Problem:
You want to ‘just have a quick look at your mobile phone’ and suddenly two hours are gone? Social media is designed to keep you there. Even though you know how pointless and time-consuming endless scrolling (doom scrolling) is, it's hard to just stop.
Idea:
"Oops, TikTok has taken the rest of the day off!" We're not demonising social media - we know it's useful. However, we also know how easy it is to lose control. Doom helps you to consume more consciously. Instead of blocking you, our app Doom focuses on making social media less appealing, alerting you to your consumption and reminding you of your goals.
Solution:
Doom works as a client through which you access your apps - with small restrictions that you set individually and consciously. These include, for example, black and white filters, annoying loading times before videos and a fixed scroll limit. Once you've used up your daily quota of videos, you'll be given maths problems... or you can just stop straight away ;).
