Challenge

We started Regain with a personal goal to solve for digital addiction. It was a crowded space but we had used all the products and felt there wasn't a solution that worked for us. So we started with an intent to build a great product around this problem of digital addiction.

Soon after we began to launch the product we realised it was a very hard space. We initially obsessed over user retention and wanted to build a product that people kept using.

After lauching the product and iterating with the users, we realised the space was not something that is

Our Approach

The goal was to learn the motivations and problem of the users using the app. Figure out the core loop for the product.

Tried to launch multiple features

Learn what the users wants from looking at data and talking to users

Solution

Double down on the focus use case and revolve the app around the core focus loop

Identified the core loop as focus made the app super simple

Which led way to deprioritizing other features, was a hard call but a must

Part forward for new features like Focus groups

Closing the feedback loop & Iterations

Show feedback from the users for V1

Show the iterations made after the feedback

Show the final stable version
