About the startup
Zone: Focus Timer & Blocker is an IOS application designed to help users manage their time and minimise distractions. Available on the App Store, the app combines timer functionality with blocking capabilities to enhance focus and productivity. Users can track their work sessions and implement restrictions on distracting apps. Zone is an uncompromising focus timer and app blocker designed for professionals who need absolute discipline for deep work. Unlike standard timers, Zone utilises Apple’s native Screen Time API to physically shield distracting applications, featuring a signature "Strict Mode" that intentionally disables the ability to cancel an active session once it begins. Built with a strict "Zero-Knowledge" architecture, the app operates entirely on-device with zero third-party tracking or analytics SDKs.
