The problem
Why normal app blockers don't work.
You've probably tried it: Screen Time, focus apps, good resolutions. And then?
"Ignore limit" is a button
Apple Screen Time asks politely – and you tap "Remind me in 15 minutes." Software locks negotiate. Zenbox doesn't.
The subscription trap
Many blocker apps cost €5–10 every month, forever. You buy Zenbox once. The app is free, no account needed.
Willpower isn't a strategy
Every software lock ends up in your pocket. Zenbox lives somewhere else – and that walk across the room is the lock that holds.
How it works
Block apps in three steps.
Pick your apps
In the free Zenbox app, choose exactly the apps and websites that distract you – from Instagram to news sites.
Hold your phone to the box
Hold your phone briefly against the Zenbox – like contactless pay. The lock is active.
Enjoy the focus
Your apps stay locked until you consciously walk back to the Zenbox. No tapping away, no bypassing.

More than an app blocker
Locks that fit your life.
Focus sessions & schedules
Start locks on a timer or let them run automatically – every morning, every evening, on your rhythm.
Limits instead of bans
Instagram once a day or max 20 minutes? Set open-count and daily limits per app – then it's done.
Websites & browsers too
Distraction isn't just apps: Zenbox can block websites across all browsers if you want.
App blocker without subscription
€49.99 once – no monthly costs, ever.
Physical app blocker
The lock lives in the room, not in your willpower.
NFC, no setup stress
Hold to unlock like paying – no Bluetooth, no battery.
iPhone & Android
For iPhone plus Pixel & Samsung (more coming).
FAQ
Can I block apps on iPhone?
Yes. Zenbox uses official Apple Screen Time tech – but with physical unlock instead of an "ignore limit" button. From iOS 16.2.
Does app blocking work on Android too?
Yes – the Zenbox app is available for Google Pixel and Samsung; more manufacturers are being tested.
Can't I just bypass the lock?
That's the point: to unlock you must physically go to the Zenbox. Emergency unlock is deliberately limited – and can be turned off entirely.
What does the app blocker cost per month?
Nothing. Zenbox is €49.99 once – the app is free, no subscription, no account.
Can I block social media completely?
Yes – lock individual apps, whole categories (e.g. all social apps), or websites. You decide how strict.
