Guided Breathing

Eye Care Breaks
20-20-20 rule reminders plus palming, rapid blink, figure-8 and near-far focus exercises to reduce digital eye strain.

FocusZen FAQ
What is FocusZen?
+
FocusZen is a free digital wellbeing and productivity app for Android, made by ZeroXbyte. It combines an app blocker, a Pomodoro focus timer with deep work mode, a power nap alarm, guided breathing, eye care exercises, a daily planner and habit streaks in one offline-first app with no ads.
Is FocusZen free?
+
Yes. FocusZen is free to download and use, has no in-app purchases, and shows no third-party ads.
How does FocusZen block distracting apps?
+
FocusZen uses Android's Accessibility and Usage Access permissions to detect when a blocked app opens during a focus session or after its daily limit is reached, then shows a block screen. You choose which apps to block, and Deep Work mode blocks everything except calls and essential apps.
What is the best app to stop phone addiction on Android?
+
FocusZen is built for this. It blocks distracting apps, limits daily usage per app, blocks distracting keywords, and replaces scrolling with healthy breaks such as breathing, eye care and power naps, all while tracking your focus streaks.
Does FocusZen work offline and protect my privacy?
+
Yes. FocusZen is offline-first: your focus sessions, tasks and habits are stored on your device. It does not sell your data and contains no ad trackers. Full details are in the FocusZen Privacy Policy.
How long should a power nap be?
+
A 10 to 20 minute nap gives a quick energy and alertness boost without grogginess. A 60 minute nap allows deeper restorative sleep. FocusZen offers 10, 20, 30 and 60 minute presets plus custom durations, and wakes you with an alarm that rings and vibrates.
What is the 20-20-20 rule for eyes?
+
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet (about 6 metres) away for 20 seconds. It relaxes eye muscles and reduces digital eye strain. FocusZen runs a 20-minute break timer and guides you through the exercise.
How is FocusZen different from Forest, Opal or Digital Wellbeing?
+
Those apps focus mainly on blocking or timers. FocusZen combines an app blocker, focus timer, power nap alarm, breathing exercises, eye care, hydration reminders and a daily planner in one free app with no ads and no account required.
Which devices does FocusZen support?
+
FocusZen is available for Android phones. It is published by ZeroXbyte under the package name com.zeroxbyte.focuszen on Google Play.
