Hercules Designs is helping individuals take on triggering messages through an in-house developed app designed to facilitate reflection rather than reaction.
-- Hercules Designs has expanded its suite of in-house built apps with the release of Switchroo, a perspective and reflection app designed to help users look at difficult situations from different points of view. The app is the latest addition to the studio's portfolio of digital products developed around its "Design. For. Purpose." philosophy.

Hercules Juver, owner and creator of Hercules Designs, explained that Switchroo reflects the studio's approach to building apps with a genuine purpose rather than designing products around maximizing engagement or extracting money from users. "We wanted to build something that could actually be useful when someone is stuck in their own head," he said. "The goal isn't to keep people in the app. It's to help them step away from an immediate reaction and see the situation differently."
Juver further noted that this approach is particularly relevant in today’s environment, where many messages are deliberately designed to provoke an emotional response. Headlines, social media posts, videos, and other media can use anger, fear, outrage, or anxiety to capture attention and encourage people to keep watching or reading.
"There's a lot of content competing for attention, and triggering a reaction is an effective way to get it," he explained. "But not every message that gets a strong reaction deserves one."
Switchroo helps users by allowing them to describe what's on their mind and select a perspective through which to consider the situation. Available perspectives include Therapist, Best Friend, Comedian, Stoic Philosopher, Detective, and CEO, among others. The responses are intended to introduce different ways of looking at the same situation rather than tell users what decision to make.
For users who feel overwhelmed by a situation, Switchroo also includes a Reset feature, which creates a personalized reflection that can help the individual examine what is making the situation difficult, distinguish between what they can and cannot control, explore practical next steps, and consider a different perspective.
The reflection app saves conversations, allowing users to revisit them later.
