Volunteer-Enabling Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This App Helps Users Contribute Towards Volunteer Causes in the Future

— September 9, 2015 — Tech
'Do Nothing. Do Good.' is a new app that allows users to contribute towards volunteer causes in the future. While many consumers are interested in contributing their time and money, it is difficult for many people to fit volunteering into their schedule. This app makes it easier for individuals to support a good cause simply by stepping away from their smartphones.

The app was designed by the creative agency '&Barr' and it is designed to be simple enough for anyone to use. The app operates through the use of a timer that tracks how much time the user spends away from his or her phone. The time that a user spends away from their mobile device is then translated into Do Good hours that are put towards volunteer causes in the future. The idea is to get consumers to detach themselves from their digital devices and think about how much good can be done with that extra time.

The app provides a clever way of encouraging people to reengage with the wold around them and take a much-needed digital detox.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Detox - Opportunity for apps that help individuals detach from their digital devices and engage in the real world.
2. Volunteer Contributions - Opportunity for apps that enable individuals to contribute to volunteer causes without the constraints of scheduling.
3. Time Tracking - Opportunity for apps that track and translate time spent away from smartphones into tangible contributions for social good.
Industry Implications
1. Creative Agencies - Opportunity for creative agencies to design user-friendly apps that encourage digital detox and support volunteer causes.
2. Technology/app Development - Opportunity for technology and app development companies to create innovative solutions for tracking time spent away from smartphones and supporting volunteer causes.
3. Social Good Organizations - Opportunity for social good organizations to partner with app developers to create platforms that facilitate volunteer contributions through smartphone usage.
