i have been using this app for about a month now and honestly it's helped a lot. i get distracted really easily especially with my phone and this app's blocking feature (both apps and websites) actually works, not like other apps i've tried before. it genuinely keeps me focused when i need to study or work. only thing i'd say is maybe add a bit more customization in how the blocking schedule works but overall pretty happy with it so far"

The app works exceptionally works. It does everything it promises and then some. What elevates the experience more is the amazing support. Every time there is an issue, I have received outstanding service. Usually any problems that pop up are dealt with within a day or so. Couldn't be happier with the app.

Great app, even better customer support. It's very customisable, with lots of different options of blocking, scheduling, prevention from bypassing it... It's really hard to procrastinate now. I had a question about the app, and the customer support was very quick to answer me in a clear and kind way. I definitely recommend it.

I absolutely love Digital Zen! It has been a game changer for me. The strict mode keeps me focused and away from distracting sites, and I can already feel the positive impact on my health and productivity. The app is awesome, easy to use, and their customer service is top-notch—quick responses and really helpful solutions. Five stars!

I’ve been using the app since switching to Linux and have found it extremely helpful for blocking both websites and other applications. It’s highly customizable, with flexible blacklist and whitelist options and a set of scheduling controls that cover every scenario I could ever think of. You can also enable settings that make blocks difficult to interrupt. I also appreciate the pre-built templates that let you set up blocks for common time‑draining sites in seconds. Customer support has also been responsive and quick to help.
