Quiet the noise, together.
ZenMode OS is an Android launcher built on one idea: make the healthier choice easier than the impulsive one. Not a blocker, not a detox, not a lecture about your screen time.
If there's a hook, why can't we unhook it? That's ZenMode: reverse engineered, hook-less.
People are finding their quiet.

I've been using Zen Launcher and really like the clean and distraction-free experience. The UI is simple, smooth, and easy to use. It makes the phone feel organized and lightweight without unnecessary clutter. App search is fast, performance is good, and the minimalist design helps improve focus. Definitely a great launcher for anyone who prefers a calm and neat home screen experience.

A Good user friendly launcher, I suggest everyone to use it once. I love unique features like random connect. One suggestion as a user is - we need a user choice colour changing option for the launcher's UI

It's a great launcher, I have used till date
EVERYTHING IN V3
One launcher. Everything that helps you stop.
Distraction Blocker
Quiet Reels and Shorts, keep the app. Messages and search still work.
Zen Score
One number out of 10: your screen time against your own promise, and how calm the sessions were.
Zen Circle
A small circle of friends, ranked by calm. The wheel turns to whoever is around today.
Random connect
Share a link, trade codes, or get matched with someone who wants the same quiet.
Weekly recap
Five cards every week: what pulled at you, what you kept, one change for next week.
Zen Gold
Keep your promise 5 days of 7 and Gold Invest opens. The units sit in your own demat.
A quiet home screen
A black home screen with about 8 apps you choose. Nothing lit up asking to be tapped.
- No badges, no widgets
- Swipe right for your Zen Score
- Light or dark, your call
My Promise
Pick a daily screen-time promise you can keep. Edit it once a week, twice on Pro.
Delayed unlockCOMING SOON
A quieted app will wait a moment before it opens. Long enough to ask if you meant it.
Use one or all. It all lives in the launcher, so there is nothing else to open.
01 · THE ONE THING
One number that can go up.
Most screen-time tools count down on you. ZenMode gives you a score you earn back, a person who sees it, and a reward worth keeping.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
To help people reduce unintentional and meaningless phone use by creating an environment that makes intentional use easier, while providing accountability and rewards for healthier behaviour.
PROBLEM
Unintentional and meaningless phone use.
SOLUTION
An environment that makes intentional use easier.
USP
Accountability and a rewards system for healthier behaviour.
POSITIONING
People don't need to abandon their phones. They need a better relationship with them.
ZenMode turns mindless phone use into intentional engagement through mindfulness, accountability and positive rewards.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Not a blocker. Not a detox. It will not shame you, cap your minutes, or treat every hour on a screen as a failure.
02 · HOW IT WORKS
Three moving parts.
01 · INTENT
Say why you opened it
Declare a session and a length before the app opens. The friction is the feature, and it lasts about two seconds.
02 · ZEN SCORE
One number, out of 10
Three quarters is screen time against the daily promise you set. One quarter is session quality: calm, intentional use counts fully. Seven or more is a mindful day.
03 · ZEN REPORT
One receipt a day
Every deduction and gain, itemised with minutes attached. Your accountability partner sees the number and the direction, nothing else.

TODAY’S ZEN SCORE

03 · ZEN SCORE
Accountability without the guilt.
Pair with one other ZenMode user through Random Connect. No social graph, no mutual friends, no feed. Just one person who sees your number move, which turns out to be all the pressure anyone needs.
LOWERS IT
Screen time past half your daily promise; at twice the promise that part reaches zero. Sessions that break up or drift into a feed.
RAISES IT
Staying within your promise; up to half of it costs nothing. Intentional sessions count fully, entertainment counts half.
04 · GOLD INVEST
Rewards you can't doomscroll.
A streak that turns into a badge is just dopamine wearing a different hat. So ZenMode points the habit at something that holds value instead: Gold BeES, the gold ETF traded on the NSE.
STEP 01
You pick the quantity
Choose how many units of Gold BeES you want. ZenMode shows you the number, never a recommendation.
STEP 02
Kite takes the order
You are handed off to Zerodha Kite. Your broker handles KYC, payment, execution, settlement and demat custody.
STEP 03
We hold nothing
ZenMode never touches your money and never holds your units. The gold sits in your demat account, in your name.
TRY IT · PICK A QUANTITY
5
UNITS OF GOLD BeES
WHY THERE IS NO PRICE HERE
Because we would be guessing. Gold BeES trades on the exchange and moves all day. The number you pay is the one Kite shows you at the second you confirm, and that is the only number worth printing.
So ZenMode shows you units, and then gets out of the way.
ZenMode is not a broker, an exchange, or an investment adviser, and nothing in the app is a recommendation to buy or sell. Gold BeES is a market-traded ETF: its value moves with the gold price and can fall. Read the Gold Invest terms before you use the feature.
THE DESIGN SYSTEM
Albeit (awl-bee-it)
conjunction · although, though
Smartphones are addictive, Albeit we make it “Zen.” Every colour, type layer, icon and sticker in ZenMode comes from one documented system, and the whole thing is public.
OPEN SOURCE · GPLv3
Open source from day one.
An app that asks for your attention should be readable. ZenMode OS is built in the open under GPLv3: read the code, open an issue, send a fix, or build it yourself. No dark patterns to hide, no ads paying for your minutes.
- On device Usage stats are worked out on your phone. Your buddy sees a score, not a log.
- No ads Nothing in ZenMode is paid for by holding your attention longer.
