Where did your day go? Zenith shows you — to the minute — how much time disappears into social media and the apps that quietly eat your focus. Then it helps you take that time back. Most screen-time tools show you a number and stop there. Zenith turns awareness into action: see the waste, block the culprits, set goals, and watch your focus improve day over day. SEE WHERE TIME ACTUALLY GOES - A clear breakdown of time spent on social media and distracting apps - Daily and weekly trends so you can spot the pattern, not just the moment - A single productivity score that tells you if today was a win BLOCK THE DISTRACTIONS - Choose exactly which apps to limit — social media, games, anything - Set hard limits or schedule focus sessions when nothing gets through - Blocking that actually holds, instead of a tap-to-ignore reminder BUILD BETTER HABITS - Set a realistic screen-time goal and track your streak - Focus sessions for deep work, study, or winding down - Gentle nudges that keep you honest without nagging DESIGNED TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY Zenith is built for iPhone with a calm, minimal interface — no cluttered dashboards, no endless settings. Open it, see what matters, get on with your day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zenith runs on your device. No account. No sign-up. No social feed. Your usage data is yours.
