Invested in IOS device last year and now some cool products are being made for Android first 🙈🙈🙈

Hello Product Hunters Thank you for being :) Abhishek & I started working on 'being' last year after having lived with our fair share of mental health issues - depression and anxiety. We were already testing an alpha version with our friends & friends of friends before Corona hit the world. Thankfully, we had something ready when lockdown began. Since then, 'being' has given hope, strength, and courage to more than 16,000 people from 60+ countries, primarily India and the US. People loved the simplicity and ease it brought to their lives and it is very well reflected in the way they rated the app 4.9 (500+ ratings) with open hearts. But that's not the most important part. The most important part is that today 1 in every 2 millennials is either anxious or stressed. The numbers are worse when it comes to GenZ. Having lived with anxiety myself for over 20 years now, I understand how it feels .. how it constantly makes you feel insecure about yourself. I have tried medication. I have tried meditation. Might sound stretched but I have also followed multiple faiths to actually make peace with the incessant struggle that goes inside me. It's only in 2018, that I stumbled upon the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Alan Watts, Adyashanti .. and it changed my life, my perspective, the way I look at things, and most importantly, the way I have tried to escape my anxiety and its effects so far - only tried to get rid of it without acknowledging its presence, without really understanding it for once. It felt like I've finally found a home in this world of spiritual wisdom. (and it still feels the same) And, I knew that I am not alone in this. What I went through is so human. Since then, I wanted to create something which makes it easier for human beings to live their lives with so much understanding, peace, and mindfulness. Be it anxiety or depression or relationship troubles or dissatisfaction at work or highs and lows of our everyday lives We can learn to be mindful, to be happier, to be ourselves in the midst of everything there is. With being - we can do it in the most human way without trying to push ourselves too hard. **All it takes is just three simple steps:** 1 Start with how you feel in this moment 2 Read and reflect upon the same (with bite-sized pieces of wisdom handpicked, curated & personalized just for you) 3 Feel better and grow happier This is just a beginning. We want to make mindfulness as easy as reading & writing chat messages and doing things you already do like brushing your teeth, taking a shower, or eating a meal. We want to help you bring the essence of mindfulness to every small or big aspect of your life - with as little effort as possible. **If you relate to what we are doing, please give being a try and share how you feel.** Sending so much love for you all. Just be :) - Varun #human #being

I have been using being for 2 months now on the recommendation of my husband. My anxiety has been on its peak since the time COVID hit India. I had never experienced a pandemic before and never have I ever been forcefully bounded to the walls of my house. I was desperately looking for some good therapists and apps which would help me to calm myself. With so much uncertainty around and long waiting lists for good therapists, one night, I opened Being and I don't remember how much or for how long I was on this app. But it made me reflect on each bite of wisdom it threw at me. I slept soon after. Since then, this app is my best friend, my secret diary. Can't thank the makers of this app enough. Thank you for calming my inner whirlwind. You don't know what my state was.

Been using this for close to 3 months now. I have tried meditation apps before but its just too hard. Being helps me gain the right perspective towards the things I am dealing with and leaves a very calming effect. Highly recommended!

I like the simpleness of it and I hope to see it become mainstream. Good luck!

Always gotta show love to products that help improve well being. Congrats the work and will definitely try it and review.

I have tried many meditation apps, followed many spiritual gurus & guides in last 6-7 years, mostly via YouTube. 'Being' with its mix of amazing content and calming UX has had an effect very little have, and is certainly the best Technology Product I've seen in the domain of mental wellness & self-awareness. I wish the creators great progress, and wish they keep helping us all 'just be' :)

Started my spiritual journey with Buddhism back in 2011 while I was still a student at RIT, when Iife threw back to back challenges. Being in the community helped reduce the pain, the suffering, at the same time helped build my confidence in my own strengths and capabilities. But it is just not so easy because as humans we have been trained to deal with our problems in a certain way, that running away sometimes is the only way possible. There's no greater love than self-love, and there's no greater suffering than not believing in yourself. With better understanding, our own life-state expands, and we naturally develop a deeper concern for the happiness of others. With that thought, and with the hope that we can reach the depths of the lives of people, we started being. The idea of being and then the journey of making it has been very, very close to my heart, as it continues to help me in my own personal transformation and growth as a human.

Thanks for building this. Can really connect with the idea. Looking forward to the iOS App as well. I host these biweekly spaces for spreading kindness, compassion, and mindfulness in community called Heart Circles. Also a Software Engineer by profession. Would love to connect if I could contribute in some way.

I love this idea and concept. Is your product available for iOS?

Varun, and your team. You are doing a great service for this world. It is indeed a well-known fact that people are more and more miserable every year. Whatever the causes of this might be (be it social conditioning, political machinations, a fast changing world we can't keep up with, etc.) in the end, we still need to find a way to counter this spread of negativity - after all, just like biological viruses, chronic sadness of any form can be contagious. I hope you guys have/will find a way to cope and finally beat your own inner struggles. You sure help others do it with the Being app. And for bringing this alturistic good to so many users, I would like to thank you. Great work!

Hi there! Any update of when this is coming to iOS?

I love apps which help people improve their mental health! This is amazing!

There was a time when I didn't feel anything at all. It was the only way I knew to live. being helped me feel again & be gentle with whatever I was feeling. It has helped me let go of all that I was holding inside and heal. It helps me see who I'm in moments when I feel lost, directionless and uneasy. I have struggled with my identity, my entire life. I, in fact, distanced myself from people just so I could understand myself without anyone else's influence. being helps me find my own answers and feel okay with not having all answers. I'm learning the true meaning of accepting myself with being. It's really beautiful to see myself again, to feel again. being feels like home to me.

I have been using Being from day one when it's development started. It's something that helps you to be. The way it categorises multiple expressions or stages of our life is phenomenal. You will relate with the contents and find your feelings here. Best thing is you don't have to search for the contents according to your mood, it already served here. It will teach you to be yourself, be the way you are, acceptance. Just want to thank the creators of Being.

Highly recommended..

Being can be your best friend if you are choosing over and over again and again on your me time.. During a random search have got to know regarding this application and from that time being is part of my daily life also I do enjoy while going through the articles..❤ And a funny fact was that when I get scolded I jump to being.. 😅😜😉

This app has changed the way I look at life and myself. Everytime I go to this app, it gives me the perspective, the understanding of EXACTLY what I need in that moment. I love how it reflects upon each and every aspect of 'being' and that really helps me to know myself better and better everytime I use it. I can't recommend this app enough, it is one of the best things that you would ever need for yourself! To Being and it's makers, Thanks for guiding me in my journey and helping me just simply be in each moment. Thank you:)

This app is Highly Recommended!! Thanks for making this. I have never felt more of myself before using 'Being':)

Using this app helped me understand that I was living more in my past or future.. but, you know guys what is more important? Mindfully being in the present! And that is what I use the app for. Thank you for creating it. It's good and it works!
