ZenBlock: Mindful Web Blocker & Focus Timer tekijä Nayan Surya

Regain your focus with ZenBlock, the website blocker that uses psychology to stop mindless browsing. Whether you need a Pomodoro timer, a site blocker for study, or a tool to manage ADHD distractions, ZenBlock provides the mindful friction you need to stay on task.

Most blockers rely on willpower that fades by 2 PM. ZenBlock interrupts the dopamine cycle with a gentle 30-second "Mindful Pause," giving you the control to close the tab before you get sucked into social media. Instead of an aggressive "Access Denied" page, you get a moment to breathe, reflect, and choose focus over cheap dopamine.

🛑 Stop Doomscrolling with Mindful Friction
You didn’t plan to waste time; distraction starts automatically. ZenBlock helps you break the "dopamine loop." By adding a smart delay before you visit sites like YouTube, Instagram, or X (Twitter), you regain the executive function to stay productive.

✨ Key Features
🧘 The Mindful Pause (Smart Delay): No jarring error pages. Instead, see a calming breathing exercise. A 30-second pause gives your brain a chance to choose deep work over distraction.

🛡️ Strict Mode (The Lockbox): For when willpower fails. Activate Strict Mode to hide the "Unlock" button completely. Password protection ensures you can’t cheat during deep work sessions.

🍅 Focus Mode & Pomodoro Timer: Need to study or grind? Set a productivity timer (25, 45, or 60 minutes) and whitelist only essential tools like Notion or Gmail.

📅 Scheduled Blocking: Automate your discipline. Automatically block distractions during your specific work hours (e.g., Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

📊 Privacy-First Analytics: Visualize your habits without sacrificing privacy. See how many "Mindful Breaths" you took versus how many times you unlocked a site.
