Frequently asked questions

A small app that shows where your amigos are on a globe or map, what time it is for them, and whether they're on shift, asleep or free. Add your own location and hours and it suggests the best time to reach anyone.

ZoneAmigos is free with up to 2 amigos. ZoneAmigos Pro is a one-time $2.99 unlock — no subscription.

On iPhone and Mac (App Store) Pro adds unlimited amigos, reminders, import & export, and iCloud sync. One purchase covers every iPhone and Mac signed in to your Apple ID.

On the web (zoneamigos.app) Pro adds unlimited amigos and import & export. Reminders are free on the web and work while a ZoneAmigos tab is open.

If you have an iPhone or Mac, get it from the App Store: one purchase, iCloud sync between your devices, and reminders that work in the background.

If you're on Windows, Android, Linux or a Chromebook, use the web version at zoneamigos.app/app. It runs in any modern browser and can be added to your home screen or taskbar like an app.

Work mode colours everyone by their working hours and suggests meeting times. Personal mode uses their sleep hours instead and suggests catch-up times. Each mode keeps its own list of amigos.

No. Your amigos live in the browser you added them in. Use Export to save them to a file and Import to load them into another browser or device. Browser "profile sync" in Chrome or Edge doesn't copy website data, so export and import is the way to move them.

The iPhone and Mac apps can sync through your own iCloud account instead (Pro).

Yes. Export makes a small file; send it to another ZoneAmigos user and they can Import it. Import & export is part of Pro.

On your device. The App Store version can also keep a copy in your own iCloud account so your devices match. We run no servers and never see your amigos. The web version stores everything in your browser. See the privacy policy.

Paste your licence key into ZoneAmigos in that browser (Settings → ZoneAmigos Pro → Enter licence key). Each browser counts as one activation, and a key allows 5 activations. Your key is in your purchase email, and in Settings once activated, with a copy button.

Old browsers, reinstalls and cleared site data each leave an activation behind. You can free a slot from a browser you no longer need (Settings → ZoneAmigos Pro → Remove this browser). If that browser is gone, email support with the address you bought with and we'll clear it for you.

No. The App Store purchase and the web purchase are separate, because Apple requires purchases on its devices to go through the App Store. Pick the version you'll use most.

Yes, if the Mac is signed in to the same Apple ID. Open ZoneAmigos on the Mac, go to Settings → ZoneAmigos Pro → Restore purchase.

Set one on any amigo: when they come on shift (with an offset, like 15 minutes before), or when your shared window opens or closes. Once, for a few days, or every day. If ZoneAmigos is the active window the reminder appears inside the app and waits for you to dismiss it; otherwise it arrives as a normal notification.

No. Browser reminders fire while ZoneAmigos is open in a tab — a pinned tab is fine. For reminders that work in the background, use the iPhone or Mac app.

On iPhone, Safari only allows notifications for sites added to the Home Screen.

Reminders use the system's notification style for ZoneAmigos — banner or alert. Check Notifications in System Settings (Mac) or the Settings app (iPhone) and make sure ZoneAmigos is allowed. On the Mac, Settings → Reminders in the app has a button that takes you straight there.

Nothing. There's no account, no analytics, and no server that holds your data. Location is used once, on your device, to find your nearest city — you can type a city instead. Read the full privacy policy.
