Hi, I am Chanmeet Singh Sahni , the developer of Fix My Brainrot.
I myself have been a victim of social media addiction. Many times while scrolling, I am aware that it is wasting my time but I still consciously choose to do so. It is shocking and amazing at the same time - how genuisely the algorithms and overall user experience are designed to give instant dopamine hits.
There have been various studies suggesting how excessive social media usage directly correlates with decreasing attention span and overall congnitive ability. In fact, I remember reading somewhere about how social media addiction has reduced the collective IQ of the young population by a significant number.
However, in the past few years (2025-26), there has been some hope. Various content creators have themselves spoken about this and suggested ways to control it. Many platforms like Matiks , Lumosity , Wordle , Nerdle and Xikipedia have emerged and people are starting to use them. I myself love to play Sudoku and Wordle.
While the mentioned platforms are helpful in their own ways, I could not find one that is purely distraction-free. So, I built Fix My Brainrot with only one motive: to give people a space to actively use their brain without any distractions. No over-gamification, no addictive design elements, no annoying notifications, no intrusive ads, and no login required.
