Doomscroll Recovery Ladder
Go from months of scrolling and paralysis to one small action a day
- Problem
- Heavy doomscrolling pushes people into a state of executive dysfunction: nothing feels worth doing, and personal projects or exam plans stall indefinitely. Community posts describe months of scrolling and half a year lost, creators too drained by school and family to work on their comic, and knowing the problem without being able to start.
- Solution
- Not another screen-time dashboard but a recovery ladder: one micro-action under 10 minutes suggested each day, logged on completion to unlock the next rung, with streak feedback; when scrolling passes a threshold it nudges with a substitute action. Data stays on device.
- Users
- Students and young professionals in a scrolling slump who want to restart; creators drained by school and family life.
- MVP
- One 10-minute micro-task per day; completion logging and level-up progress; screen-time read-in with threshold nudges; local data, no account.
- Revenue
- Free base ladder; subscription for custom task libraries, focus analytics and export; optional one-time buyout.
- Why now
- Attention products have created widespread scrolling burnout, but existing tools stop at tracking plus blocking and lack a gradual path from paralysis to action; a mobile MVP is a two-to-three-week solo build.
