I kept opening Reddit to relax and closing it feeling worse. Every scroll was another disaster, conflict, or piece of outrage bait. So I built Dawnly. It pulls from Reddit's popular and news feeds, scores every post for positivity, then filters. What's left is the good stuff — science breakthroughs, heartwarming moments, people doing remarkable things. Two feeds. Save posts. Share with one tap. No account needed. Built this solo as my first iOS app. Would love your honest feedback.

Hey ProductHunt 👋 I'm Brendan, and I built Dawnly because doom scrolling was genuinely affecting my mood. One scroll became twenty minutes of feeling progressively worse. The fix seemed obvious — filter the feed for positivity before it reaches you. So I built a backend that pulls from Reddit's public feeds, scores every post for positivity by analysing the title, content, and community reaction, then only passes through the posts that clear the threshold. This is my first iOS app — which I used as an opportunity to explore development with Claude Code. It's completely free, no account needed. Would love to know what you think — brutally honest feedback welcome. What would make it better?
