Bubb. - Hack your habits with soft random reminders

by•

"Hydrate." "How's your posture?" "Be kind to yourself." Whatever means the most to you, create Bubbs to randomly remind you, whenever it matters most.

I've always been drawn to self-help and personal development. I see every day as a chance to gain some ground. So if you can relate to me, you know the feeling when life forces you to take ten steps back. When I hurt my lower back, I frequented YouTube videos of ways to improve my body condition. What I noticed was that not only were conscious activities like stretching and strengthening vital to the body, but also subconscious ones as well. The small details like... having a healthy pelvic tilt, proper posture, or being well hydrated was pocket change that could really add up to something more significant. I was inspired to build an app that would alert me to the tiny details that I couldn't do consistently on my own. Bubb. at its core is a gong... an app that brings one back to self awareness. All you do is create your soft reminders that trigger at random during a bookends of appropriate time. Bubb. also features a community of shared Bubbs. Share what helps you hack your own habits to inspire others - and download others' as well. Finally - widgets have been integrated to help reinforce your soft goals. If a Bubb. notification pops up - say "Call your parents," but now's not the right time - you'll get the option to pin that message to your widget. Now you've got a sticky widget for sticking habits that's always relevant and changing (and not a nuisance!).

This is great! I was actually looking for something like this last week and ended up setting up iOS shortcuts. This is way simpler! Could you make it compatible for Mac?

@esbvn Thanks! I am trying to make it Mac compatible but currently the notifications are a bit clunky and unpredictable. Stay tuned!
