To help people spend more time on content they love—and less time on what's trending on social media
Many mobile phone users admit to spending excessive time on their devices, with some acknowledging that this usage can harm their mental health. This is where Thoughtful aims to make a difference.
Thoughtful’s app runs on the idea that addiction to social media can be changed into a meaningful experience, rather than time on trending and viral content. However, simply reducing screen time won't solve this problem, as Thoughtful's CEO knows firsthand from their experience as one of the original engineers behind Facebook's first native iPhone app.
Instead, Thoughtful focuses on the opportunity to live radically better lives by engaging with content that truly matters. By curating personalized content that aligns with your interests, Thoughtful transforms wasted time on social media into valuable moments of learning and growth, making users more fulfilled with their downtime.
