Overview

Zen Space, developed by OnePlus, is a highly recommended tool app that can help you get rid of all the distractions while using your phone. It is an ideal application for people looking to concentrate and focus on their work, meditation, or even just taking a break from the fast-paced world around us.

Features

Zen Mode

The primary feature of Zen Space is its "Zen Mode," an innovative in-built mode that permits users to take a break from their phones for 20 minutes mode. During this mode, Zen Space turns off all incoming notifications, phone calls, messages, and even apps. This feature is excellent when it comes to disconnecting from the digital world, ensuring you focus on the present, in-person interactions or more important tasks at hand.

Customizable Features

Zen Space also allows customization of duration for the zen mode. The users can sit for a break of even half an hour, which is excellent if you to fit in a quick exercise session, relax or meditate in between demanding tasks.

Quick Access

Another benefit of this app is how it's easy to access. You needn't worry about navigating through multiple menus to start Zen mode. With Zen Space, activating Zen mode is only a swipe away on the notifications bar- so there's no reason to procrastinate on getting things done.

No Ads/No In-App Purchases

Zen Space is one of those apps that should (in theory) have constant advertisements interrupting your uninterrupted time. But, there is a relief. It doesn't have any ads or in-app purchases as it is free, allowing users to maximize its benefits without interruption.

Pros:

  1. Easy and quick to access Zen Mode.
  2. User-friendly and simple interface, making it easy to use.
  3. Allows customization of zen mode duration time
  4. No Ads or In-app purchases

Cons:

  1. Zen Space is pre-installed only on OnePlus devices. You might need to install an extracted APK to have access to the app if you don't use a OnePlus device.
  2. The app doesn't feature a scheduler, so users can't set up Zen Mode in any other calendar slots.

Comparison to Similar Apps

There are other apps on the market that help manage phone usage and limit distractions such as Freedom, which disables app notifications for specific periods. However, Zen Space stands out with its simplicity and ease of use. Its "swipe to activate" feature makes it stand out from other apps, where we might need to navigate deeply into settings each time.

Tips for Using the App

  1. Activate and customize Zen mode to the ideal time regularly. This habit can help to stay focused and increase productivity.
  2. Use Zen Space during your break times - this way, you'll have less tendency to procrastinate when you're meant to be working.
  3. Make sure to have everything you need before activating Zen Space, since it will block any further incoming notifications or calls while it's activated.

Conclusion

If you're searching for an app to help you cut off from the digital world and concentrate on the present, Zen Space by OnePlus is the ideal application for you. The Zen Mode, quick access tab and simple interface are the standout features of this app. Despite some limitations, if your phone is a OnePlus device or if you install an extracted APK, you should give Zen Space a try- and let yourself remain to focus on what really deserves your attention.
