Why nomp
willpower is fragile.
promises to people aren't.
a buddy beats an standalone app. a circle beats a buddy. wellbeing gets better when it's a team sport
willpower is a finite resource
by 9pm, after a hard day, “just one scroll” always wins. solo discipline is fighting an unfair fight.
accountability multiplies it
when someone you respect is watching, the cost of breaking a promise is suddenly real. behaviour changes.
networks scale outcomes

nomp builds that simple truth into the product. every commit has a time, a duration, and a name attached. when the window ends, a real person learns whether you stayed offline. that tiny piece of social signal is the difference between “i'll try” and “i did.”
our hypothesis is straightforward: digital wellbeing improves faster, deeper and more durably when it runs on social accountability instead of solo willpower. we're building nomp to prove it.
