Show HN: ZenLocks – A privacy-first, subscription-free iOS screen time blocker

- ZenLocks is a newly released iOS app that helps users lock themselves out of distracting apps or websites for a set period. It is "privacy-first" (no data leaves the device) and "subscription-free" (one-time purchase), contrasting with many existing screen-time tools that require recurring fees. - The app was posted on Hacker News ("Show HN"), a section of the Y Combinator-linked forum where developers showcase side projects and get feedback. This signals it is likely an independent, early-stage product rather than a large company release. - iOS has built-in Screen Time controls, but many users find them easy to bypass or limited. Third-party blockers have restrictions under Apple's sandbox, so ZenLocks likely uses configuration profiles (a standard Apple mechanism) or a VPN-based approach to enforce blocks. - The "subscription-free" angle highlights a broader trend: many productivity apps on the App Store have shifted to subscription models, causing fatigue among users who prefer one-time purchases.
