditation prompts.

    How we used it
    The first week, every single night, both my kids were asleep within the time of one meditation.

    What changed for me
    Almost completely gone is her irrational fear at bedtime. It helped transform our girl.
    CASSANDRA · ADHD MOM
    Before
    My daughter was really struggling with bedtime. So fearful, getting up ten times.

    After
    She turns on a Zenimal meditation, completely calms down, and falls asleep.

    How we used it
    She takes it to school too. When she has strong emotions she grabs it and goes to a quiet spot. Her teacher says it has been a major help getting her back to work without disturbing the class.

    What changed for me
    We are so grateful for the peace it brings her. I wish everyone got to experience how brilliant it is.
    JAIME · MOM OF A 10 YEAR OLD
    Before
    Most nights it would take at least two hours. He'd call us into his room saying he was scared, his tummy hurt, he was thirsty, his skin was itchy.

    After
    He was asleep before the first track ended and slept soundly all night.

    How we used it
    The Sleep track, every night since then.

    What changed for me
    We are all sleeping so much better.
    Anna, founder of Zenimal
    A NOTE FROM ANNA

    I was a scared and worried little kid for as long as I can remember.

    My father's calm became mine. At eight, a clinical psychologist gave me real tools. It changed everything. I built Zenimal so other children's quiet suffering could be seen and softened and held — and so the parents standing in the dark with them would know they're not alone in there.

    Take a breath. We've got this. You're doing great.

    — Anna · Founder & fellow exhausted parent
