Launched last Wednesday by creator Eric Wolfram, the application encourages users to adopt specific personas, such as a "lifelong learner" or "cyclist." Once a category is selected from the 75 available options, the app sends targeted notifications with actionable missions, like watching a short educational video or attending a local lecture. Users maintain complete control over their notification frequency, with a "Break Your Scroll" feature even utilizing Siri to read tasks aloud while the phone is in use.
MeBeMe app swaps doomscrolling for daily self-improvement missions
Instead of locking users out of their smartphones, the new MeBeMe app attempts to break the cycle of endless scrolling by assigning small, identity-driven tasks. By nudging users toward real-world habits rather than restricting screen time, the tool aims to bridge the gap between digital distraction and personal growth.
Wolfram originally developed the software for his son before discovering its utility for his own productivity. Privacy remains a central pillar of the design: the app functions without requiring an account, stores all data locally on the device, and avoids both advertisements and subscription models. Currently available as a free download for iOS, the platform is expected to expand to Android devices in the near future, offering a minimalist approach to habit building.
