SmallBoosts is a science-backed well-being platform that turns daily micro-habits into measurable growth. Each boost is a 1–10 minute evidence-based activity drawn from peer-reviewed research across 8 dimensions of human well-being.

How long does a boost take?

Boosts range from 1 to 10 minutes. Flash boosts take under 2 minutes, making them easy to fit into any schedule. The daily goal is 3 boosts — typically under 15 minutes total.

Yes, SmallBoosts is free to use. You can access all boosts, quests, and progress tracking without a subscription.

What are the 8 well-being pillars?
