Mindora is a mobile app that accompanies young students in caring for their emotional and digital well-being. It invites them to express themselves freely, connect without social pressure, and cultivate offline habits to find balance amid the academic pace. Instead of noisy social networks, it offers safe anonymous expression spaces where emotions are validated through reactions, without judgments or comments. Additionally, it features an "auras" system that allows users to feel accompanied in a relaxing way and a habit tracker that transforms disconnection into a positive experience.
It is developed in React Native with Firebase, Google Cloud Vision API for content moderation, and AWS Rekognition for secure age verification, all under local encryption to protect user privacy.
The implementation plan includes three main milestones: Month 1-3: Functional MVP with venting module and auras system; Month 4-5: Beta testing with 100 students for validation; Month 6: Public launch. It requires a team of leaders (project, analysis, communication), two full-stack developers, one UX/UI designer, and a budget of $5,000.
Its biggest challenge will be real-time moderation and sustained user retention, requiring continuous monitoring to measure stress level reduction and onboarding validation during the first weeks. Its educational approach aligns with the current need to teach healthy boundaries with technology, digital privacy, and conscious self-care.
Success will be measured by a 30% reduction in stress or anxiety levels determined by pre and post-use surveys, 70% weekly active users, a 40% increase in conscious disconnection sessions recorded in the app (self-reported digital breaks), and user satisfaction (NPS) above 50%.
