I'm working on an exciting venture in Digital Wellbeing. We're building a simple but neat tool to help improve our digital wellbeing. We are different because we use Social Self Regulation (SSR) as a core feature to help us achieve our goals (SSR is basically asking a buddy to keep an eye on you whilst you do something) The success of our project relies on tight-knit networks of people who want to improve their phone habits. If you think that's you, then please reach out and connect, no pressure, I'm not selling anything. It's just cool to connect with like-minded people.

nomp exists because phone addiction isn’t a personal failure, it’s a design problem. Our devices and apps are engineered to pull our attention, fragment our focus, and keep us coming back for more. nomp starts from a simple belief: we’re not broken, but the system is stacked against us. We’re building tools that help people use their phones with more intention, not less technology. nomp uses social accountability, small commitments, and real-world incentives to help you put your phone down, together, supported by our existing networks. No shaming, no digital detox theatrics. Just practical structures that make it easier to be present in your life. At its core, nomp is about reclaiming attention. It's for conversations, creativity, rest, exercise and the moments that actually matter. We’re exploring what healthier digital habits can look like when they’re shared, supported, and designed with humanity in mind. nomp willl launch on IOS late february 2026 you can check us out and sign up for our mailling list here: www.nomp.ch And check out our bigger picture platform where we learn, read and write about digital wellbeing here: www.wiseeyesopen.com

Feeling inspired? Yes I am! Finding solutions to phone addiction and generally improving our habits around our devices & technology is the most important challenge facing us today. Why? Because it underpins all the other issues we have in our society (polarisation, atttention, mental health, democratic structure, balanced progress). So.... I'm building nomp. nomp is a tool which will initially be a mobile app (yes, i appreciate the irony) and will enable users to make a commitment to time away from their device(s). Importantly, they will be able to ask their connections to support them on their commit which simply means they will be notified if they succeed or not. We call this social self regulation. It is imperative to combatting this issue because we know that will power alone is not enough. nomp will launch on IOS by end of february 2026. We have a small but strong team, passionate about what we're doing. Around nomp we are learning, reading and writing about digital wellbeing in our newsletter on wiseeyesopen.com Any help from in and arouns the Inspired community or simply, your support would mean the world to us thanks for reading, Iain
