There is a place where a tool like Citizen can be useful - however a company with VC funding needs to generate returns quickly, which incentivizes growing engagement, which "panic fetishism" is a pretty attractive way of achieving that. Citizen has a pretty solid and valid value proposition, however I don't think the VC model incentivizes a healthy way of building the engagement. You may engage with it healthily but I've seen a personal friend go down a spiral of anxiety and had to delete the app to feel better.
