Bright is your super app for health. We bring together body recomposition programs, recovery/stress/exertion scores, meal logging, energy tracking, sleep tracking, heart monitoring, nutrient analysis and 100m nutrition profiles into one platform.
Hey all,
We've been working on Bright for the past few years in Sydney, Australia and are keen to start sharing our work with everyone. We think before Bright launches on the App Store we need to cross a really high threshold of accuracy, precision and general build quality.
Our purpose for Bright is to be the last health app you need. We bring together all the health trackers available today and natively provide them in one platform. You can integrate your wearable and in the future, you'll be able to import data from other apps to kickstart your experience.
To help fix any issues now, we're releasing Early Access for A$49 and with it, Lifetime Access to Bright. There are only a few limited spots available so get in while you can.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks :)
@deshraj_singh thank you! Planning on integrating all the wearables that's needed + importing data from pre-existing apps to make it seamless for users to change over!
@bryan_jordan props for working on an important problem. I definitely use some of the health trackers and I enjoy the big vision. More first impression thoughts here:
I use Athlytic for this purpose now. I’m curious what specific features you have that Athlytic might not. Either way, I’ll give it a try and see who has the edge because I love the “last health app” promise!
Curious about the final product. And for now I’ll accept your kind gesture to get lifetime access for a discounted price. Something more new products and services on PH should embrace.
@suijkerwerk thank you! Still have a bit to go to finalise the launch version of Bright but I think Lifetime Access in exchange for helping debug Bright is a fair trade.
@sentry_co thanks! We have a commitment to be the last health app you need so we plan on evolving Bright from a lifestyle focus to one that's clinical!
@bryan_jordan That's a great ambition to have. But we all know customers only switch from what they use today to something new like Bright, if they can clearly understand what makes your app different. So my question remains. Why should I switch from the built in health app that apple provides to bright?
@bryan_jordan Fair enough. Im unable to understand what bright has that the native apple health app doesn't have? If it really replaces 10 apps, It would be beneficial to see a compare chart with competitors. So that customers can easily understand why they should adopt Bright. It's not easy to understand why from the website alone.
It looks really sleep, but I’m not sure why I don’t want to use something like this. From what I understand, it syncs with wearables and other apps, and simply shows you all the information in one place. So if I have a WHOOP wearable and track my meals in myfitnesspal, I’ll be able to view information from both in Bright instead of having to open each app individually. That doesn’t sound that valuable though… Am I missing something?
I bought it, but I'm not impressed. My first impression is that it's Apple Health with recipes. It seems largely redundant to Apple Health and device-specific apps like Oura, Withings, etc, so I don't really see myself using it. Can I get a refund?
Here's the response I received from the Bright team:
-------------------------------------------------
Hey Brad,
KJ from the Bright team here.
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds based on a change of mind. If you've bought the early access version for TestFlight, you will have lifetime access to Bright. In the coming days, we will be fixing any issues or problems you may have encountered. The app will receive feature updates up till our official launch in June. This includes features like recovery, stress, and exertion scores. You can find out all about our future releases on our roadmap here -> https://roadmap.thebrightapp.xyz...
Do let me know if you have any further questions!
Cheers
KJ
-------------------------------------------------
I'm shocked by this response. In this day and age, you rarely come across a software company that refuses to refund, particularly in a situation where they can easily disable the app by removing the customer's access in TestFlight. Also, my reason for requesting a refund was not because I simply "changed my mind". It was because the app failed to meet my expectations. Their assurances that they will fix whatever issues I encountered completely misses the point. Fundamentally, I don't see the point of this app. One may question why I purchased an app for which I didn't see the point, but\ without trying it out first, you have no way of knowing what its capabilities are.
BUYER BEWARE!
THANK YOU!
Woah, we're blown away by the response from the Product Hunt community. We were aiming for a top-3 result so seeing us reach #1 is amazing. Thank you very much. We've sold over 200 passes in 8 hours which is very exciting.
A few passes are still available but we're nearly all out. You can get your pass here - https://www.thebrightapp.xyz/joi...
No product demo. Just a few screenshots, so you guys didn’t even care to make prototype before asking someone to 29.99 per month and 299 per year subscription cost but if I subscribe for early access It’s $49 lifetime. There are bunch of health data aggregators available now, some free and some at cost but nothing new.
@sepnorouzi hey thanks for your question. So we’ve indexed UberEats and DoorDash and are currently in the process of indexing other international platforms/supermarkets/stores. We then use machine learning to generate a nutritional profile based on government datasets so there’s only one nutrition profile vs the infinite from users.
