# ZenMode

> ZenMode books you more meetings from LinkedIn. It finds the right people from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, writes the messages with AI (you review them, or let Autopilot send them), sends connection requests, automatic follow-ups and voice notes paced under daily and weekly caps of its own, and keeps every reply in one inbox. ZenMode is desktop software for LinkedIn outreach automation, for macOS and Windows, and sends while the app is open. No tool can promise LinkedIn won't restrict an account that automates.

## Key facts
- Category: B2B SaaS — LinkedIn outreach automation (desktop application)
- Platforms: macOS and Windows
- How it runs: a desktop app for macOS and Windows that sends while the app is open; you sign in to LinkedIn in the window the app opens (a separate profile for each LinkedIn account); connection requests go out a few minutes apart, within business hours and conservative daily limits (up to ~50 connection requests per day). No tool is risk-free: LinkedIn can restrict any account that automates
- Pricing: Novice $15/mo (1 account, core automation with pacing and daily caps, no AI), Practitioner $49/mo (1 account, +AI message writing & voice notes), Master $99/mo (3 accounts), Dojo $149/mo (5 accounts), Sensei $299/mo (10+ accounts). 14-day free trial on every plan.
- Differentiators: prospects from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search by job title, industry and location; every reply in one inbox; per-campaign choice between reviewing AI-written messages and Autopilot (new campaigns start on Autopilot); AI-drafted messages (templates are sent as written, with {{first_name}}/{{company}} fields filled in, or an optional mode where the AI writes each prospect's sequence); LinkedIn voice-note automation (bring your own ElevenLabs key); multi-account; Sales Navigator support

## API
- REST API for programmatic access: https://www.zen-mode.io/api-docs (OpenAPI document: https://www.zen-mode.io/openapi.json)
- Base URL: https://www.zen-mode.io/api/v1, authenticated with a Bearer API key (key prefix zm_) generated in the dashboard at https://www.zen-mode.io/dashboard/api
- Available on Practitioner and above (not on Novice)
- Endpoints: tasks (create, list, get, report progress, cancel), webhooks (register, list, delete), leads, lead activity, suppressions, analytics, outreach volume, status
- The API queues work and the ZenMode desktop app carries it out, so nothing is performed while no desktop app is running
- Rate limits: 100 requests per minute per key; task creation is 30-50 per rolling 24 hours per account

## MCP (AI assistants)
- ZenMode runs a remote MCP server at https://www.zen-mode.io/api/mcp, so an AI assistant can read campaigns, contacts and conversations on the user's own account. Setup guide for Claude: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/claude (short link: https://www.zen-mode.io/mcp)
- All AI assistant guides (hub): https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/mcp. Gemini CLI: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/gemini-cli. Cursor: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/cursor. VS Code: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/vscode. ChatGPT: https://www.zen-mode.io/integrations/chatgpt
- Same plans as the API: Practitioner and above (not Novice). Authenticated with the user's ZenMode API key or by approving the connection in claude.ai
- Read only by default. An assistant cannot send a LinkedIn message or a connection request: there is no tool for it, and people it adds to a campaign are reached under the campaign's usual daily limits and business hours
