Overview
About the event
Internet Self-Care Day began in 2017. It was created by Aloe Bud, a wellness app built to support gentle daily habits. The app�??s team saw how digital spaces can drain energy without people even realizing it.
They wanted a way to help users pause and think before getting lost in endless scrolling. So they introduced a day that would highlight better ways to use the web. This wasn�??t about quitting screens.
It was about checking in with yourself and making space for real rest, even while online. The idea spread through small newsletters, blogs, and community posts, gaining quiet support over time.
What made this day stand out was its clear message. You didn�??t need fancy tools or big plans. Just a few small shifts in how you interact online could bring more peace. Aloe Bud encouraged people to unfollow accounts that caused stress, take short breaks from apps, and use their screens with purpose.
