Sparkles helps you remember and live your deepest insights, mantras & affirmations with timely reminders, widgets, and a wisdom-sharing community. Bridging the gap between notes and daily life so your insights enrich your days and truly integrate.
I'm Ben, and I’m really excited to share Sparkles with you today.
I built Sparkles out of a personal need — I constantly had “aha” moments during therapy sessions, workshops, podcasts, or just late-night journaling... but I’d forget them.
I wanted a way to actually remember and live by my insights, not just write them down and move on.
Sparkles helps you capture your own wisdom and gently reminds you of it through random nudges, such as home and lock screen widgets and push notifications, so your insights can actually support you in daily life.
You’re building a living library of what you know to be true. You can tag and organize insights, or optionally share them with the Sparkles community for inspiration.
Just like affirmations, science shows that repeated exposure to meaningful, self-authored messages can rewire neural pathways, shift thought patterns, and strengthen self-belief. So this isn’t just feel-good — it’s brain-hacking in the best way.
And just to be clear — your data is 100% private by default. Everything you write is for your eyes only unless you choose to share.
Sparkles is here to help bridge the gap between inner work and real life.
I’d love to hear what you think, and answer questions or just to say hi!
Love the idea—especially for those insightful moments that usually just vanish after a while.
One thing I'm wondering is:
How do you ensure insights stay fresh and meaningful over time? Do reminders adjust if they get ignored too often?
Also curious if there's a way to measure whether reminders truly influence habits or thoughts in the long run.
This feels promising for turning "aha" moments into real change. Excited to give it a try!
@novakben How does the app avoid 'over-reminding' or under-delivering? Can users tweak the cadence or context of nudges, or does the randomness intentionally mimic how wisdom surfaces organically in life?
Congrats on the launch, Ben! Sparkles addresses a real need for everyday integration of insights. Looking forward to seeing how it helps users incorporate their moments of clarity into daily life.
Cool idea! I recently found a moleskine notebook from 10+ years ago where i wrote down quotes etc i had found interesting back then. It was great to see that they felt relevant to me even today ... I think this app captures that experience really well. It's also one of those apps that I think will get better with age - these sparkles are not just reliving insights, but also the moments/inspiration that led you to note them down in the first place. Good luck with the launch!
Sparkles feels like a gentle companion in daily life. But when we experience those sudden “aha” moments, is there a way to capture them using voice recording or image recording features?
Congrats Ben! This is such a needed tool for anyone on a personal growth journey. I love the living library concept. Will Sparkles be free for everyone?
Super cool! @novakben congrats !! So what is the one feature that sets this apart from all other similar apps?
This is really nice! I have so many notes and notebooks filled with things I wrote down but never revisit—definitely need to go through them and add them to Sparkles!
I really liked the copy ("Let's talk notifications") and the smooth onboarding!
Quick question: are you planning to bring some personalization options for the widget? :)
Congrats on the launch an I wish you a lot of success!
Been using Sparkles and it’s honestly such a cool idea. This app makes it super easy to hold on to “aha” moments and actually use them in real life.
The nudges are low-key but meaningful, and I also love that everything’s private unless you want to share.
This is one of those apps that quietly makes your day better.
Good for reflecting on the day (and life) ;) I can see many people asking for this in minimalist phone app – they sometimes need any motivation.
Do you have any "success stories" reported by your current users? E.g. improved mood, more goals achieved etc.?
