## What is ZenMaru?

ZenMaru is a Screen Time based app blocker for people who want to take back time from social media, video, games, and restless taps.

Choose the apps, categories, and websites that pull you away. Then start a focus session or set a blocking schedule. ZenMaru is not about surveillance or guilt. It is a quiet tool for keeping the boundary you already decided.

Features:

- One-tap focus sessions
- App, category, and website selection
- Blocking schedules
- Strict focus mode
- Calendar of protected days
- Streaks and estimated saved focus time
- Calm Zen-inspired design with a Japanese character

ZenMaru uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. Restriction choices and focus progress are designed to stay on device. The app does not use advertising tracking or external analytics SDKs.

Pricing:

An App Store subscription is required to start ZenMaru Pro. The monthly subscription includes a 7-day free trial, then renews at the displayed App Store price. Local pricing depends on App Store region and currency.

ZenMaru helps you decide once, then return to the work in front of you.
