Zovy
About

A small team, building calmer phones.

Zovy started from a simple, slightly annoyed observation: screen-time tools shame you into compliance for about a week, then get deleted. We wanted to try something kinder.

Kind by default

No shame, no red numbers, no lecture. Zovy nudges before a limit, never after.

Honest with your data

Encrypted, synced only to keep your devices in step. Never sold, never profiled, no ads.

Built in the open

Progress, wins and misses alike, written down on the blog as it happens — not just at launch.

Why we're doing this.

Most of us have deleted a screen-time app after a week of feeling nagged by it. That's not a willpower problem — it's a design problem. So we're building the version we'd actually want to keep: one that treats a habit like a habit, not an offense, and trusts that honesty works better than a lockout.

We're early. The site you're looking at is the first thing we've shipped in the open, and the blog is where we'll keep writing about what we build next — including the parts that don't work out.

Be first in line. Your screens will thank you.

Join the early-adopter list and lock in founding pricing for life. No spam — just one email when Zovy opens.
