What is ZenFirst?
ZenFirst locks your screen until your morning routine is complete.
Unlike site blockers or habit trackers, ZenFirst takes full control of your screen. When your scheduled time arrives, your desktop is locked — no switching apps, no "just 5 minutes" of scrolling. The only way out is to finish your routine.
Built-in modules:
- Meditation timer with ambient sounds
- Guided journaling prompts
- Task planning for the day ahead
How it works:
- Set your routine start time (e.g., 6:00 AM)
- Choose which modules to include
- When the time comes, your screen locks automatically
- Complete each module to unlock your computer
Key features:
- Full-screen lock mode — no escape until you're done
- Customizable routine with multiple modules
- Progress tracking and streaks
- Works offline — no account required
- Native desktop app (not Electron) — fast and lightweight
Built with Tauri v2 for a truly native experience on both macOS and Windows. No web wrapper, no bloat.
ZenFirst is for people who are serious about building a morning routine and tired of apps that rely on willpower alone.
