What is Zentral?
Zentral combines distraction blocking, mindful breathwork, and habit-building to help you create rituals for consistent deep work and lasting focus. Build streaks, track progress, and make productivity sustainable.
Problem
Users struggle with maintaining consistent focus and productivity due to constant digital distractions and unsustainable work habits. Traditional solutions like basic website blockers lack integrated mindfulness practices and habit-strengthening mechanisms, leading to burnout and fragmented workflows.
Solution
A browser extension combining distraction blocking with mindful breathwork exercises and habit-strend tracking. Users can create customized focus sessions, trigger calming breathing techniques during breaks, and build streaks to reinforce productive behaviors (e.g., blocking social media while activating timed breathing pauses between work sprints).
Customers
Remote workers, knowledge workers, and students aged 20-45 who frequently work digitally and value intentional productivity. Key behaviors include multitasking across 10+ browser tabs daily while seeking sustainable focus methods.
Unique Features
Simultaneous distraction blocking + biofeedback breathing + visual streak tracking in one interface. Unique 'habit ritual' builder combines breathwork timing with site blocking rules for neurological reinforcement.
