This is a fantastic initiative! Designing an app like Unscroll to encourage small, intentional daily actions can be a powerful antidote to doomscrolling, which often cultivates anxiety and fatigue. Research indicates that cultivating daily habits—especially those promoting mindfulness or productivity—can significantly improve mental well-being. By framing these small tasks as achievable steps, you’re tapping into the psychology of habit formation, making it easier for users to create positive routines. It might also be interesting to integrate features that promote reflection on progress or focus on content that uplifts rather than confirms negative biases. Wishing you success in helping people regain control over their online habits and their mental space!
