Congrats Kelly! Journaling is a great way to offload and reflect. Best of luck with your cool product 😊
@simona_o_neill3 thanks for your support! It's indeed one of the best habits for self-development. Has personally helped all of us makers tremendously over the years. Please let us know what you think after your free trial!
@simona_o_neill3 Thank you so much! We completely agree about the power of journaling. We appreciate your support and hope you'll give us a try! 😊
@simona_o_neill3 Thank you so much, Simona! Sunrise wants to be your safest digital place. 💖
Grats on the launch, @kellypoly. There's a unique sweetness to this app. Or shall I say a mindfulness one ;) Really well crafted, and worth using. How do you plan to keep the app content and routines fresh?
Installed and supported.
@kellypoly @fabiosalvadori LOL how about both sweet and mindful? ;)
Yes! Planning to add monthly guides + Bedtime Stories moving forward! A lot, a lot, a lot more coming your way.
Thanks so much for the install. Please let us know what you think!
@fabiosalvadori Thank you so much for downloading the app! As Han mentioned, we plan to continuously update our guided templates and bedtime stories content. 🤗 Thanks for your support!
Launching soon!
@kellypoly I really love this mission and the UI looks super clean upon first glance! Congrats on the launch and Im looking forward to digging deeper!
Sounds like killer adoption thus far.
@kellypoly @dzaitzow thanks so much! the design is all @kellypoly. appreciate you taking a deeper look - please let us know if you have any feedback!
Launching soon!
@nicolepark Much appreciated! Looks like your team is killing it at the moment so wishing you a ton more success during what I can only assume is a hectic launch day!
Congrats, Kelly,I tried out your product briefly, and it's a great idea.
However, my initial experience suggests there's room for improvement in the UI.
It’s a bit tricky to input text on mobile, so I’d recommend adding more input assistance or including a voice-to-text feature.
Also, could you consider adding some gentle background music? It would be really helpful for relaxing.
@rick_fan thanks for giving it a try and providing great ideas.
We do have a "Do Nothing" Timer that's meant for you to listen to music / background noise and relax. :)
There's also a Bedtime Stories section, where we're planning to add relaxing music!
Or did you want to listen to music while you wrote the journals? 🤔
@rick_fan Thank you so much for the feedback, Rick! 💛 We'll incorporate your feedback to improve UI.
Need of the hour. Kudos Kelly and team. Also a really thoughtful name for the product. I am going to try Sunrise out over the weekend and try it out.
@kaushik_mukherjee1 Thank you so much! Yup - we wanted people to get clarity through our app so named it Sunrise. Can't wait to hear your feedback :)
@kaushik_mukherjee1 Thank you for your kind words and interest in Sunrise! We're looking forward to hearing about your feedback. ☀️
@kaushik_mukherjee1 Thank you so much, Kaushik! We're delighted that you find the name thoughtful. Please share your thoughts anytime. 💛
Always love to support a mental health focused app - we've become spiritually rich with so much content to consume, but it also brought on lots of burdens. This covers quite a few different use cases - not only journals which are CBT based but also bedtime stories. I can see this extended into many other areas.
I'm curious what's the biggest different when it comes to building an app for the Korean market vs North America? Do users have different use cases?
Congrats on the launch @kellypoly and team!
@kellypoly @tonyhanded thanks so much for taking the time to support us today!
So far, Korean users are much more inclined to "just journal" whereas North American users are more interested in the guided templates when it comes to our product. Our numerical product level data isn't 100% aligned with this statement though - this statement is mainly based on user interviews, cultural differences, and gut feeling. We'll let you know if anything else pops up in this regard!
Thanks again for your question!
@tonyhanded Nice question! I hope Han's response resolved your curiosity! Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it. ☀️🌿
Congratulations on your launch! The founder's story resonated with me so much. I remember that my calmest days were when I documented my feeling every day in a diary (years ago). Definitely gonna download the app and try when I get to my phone. 👏
@natalia_toth thank you so much for reading our founding story - honestly we all need help from time to time! Please let us know what you think after you give it a try ❤️❤️❤️
@natalia_toth Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your personal experience with journaling!💖 Can't wait for you to try Sunrise.☀️
Congrats! I've been waiting for your launch! UI looks super clean!
May I ask what are some of your launching strategies? I have seen Sunrise had a good amount of people on waitlist. Also the interaction with the product looks cool!
I will launch my product soon. I would love to get some insights from such a powerful launch!
@apodebana awesome! glad you like the ui!

@apodebana I think people could easily try out our B2C journaling app, and since mental health issues are pretty serious these days, it probably resonated with them. Thanks for liking Sunrise's design. I'm looking forward to your launch too!

@kellypoly,@the_han_kim,@nicolepark great job Congratulations on the launch really interested to try this, this is increasing important in the coming years. How did you guys get the first 100 users ?
@riston_thomas Thank you so much, Paul! We gained our first 100 users by promoting in Korean online communities. :)
Journalling is such a vital habit to develop and nurture. Sunrise has brought to us a great tool that is extremely valuable. Well done Han, Kelly, Simona and the rest of the team making this possible.
I've never stopped looking for some guidance on journaling and mindfulness. It's hard to get to it and also where to start. Then consistency is another challenge. Burnout is real, especially for someone like me running multiple businesses. Would love to try this! Congrats @kellypoly
@marilynwo Thank you for sharing your experience, Marilyn! Sunrise's sunflower widget can help you maintain a consistent journaling habit in a fun way. And as someone who has experienced burnout, I think the guided templates might be helpful for you. If you have any questions while using the Sunrise app, please feel free to share them anytime! Thanks for your support. 💖🌿
@kellypoly @marilynwo Woud love to hear your feedback after giving it a try! Thanks so much for supporting us and checking out our app. Please let us know if you need anything!
@marilynwo We really appreciate you! :) Hope you enjoy Sunrise and share your thoughts with us!
Congratulation on the launch Kelly!
I really like the idea of guided journals - myself I several times tried to put the thoughts in the journal, but the guidance is what I've missing) Plus emotional support and reflection based on what was written sounds like a great feature!
@aleksanadr_lavrinenko thanks so much for your support!
Definitely - we've all been there while journaling (staring at blank pages trying to put words to paper).
Please try out our app and let us know what you think! Welcome any feedback!
@aleksanadr_lavrinenko Thank you so much for recognizing our values, Aleksandr! Hope you enjoy Sunrise! 💛
Ohhhh it's so cute that you are taking care of mental health. And I like your approach to help people, it looks very helpful
@valentyna_zakharova thank you! we focused on making it look friendly :) please give it a try and let us know what you think!
@valentyna_zakharova We think mental health is a particularly important issue these days. Thank you for appreciating our intention! ☀️
Congrats on the launch @kellypoly! I love the guide part where it explains the reasoning why you write what you write and what it helps you with!
@kellypoly @rokasjk so stoked that you like it ❤️ yup we try to make our guides evidence-based so that it's actually helpful for your mental health. Please let us know if you want to see any other features!
thanks again for your support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
