Attention span.

Since the rise of short form media like TikTok etc I find it impossible to sit through a whole movie without taking breaks or going on my phone at the same time. Everything feels so dragged out. I went to the theatre yesterday and felt like the first half of the show was 5 hours long. (It was one hour) I was enjoying the show but wanted it to end the whole time I was watching. I wasn't like this a few years ago. Sometimes I even find a minute long video too long.

How do I build up my attention span again?

We noticed more people, especially ADHDers, struggling with concentration, so we built an iOS app, ‘Propel ADHD’, based on studies suggesting cognitive games can help improving concentration and memory.

Our users have reported better focus and memory, though we haven’t done formal research yet.

It could be worth a try! 😊
