Sunrise - Your safest digital place to reflect, relax, and recharge

👋🏻 Hi Product Hunt community! I’m Kelly, one of the makers of Sunrise, a guided journaling app for mindfulness. After experiencing multiple burnouts, my co-founders and I wanted to build a mental health tool that was more affordable than CBT therapy and more introspective than meditation apps. Our mission is to provide you with the safest digital space to reflect, relax, and recharge on your path to better mental well-being. Here’s what you can get with Sunrise: 🧘🏻 Guided Journals: 60+ daily prompts and 8 evidence-based templates inspired by experts like Andrew Huberman, designed to enhance your mental health. 💌 Encouraging Feedback: An interactive feature for your journal entries providing anonymous emotional support. 😴 Bedtime Stories: For better sleep. New stories added every month. ✍🏻 Custom Template: Start your journals with your templates (pro tip: you can also use the template to write your bullet journals). 🔒 Privacy: Set passcode or biometric auth to protect your journals. We also don’t collect your personal data or your journal entries on our server. 🌻 Motivational Widgets: Your Sunflower widget will bloom along with your writing habits. 🗓️ Beautiful Calendar View: Track your mood with colors when you write your journals and then check your monthly mood history in your calendar view. ⏰ Writing Timer: Sunrise shows a timer while you write. It will help you form a consistent journaling habit. 📤 Export and Backup: Export your data as a txt files or save it in a backup file. Since our initial launch in late-June, Sunrise has climbed to #2 in Korea's Paid Health & Fitness Apps, garnering over 6,000 downloads and a 4.9-star App Store rating - all without any paid marketing. Mental health can be a silent struggle, but you don't have to face it alone. Join us in the fight against the mental health crisis.

Wish you all the best with your launch! Do you support sharing your journals?

@kellypoly I really love this mission and the UI looks super clean upon first glance! Congrats on the launch and Im looking forward to digging deeper! Sounds like killer adoption thus far.

Grats on the launch, @kellypoly. There's a unique sweetness to this app. Or shall I say a mindfulness one ;) Really well crafted, and worth using. How do you plan to keep the app content and routines fresh? Installed and supported.

This is absolutely a valuable and meaningful product! 💖 I heard there's a bedtime stories feature? That's just the sweetest thing ever! For someone like me who tends to get anxious, this is a godsend. I love being able to listen to stories before bed to calm my mind and feel safe. Huge thanks to Kelly and the entire team for everything you've done! 🙏

Congratulations on launch! Such calming colors in design – looks appealing 😊 Thinking about starting journaling now.

@kellypoly Congratulations on the launch of Sunrise! Your app's use of guided templates and anonymous encouraging feedback is a fantastic approach to address anxiety and mental health. Similarly, at InterWiz, we utilize AI to streamline and improve the hiring process with smart, automated interviews and rapid evaluations. How do you see the evidence-based journaling templates impacting user mental health outcomes over time?
