About
ZenBlock is a Chrome extension designed to enhance productivity by blocking distracting websites. It focuses on promoting deep work and reducing time spent on social media and other attention-consuming sites, thus helping users reclaim over two hours daily. The tool employs a privacy-first approach, ensures all operations stay local on the user's device, and avoids tracking or selling browsing data. It leverages strategies like 'mindful friction' and 'scheduled downtime' to help users break habits of doomscrolling and improve focus without relying solely on willpower. Features include a strict mode for unbreakable blocking, a focus timer, cloud sync, and analytics for browsing habits. ZenBlock offers a simple, one-time payment plan for lifetime access, along with a free version that includes core functionalities. It's tailored for individuals seeking mindful focus and long-term productivity enhancements, rather than complex configurations or free models that compromise privacy.
