Unspiral
I'm an overthinker. I surveyed 84 others. Then I built this.
Every wellness app assumes you're already calm. Calm wants 10 minutes. Headspace wants 30 days. Nobody builds for the 2am spiral. Unspiral does. Built after surveying 84 people — 67% overthink daily, 87% say it never helps. Their #1 coping method is scrolling reels. So I built the alternative. Pick Spiral mode or Decide mode. Get to a grounding technique in 3 taps. Log your mood before and after. No subscription. No account. Installs on iPhone and Android.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Palak — I built Unspiral as a PM portfolio project while preparing for internship applications.
The thing I'd love your honest feedback on: the skeptic problem.
One of my 84 survey respondents said "not like I'm gonna pull open the app in the middle of an existential crisis" — and they're right. The hardest design challenge wasn't building the app, it was figuring out how someone actually reaches for it when they're mid-spiral.
My current thinking is a lock screen widget. But I'd love to hear from anyone who's built in the wellness space — how do you solve the activation problem when your user is least likely to help themselves?
Also happy to share the full case study and research if anyone's curious about the process behind this. 🙂
