A Bloom Card alternative from Germany – mindfully less screen time
Looking for an alternative to the Bloom Card that is made in Europe and respects your data? Zenbox is the minimalist way to reduce your screen time – without a subscription, without an account and without your data flowing off to the US.
Like the Bloom Card, Zenbox uses a physical NFC ritual: tap it, and distracting apps disappear until you consciously bring them back. The difference is in the details – made in Germany, data-minimal and beautifully designed.
The most important differences to the Bloom Card
Zenbox is designed and 3D-printed in Germany – short distances, fair quality and sustainable, oil-free material instead of mass production overseas. Bloom is a US company.
Your usage data belongs to you: 100% local, no cloud, no tracking, EU data protection. With a US provider like Bloom, your data is subject to US law.
Zenbox costs €49.99 including shipping from Germany. With the US Bloom Card, EU customers often face customs duty, import VAT and longer delivery times.
No registration, no login, no email address. You can start using Zenbox right away – and use it for life without any subscription.
Zenbox is not a techy gadget but a beautiful object you enjoy using and like to leave in plain sight. Focus begins the moment you touch it.
