In 2024, Oxford made “brain rot” the word of the year. The term means long, mindless scrolling on social media. But are social media really that bad? They still help us work, connect, and study. We believe the key is balance. Taskfulness helps you keep valuable interactions while limiting the doomscrolling. The results: our members save 28-36% of their screen time daily, without missing out. Want intentional screen time? Try Taskfulness free for 7 days. Built on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy principles.


 HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick an app 
 Select the apps that steal most of your time. For example, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, Gmail, etc. 2. Set intention 
 Each time you open a chosen app, Taskfulness will pop up and ask: “Why do you need it?” and “For how long?”. Once you enter the reason, the app opens. 3. Stay focused* 
 Use the app for the duration you set. Mid-session, you’ll get a quick reminder of your original intention. When time’s up, the app closes automatically. 
 *works only with Reminders on WHY TASKFULNESS

Every other feed pays you for posting about a life. Peer Pressure only pays you when you actually live one. You can't post here without doing something first. No highlight reel, no performance, no scrolling for two hours to feel worse. Commit to something in front of your friends, do it, and post the proof. Don't do it, and they'll see that too. POST PROOF, NOT VIBES Set a commitment, give it a deadline, and lock it in. Your friends see it the second you post. When the deadline hits, everyone finds out how it went. A FEED THAT COSTS SOMETHING See what your friends are actually doing, not what they want you to think they're doing. Like the wins. Roast the failures. That's the whole app. GROUPS AND LEADERBOARDS Run group challenges and race your friends. A run club, a study group, a startup grind. Everyone can see who's actually showing up. LOCKEDIN FOCUS SESSIONS Start a session and your friends can see you're off your phone. The clock is watching, and so are they. STREAKS AND STATS Your streaks, your completions, your focus time. Reputation you had to earn instead of curate. You already know how much time you spend watching other people do things. Try being one of them.
