New App Ditches Toxic Social Media—Replaces It with Wins and Gratitude

Posted on February 26, 2025 Written by Bill Hartzer

Take The Win

“It’s not social media, it’s social gratitude.” is key positioning for Take The Win.

 

Social media has a habit of making people feel worse. From endless comparison to mindless doom scrolling, many platforms thrive on negativity. But a new app called Take The Win™ is flipping the script.

Founded by Kevin Brilliant, a former behavioral scientist for the Chicago Bulls, Take The Win™ isn’t about likes, filters, or viral trends. Instead, it focuses on gamified goal-setting, community support, and celebrating progress—no matter how small.

“This isn’t social media,” says Brilliant. “It’s Social Gratitude™. It’s your favorite locker room, wherever you go.”

How It Works

Instead of mindless scrolling, users log in to recognize personal wins, encourage others, and build positive habits. The platform brings in elements of sports psychology and gamification, helping users track progress through streaks, badges, and the Win Wall™, a digital scoreboard for celebrating victories.

The goal is simple: make daily life feel like a game worth playing.

What Makes Take The Win™ Different?

Most social platforms focus on engagement at any cost, often rewarding outrage, controversy, and unrealistic portrayals of success. Take The Win™ moves in the opposite direction, creating a space where people lift each other up rather than tear each other down.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Social Gratitude™ – Instead of chasing validation, users celebrate wins, support others, and keep their own momentum going.
  • Science-Backed Gamification – Built with behavioral psychology in mind, the app helps users turn progress into a habit.
  • No Negativity, No Mindless Scrolling – There’s no endless feed designed to keep users glued to their screens. Instead, every visit is meant to be uplifting and productive.

Why It Matters

Mental well-being is a growing concern in a world flooded with digital distractions. Traditional social media has been linked to increased anxiety and depression, especially among young users. Take The Win™ aims to be the antidote.

By prioritizing positivity, accountability, and meaningful engagement, the platform offers a guilt-free way to stay connected online.

Brilliant sums it up: “The mental side of the game can be tough, but we make it easy to celebrate real victories. Every win counts—big or small.”

Available Now

Take The Win™ is now available for download on the Apple App Store.

For those tired of the same old social media cycle, this app offers a refreshing alternative—a place where every small step forward is worth celebrating.
