Your phone, your rules.
ProdZen uses psychology-based interventions to help you build mindful digital habits. No punishment. No guilt. Just gentle, intentional living.
Gentle friction, not punishment
ProdZen creates small, psychology-backed moments of pause between you and compulsive app opens.
You open a tracked app
ProdZen detects when you open apps you've chosen to be mindful about.
A mindful pause appears
Take 3 breaths with an animated breathing circle. A moment of awareness before scrolling.
You choose consciously
Continue with intention, close the app, or set a goal. The choice is always yours.
Everything you need for digital wellness
Mindful Pause Screens
Psychology-based breathing exercises create conscious friction. Not a wall — a doorway to intentional usage.
Intention Setting
"I want to reply to 3 messages" — state your purpose before entering an app.
Usage Analytics
Detailed hourly, daily, weekly charts to understand your patterns.
Focus Sessions
Block distracting apps during deep work. Customizable allowed lists.
Achievements
Gamified wellness milestones. Celebrate progress, not restriction.
Gentle Limits
"You've hit your limit 🌙 Nice work today!" — supportive, never punishing.
Monochrome by intention
Our UI uses only black, white, and gray to reduce cognitive load. Colors appear only in mindful intervention screens — accents of calm, not distraction.

Mindful, not restrictive
The psychology behind ProdZen's approach to digital wellness.
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our freedom and our power to choose."— Viktor Frankl
Friction, Not Walls
We don't lock you out. We insert a moment of conscious pause — a breathing exercise, a question about intent. Research shows that just 6 seconds of delay can break 73% of compulsive app opens.
Support, Not Shame
When you exceed a limit, we say "Nice work today! 🌙" — not "You failed." Warm amber tones replace angry reds. Positive reinforcement creates lasting behavioral change; punishment creates anxiety.
Awareness, Not Surveillance
ProdZen detects which app is open — nothing more. We never read screen content, messages, passwords, or browsing history. Your data never leaves your device.
Choice, Always
Every intervention includes a "Continue" button. Every limit screen has an "Extend" option. We trust you to make the right call. Our job is just to make sure you're making it consciously.
Monochrome for Clarity
Our UI is intentionally black, white, and gray. Color reduces decision fatigue. A wellness app shouldn't compete for your attention — it should calm it. Colors appear only in mindful screens as gentle accent.
Attention Restoration
Periodic micro-breaks (3 deep breaths) reduce cognitive fatigue and break dopamine-driven scrolling loops more effectively than a single gate at app open. Our recurring timer is built on this research.
Our Approach vs. Others
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 20, 2026 • Effective: April 20, 2026
ProdZen ("we", "our", or "us") is a digital wellbeing application designed to help users reduce compulsive screen time and build mindful habits. To provide these features, ProdZen strictly operates 100% locally on your device.
This Privacy Policy explains the limited data required to operate ProdZen, with a specific focus on our use of the Android AccessibilityService API.
1. Prominent Disclosure: Use of AccessibilityService API
ProdZen requires the use of the Android AccessibilityService API to function as a digital wellbeing tool. This service is strictly used to evaluate foreground applications and overlay mindful interventions.
Why we need AccessibilityService API:
- Detecting App Opens: To know when you open an application that you have selected for mindful tracking or focus blocking.
- Displaying Interventions: To draw mindful pause screens (breathing exercises), intention-setting prompts, and focus mode blocks over the tracked apps you open.
What data does the AccessibilityService access?
The AccessibilityService ONLY accesses:
- The package name of the app actively running on your screen (e.g.,
com.instagram.android). - App and window state change events (when an app is opened or closed).
What the AccessibilityService does NOT access (No Data Collection):
We respect your privacy completely. ProdZen does not and cannot read, collect, store, or transmit:
- Any on-screen content, text, or images.
- Passwords, typed text, messages, or form inputs.
- Your browser history, URLs, or search queries.
- Personal files, contacts, camera, or clipboard data.
ProdZen explicitly configures the AccessibilityService with canRetrieveWindowContent="false" to guarantee screen content remains inaccessible.
2. 100% Local Storage & Processing
ProdZen is designed to be completely private. We guarantee that:
- No Cloud Sync: All app usage data, intentions you type, focus settings, and screen time statistics are stored strictly locally in your device's isolated storage sandbox.
- Offline Processing: All event handling and usage calculations happen offline on your device.
- No Data Selling or Ad Profiling: Because your data never leaves your device, it is impossible for us to sell it, share it with third parties, or use it for advertisement profiling.
3. Information We Collect (Optional Diagnostics)
If you explicitly opt-in or your device allows it, we may receive aggregate, anonymized crash reports via Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs. This data contains no personally identifiable information and is completely separate from the Accessibility API.
4. User Controls & Consent
You have full control over ProdZen's permissions:
- Revoking Accessibility: You can disable the AccessibilityService at any time via
Android Settings > Accessibility > ProdZen > Off. (Note: Mindful interventions will stop working). - Data Deletion: Because all data is stored locally, you can permanently delete your entire usage history by uninstalling the app or clearing the app's local data in Android Settings.
