Hello ProductHunt!
Reflect started from a hospital bed, when there was not much else for me to spend my time on except play around with side projects. I decided to make myself a meditation timer, after becoming disillusioned with my then-favorite, which had grown to become increasingly unfriendly to privacy and increasingly complex.
After implementing functionality to track my meditation, I wanted to correlate my meditation metrics to other facets of my life such as my sense of well being. My former coworker (and now my co-founder) was using Google Forms to track her mood at the time. We both wanted a privacy focused tool to suit our needs, and so Reflect was born.
We now use Reflect to track anything and everything; our mood, symptoms, activities, exercise, self care routines, and even the time we spend working on Reflect itself.
Creating a platform for tracking anything exposed a number of opportunities to use Reflect for self improvement and self discovery. Reflect lets us:
- Set personal goals, measured by progress defined for a particular metric tracked (e.g. number of times you go outside per day)
- View trends and correlations
- Run self-guided experiments to test interventions such as the effect of a new nighttime routine, or the impact of a new medication on ones symptoms
- Define a daily schedule and track ones time
Reflect embodies our values and philosophy, which include privacy, agency, and self determination. To this end, Reflect keeps all data local to the device and provides an unmatched level of control and configurability. We've made a tool that we're excited about and proud to share with you, so thank you for checking it out!
@davidntlai Fellow developer of Reflect here. I have written about some examples of how I've used Reflect on my blog. Here's a few:
Tested out a new supplement for exercise performance
Examined how meditation impacts my mood and sleep with a series of self-experiments
Accidentally discovered a milk allergy
I think these highlight how the app can be useful to provide novel insights! In all of these, I discovered something unexpected about myself.
@sonu_goswami2 Thank you so much! Yes, that has been my experience for sure.
@davidntlai Grats on the launch!
I love the focus on agency and local data storage...
Excited to give this a try—congrats on the launch, and props for turning a side project to a main project :))
Best of luck David & Syler!!
@cranqnow Thank you! Please let us know how it goes!
This is a really interesting UI! I'll give it a try and share my thoughts. Wishing you great success! 🚀
All the best for the launch @davidntlai & team!
I am a big proponent for self-improvement. This seems like a great way to manage those efforts. Congratulations on the launch and best of luck to the team.
