THE JOY OF
MISSING OUT
The joy of missing out on endless scrolling, and finding happiness in real human connection.
As therapists, we’ve spent thousands of hours on both sides of the couch. Through years of providing and receiving therapy, we’ve uncovered a fundamental truth: while mental health is crucial, what people are really seeking is connection. That’s why we’re starting a movement around #socialhealth.
Mental health gave us the language to talk about our inner worlds. Now it’s time to build the framework for what we’ve known all along – authentic human connection is the most powerful medicine we have. The science backs this up: face-to-face interaction releases oxytocin, reduces cortisol, and literally rewires our brains for resilience.
IT STARTED
WITH A QUESTION
What if we could use the same psychology that keeps us glued to our phones to help us break free from them? We weren’t the first to notice the irony of using social media to feel more connected, while actually becoming more isolated.
But we were determined to be the first to flip the script. To create an app that actually rewards you for closing it. An app that turns your dopamine-driven desire for digital validation into a catalyst for real-world connections.
THE SCIENCE
We studied how dopamine drives social media addiction, then redirected those same reward pathways toward meaningful interactions.
THE MISSION
Our goal isn’t to eliminate technology, but to help it serve its original purpose: bringing people together.
THE IMPACT
Every minute spent offline with friends is a victory for authentic human connection in a digital world.
OUR MANIFESTO
We believe in the power of real smiles over emoji reactions.
We believe that the best stories aren’t told in Stories.
We believe technology should enhance our relationships, not replace them.
We believe in the magic of serendipitous conversations that can’t be filtered or edited.
Most importantly, we believe it’s time for social media to actually be… social.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
We’re not just building another app. We’re creating a community of people who choose real connections over endless scrolling.
