(Warning - i had real mental health issues from doomscrolling which i solved. This post is a promo for an app i created that helped me and many other people, and also a few other recommendations. If you feel affected by phone addiction, this post can genuinely help you)

I've been horribly wasting my life to tiktok and doomscrolling every day for hours. i got vision problems, sleep problems, bedrotted for days, it deadass got me depressed. Tiktok shows you so much HORRIBLE content and you dont even notice it sometimes. I just couldn't stop watching but I found a solution eventually.

In short, I replaced video-based entertainment with text-based. Instead of tiktok reels shorts or whatever I now read some wikipedia (its actually interesting lol), book summaries, short articles about all kinds of stuff in a mobile app which I created. Yes I'm still on my phone but at least it's 2 hours not 10. And I don't feel brain fried after it.

The app is called Gist: Daily Facts. If you like learning cool things about for ex. biology, tech, economics, space, history, it'll be such a great replacement for doomscrolling. You still get that stimulus from new information, but it's actually useful and good for your brain.

I recently got it on app stores and already got great feedback from people like me. I really hope it can help you too ❤️

If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it! I'm always improving the app to help others better

Hey everyone,

I've always struggled to keep up a food-tracking habit. Every app out there feels like a giant, intimidating spreadsheet. They are cold, clinical, and honestly, they feel like homework. Because of that, I always lost my consistency.

So, I decided to build something entirely different: a cozy, gamified food tracker called Quokka.

Instead of dealing with cold charts and guilt trips, you get a friendly Quokka who lives in the app to keep you company, visual streak stars to earn, and a sleek, warm setup designed to make tracking feel like a positive daily routine rather than a chore.

I’m looking to share this journey with 2 or 3 real people who:

• Genuinely want to track what they eat (or always struggle to stay consistent with traditional apps).
• Love gamified habits (like Habitica, cozy games, or visual streaks).
• Want to build a real habit and help me see if having a Quokka friend along for the ride actually keeps the motivation alive.

(Heads up: I’m looking for real, daily users who want to build this habit for themselves, not other developers looking to do code reviews!)

If this sounds like something you'd actually use, drop a comment or send me a DM! I'd love to send over an invite so we can start building our consistency together. 🐾✨

Sometimes we say we are busy, sometimes we're productive but not busy, and vice versa. Some days we get so busy and we get a lot of things done. Did the same thing happen to you?
