Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m a mindfulness and breathwork facilitator building a wellness practice on the side. By day I’m still in a tech role, which is where the story really starts.
I spent years watching wellbeing get reduced to a Slack channel, a yoga voucher, and a “resilience” workshop on a Friday afternoon. None of it touched the actual problem. I burned out, found breathwork and mindfulness through trying to fix myself, and ended up training as a facilitator. The plan is to eventually run the practice full-time. That’s the goal.
I wanted a community app I could point clients and curious people toward. Something free, no strings, that wasn’t going to harvest their data or guilt them into a streak. Every wellness app I tried made me sign up, accept cookies, pick a “wellness goal,” and watch an onboarding video before I could breathe for 60 seconds. When you’re already stressed, that’s three steps too many.
So I started building.
I’m not a developer. I’ve been around devs for years as BA/PO/PM, but I’d never written production code itself before. I vibe-coded the whole thing with Claude and Google as my only tools. A few weeks later, Low Tide Calm was live on Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Microsoft Store, Samsung (in a couple days or so) and the web PWA. Four stores, working signing pipelines, offline-first architecture. None of which I knew anything about when I started.
Every day a new stuck moment, every evening another one solved. I have a graveyard of broken builds, a Git history full of “fix,” “fix again,” and “ok now it actually works,” and a Notes app full of error messages I now actually understand.
Architecturally, it’s a PWA wrapped as a TWA across all the stores. One deploy, every version updates, no review queues. Feedback on a Monday can be live by Tuesday. For a solo non-dev, that iteration speed is the difference between an app and a graveyard.
The app is free. It’ll stay free. Everything lives on your device, no account, no tracking, no ads, no premium tier. There’s a small CTA buried in the About settings if you want to find my practice, but that’s it. No loud funnel, no upsell, no nudges. Free now, free for the foreseeable. If that ever changes, I’ll tell you before it happens, not after.
I’m still in the day job while I build the practice up properly. This launch is partly a milestone for me (I shipped a real thing on four stores) and partly a hand reaching out to the people who’d actually use it. If you’re scattered, overwhelmed, neurodivergent, or just tired of wellness apps treating you like a metric, I hope it helps.
Feedback welcome. Be kind, I’m one person.
