Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Zen Flowers?

Zen Flowers is an ikebana app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It's a quiet gallery of over 400 handcrafted Japanese floral arrangements — each one titled, photographed by hand, and paired with a short description. Open the app and arrangements unfold one at a time, accompanied by optional soundscapes. Think of it as ambient art for a calm mind.

Is there a subscription?

No subscription, ever. Zen Flowers is free to download with Artist Favorites and Minimalist Zen — two complete collections. A single one-time purchase of $4.99 unlocks all 10 collections — including every future collection we add. No ads, no recurring fee, no data collection.

Which collections are free?

Artist Favorites and Minimalist Zen — two complete collections — are free with download. The remaining eight collections unlock with the one-time $4.99 purchase, along with every future collection we add.

Can I use it as an Apple TV screensaver or ambient display?

Yes — Apple TV is where many people enjoy Zen Flowers most. Open the app, choose a collection, optionally enable a Zen Garden or Slow Piano soundscape, and leave it playing as ambient floral art on your living room television. It also works beautifully on an iPad propped on a counter or shelf.

What is ikebana, and who makes the arrangements?

Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of floral arrangement — an intentional, meditative practice that emphasizes line, space, and asymmetry. Every arrangement in Zen Flowers is composed and photographed by Narcisa, half of the husband-and-wife indie studio behind the app. New pieces are added each month.

How often are new arrangements added?

Narcisa adds new ikebana pieces each month. Every new arrangement lands in New Creations first. Over time, some older pieces in New Creations are moved into other collections — seasonal series like Spring Blossoms or Autumn, or themed collections like Silent Forms.

Which devices and operating systems are supported?

Zen Flowers runs on iPhone (iOS 17.6+), iPad (iPadOS 17.6+), and Apple TV (tvOS 17.6+).

Does Zen Flowers support Family Sharing?

Yes. The one-time $4.99 unlock supports Apple's Family Sharing, so everyone in your Family group can enjoy the full library on their own iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV — no extra purchase per person.

Is Zen Flowers available on Android, Windows, or Vision Pro?

No. Zen Flowers is built exclusively for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It is not available on Android, Windows, or Apple Vision Pro.

Are the soundscapes optional?

Completely optional. Six soundtracks ship with the app — three Zen Garden and three Slow Piano — and you can leave them playing, choose a single track, or turn audio off entirely for silent viewing. Nothing in Zen Flowers is forced; the goal is calm, not noise.

Does the app collect any data?

None. Narcisa Art Studio LLC, the developer, does not collect any data from this app. There is no analytics SDK, no tracking, no account required. Zen Flowers is meant to be a quiet, private place. Read our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Is it a good gift?

Many people gift Zen Flowers around Mother's Day, anniversaries, or as a quiet welcome-home present. Because the purchase is a one-time unlock through Family Sharing, you can share access with the people you love without juggling renewals.

What languages is the app in?

The interface and arrangement titles are currently in English. We're a tiny team, but we expect to add additional languages as the library grows.
