Hey it's 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 🍻

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.

Harold is a personality that inspires me to set goals for each day and actually do them. He's not intrusive and not judgmental. He's encouraging and I look forward to my text from him each evening. He is easy to set up, use, and change. I have now learned what "habit stacking" is. So great.

I've been using this app for months and recommend it for anyone looking for a simple way to create accountability and focus. Here's my small example: I didn't drink enough water during the day, and wanted to improve the habit. I tried the app Water Logged, but I fell off the bandwagon when it got too repetitive and because I had to pull out my phone and open the app every time I drank a glass of water. After that, I set a reminder on my phone to go off every few hours. That didn't work because sometimes my reminder would go off when I wasn't able to take action, so I'd snooze it constantly and ultimately started ignoring it completely. Then I found Harold. Harold texts me at the end of each day asking if I drank enough water and I respond with a yes or no. There's something about the *interaction*, where I reflect on my progress and reply to the question, that is more effective than a *reminder*. The other reason this app works for me is because the interaction comes in a format that I already engage with regularly (text message), so I don't have to create one habit (i.e. remember to open an app) in order to track another. Highly recommend if you're looking for an accountability partner!
