What the listing should make clear.

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 and give each a limit. When you reach it, Zenmo shows a short pause: how long you've spent, one question about why you're opening the app, and a quick on-device exercise. The pause is intentionally bypassable: it is a speed bump you choose, not a lock imposed on you.

• Learn sets a daily limit per app with a short exercise at the limit, and can turn verified WaniKani progress into capped earned minutes.
• Deep Work adds focus windows, Pomodoro rounds with rests, and optional allowlist focus while your limits keep working.
• Detox closes every app on your list for 1 day, 3 days, or a week, and can't be cut short.
• Limits can be hourly, daily, or weekly, and Home shows how today is going.
• Breaks give you a few 15-minute breaks each week, and “Blocking off for 15 min” in the notification opens everything for 15 minutes.
• Circle adds optional promises kept with a Supporter, a personal consequence you choose, 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, pause answers, and website matches stay on your device. If you add a Supporter, 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.
