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.
No shame, no red numbers, no lecture. Zovy nudges before a limit, never after.
Encrypted, synced only to keep your devices in step. Never sold, never profiled, no ads.
Progress, wins and misses alike, written down on the blog as it happens — not just at launch.

The year we started building
Indie
Bootstrapped — no investors setting the roadmap
Remote
A small, distributed team
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, but we're live: the dashboard, the Chrome extension, and the first desktop apps are out in the free beta, and the blog is where we keep writing about what we build next — including the parts that don't work out.
