Natural stopping points disappeared, so reflection disappeared with them.

The Joy of Missing Out
JOMO reintroduces good friction into the platforms designed to erase it. No blocking. No shame. Just gentle interventions that make it easier to step back with intention.
The problem
We lost good friction
Manual checks -> Push alerts
Instead of choosing when to check in, we are constantly pulled back in.
Loading pauses -> Instant feeds
No pause, no breath, no tiny decision points where agency can return.
Principles
Nudge, don't block
Meet you where you are
JOMO lives inside platforms you already use, instead of asking you to leave your workflow.
Awareness, not judgment
Simple time and pattern visibility, without guilt mechanics or gamified pressure.
In-context mindfulness
Breaths, prompts, and soft visual shifts show up inside the same feed that hooks attention.
Tools
Start with LinkedIn, expand over time
JOMO for LinkedIn
Available now. Timer, reverse streak flower, feed prompts, and grayscale mode.
Open tool pagePlanned next, using the same core model of mindful friction and in-feed nudges.
Twitter / X and more
Future tools will follow after validating the flow and philosophy on LinkedIn first.
Manifesto
Built in public. Measured by calm, not engagement.
The goal is not to maximize time in product. The goal is to help you close the tab with a clearer mind. JOMO succeeds when you need it less.
