Doesn’t work
The app is a good idea, but it doesn’t work properly. I set a limit for X and Instagram to be 20 minutes a day, however by 6AM, when I haven’t even opened either app, I already get a notification that the app limits have been reached?

Thanks for reporting this! This limit/sync bug is fixed. Would you please update your review if it’s working better? I’d really appreciate it! 💙
Does not function properly- buggy
The idea is there- but the app itself just doesn't work. I set it to block certain apps from 10 PM to 7 AM. Well, I was able to use the apps until 11 or 1130PM, I don't remember what I did- but I think I had to go in the app and add additional apps to block, and then it finally started working. Well, it's now past 9 AM and the apps are still blocked, and even though I pressed the pause button and did the walking challenge, it isn't registering that I've done the challenge so the apps are still blocked that I need to use.
I also have certain apps on a timer so that I can only use them for 10 minutes a day, and yesterday it let me use them for 20 minutes or more before they blocked.

This issue has been fixed, and there’s a Refresh button if anything gets out of sync. If it’s working better now, would you update your review? I’d really appreciate it 💙
Impossible to use
I can’t get past the first page.
Response from developer
This issue on small screens has been fixed. If you’re able to try again and it works better, I’d really appreciate an updated review. 💙
Really works!
Before this app, I was addicted to Instagram. I would seriously waste hours doom scrolling and then feeling stressed from wasting my life away. I don’t mean to sound dramatic but downloading this app literally changed my life for the better. I’ve been using the free version for about two months now and using the medium difficulty memory game to make myself really consider if I want to use instagram or not. The intentionality of it really makes me reconsider if I’m opening instagram to really use it or if it’s just out of habit. Many people in my life have noticed how much more present I’ve been in my life because of this app!

Um app necessário nos dias de hoje
Que app necessário! O Zenvi me fez repensar meus hábitos digitais e me ajudou a ter mais equilíbrio no dia a dia. Fácil de usar, bonito e realmente funcional. Um trabalho feito com muito cuidado e inteligência. Parabéns ao desenvolvedor❤️❤️
Maravilhoso
Está me ajudando muito a reduzir o tempo de tela.
Works with customizable unlocking options
Pretty cool app that looked very slick, and will block the apps you want with multiple customizable barriers. You do need a subscription to use all the barriers however.
Disrupts Dopamine Flow
I love how Zenvi acts as a middle man to disrupting the dopamine flow. Reward comes only after the work or task. It stops instant gratifications and acts as a good reset.
A Gray deep-work companion for remote work
Zenvi is a strong option for anyone working remotely who wants to protect deep work blocks and cut down on reflexive app-checking. Instead of using harsh, all-or-nothing blocking, it adds a short intentional pause before opening distracting apps (quick challenges, small tasks, even step-based resets), which helps break the
"just one second" habit that kills focus.
It's especially useful during work hours: set clear focus sessions, keep only essential apps available, and make distractions slightly harder to access without feeling punished. Over time, that small friction can make a big difference in staying in flow, finishing tasks faster, and ending the day with less mental fatigue.

Simple, motivating, and finally available in French
Zenvi takes a genuinely smart approach to reducing screen time without feeling frustrating.
Instead of hard-blocking apps, it creates a short pause before opening distracting ones (quick challenges, mini games, a few steps to take, etc.), which is often enough to break the autopilot habit and make the choice more intentional.
One detail that really stands out: the interface is available in French, which is surprisingly rare for apps in this category. That makes setup and day-to-day use much smoother, especially for anyone who wants a clear and motivating way to stay focused.

Free version: pretty good !
I have only used this for 24 hours, but already, it has stopped me from using my go-to apps when I’m bored and doomscrolling. The games difficulty can be adjusted, I have mine on medium right now. The questions sometimes repeat, and the repetitions make it so you know the answer. Excellent!
Ótimo aplicativo
Recomendo o uso! A interface do app, assim como as funcionalidades, são excepcionais!
Excelente Aplicativo
Ideal para sair desse mundo de excesso de informações.
Agora uso menos as redes sociais e ainda aprendo idiomas. Genial!!
Coloquei a barreira do quiz com inteligência artificial, e uso pra aprender idiomas.
Toda vez que eu quiser usar rede social eu preciso passar no quiz.
Além de me fazer cortar o impulso de abrir o insta/tiktok toda hora, ainda consigo aprender algo enquanto desbloqueio. Achei genial.
