SYSTEM_MESSAGE: GAMIFICATION IS A LIE.

You do not need digital rewards. You do not need to plant virtual trees while your real life rots away. You need a cage for your impulses.

ZENBLOCK_ is a brutal focus timer and app blocker. We reject positive reinforcement. We use psychological pressure, social shame, and negative consequences to sever your dopamine loop.

This is not a productivity toy. It is a Discipline Engine.

NOT ANOTHER TREE-PLANTING APP
Gamified focus timers: Plant virtual trees, earn coins, feel good about procrastinating on your garden layout.
ZENBLOCK: Lock screen. Block apps. Complete mission or face penance. No rewards. Just results.

01. THE CONTRACT [MONK_MODE]
Deep work demands sacrifice. This focus timer doesn't ask—it takes.

Declare Objective: Type your mission.
Lock Target: Timer starts. The UI hard-locks.
No Escape: We track App State. If you force-close the app to cheat, we know. The penalty waits for you on reboot.

02. MERCY_BUDGET vs. INSTANT DEATH
You have a tolerance buffer of 15 seconds for accidental exits. Use it wisely.

WARNING: Known dopamine vectors (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube) are BLACKLISTED. Opening them triggers INSTANT DEATH. Your streak is terminated immediately. Zero mercy. This is a real app blocker with real consequences.

03. THE PENANCE PROTOCOL
Failure requires payment. If you break the lock, the app enters a locked state.

The Cost: You must type 20 lines of shame to unlock (e.g., "I HAVE NO DISCIPLINE").
Entropy Decay: If you stop typing for 5 seconds, progress resets to 0.
Redemption: Complete the reps to save your streak. Or surrender and accept the failure.

04. THE WAR ROOM
Status: LIVE
View the casualty feed of other users in real-time.
"GHOST-847 FAILED @ 12m"
Witness their weakness. Do not become a statistic.

QUICK ACCESS PANEL
We are brutal, not stupid. Configure up to 5 Sanctioned Apps (Calculator, Authenticator, Calendar) to use during focus sessions without triggering a breach.
Any deviation to unsanctioned apps results in immediate alarm.

OLED_SAVER [AOD_MODE]
Hardware-efficient lock screen widget for deep work sessions.
Prevents burn-in. Keeps the timer visible. Double-tap to unlock.

THIS APP IS FOR:
[X] People who are tired of "cute" productivity timers
[X] Students who need a digital straightjacket for exam study
[X] Remote workers fighting phone addiction
[X] The 1% who value results over feelings
[X] Anyone seeking a real dopamine detox

NO TREES. NO BADGES. NO MERCY.
EXECUTE DOWNLOAD.
