About Zenwell: Stop doomscrolling

Zenwell helps you break the cycle of mindless doomscrolling and reduce screentime. Select which apps you want to block(Eg: Instagram, Youtube Shorts) and Zenwell would not allow you open the app, unless you solve some hard math problems or practice breathing.

🚀 Key Features

• Customizable Schedules: Select specific apps to block and set active windows (e.g., 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) and specific weekdays.

• Dynamic Unlock Methods: Choose your level of friction to regain focus:

• Strict Block: No entry allowed during restricted hours.

• Timer: Wait for a set countdown before the app opens.

• Breathing Timer: A guided pause to calm the "scroll reflex."

• Math Problems: Solve math equations or multiplication tables.

• Intentional Typing: Type a custom message to proceed.

• Pomodoro Mode: Integrated focus sessions to balance work and rest.

• Privacy First: No Internet permission. Your data stays on your device.

This project is in active development and various bugs are expected. Please report any issues at GitHub.
