Zodiary

FAQ & Support

Answers, and how to reach us.

Getting started

What is Zodiary?

Zodiary builds your birth chart and writes horoscopes for your day, week, month and year, with a private diary and compatibility with your partner.

What do I need to enter?

Your first name, birth date, birth time (if you know it) and birthplace. You can search any city or village, type coordinates, or pick the spot on a map.

I don't know my birth time. Can I still use it?

Yes. Turn on I don't know my birth time. Your planet signs stay accurate, but your rising sign and houses are approximate. You can add the time later in Profile → Edit Birth Details.

Your chart

How accurate is my chart?

Planet positions are calculated with an astronomy engine, accurate to about one arcminute. The rising sign uses your birth time, birthplace and that place's time zone. If your chart differs from another app, the usual causes are a different birth time, a different house system, or sidereal versus tropical zodiac. Zodiary uses the tropical zodiac and equal houses.

Why does it need my birthplace?

Your rising sign and houses depend on where you were born, not just when. The birthplace also sets the time zone for your birth time.

What does Simple versus Advanced do?

Advanced adds exact degrees, house details and more aspects with their orbs on the Planets, Houses and Aspects tabs. The Life tab and the wheel look the same.

Can my family share it?

Partner and diary

How do I add my partner?

Profile → Add Partner, or the Us tab. Zodiary supports one partner.

Who can see my diary?

Only you. Diary notes and moods stay on your device and are never sent to us or to the AI.

Privacy

Do you collect my data?

Your birth details, partner and diary stay on your device. AI requests send your birth details and question, but not your name or diary, to our server and Google's Gemini model. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Profile → Settings → Privacy. See the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data?

Delete your details in the app, or delete the app. To delete usage data tied to your phone, email us your Installation ID (Profile → Settings → Privacy).

Does Zodiary track me or show ads?

No. There are no ads, no tracking across other apps, and no account.
