A wellness startup has launched a subscription app called Stillr, which for nineteen dollars and ninety-nine cents a month sends users a daily notification reminding them they once went on walks, called friends, and sat quietly without paying anyone.
The app, backed by the Bootstrap Institute's venture arm, features a premium tier that unlocks the ability to turn the notifications off. Founders described Stillr as a mindfulness tool for a generation that has monetized everything except guilt, and confirmed that guilt would be addressed in a future update behind a separate paywall.
Early reviews praised the app for making users feel worse with unprecedented convenience.
