This might sound familiar
You do not have to work it all out alone.
Any of this might sound like your days.
- Work out why you are tired before the day even starts.
- Put words to a lifetime of thinking it was just you.
- Notice when you are masking, and rest when you can stop.
- Make sense of a world that feels too loud and too bright.
- Understand what you need, so you can ask for it.
- Build routines that fit how your brain actually works.
- Find your way back to calm, one moment at a time.
- Count the wins that no one else claps for.
A conversation, not a form
Just tell Pip what happened.
This is the whole loop. You say what happened, in your own words. Pip helps you make sense of it. What you tell Pip stays private.
Pip
Your pocket coach
You: Big team day. Held it together the whole time and now I can't do anything.
Pip: That sounds like a masking day. They cost more than they look like they cost. I've logged the energy dip. Want to leave it there, or make tomorrow lighter?
You: Lighter. I have nothing left.
Pip: Okay. Protecting tonight counts, you've noted quiet evenings help you recover. One small idea for tomorrow: keep the first half hour free before any meetings. Saved, in case it helps.

It is already making a difference.

Understanding Zoe is an Australian app for neurodivergent adults. You tell Pip, our pocket coach, what happened in your day. Pip helps you make sense of it. It notices what helps and keeps it in one private place. Built for the whole of adult life. You don't need a formal assessment to begin.
Pip is not a doctor or therapist. It helps you organise and prepare. It doesn't give medical advice.
FAQ
Questions adults ask
Do I need a diagnosis to use Understanding Zoe?
No. You can start with or without a formal assessment. The app works from support needs and traits, not labels.
Can I use Understanding Zoe for myself?
Yes. You can hold a profile for yourself, for a child, or both. When the profile is yours, Pip talks to you as a person.
Which devices can I use Understanding Zoe on?
You can use it on a computer, in a web browser, at app.understandingzoe.com. It also runs as an app on iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets. It is the same account everywhere, so everything you add is already there. Reminders and notifications come from the phone app, not the browser.
Do I need the phone app to start?
No. You can create an account in your web browser, at app.understandingzoe.com. You can also start in the iPhone or Android app.
Is Pip a therapist or a doctor?
No. Pip is not a therapist, a counsellor or a doctor. It helps you organise, notice patterns and prepare. For medical questions, speak with your GP or your prescriber.
Does Pip remember what I tell it?
Yes. Pip keeps a list of important facts on each profile. The list grows over time. Ask Pip what it knows, and correct anything that is out of date.
Can I use the app in my language?
Yes. Write to Pip in the language you prefer, and Pip replies in that language. Reports are written in English by default, because services usually ask for it. Ask Pip if you want one in another language.
Will I get reminders on the web?
No. You can create and manage reminders on the web. Their notifications come from the phone app, on the profile owner's device. The web does not send browser alerts.
Do the people I invite have to pay?
No. Supporters join for free. Only you hold the subscription, and it covers every profile on your account.
What can a supporter see?
Only what you allow. You set nine categories to None, View or Full for each person. You can also hide a single item from chosen people.
Can my NDIS plan manager pay for my subscription?
Yes. Email us your plan manager's name and email address. We send them a tax invoice and copy you in. Your access is set up once it is paid.
If I subscribe on the web, does it work in the app?
Yes. It is the same account everywhere. A subscription you start on the web also works in the app.
