In short

Pocket Zen World: 3D Garden is a health and fitness app with a small 3D garden that responds to touch, plus breathing exercises, a focus timer, and sleep soundscapes. It suits people who want a calm place to unwind. One standout detail is that the garden keeps changing while you are away, with seasons, lunar festivals, and visiting animals.

About

A tiny garden lives inside your iPhone.

Touch the pond and watch the ripples spread. Draw slow lines through the sand. Ring a wind bell at dusk. Your garden answers with soft sound and gentle haptics.

Breathe with it. Choose a calm breath, box breathing or 4-7-8, and the pond swells and settles with you while the lanterns glow a little warmer. Start a quiet focus timer that ends with a soft bell. At night, pick a soundscape — soft rain, a bamboo stream, evening crickets — and a sleep timer: the sound keeps playing with the screen locked, then slowly fades away.

It keeps living while you are away. Plants grow and bloom, the weather turns, and nineteen visitors — Momo the cat, a mandarin duck between the reeds, a snail after the rain, an owl on a tall stone at night, a kingfisher in the Vietnam garden — may stop by. When you come back, a short note tells you what changed.

• A real 3D island you can turn with one finger, look at up close, or walk through as a little gardener who waters the plants, feeds the fish, rakes the sand and says hello to visitors • Four gardens of your own: Japan, Vietnam, Korea and China, each keeping its own plants, decorations and guests through every season and hour • Seasons that follow each country's climate, and festivals on their real lunar dates: Tết, Hanami, Chuseok, the Lantern Festival and more • Breathing sessions, a focus timer and sleep sounds with a timer • Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center: "Breathe with Pocket Zen World", or sleep sounds in one tap • A Home Screen widget that shows your garden's weather and visitors, and waters it with a tap • A journal of quiet discoveries and an album for the moments you keep • Decorate with stones, lanterns, bridges and pond plants; dress your gardener in hats and jackets • Zen Mode for calm, uninterrupted watching and listening • No account, no ads, no streaks, nothing lost when you leave

The Japan garden, breathing and focus sessions, sleep sounds with two soundscapes, the journal, every visitor, walking and Zen Mode are free.

The Pocket Zen Pass is a single purchase that adds the Vietnam, Korea and China gardens — each with visitors, moments and a soundscape found only there — plus more decorations, soundscapes and gardener outfits, shared with your family. You can try outfits on and preview decorations before buying. Optional tips simply say thank you; they unlock nothing.

Pocket Zen World is a place to unwind. It is not a medical app and does not give health advice.
