What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

A tester in Syria reported that ZCode's free tier works: the desktop app downloaded and opened, and their account held tasks from earlier use.

Landing pageWorks

The ZCode website (zcode.z.ai) loaded normally from a Syrian connection on desktop, with the download button for its Windows app available.

Sign-upWorks

A tester in Syria was using their own ZCode account, signed in with Google and holding tasks created weeks earlier, which shows an account can be created and used from Syria.

Sign-inWorks

From Syria, the tester was signed in to the ZCode desktop app on Windows, with their workspaces and earlier tasks loading. The tester reported signing in with a Google account.

PaymentFails

From Syria, ZCode's checkout for a paid plan opened, but it accepts only PayPal and international credit or debit cards, which are unavailable to users in Syria, so the payment could not be completed.

UpgradeFails

A tester in Syria could not move from ZCode's free tier to a paid plan, because the checkout accepts no payment method available in Syria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of ZCode works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting ZCode directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
