OnZen—Screen Time Balance & Digital Wellbeing Break free from endless scrolling and take control of your digital life with OnZen—the app that helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone. Whether you want to spend less time on social media or simply be more intentional with your daily habits, OnZen makes it easy to stay balanced, productive, and focused on what matters most. Just choose which apps to limit, set how long and when you want to use them, and let OnZen handle the rest. Why OnZen Works Traditional app blockers simply lock you out. OnZen helps you understand your habits, reduce screen time naturally, and build lasting awareness. The result is less distraction, deeper focus, and time that feels truly your own. Daily Screen Time Goal Start with a realistic daily goal based on your current habits. If you usually spend 4 hours a day on your phone, OnZen will suggest cutting that by just 30 minutes—a small, achievable step that compounds over time. When you go over your daily screen time limit, your goal card on the home screen changes color, helping you stay aware and accountable without pressure. Smart App Limits Stay in control with flexible blocking modes designed for real life: • Set Time Limits—limit total daily use on individual apps (e.g., 30 minutes on TikTok). • Set Open Limits—limit how many times you can open a particular app. • Create Schedules—block selected apps at certain hours or on specific days. • Block Now—start a distraction-free session instantly anytime you need to focus. All modes are fully customizable, helping you create the perfect balance between focus and freedom. Stay Consistent with Streaks & your Focus Garden Every day you stay within your goals strengthens your streak. If you exceed your limit, the streak resets, motivating you to stay consistent and keep building better habits. Your personal Focus Garden turns your progress into something you can see and grow: each productive hour or balanced day plants a new tree, symbolizing your focus taking root. You’ll collect trees for: • Focus Hours • Days with OnZen • Consecutive streak days Clear Usage Insights See exactly where your time goes. OnZen tracks which apps you use most and divides them into Productive or Distracting categories that you can edit anytime. With simple, clear analytics, you’ll understand your daily patterns so you can take back control of your attention. Privacy and Security Your data remains private and securely stored on your device.
