I've been using Harold for a few months and am loving the daily reminders at 8PM. Nothing gets me off my butt quicker to do my daily pushups than the text reminder from Harold. (Except for the times where I keep sitting on my butt and Harold sends a witty response to motivate and encourage me anyway.)
Kyleigh Smith
@kevinholesh Thanks Kevin! Glad he's still working for you.

Hey congrats on adding these features Kyleigh. What I most like is the minimal typeform entry. Curious how does it work if you have multiple habits does the stats get aggregated or just for each one separately?
Kyleigh Smith
@michaeljnovotny You get stats for each on separately!
Patrick Woloveck
Is (like me) SMS is consistently top 3 in your screen time report? If so, establishing habits through text message should be a no brainer. Harold is a simple, yet powerful hack to track and measure personal or professional habits. I'm excited to see what 2.0 has in store.

@woloveck Patrick has tracked for 48 days everyone so I'd listen to him ๐Ÿ˜Š

@jacoblee93 Thanks for the support as always Jacob!

Been following Kyleigh's journey with Harold since v1 and love to see how far it's gotten! Habits are the foundational element of success and Harold is an easy way to get started and stay accountable on that journey ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Hi Product Hunters! A lot has happened since I launched Harold on Product Hunt EXACTLY one year ago today: - Over 800 people have joined the waitlist - 440 people have created accounts - 221 have successfully onboarded and set up habits - Harold has logged over 9.5k responses ๐Ÿ˜ฑ - 23 signed up for a paid plan - Reached over $60 in MRR (my first $โ€™s made on the internet!) - Presented at ODNC Demo Day - Won $5k Product Hunt Maker Grant - Presented at ODNC Demo Day And Harold has changed a lot too (thanks to feedback from my beta users!): โšก๏ธAI-Generated Responses ๐Ÿ“… Customized Day + Time of Check-ins ๐ŸŽจ New Logo + Branding ๐Ÿฃ 7-day Free Trial ๐Ÿ“ˆ SMS Recaps โœ๏ธ Improved Edit Habit Flow ๐Ÿ˜ป Custom Emoji's for Each Habit ๐Ÿ’ช Support for 3 Question Types โ›ฐ Milestones + Tips A lot has changed but the mission is still the same: **Help people experience the benefits of tracking habits.** I built Harold because I was feeling stuck. I had big goals but I felt like I wasnโ€™t making any progress on them. I knew tracking habits was beneficial, but I couldnโ€™t stick with tracking long enough to experience the benefits. I would track for 2 days and then forget to do it. So I built Harold to solve my own problem. And it worked. For the first time I was able to track consistently for 4 months straight. I built habits like: - working on my side projects for 30 minutes before work - exercising for at least 30 minutes a day - journaling before opening my computer in the morning Harold is for you if: - If youโ€™ve ever tried to build a habit but fell off, forgot, or gave up. - Youโ€™ve never experienced the benefits of tracking habits consistently - You want to level up in a mindful, effective way - You tend to ignore push notifications + hate downloading another app and creating another login Start your free trial at [heyitsharold.com](http://heyitsharold.com) and let me know what you think! DMโ€™s are always open on Twitter.

@kyleighsmith Absolutely love this product - Kyleigh has created a truly powerful mechanism to track your habits that actually works
Dave
Such a cool idea! Congratz!! ๐ŸŽ‰ Today I also launched my product. If you're using Discord. You can easily add live chat to your web page(WebChatWidget)
Kyleigh Smith
@leadbykeyword Thanks Dave! Congrats on your launch, will check it out!
Harold
With this name, I HAVE to upvote it ๐Ÿ’ฏ One day, I hope to become just as structured as this Harold. Great product @kyleighsmith ๐Ÿ™Œ

@hdkstr Thanks for the support Harold!

Glad to see such a powerful usecase built on Typeform. I love NoCode too. I really see a lot of scope to build it as a gamified premium product as there is already good demand as per your last years launch and again this year. Amazing to read your progress. I have a suggestion for you, if you could try to bring this messages on whatsapp then this could spread and grow like fire. Whatsapp has more flexibility in terms of message formats you can send with buttons to capture response. I really hope this could help you take the operations of Harold globally without the barrier of the sms constraints. I do have some suggestions i would like to demo and help you with building this further. I really love what you are doing Kyleigh. I would be more than happy to chat and see if i can help you in any way(calendly link in my profile section) talk to you, Cheers ๐Ÿป
Kyleigh Smith
@balaji_rao1 Really interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing!
Sean Pritzkau
Iโ€™ve been wanting to try this since I first saw it on Product Hunt! Here we go ๐Ÿ™

Refreshing to see the return of a habit tracker app that is celebrating it's launch birthday because it is just that good at helping you keep your habits and also so meta that Kyleigh's been consistent and intentional about building and iterating to give a fresh new edition for 2022! Still a fan of the SMS idea - it's like a friend is checking in on me and I feel even more accountable. Kudos on the launch!
Kyleigh Smith
@modernafflatus Thanks Ash!! Birthdays, new years, it's an exciting time. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Max Haining
@kyleighsmith Wow, Harold is an amazing mechanism to track your habits in a super easy way!! Not sure what I'd do without him?? Thanks Kyleigh for creating such a well thought through product that I know will help a ton of fellow makers and creators. Let's go!!
Kyleigh Smith
@hainingmax Thanks Max ๐Ÿ˜Š

Love to see people build products that solve their own problems. This has improved a lot from v1. Loving the GIFs.

So happy to see this launched here!!!! I used a very early version, and Kayleigh has made some incredible upgrades since then. I really believe this is the future of apps, everyone Iโ€™ve talked to says they are exhausted of every company/store/thing having an app, and the beauty of Harold is thereโ€™s nothing to install. Excited to try the new version! Congrats on the launch!!!! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
Kyleigh Smith
@jamesskon Thanks James!! It was great having your early support last year. Let me know what you think of the new updates!
Xavier Rabilloud
hi @kyleighsmith wow i stumble on Harold, this is ex-act-ly what I need ! Buuuuut... i am French and leave in France.... pleeeease could you prioritize international phone numbers ? In the same "internationalization" move, it would be great that Harold answers in French so that I may interact in my own language, not in English, which would feel very less natural, and so be less incitative to carry on with my habits ;-)
Kyleigh Smith
@xavier_rabilloud Glad it's resonating! And thanks for the feedback. If you want to DM me on Twitter (@bagelsangranola) we can chat a little bit more about next steps with international phone #'s. Might be a few things we can try in the meantime.
zachary danger
Fantastic product and canโ€™t wait to see this launch on international shores!!

@superzac Thanks Zac! Working on it!
