Journify
A journaling meditation app using ai to help with mindfulness that tracks analytics to help keep track of your progress
Role: Product Designer
Team: Worked with another cofounder/ developer
Duration: September 2023 - July 2024
Process: Weekly Sprints
I created this mindfulness journal app as a passion project because I believe in the power of slowing down, and giving our inner world a space to breathe. I wanted to blend creativity with purpose—designing something that helps others feel more present, more grounded, and more connected to themselves with the power of ai.
Problem
After the pandemic, anxiety and depression jumped by 25% worldwide. While journaling and mindfulness can help, many people struggle to stay consistent and engaged. We set out to create a simple, supportive tool to help users stay mindful, focused, and accountable in their daily practice.
The Idea & Goal
We wanted to blend mindfulness with digital convenience, offering a serene space for personal reflection and growth. Inspired by the principles of Zen and the flexibility of Notion, we seeked out a way to transform the journaling experience with its unique yet simple features and intuitive design.

PRODUCT HUNT
This sounds incredible! Journify really seems like a game-changer for journaling. I love the idea of Zen music to set the mood and those customizable entries are just perfect! Seriously, tracking moods with pie charts? That's so clever! Plus, focus mode sounds like a total lifesaver for those distraction-prone days. Can't wait to give it a try and see how it elevates my journaling routine. Keep up the awesome work!

DISCORD
I loved Journify app, just signed up. Two things, may be consider playing with different colours for CTA (looks inactive) and on home page I dint know I could scroll down. I loved the tutorial/onboarding how it moves to each element to explain functionality.
Awesome work
