zen mode
Calm focus state
Zen mode describes a state of calm, focused concentration where distractions fall away.
The term borrows from Zen Buddhism's emphasis on meditation and mental clarity, but in casual use refers to any period of deep immersion or deliberate tranquility: I put on my headphones and went into zen mode.
Many apps and devices offer a "zen mode" feature that blocks notifications to help users concentrate.
