Fuzzy
2024
Fuzzy was created to tackle real struggles like isolation, lack of motivation, and the challenge of sticking to self care habits. The app is designed to give users a simple, effective way to track progress, set realistic goals, and connect with a supportive community.
Background
🛑 Staying motivated is hard
Many people struggle to maintain self-care habits and mental health routines. Without structure and accountability, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and give up.
🌍 Mental health can feel isolating
Without a sense of community, it’s easy to feel like you’re going through things alone, which only makes it harder to stay on track.
📉 It’s tough to see progress
When there’s no clear way to track your mental health journey, staying engaged and motivated can feel impossible. Small wins go unnoticed, and setbacks feel bigger than they are.
How can we create an app that keeps users motivated, connected, and aware of their progress?
