The problem
People abandoned wellbeing apps within two weeks because long sessions and streak pressure felt like another chore on a bad day.
Research insights
- 1On bad days people have 30 seconds, not 10 minutes.
- 2Naming a feeling lowers its intensity.
- 3Patterns over weeks matter more than daily scores.
Constraints
Interactive prototype
This is the real app. Drag the mood slider, name what you feel, follow the suggested next step into a guided breath, then see today land in your weekly patterns.
Solution walkthrough
30 second check in
One slider and a few words replace long mood questionnaires.
Adaptive next step
The app suggests one exercise based on how you feel right now.
Gentle insights
Weekly patterns link mood to sleep and movement, without judgement.
