Jill invited me to this app about 3 months ago, and it's helped me kick my social media addiction. I wanted to stay on social media to keep up with important stuff going on with…

frombody on HNAppreciate the feedback here. Was a legal template for the MVP (as you hinted at above), and not our intention to leave any uncertainty re data privacy. We've amended the policy,…

Interesting idea. But worth remembering. A huge chunk of the world works on Sunday. E.g Middle East has its week days Sunday to Thursday.

Android and web versions

I love this idea but I don't own an iOS or Android device. Will there be any effort to make a web version?
mempko on HNI really like this idea and could see it being great to share with family and friends, except for the missing support for web or android. Everyone I would want to connect with on…

Hey just downloaded this! Pretty stoked to try it out. One question, is there a history of your weeks? I’d love to be able to look back on reflections, or a way to export your…
s0rta on HNSo there’s no option to save your reflections as an ongoing journal? That was one of my motivations for installing the app today.
