Boost your social confidence through daily real-world challenges. Hatchr uses exposure therapy, the gold-standard method, to help you build confidence step by step—track progress, earn streaks, and grow at your pace, but surrounded by a community.
👋 Hey Product Hunt! We’re the founders of Hatchr — a gamified app to help people overcome social anxiety through real-world exposure challenges.
One of the founders actually grew up with social anxiety.
He was shy, avoided eye contact, scared to take space in public… the usual. But something unusual helped him break through: he started street performing as a breakdancer. That meant performing in public every day! It was terrifying at first, but he did it anyway.
Over time, something clicked. The fear didn’t vanish, but he stopped avoiding it. And that’s what changed everything. People started picturing him as an "extrovert".
Later in life, we all realized: he had stumbled into exposure therapy without knowing it. The most effective, science-backed way to overcome social anxiety… disguised as breakdancing on a sidewalk 😅
So we built Hatchr to bring that same power to anyone who needs it (without the breakdancing part, haha).
An app:
🧠 Based on exposure therapy, the #1 method for social anxiety
🎮 Gamified levels to track your progress + streaks to stay consistent
🤝 Built with a community of people all leveling up, together
We wish we had a tool like this when we were younger. Now we’re building it for anyone who feels stuck, held back, or alone in their social anxiety.
If that’s you or someone you know, we’d love for you to try it.
Let us know what you think, we’re here all day! 🙏
