How to install and set up Zaaheen

Download Zaaheen for Windows or Mac and install it, then choose Begin set up. Setting up takes about three minutes: you sign in from the app, which starts your 30-day free trial (no card needed), choose where your memories live, and connect your first AI app.

Before you start

Windows or Mac

Zaaheen 0.3.8 is for 64-bit Windows, tested on Windows 11, and for Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer, tested on macOS 26. It is not available for Linux or phones yet.

Download for Windows Download for Mac

Install

Windows or Mac

On Windows, open the installer you downloaded. You may see up to three questions on the way, and each is expected:

  • Microsoft Edge says the file "isn't commonly downloaded". The installer is new, so Edge has not seen it often. Choose the three dots next to the download, then Keep, Show more and Keep anyway. Chrome does not ask.
  • Windows says the publisher is unknown. The installer is not code-signed yet; signing comes later. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • Windows asks for administrator permission. Zaaheen installs for everyone on the computer, so Windows asks once. It does not need administrator rights to run afterwards.

On a Mac, open the disk image you downloaded, drag Zaaheen into the Applications folder, then open Zaaheen from Applications. Zaaheen only runs from there.

Can't find Applications? Open Finder (the blue and white face at the left of the Dock) and choose Applications in the sidebar on the left. Or, with Finder open, press Shift-Command-A.

  • Your Mac asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet. It names the developer. The Mac app is signed and checked by Apple. Choose Open.
  • Your Mac may ask whether Zaaheen can use your keychain. That is where the key to your memories is kept. Choose Always Allow.

To check your download, compare its fingerprint (SHA-256) with the one below. If they differ, delete the file and download it again from this site.

  • Windows (Zaaheen_0.3.8_x64.msi): 50147fc643b9e8d4e743c60acbd5c21a34e6672d211534d7add288f28c20d0e4. In PowerShell, run Get-FileHash "$HOME\Downloads\Zaaheen_0.3.8_x64.msi".
  • Mac (Zaaheen_0.3.8_aarch64.dmg): ae694d3d02ef0d38b591c70db3b4710673f3549c5c9a0d6956d145ce39ed12ab. In Terminal, run shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Zaaheen_0.3.8_aarch64.dmg.

Set up

Begin set up

Open Zaaheen and choose Begin set up. It walks you through five steps:

  1. Your account. Choose Create an account or Sign in. This opens your web browser. Your 30-day free trial starts the first time you sign in from the Zaaheen app, and no card is needed. Signing in never shares your memories with us.
  2. Where to keep your memories. The usual place suits most people. You can change it later from Settings with Move my memories….
  3. Your first AI app. Pick the app you use and follow the steps, or choose I'll connect one later.
  4. Your first memory. Tell Zaaheen something your AI apps should know about you, then choose Keep this memory, or Skip for now.
  5. Tidying up. Zaaheen tidies your memory on its own each night unless you choose Not now, then Finish setup.

The first time, Zaaheen also downloads what it needs to search your memories. It does this in the background, and you can use Zaaheen while it finishes.
