Daily Thoughts

Intro Name: Daily Thoughts Description: Daily Thoughts is an innocuous-seeming app that mysteriously downloads onto users' devices. Upon opening, users are greeted with a black screen and prompted to enter the name of someone they know. The app then presents daily choices related to that person. Functionality: After entering a name, users receive two prompts a day, requiring them to select one. The chosen outcome will happen, while the unselected option is ignored. If the chosen person becomes aware of the app, it results in the user’s demise. Users must keep the app a secret to stay safe. User Experience: The app features a simple interface that emphasizes ease of use. Daily notifications create a sense of urgency. Users are reminded to make their selections before the 11 PM deadline. Failing to choose results in increasing discomfort, starting with one hour and adding an hour for each missed day. Terms and Conditions: The terms are excessively lengthy, filled with legal jargon and obscure clauses, making it easy for users to skip over them. Acceptance of the terms binds the user to the app’s rules. Notable Features: Daily prompts encourage users to make decisions, while a countdown timer reminds them of their 11 PM deadline. A log of past choices adds to the user's sense of unease.
