About Zndo

Zndo is a focus app for iPhone that blocks distracting apps during sessions using Apple's native technology. You choose which apps to restrict and when. Standard sessions block apps during set times, Habit sessions keep apps blocked until your to-do list is complete, and Deep Work sessions add bonus rewards. Staying on track earns Flow Points, progress through Zen Levels and streak bonuses, and a global leaderboard lets you compare with other users.

Analytics show focus time and patterns, and the listing stresses privacy, with data kept locally. Pro unlocks the Habit and Deep Work session types, four weeks of historical screen time stats, 25 percent higher Flow Point rewards, more than one active session at a time, full leaderboard access and the Ascension Levels. The app is free to download with in-app purchases and starts with a free session.
