This puck helps you stare at your smartphone less often.
“The Zenbox is such a well-made gadget for digital breaks that you wonder why nobody thought of it before. It reduces the time you spend on your smartphone effectively and without hassle. There is no subscription, no sign-up and the app shares no data with the developer.”

Why the dinner table specifically?
Shared meals are often the only daily time everyone's in one place. Research on family meals shows: conversation happens here, you notice how kids really are. A screen at the table halves that — for adults as much as children.
From ban to self-evident
- Decide the rule together: "Phones off while eating" — when everyone buys in, it lands twice as well.
- Make it physical: before eating, phones locked via Zenbox — a 5-second ritual like washing hands.
- Parents first: the rule collapses the moment dad checks "just one email." Visible fairness is the whole trick.
Unlike a classic ban: nobody takes anything away. Phones sit on the sideboard — they're just quiet. After two weeks nobody asks anymore.

FAQ
Phone basket or app lock — what's better?
The basket works until someone "just quickly looks something up." The lock stays even then.
What if an important call comes?
Calls can be excluded — it's about feeds and games, not emergency reachability.
From what age can we introduce this?
Immediately — the earlier phone-free meals are normal, the less discussion later. More: screen time for kids.
