ZenMode OS Launcher

Every app on your phone is built to keep you hooked. ZenMode OS helps you unhook.

ZenMode OS is a simple Android launcher (home screen) that helps you cut screen time, stop doomscrolling and use your phone with intention.

Keep your screen time promise, and put the win into gold. 🪙

♿ HOW ZENMODE USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
━━━━━━━━━━━━
ZenMode uses Android's AccessibilityService API for its distraction blocker. With your permission, it is used to:

- Detect when you open an app you chose to limit, so ZenMode can show the "why are you opening this?" pause and block it when your time is up
- Detect and block Reels in Instagram and Shorts in YouTube, while the rest of those apps still work

What ZenMode does NOT do with this permission:
- It does not read your messages, passwords or typed text
- It does not collect, store, send or share any accessibility data. Everything stays on your device

The permission is optional. You turn it on yourself in Android Settings after ZenMode explains why, and can turn it off anytime. Without it, the launcher, Zen Score and Zen Report still work, but blocking will not.

ZenMode is a digital wellbeing app, not an accessibility tool for users with disabilities.

🧘 HOW ZENMODE WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━
1️⃣ SAY WHY YOU OPENED IT
Before an app opens, pick why you're using it and for how long. That two-second pause stops mindless scrolling.

2️⃣ BLOCK REELS & SHORTS
Keep Instagram and YouTube for what you need, without getting pulled into endless short videos.

3️⃣ ZEN SCORE
You start every day at 100. Mindless pickups and going over time take points away. Focused use and keeping your promise earn them back.

4️⃣ ZEN REPORT
One clear report every day. See where your time went, app by app, with the minutes and points for each.

━━━━━━━━━━━━
🪙 GOLD INVEST
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Badges and streaks are just more dopamine. ZenMode points your habit at something real.

- Set your screen time promise
- Pick how many units of Gold BeES (the gold ETF on NSE) you want
- Place the order through Zerodha Kite, your broker
- The gold sits in your own demat account, in your name

ZenMode never touches your money and never holds your units.

━━━━━━━━━━━━
👥 ZEN CIRCLE
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Add up to 7 people to your Zen Circle. Friends, family, your study group. They see your Zen Score go up or down, and you see theirs. No feed, no likes, no noise. Just a little push from people who care.

━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 PRIVATE AND OPEN SOURCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Your usage data stays on your device
- Your circle sees your score, not your app history
- No ads, ever
- Fully open source. Read the code on GitHub

━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ FREE AND PRO
━━━━━━━━━━━━
The free plan covers what matters: app blocking, Reels/Shorts blocking, today's Zen Score and the daily Zen Report.
ZenMode Pro lets you look back further and track your progress over time.

━━━━━━━━━━━━
💚 ZENMODE IS FOR YOU IF
━━━━━━━━━━━━
- You pick up your phone without thinking
- You lose hours to Reels and Shorts
- You want less screen time without deleting your apps
- You want a focus app that rewards you, not punishes you
- You want to build better digital wellbeing habits with friends

Quiet the noise, together. 🧘

Note: ZenMode is not a broker, exchange or investment adviser, and nothing in the app is advice to buy or sell. Gold BeES is a market-traded ETF and its value can go down. Orders are placed and held by Zerodha Kite. Please read the Gold Invest terms at zenmodeos.com before using this feature.

ZenMode is not a blocker and not a detox. It won't shame you or lock you out. It just makes the good choice the easy choice.
