What's New in ScreenZen

4.0.0

September 6, 2026

• Practice: swap a bad habit for a good one. Breathe, journal or learn something, and earn your opens. • Minimal: use Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and more without Reels, Shorts or endless feeds, with messages-only options. • Lock settings: choose a time your settings unlock, and add an accountability partner who can let you back in. • Daily goal: set a screen time budget for your whole day, then open any day to see where the time actually went. • Scroll zone: a new Halo mode where your apps only unlock in one spot, so scrolling is intentional. • Habit: pair a Halo with something to do instead of your phone. One prompt when you arrive, and a week tracker for the days you did it. • A new screen time widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Many fixes to blocking, unlock timers, streaks and Live Activities, plus general stability and performance improvements.

this might be the best app of all time CANT LIE

LISTEN YALL, idk if you guys keep getting those ads on instagram always talking about some “we quit our jobs at Google to give you an app that makes your phone dumber” and I did like those apps, it’s basic and it still works really well. These have the same thing with MORE FEATURES and MORE CUSTOMIZABILITY, AND ITS FREE, PLUS U CAN TIP FOR LIFETIME ACCESS, unlike literally every other app which requires a yearly. Bless up for this app.♥️

Best app ever

I can’t count how much time I’ve saved and how much it has helped

so bad

it blocks notifs entirely and doesnt have a mode for emergencys or if i just wanna post or text my friends which isnt doomscrolling but takes a long time, its so annoying that i have to choose to open it exactly x times per day per x minutes its way too strict and why did it say it was gonna take my money if i turned off settings its a robbery.
