Hey everyone! We re the team behind Pinnacle, and tomorrow we are finally launching on Product Hunt.
We started this journey because most 'high performance' tools are just trackers digital chores that tell you what happened to your body, but don't help you understand your mind. We wanted to build a system that helps you maintain focus, resilience, and energy when the stakes are high.
What we've been building: We ve moved beyond simple chatbots to create an AI agent that uses built-in iPhone sensors like HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and voice-based reflection to turn mental signals into actionable clarity. No 'workslop,' just science-backed tools for situational execution.
We would love your support and feedback when we hit the feed tomorrow
The combination of real-time physiological measurement + conversational coaching is exactly what's missing from wellness apps. Most either track passively without actionable guidance, or give generic advice without knowing your actual state.
Using iPhone's built-in sensors for HRV and stress detection is smart - removes friction that external devices create. The science-backed approach matters here since the wellness space is cluttered with pseudoscience.
Curious: how does the AI calibrate its coaching tone based on someone's stress level? Does it dial back intensity when it detects you're already overwhelmed, or push harder when you're in flow state?

@tanaykothari Thank you Tanay. We pay very close attention to making the experience as slick as possible, smoothing down friction wherever we can. I think it pays off in the various different interactions across the app.
So it's like Whoop for the brain? Love the idea. This will go big. Turn your phone from brain rot to brain healer. Good luck team!

@davitausberlin I've always wanted to call it "Whoop for the mind", which it is except we don't require a hardware device strapped to your head. I think it's more "Runna for the mind"!
Pinnacle
Cheers @davitausberlin. Yes that's exactly the spirit of what we were going for! Much appreciated 🙏

@kevinbensmith thank you!
Congrats on the launch, Joel! Really impressive to see how you're leveraging on-device sensors for these kinds of emotional insights. The focus on performance and resilience for knowledge workers hits home.
Quick question: what sensors on the device are you using?
Would love to see how this evolves. Upvoted!
Really interesting concept: turning your phone into a brain performance coach using real-time signals sounds super futuristic. Congrats on the launch! Which sensor or signal has been the most useful for understanding someone’s focus or mental state so far?
