Thoughtful careers

Thoughtful is solving addiction to social media apps, leading 60% of people to say that their phones waste their time, and 70% to say that they damage their mental health. Abstinence (aka "screen time") won't fix this. We know, because…

Our co-founder and CEO was one of the ~20 engineers recruited by Zuck and Chris Cox to build Facebook's first native iPhone app, and then started+led the teams responsible for the overall FB experience for 6 years. He saw up-close how we got here.

Instead, solving this problem requires focusing on the opportunity—not the tragedy. We should be living radically, unrecognizably better lives because of the content the Internet helps us find and focus on—not in spite of it.

That’s why Thoughtful makes it easy to spend more time on the content you love—instead of what’s trending on social media today. For you, maybe that means content about psychology, tech, snowboarding, and philosophy. By transforming wasted downtime in toxic social media apps into time spent going deeper on your interests, learning, and growing, Thoughtful makes you happier and healthier every day.
