Turn habits into automatic loops

Loopify

Project Description

In this project, our primary aim is to create an immersive experience for individuals looking to establish new habits and set achievable goals. We understand the inherent difficulties people face when trying to form new habits, especially the discomfort and unfamiliarity of the initial stages. Acknowledging the resistance that often accompanies breaking existing routines, our objective is to develop effective solutions and prototype a user-centric habit-building app by the end of this capstone project.

We will explore various strategies to help users begin the habit-forming process with confidence and maintain their commitment over time.
