A quiet ritual. A little perspective.
An answer that has never heard your question.
Reveal a brief response from an original collection — calm, a little playful, and open to your interpretation. Nothing to type or say; the collection is already on your device.
On iPhone Duo
Close your device with a question in mind. Open it to reveal your page; the answer gradually appears as the screen unfolds.
On your iPhone or iPad
Think of a question, then tap Reveal answer. Soft light gives the words a moment to arrive. Choose New question when you are ready to begin another round.
Your page is still here.
Some words are worth returning to.
Come back to the app, restart it, or close and reopen your Duo: the same answer stays with you until you choose New question.
In the app menu, turn on optional Private reveal to protect your page with Apple’s device-owner authentication. Adjust Sound and Haptics separately, as you like.
No account, no subscription, no microphone, no cloud AI. Your question stays with you.
Questions, plainly answered.
What is AskZine?
AskZine is an offline answer app for entertainment and reflection. Hold a question in mind, then unfold iPhone Duo or tap Reveal answer on another supported iPhone or iPad. Created by Cheng Song and first released in October 2026.
Does AskZine work on a regular iPhone or iPad?
Yes. AskZine supports iPhone with iOS 27.0 or later and iPad with iPadOS 27.0 or later. Think of a question, then tap Reveal answer — the fold gesture is simply replaced by the tap, with identical content. The close-and-open interaction itself requires iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1 or later.
Is AskZine an AI app? Does it read my question?
No. Your answer is randomly selected from 80 original responses stored on your device, while avoiding recently shown answers. It is not matched to your question. There is nothing to type or say, no recording, and no cloud AI. AskZine works offline and is for entertainment and reflection, not advice.
What happens when I close and reopen iPhone Duo?
You return to the same page. Closing and reopening your Duo, switching away, or restarting the app all keep your current answer in place. Only New question begins another round.
Can I save or share my answer?
Yes. Once your answer is visible, tap Share to choose Photo, Video or Live Photo. Photos and videos can be saved to Photos or shared directly. Save a Live Photo to Photos first, then share it from there. Saving or sharing keeps your current answer.
Is there a subscription?
No. AskZine is a one-time US$1.99 purchase on the U.S. App Store, including all 80 responses. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Prices may vary by country or region; check your local App Store. Apple handles payments.
