Description: Bloomscroller is a browser extension that uses artificial intelligence and gamification to help you overcome doomscrolling: the all too familiar and tempting process of scrolling through bad news after bad news on your social media feeds, without realising the repercussions on your mental health.   Bloomscroller works in the background as you browse your social media feed, analysing the negativity of each post with artificial intelligence. The more bad news you consume, the more your Bloom suffers. When your Bloom accumulates too much negativity and drops all its petals, Bloomscroller sends you a reminder that it might be time to switch to healthier alternative activities. While you mentally recharge by engaging in other activities, your Bloom recharges too, eventually gaining back all its petals. You can customise the recommended activities and links that Bloomscroller sends to you.  Currently compatible with Twitter on desktop.
