Problem
Adolescents and other users spend extensive time on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix, which build detailed behavioral profiles that are rarely visible to the individuals themselves. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for users to understand how algorithmic feeds influence their interests and to align their consumption with personal goals.
Solution
Myranda provides a privacy‑first application that processes a user’s viewing history from YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix directly on the device, without sending data to the cloud. The tool generates an interactive, timeline‑based map that visualizes years of video consumption, allowing users to explore their feed at multiple levels of granularity. Weekly “Rewind” reports summarize attention allocation, highlight dominant creators, and show shifts in interests. A “Preferences vs Reality” view compares declared content preferences with actual watch behavior, revealing gaps. Users can set personal viewing goals based on these insights and track progress over time, helping them make more consciously guided choices about their media consumption.
Target Audience
Primary users are adolescents (ages 12‑16) and other individuals who want insight into their media consumption, as well as schools and educators seeking tools for digital‑literacy workshops.
