ZenMode OS is an open source Android launcher that makes the intentional choice easier than the impulsive one. One Zen Score, real accountability, and rewards that land in gold instead of dopamine.

Hey Product Hunters, My mom used to say "It's that damn phone." She wasn't wrong, but it was never a willpower thing. Every app on your phone is built around a loop: trigger, action, reward, back to the trigger(Hook cycle). So Srinivas and I built a launcher that cuts the return path. (We unhooked it) You get - One Zen Score out of ten, - One accountability partner, (and Zen Circle too, group of your friends & Loved ones) - Make screen time promise, If your promise kept investing gold window opens and - One review wraps at the end of the every week. & lot more.. No ads. No guilt. The whole loop is free, and the code is public. We'd love to hear where it drifts for you. Tell us in the comments. (we'll be here all the day, If you're shy here mail us your feedback helpdesk@zenmodeos.com)

Hey everyone, Srinivas here, the other half 👋

@kamalraaj_senthilkumar shaped what ZenMode OS is: the Zen Score, the promises, the weekly review, the feel. I spent most of my time on how it works underneath, and in this version we both crossed over a bit. He shipped code, I did more product work. That swap made v3 better.

A few things from the engineering side:

🏠 It's a real launcher, not a blocker app. ZenMode replaces your home screen, so the calm starts the moment you unlock your phone, not after you've already opened Instagram.

🔒 Your per-app usage stays on your phone. Only your daily total and Zen Score sync, and only so your buddy or Circle can see them. No ads, no selling data.

🧑‍💻 The code is public (GPLv3), so you can check for yourself: https://github.com/ThammanaSrinivas/zenmode

🎁 For launch day: use ZENPRO90 for 90 days of ZenMode Pro.

We built this with a two-person team and a lot of late nights. If something breaks, feels off, or you'd like a feature, tell me here. I'm reading every comment today.
