Help and Support

How do I change the language or city?

Open Profile → App language. System is the default and follows your iPhone. You can choose English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese, then return to System at any time.

To change your city, open Profile → Sky location and pick from the list. The app calculates approximate sky times for that city without requesting location permission. No account is needed; your name and photo are optional.

How do Apple Health permissions work?

Profile → Save to Health requests permission to write completed breathing sessions as mindful minutes. Turning this on does not grant permission to read your records.

Night Mirror is a Premium feature with a separate request to read sleep duration and stages, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and sleeping wrist temperature. Measurements are processed on your iPhone. They are not included in widgets, notifications, Live Activities, shared images or posters.

If the Mirror is empty, check Health → your profile → Data Access & Devices → Vespera Ritual. Some records require a supported device and enough existing data. Vespera does not create missing measurements. Its comparisons are descriptive and do not establish a medical effect. You can revoke read access in Health; mindful minutes already saved remain until you remove them there.

Where can I find my sessions and add a widget?

At the end of a session, choose See this session in your sky to open its star. You can also open Your constellation from Breathe. Your first and latest session memories are free; Premium adds history browsing. Tap the practice statistics on Breathe to open the Night Journal. This month is free, with past months and insights in Premium.

To add a widget, touch and hold your iPhone Home Screen, choose Edit and Add Widget, then search for Vespera Ritual. Available controls can differ by iOS version. During a session, Live Activities can show your countdown. Siri shortcuts can open your breathing practice.

How do I manage, cancel or restore Premium?

The weekly plan offers a 3-day free trial to eligible subscribers. The monthly plan has no free trial. Both include the same Premium features. Current local prices and offer eligibility appear before purchase.

Apple handles payment through your Apple Account. Payment is charged when you confirm a purchase or when an applicable free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current subscription or trial period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.

To cancel, open iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Vespera Ritual. To restore an existing purchase, use Restore Purchases on the Premium page with the same Apple Account. Restoring does not cancel your subscription. Introductory-offer eligibility is determined by Apple for the subscription group.

How do I erase app data?

Open Profile → Danger zone → Reset data. This removes your profile, favorites, practice history and related local settings. The date used to track the one-time Open Night remains, so a reset does not restart that access period.

Resetting or deleting the app does not cancel an Apple subscription, remove previous exported images or delete mindful minutes already saved to Health. Manage those in their respective apps or Apple settings. Device backups depend on your Apple settings.

Why did the Night Screen close, or a reminder not arrive?

Night Screen is free for ten minutes after a session. Premium adds fifteen, thirty or sixty minutes, or until 7:00 the next morning. Vespera keeps the display awake only while Night Screen is active, the iPhone is charging and Low Power Mode is off. Moving the app to the background, opening Premium, unplugging or reaching the chosen end time releases that setting.

Optional reminders and sky-night alerts are local notifications. If they do not arrive, check iPhone Settings → Notifications → Vespera Ritual, then check your reminder settings in the app.

How do journeys and free sky nights work?

Balanced Breath and Unwind are free, with one-, three- and five-minute sessions. Premium opens all seven rhythms and longer sessions. The first night of each journey is free; the following nights need Premium, with at most one journey night per day.

Full-moon and meteor-peak nights can open their matching rhythm for everyone. The one-time Open Night gives 72 hours of content access around the first full moon tracked by the app. It does not start a subscription and excludes subscriber-only streak protection and automatic moon icons. Resetting does not restart it. Earned Sky Passport stamps remain readable after paid or temporary access ends.
