About

Zone Focus

Read full description

Block distracting apps and websites when your focus session starts. Use Strict Mode when Screen Time limits are too easy to ignore. No account, no third-party analytics, and your blocked app list stays on your device. Zone helps you stop scrolling, stay out of distracting apps, and protect the time you meant to spend away from your phone. CORE FEATURES STRICT APP AND WEBSITE BLOCKING Choose the apps and websites you keep opening. When you enter the Zone, they are shielded until your session ends. STRICT MODE Make sessions harder to abandon once they begin, so your commitment survives the moment you want to scroll. FOCUS TIMERS Use focused presets for short sprints, deep work blocks, longer flow sessions, or a custom duration. DYNAMIC ISLAND AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Track your remaining time from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking your phone. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Optionally save completed focus sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. INSIGHTS AND STREAKS See focus time, completed sessions, streaks, and blocked attempts so progress stays visible. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Zone does not require an account, does not use third-party analytics, and cannot see the specific apps or websites you choose to block. Your focus history, streaks, insights, and Apple Health sync stay on your device. To support Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity updates, Zone may send limited timer-delivery data, such as a Live Activity push token, remaining time, running state, and APNs environment, to our backend solely to update that Live Activity. Zone does not send your blocked apps, websites, focus history, Health data, or personal usage analytics. Enter the Zone, stop scrolling, and protect your focus.
