YOU.

The Big Idea

What if everyone on earth did the same planet-positive act
on the same day? That's ActApp.

ActApp is a mobile app that delivers one eco or social-justice mission to every user simultaneously, every single day. Think Wordle meets Duolingo — but the streak you're building saves the planet.

The daily mission takes between one second and five minutes. Everyone does it. Swipe to complete. See what you achieved together that evening.

📵 An app that gets you off your phone

We cannot see our individual impact — but together it is enormous and visible. At the end of each day, users see exactly what millions of small acts achieved. Beaches cleaned. CO₂ saved. Communities strengthened.

That's the magic that makes people come back tomorrow. Not guilt. Not doom. Proof that they are part of something that matters.

How it works

HOW
IT
WORKS

No feeds. No doomscrolling. Just one focused moment.

02
Do it in the real world
The action happens off the screen — buy a Fairtrade product, walk to school, pick up litter, check in with someone lonely. ActApp is the nudge. The impact happens out there.
🌿
03
Swipe to complete. Build your streak.
XP, streaks, your Earthly Advocate species, friends leaderboard. Progress that motivates — not guilt that paralyses. Genuinely addictive, like Duolingo, but the habit worth building.
🔥
🌍

You and 1,982 others saved the equivalent CO₂ of a football pitch of rainforest tonight.

This is what every ActApp user sees each evening. Not abstract eco-points — real numbers that make the invisible visible. This is what brings people back tomorrow. Not guilt. Proof.

MADE VISIBLE. MADE REAL.

We cannot feel our individual climate impact. That invisibility is what makes people give up. ActApp solves this by showing users exactly what the collective achieved — every single evening.

Not abstract eco-points. Not vague percentages. Real numbers. Real equivalents. Real proof.

Imagine millions of users assigned the same beach clean-up on the same day. ActApp can coordinate daily global community action at a scale no government or NGO has achieved.

This is what makes people come back tomorrow.

BUILT BY
SOMEONE
WHO CARES.

Lisa Hoerning is a climate activist and youth leader in the climate and charity sector. She built the ActApp prototype while studying for her BA in Politics and Geography at the University of Exeter.

She is a member of the beVisionneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship — a global programme for young people building solutions to the world's biggest challenges.

ActApp wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from a genuine belief that the next generation deserves tools that make them feel empowered, not helpless.

"I built ActApp because I want younger generations to grow up feeling empowered, not helpless, in the face of increasing climate and ecological destruction. One daily mission — however small — will help the next generation feel like they can actually make an impact."
