Your phone steals hours every day. Zentry helps you take them back. Pick the apps that pull you in, then let Zentry put a calm wall in front of them — for a quick focus session or every day on a schedule. When you try to open a blocked app, you see Zen, your focus buddy, instead of the feed. FOCUS IN ONE TAP Start a session from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Your apps stay blocked even when Zentry is closed, and you get a notification when you're done. BLOCK ON A SCHEDULE Create groups like Work, Study or Bedtime and set when they lock — 9 to 5, every evening, or always on. Zentry handles the rest automatically. A CALM SCREEN, NOT THE FEED Blocked apps show a gentle reminder of how often you've held back today. Need a moment? Open an app for 5 minutes and get right back on track. WATCH YOUR TIME COME BACK Insights show your focus time, best days and streaks. Build the habit one day at a time. MEET ZEN Zen sleeps, cheers, gets overwhelmed by notifications and celebrates every finished session with you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zentry uses Apple's Screen Time framework.
