@realdesigntack Man. That means so much. Some backstory:
Before building Ladder, I had ZERO UI/UX experience and am in no form a designer. I spent about 45 days learning how to use prototyping software as fast as I could when we started. We still don't have a professional designer. I know we still have A LOT of room for improvement, but I appreciate it!
Hey Product Hunt! 👋🏻
Big shout out and thanks to @benln for hunting us!
A quick intro on Ladder:
Our mission started with our own mental wellness journeys, as we struggled to find relevant solutions that worked for us. Ladder was first built for ourselves, but we quickly realized we were not alone.
Our team spent months talking to psychologists, researchers, and most importantly, those who were struggling with their mental health to understand what we could do help. We're a very community-driven team. After all, they are the people we're building this for.
We found that people were often juggling different treatments, mindfulness apps, and other various health trackers to figure out what's effective. Still, most felt that they were unable to answer the questions:
"How do the things I do impact my well-being?" and "What can I do about it?"
Ladder was built to answer these questions. Our goal is to help people foster more self-efficacy and advocacy to live healthier lives. Ladder focuses on the relationships between our actions, thoughts, and emotions to support long-term behavioral change.
It was designed to both be used as a standalone solution, or as a complementary tool for those working with a mental health professional.
With Ladder, you can:
Build healthier habits
- Set health goals and track behaviors
- Stay on task with a daily planner and mindful reminders
Develop emotional awareness
- Track mood levels and reflect with a digital journal
- Label your emotions to work through cognitive patterns
Discover what matters to you
- Understand what's supporting your well-being and what isn't
- Get wellness reports and actionable insights powered by data
Access our content library
- Soundscapes and binaural engineered for your mind
In the coming weeks, we're collaborating with BIPOC mental health professionals to release a library of guided courses and meditations. We want to make Ladder as accessible as possible, and part of that is fostering more diversity in a space that is severely lacking.

This looks really great. I've been trying to use Habitica, but I can't seem to stick with it for whatever reason. I'd love to give this a shot, but I'm rocking a Galaxy Note 10+
Any thoughts on timing for the Android release?
@betterproductco Hi Andrew! An Android release is certainly at the top of our list on priorities as soon as we finalize our iOS platform. This was a major discussion point (as it always is when building for mobile) in terms of deciding native vs cross-platform. In order to better hone in on our users and deliver an experience that helped us do less things (and reach less people), but do them better and with more focus, we opted to go full swift-native iOS only for the initial release. In terms of timeline, the Software Engineer in me hesitates to throw out an estimate off the top of my head (we're often wrong, like, a lot, around timeline estimations). Please do sign up for our newsletter on our website to be notified when the Android version is released though :).
@betterproductco The demand for an Android version from our community is pretty large. Hopefully we'll be able to get that started soon. As Thuc mentioned, we want to get this right first!
@upskillmarketplace thanks Hannah! I agree, mental and emotional health is extremely important, especially right now.

I’ve been looking for an app just like this. Love how it brings everything together into one. Makes my life more simple, great job!! Will try out and report back.
@dorculas Thanks man. One of the things our users love most is being able to connect everything and reduce the amount of apps/tools they use. Looking forward to it!

I’ve been using Ladder for a few months now and I love it! In the midst of all the craziness, it can be hard to remember to do things for yourself. This app really holds me accountable and ensures that I’m doing the small things to make my life better, such as stretching, meal planning, drinking water, and meditating. The analytics are great, as I can see which habits are affecting my mood the most. Overall, this is a great app and I’m so excited to have found it. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to put themselves first and build better habits.
