About
Who We Are
Hello, We’re Whitesoma
We are a group of young engineers based at the Unversity of Cambridge, striving to raise awareness of digital mindfulness. We believe that everyone surfing the internet ought to have the right to choose what they wish to see - and what they don’t. The tools we build would empower internet users to turn from being a passive recipient of recommended contents to active decision-makers of their internet experience.

What We Do
Whitesoma lets you take back control of your online life
If you feel as if certain posts you see on social media distracts you, pushes you towards addictions or triggers behaviour you would rather avoid, then Whitesoma was designed for you.
Classify and filter based on your input genres
You can input the topics you don’t want to see in social media. Our system would go through your feed in real time and recommend posts that should be masked out. Whether you want to have a pause from alcohol after several fun nights or you’re ready to commit to a lifestyle change, the control is at your finger tips.
Browser extension at your end
We don’t store your information. Period. Our browser extension operates on your device, so you don’t need to worry about your precious data being sold to third parties.
Value your feedback for continuous improvement
We care your using experience and would like to know a bit more about how you would want our products to improve. We intend to launch our product for free in the initial phase to enhance our user interface and allow our product to better connect with your daily application.
OUR MISSION
Equipping people for digital mindfulness
We endeavour to enable users to choose what they want to see in the internet and fend off distractions.
