Reflect — Personal data tracking, insights, and experiments
@davidntlai Ideas can come from anywhere......sometimes the most meaningful ones emerge from life's most unexpected moments. Wishing you all the best!
@davidntlai Fellow developer of Reflect here. I have written about some examples of how I've used Reflect on my blog. Here's a few:
Examined how meditation impacts my mood and sleep with a series of self-experiments
I think these highlight how the app can be useful to provide novel insights! In all of these, I discovered something unexpected about myself.
I love the focus on agency and local data storage...
Excited to give this a try—congrats on the launch, and props for turning a side project to a main project :))
Best of luck David & Syler!!
A refreshing approach to self-tracking that respects privacy, love how it correlates meditation, mood, and daily habits in one place. The local data storage is a big plus. Great work!💪
I love the story behind Reflect, it’s inspiring to see something so personal evolve into a product that genuinely helps people. The focus on privacy and self-determination really stands out, especially in a world where most tracking apps are data-hungry. I’m curious about the self-guided experiments feature, that sounds like a powerful way to understand personal habits and well-being.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending wins to the team :) @davidntlai
I need to say there that the design is pretty sleek! 👍
Good job!
I am a big proponent for self-improvement. This seems like a great way to manage those efforts. Congratulations on the launch and best of luck to the team.
I recommend this app because Reflect is an incredibly useful tool for self-improvement. It helps you track progress against your goals, experiment with different lifestyle interventions, gain valuable insights from wearables, and visualize your life data in a beautiful and understandable format.
That's great! I just need to install an app on my Apple Watch to track and record my daily activities. And here it is!
It offers a practical and scientific approach to helping users explore their lives and improve themselves. Looking forward to seeing Reflect enhance more and more people’s lives. Congrats!
This is an incredible launch, David & Syler! The journey behind Reflect is inspiring—sometimes the best ideas come from life’s unexpected challenges.
Excited to try it out :)
Hello ProductHunt!
Reflect started from a hospital bed, when there was not much else for me to spend my time on except play around with side projects. I decided to make myself a meditation timer, after becoming disillusioned with my then-favorite, which had grown to become increasingly unfriendly to privacy and increasingly complex.
After implementing functionality to track my meditation, I wanted to correlate my meditation metrics to other facets of my life such as my sense of well being. My former coworker (and now my co-founder) was using Google Forms to track her mood at the time. We both wanted a privacy focused tool to suit our needs, and so Reflect was born.
We now use Reflect to track anything and everything; our mood, symptoms, activities, exercise, self care routines, and even the time we spend working on Reflect itself.
Creating a platform for tracking anything exposed a number of opportunities to use Reflect for self improvement and self discovery. Reflect lets us:
- Set personal goals, measured by progress defined for a particular metric tracked (e.g. number of times you go outside per day)
- View trends and correlations
- Run self-guided experiments to test interventions such as the effect of a new nighttime routine, or the impact of a new medication on ones symptoms
- Define a daily schedule and track ones time
Reflect embodies our values and philosophy, which include privacy, agency, and self determination. To this end, Reflect keeps all data local to the device and provides an unmatched level of control and configurability. We've made a tool that we're excited about and proud to share with you, so thank you for checking it out!
