To me, it only sounds dystopian if a distant, all-powerful big brother is running it. Not everything has to be like that.

If it's under your control, like it is here, it doesn't sound dystopian at all.

This person has noticed something in their life that they don't like, they get too sucked in into work and need to snap out of it a bit.

In the future, they could notice themselves watching too many memes, and they could add a new feature that sends them a though-provoking quote when their face is very relaxed for a long time in front of the computer.
