Digital Detox

Digital Detox turns Marco Land's accumulated browser scrolling into progress along the Camino Frances. The public dashboard makes the joke measurable, pairing a route map with live distance, pace, progress, and ETA figures.

What is Digital Detox?

This is less a fitness tracker than a very patient conversion machine: pixels traveled across everyday webpages become kilometers on a Spanish pilgrimage route. The dashboard currently shows the project well past the three-quarter mark, with the full 955.22-kilometer route, accumulated distance, daily average, speed, coordinates, and a moving finish estimate all sharing the same compact page. The result lands somewhere between data portrait, map experiment, and one-person endurance gag.

What you can do there

• Inspect the live scrolling-to-Camino progress dashboard
• Compare distance traveled with the full pilgrimage route

Why we picked it

The premise makes an invisible habit legible without turning it into another productivity score. A mundane thumb-and-wheel motion acquires geography, absurd scale, and a finish line that can drift years into the future.

How to get the most from it

Read the progress percentage first, then compare the accumulated distance with the daily average and ETA. Return later for a tiny time-lapse made from ordinary browsing; the numbers are the main attraction, not a route-planning tool.

Good to know

The companion Chrome extension belongs to the creator's ongoing self-experiment; this page is primarily its public dashboard. Installation, permissions, privacy behavior, live map movement, audio, and mobile accessibility were not tested, and no screenshot was captured.
