What the listing should make clear.
Zenmo is adult self-control: intentionally bypassable, privacy-first, available in four languages, and payment-free in the current release.
Zenmo
Choose a thoughtful speed bump before the apps and sites that pull you in.
Chosen friction for focus
Zenmo is a self-control app for adults who want more space between impulse and action. Choose the apps and websites that pull you in. When you open one, Zenmo presents a short on-device learning exercise before access. The gate is intentionally bypassable: it is a speed bump you choose, not a lock imposed on you.
- Learn uses budgets and gates and can turn verified WaniKani progress into capped unlock minutes.
- Deep Work creates focus schedules, Pomodoro rhythms, and optional allowlist friction.
- Detox sets a fixed, time-boxed commitment for selected apps or sites.
- Budgets keep hourly, daily, or weekly use visible.
- Relief valves include budgeted emergency passes and a separate 15-minute failsafe.
- Circle adds optional supervisors, personal consequences, commitments, and Karma without payments.
- Languages include English, Uzbek, Russian, and Korean in the app and on this website.
Your complete app inventory, raw event history, gate answers, and website matches stay on your device. If you connect a supervisor, separate controls let you approve specific aggregate categories or a selected app summary for that relationship. Zenmo is not parental control, employee monitoring, surveillance, or device administration.
