## Support and how-to guides
- [Get started with Zen Passwords](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/get-started): There is no account to create. You install the app, choose a master password, and the vault exists on your device from that moment. Setup is four steps and takes about five minutes: create the vault, save a recovery key, turn on AutoFill, and add your first login.
- [Set up AutoFill on iPhone, iPad and Mac](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/set-up-autofill): AutoFill is a system setting rather than something the app can switch on for you. Turn Zen Passwords on as an AutoFill provider in Settings, and from then on your logins, one-time codes and passkeys are offered in Safari and in other apps the way the built in ones are. It has to be done once per device.
- [Use one-time codes](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/one-time-codes): Zen Passwords generates one-time codes itself, stored on the login they belong to rather than in a separate app. Once a code is on an entry, AutoFill offers the password and then the code, so signing in is two taps instead of a hunt through another app.
- [What you can keep in the vault](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/item-types-and-attachments): Zen Passwords holds seven kinds of item: web logins, payment cards, bank details, identity documents, Wi-Fi networks, software licences and secure notes. Each has fields suited to it, and you can attach photos to any entry. Attachments are encrypted with the entry itself.
- [Unlock, auto-lock and clipboard settings](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/lock-and-privacy-settings): Biometric unlock is optional and off until you turn it on. The vault locks itself after a period of inactivity, and anything you copy out of it is cleared from the clipboard in under a minute. All three are settings you can change.
- [Turn on iCloud sync](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/turn-on-icloud-sync): Sync is optional and off until you turn it on. When you do, the vault travels through your own private iCloud under your Apple ID, as encrypted data. There is no Zen account and no Zen server holding a copy, which is also why we cannot help you recover anything from it.
- [Make an encrypted backup](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/encrypted-backups): Backups come out encrypted, either on demand or on a schedule, into a folder you choose. The app keeps a history of every backup it has made so you can see when the last one ran. Restoring means importing a backup file and unlocking it with the master password it was made under.
- [Set up a recovery key before you need it](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/set-up-a-recovery-key): Save a recovery key, and do it while you still know your master password. You can keep the key yourself, or use social recovery to split it across people you trust so no single person holds it. Nobody at Zen can reset your master password, so this is the only thing standing between forgetting it and losing the vault.
- [AutoFill is not offering my login](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/autofill-not-appearing): Nine times in ten the entry has no web address saved on it, so nothing matches the page you are on. After that, check that Zen Passwords is switched on as an AutoFill provider on that specific device, that the vault is unlocked, and that the address on the entry matches the site you are actually signing in to.
- [One device is behind the other](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/sync-not-updating): Check that both devices are signed into the same Apple ID, that sync is turned on in the app on both, and that the device has had a network connection since the change. Sync travels through your own iCloud, so there is no Zen server we can look at, and no queue we can flush from our end.
- [The free tier, and what Premium adds](https://www.zenproducts.ai/support/zen-passwords/free-tier-and-premium): Zen Passwords is free for up to five active items. AutoFill, sync, backups and recovery work within that limit. Premium removes the item limit and adds the opt-in breach check. Apple shows current purchase terms before you buy.
## Writing
- [Keep a baby feeding, diaper and sleep log on iPhone](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/baby-feeding-diaper-sleep-log-iphone): Set up a useful care log in Zen Otto: record feeds, correct missed entries and prepare a caregiver handover. Includes sharing, privacy and plan requirements.

- [Built so even we cannot open your Zen Passwords vault](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/zen-passwords-secret-key-two-key-vault-design): The thinking behind the two-key design: how a Secret Key is combined with your master password, why there is no partial credit, and what it does not protect against.
- [Apple Dictation vs private local Mac dictation: what actually stays on your Mac](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/apple-dictation-vs-private-mac-dictation): Apple Dictation is on-device for a lot of everyday use, and not for the rest, with no indicator that tells you which. Zen Whisper is built to make that boundary explicit instead of confident. Here is an honest, feature-by-feature comparison.
- [MacWhisper vs Zen Whisper: transcription and dictation are different jobs](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/macwhisper-vs-zen-whisper-dictation-vs-transcription): MacWhisper is built to turn recordings into text. Zen Whisper is built to type at your cursor while you speak. Here is an honest comparison so you pick the tool that matches the job, not the brand that sounds similar.

- [A private password manager for iPhone that keeps your vault on your device](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/private-password-manager-iphone-on-device): Most password managers ask you to trust a stranger's cloud before you have typed a single password. Zen Passwords encrypts your vault on your iPhone first, with sync riding your own Apple ID only if you turn it on. Here is what "on device" actually buys you.
- [Clearing out ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini conversations in bulk](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/delete-chatgpt-claude-gemini-conversations-in-bulk): AI chat sidebars fill with hundreds of half-finished conversations, and deleting them one at a time is the reason nobody does.

- [Dictating in Hindi and Hinglish on a Mac](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/hindi-hinglish-dictation-mac): Most dictation tools treat Hindi as an afterthought and Hinglish as a mistake. Zen Whisper exposes 110 spoken language options including Hindi, Hinglish, and English regional variants, with core speech recognition running on your Mac.
- [Mac dictation that keeps your voice on your Mac](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/mac-dictation-that-stays-on-your-mac): Most dictation sends your voice to somebody else's server to be turned into text. Zen Whisper runs core speech recognition on your Mac, inserts text at the cursor in the apps you already use, and works in 110 spoken languages. Here is how that changes what you are willing to dictate.
- [Transcribing an interview on your Mac without uploading it](https://www.zenproducts.ai/posts/transcribe-interview-mac-without-uploading): Uploading a recording to a transcription service means handing over somebody else's words as well as your own.
