Zeno blocks the apps that take your day, and makes getting your time back feel like something you're winning rather than something you're losing. BLOCK ON YOUR TERMS Pick the apps you lose hours to, then choose how they're held back: a schedule, a daily time limit, a few short openings a day, or a block that only lifts when you've walked, focused or finished your tasks. Every block runs on Apple's Screen Time, so nothing leaves your phone. A HABIT, NOT A PUNISHMENT One finished block makes the day count. Days build a streak, focus earns XP, and every daily quest you finish opens a chest with a surprise inside. Level up to grow your own garden, one decoration at a time. Climb a weekly league against real people, all of you trying to do the same thing. KNOW WHERE IT ACTUALLY GOES Insights shows your day hour by hour against your own limit, the apps behind it, when you first picked the phone up and how long your longest stretch was. KEYS, NOT WILLPOWER A blocked app isn't a wall. Use a key for five minutes when you genuinely need in โ€” keys come from chests or the shop, so every one counts โ€” or set a block to strict, and mean it. ZENO PLUS Every blocking method, up to 15 saved blocks, your full history, double gems from levels, room for 4 streak freezes, and Plus-only decorations, hats and outfits. Zeno never sells your data, and your screen-time numbers never leave your device. โ€” Zeno Plus is an auto-renewing subscription: $39.99 per year after a one-week free trial, or $1.99 per week.

It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of that. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

One Pro plan unlocks everything. Pay monthly or yearly, or pay once with Lifetime: no renewals. FAQ Can FocusPro AI block apps while I study? Yes, with Pro. Distraction Shield blocks the apps you choose during every focus session, and Lock now blocks them for a set time without a session. Is there a Pomodoro timer with an app blocker? Yes, with Pro. The apps you pick stay blocked for every Pomodoro focus round, even when you pause. Does it work offline, and where is my data? The timer, tasks and notes work offline; only AI, calendar sync and backup need internet. Your tasks, notes and sessions stay on your iPhone and no account is needed. AI features send only the text they need, such as your question. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
