Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Nathaniel, one of the four makers of Xolace.
Xolace helps you figure out what you’re feeling, then supports you with the things that already work for you.
Imagine feeling drained or overwhelmed and being told to just pray about it. Funny, right? Where we come from, Ghana, that’s the daily norm. All four of us have felt it, and watched people close to us feel it too.
So about a year and a half ago, we started building Xolace for ourselves. Nothing out there fit. Some apps made you pay just to reflect on your own feelings. Others offered support for something we didn’t understand yet. How do you know the support works when you haven’t figured out what it’s for? We’ve used Xolace through our own rough patches ever since, and it’s what we want to dedicate our lives to getting right.
How it works:
• Type out what’s on your mind, or talk it through by voice with Talk
• Xolace shows you what’s underneath it (reflecting is free, always)
• Then it gives you support that fits you
Simple right 😅.
The support part is what we’re most excited about. That support starts with what already works for you: a walk, a certain playlist, texting one person. Xolace builds around those instead of pushing something on you. Soon you’ll even be able to create your own music when our library doesn’t quite fit.
But Xolace is still grounded in human connection. Knowing someone else has felt what you’re feeling carries a lot of weight. That’s why we built Lantern: real stories from people who’ve been through it, so the next person doesn’t feel alone.
We didn’t expect much launching at home, where mental health rarely comes up. Then 350+ people, mostly Ghanaians, started using it, and together they’ve done more than 1,000 sessions. That’s what convinced us this could help far more people.

Two asks:
What’s one small thing you do to look after yourself on a bad day? If it helps you, we want Xolace to support it.
Got a story that might help someone feeling the same thing? Email me at nathan@xolaceinc.com (any of the other co-founders at emmanuel.s@xolaceinc.com , emmanuel.a@xolaceinc.com , andrew@xolaceinc.com ) or just comment lantern, we will reach out and we’ll help you share it in Lantern. It could be the light someone else needs. You can also email just to say hi; all four of us read and reply.
@nathaniel_e_adama Just as you care for your skin regularly…care for your mind regularly
@nathaniel_e_adama A product like Xolace can make mental health support way more accessible to people and might even cut down on some social stigmas surrounding mental health. Kudos for picking this particular problem to solve. I was wondering if Xolace remembers what you talk about and if you can continue that chat thread as days pass?
@rajat_gupta51 Thank you Rajat, that means a lot 🧡 Cutting through the stigma is a big part of why we’re building this. Where we’re from, most people never talk about this stuff at all.
To your question: yes, Xolace remembers. Every time you come back, it builds on what you’ve shared before, so you don’t have to start from scratch or re-explain your whole story; it's own personal memory for you. You can also look back at past reflections anytime, and if something was left unresolved, Xolace checks in with you a few days later.
It’s not one long chat thread, though. Each visit is its own reflection with support, connected by that memory. Would a continuous thread feel more natural to you?
Looks like a nice concept! Can I come back to a reflection later and add to it?
@viktoriia_vasylchenko Thank you Viktoriia! 🧡 Right now each reflection is its own moment, but you can always come back and re-read past ones anytime.
Xolace also remembers what you’ve shared; it's own personal memory, so when you come back and reflect again, it builds on what you told it before rather than starting from scratch. If something was left unresolved, Xolace checks in with you a few days later too.
Tho adding directly to an older reflection is a really good idea though. Noting it! What would you want to add? More of what happened, or how you feel about it now (like after sometime has passed) ?
@viktoriia_vasylchenko Right now each reflection is its own moment but you can come back any time and start a new one.
Finally we are here. Xolace is here to make a difference, and this is more than just a launch for us. It's a step towards making seeking support feel easier, safer, and more human.
We're building a better way for people to find the support they need, and actually feel heard, before think fall of the deep end.
There's still so much ahead, but today, we're grateful to see this vision out in the world.
This is Xolace. And we're just getting started.
@andrew_beniako Finally... Look at us. And yes, we’re just getting started 🔥
Excited to share Xolace with the world! ❤️ We’re on a mission to make mental health support more accessible and ensure nobody feels alone in their struggles. Every mind matters. Let’s make mental wellness a priority! 🚀
@emmanuel_acquah398 Every mind matters. Couldn’t say it better. So proud of this team
This is the moment we built toward. Thank you to everyone who tried Xolace early and told us the truth…. Tomorrow we feast
Feeling off but can’t say why - happens a lot! So having the option to start there without naming the feeling first would be extra helpful for me
@marianna_tymchuk Thanks Marianna. That's exactly how Xolace works🧡; No need to name the feeling. Just vent however it comes out, or say it out loud with Talk, however messy and Xolace helps you find what’s underneath.
Would love to hear how it feels if you give it a try!
@marianna_tymchuk That's actually one of the reasons we believe Xolace matters. ❤️
I often say Xolace is for people who are ready to be honest with themselves. But being honest about how you feel doesn't always mean knowing what to call it. Sometimes, all you have is a few words, a feeling you can't quite explain, or just the sense that something isn't right.
And that's okay. You don't have to figure it all out before you begin.
Thank you for sharing this and for supporting Xolace. We'd love for you to give it a try and tell us how the experience feels. We're here to listen. ❤️
@marianna_tymchuk exactly @marianna_tymchuk knows ✅✅✅
