πŸ‘‹πŸ» Hi Product Hunt community! I’m Kelly, one of the makers of Sunrise, a guided journaling app for mindfulness. After experiencing multiple burnouts, my co-founders and I wanted to build a mental health tool that was more affordable than CBT therapy and more introspective than meditation apps. Our mission is to provide you with the safest digital space to reflect, relax, and recharge on your path to better mental well-being. Here’s what you can get with Sunrise: 🧘🏻 Guided Journals: 60+ daily prompts and 8 evidence-based templates inspired by experts like Andrew Huberman, designed to enhance your mental health. πŸ’Œ Encouraging Feedback: An interactive feature for your journal entries providing anonymous emotional support. 😴 Bedtime Stories: For better sleep. New stories added every month. ✍🏻 Custom Template: Start your journals with your templates (pro tip: you can also use the template to write your bullet journals). πŸ”’ Privacy: Set passcode or biometric auth to protect your journals. We also don’t collect your personal data or your journal entries on our server. 🌻 Motivational Widgets: Your Sunflower widget will bloom along with your writing habits. πŸ—“οΈ Beautiful Calendar View: Track your mood with colors when you write your journals and then check your monthly mood history in your calendar view. ⏰ Writing Timer: Sunrise shows a timer while you write. It will help you form a consistent journaling habit. πŸ“€ Export and Backup: Export your data as a txt files or save it in a backup file. Since our initial launch in late-June, Sunrise has climbed to #2 in Korea's Paid Health & Fitness Apps, garnering over 6,000 downloads and a 4.9-star App Store rating - all without any paid marketing. Mental health can be a silent struggle, but you don't have to face it alone. Join us in the fight against the mental health crisis.

This is absolutely a valuable and meaningful product! πŸ’– I heard there's a bedtime stories feature? That's just the sweetest thing ever! For someone like me who tends to get anxious, this is a godsend. I love being able to listen to stories before bed to calm my mind and feel safe. Huge thanks to Kelly and the entire team for everything you've done! πŸ™

Star Boat
πŸ’‘ Bright idea
Sunrise sounds amazing! I love the idea of the Encouraging Feedback feature. How does the anonymous feedback work? Can users customize the type of encouragement they want to receive? 🌼
Han Kim
Maker
@star_boat Thank you so much for the support! The feedbacks are AI-generated, polished by a human. So we do double check to see if the feedbacks are an appropriate to the requests. However, we have no idea which user or device sent the requests! Not yet but that's a great idea - if you could customize it, how would you customize it? Currently, they're as "encouraging" as possible.
Nicole Park
Maker
@star_boat Thanks for the support & the great idea! πŸ™ We'll incorporate your feedback and work on developing a better feature.
