Business Idea:
A playful habit-forming app that helps users stick to their screen time limits by turning self-control into a fun community challenge. Once limits are reached, users showcase silly videos to encourage accountability and reduce doomscrolling.
Problem:
People struggle with excessive screen time and compulsive social media use, leading to wasted productivity and mental fatigue.
Solution:
A mobile app that lets users set daily screen time limits; when exceeded, they post humorous or silly videos as a “wall of shame” shared with friends, transforming self-discipline into a fun social activity.
Target Audience:
Young adults, productivity enthusiasts, mindful social media users, and anyone seeking to curb excessive screen time while enjoying a humorous community experience.
Monetization:
Freemium model with optional in-app purchases for customizations or premium features; partnerships with mental health or productivity brands; targeted ads related to wellness.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Combines accountability with humor, making screen time management engaging and social, unlike traditional guardrail apps or timers.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple iOS prototype allowing users to set limits and upload funny videos. Gather user feedback, iterate, and add social sharing features. Partner with influencers for initial promotion.
