Hi there, Product Hunt 👋✨
I’m Maria, one of the founders of Unstuck. I’m beyond thrilled to introduce you to a project that's close to my heart and designed to help people overcome anxiety.
Before we dive into the app's features, let me share the story that inspired this project.
✍️ MY STORY
Anxiety used to be a constant presence, blocking me from living my life fully. Then, I discovered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and everything changed. CBT empowered me to take control of my anxiety and transform my life. It was a game-changer. However, with $200 per therapy session, it came with a heavy financial burden, and I knew there had to be a more accessible solution — not just for me but for everyone.
💡 THE SOLUTION
So, along with Calvin Woo and Stephanie Yu — my software engineering partner and our clinical scientist friend — we embarked on a journey to create Unstuck. It’s a journaling tool based on CBT, which is the gold standard of anxiety treatment. We’ve meticulously crafted it to be functional, empowering, and accessible! It's been my trusty sidekick on my own mental health journey — helping me turn my persistent anxiety into a sporadic visitor. And it is my great hope that it can help others like me overcome anxiety one journal entry at a time.
📱💻 THE FEATURES
With repeated use, CBT journaling helps you train your brain to overcome anxiety. For this, Unstuck offers two carefully crafted journal types based on CBT principles:
- The Thought Journal — Examine your thoughts, challenge unhelpful patterns, and find new perspectives.
- The Savoring Journal — Boosts wellness by helping you appreciate positive moments and train your mind to have a more positive outlook.
Together, they work in unison to help you improve your well-being. Plus, additional features further help support your mental health journey:
- A weekly assessment to track your mental health.
- Insights that show your progress and highlight areas of improvement.
- Journaling goals and motivational smart reminders.
- And Unstuck works on all devices, so you can always access relief and support wherever you go.
We are so excited to share Unstuck with you all and we look forward to hearing from the Product Hunt community to get feedback.
With gratitude,
Maria

Congratulations on your launch! The more resources we have for mental health, the better. I'm wondering, what makes your app different from other CBT based apps? :)
Congrats on the launch! I've personally used the app and love how the seamless user experience enables one to get started with the journaling process. CBT is one of the most powerful approaches to self reflection and personal therapy. This app is the perfect on-ramp to get you started on the journey of understanding your thoughts and feelings. Congrats Maria and Calvin!
Congrats on the launch! I have been using this app for a while and it has helped me several times with my anxiety struggles. I love the clean, intuitive interface and the thinking traps section. For me, journaling with Unstuck has helped me identify my emotional triggers and make a move away from the spiraling thoughts. Excited to see what the team comes up with next.
The world needs this app!! Congrats on the launch and thanks for giving people another avenue for optimizing their mental health.

How often are the weekly assessments updated to reflect user progress?
Wishing you all the best as Unstuck helps people on their mental health journeys.
We frequently lose ourselves with unwanted mood swings, feelings or anxious thougths because of a fast pace of today's world. Unstuck is great that it helps me streamline and journal my feelings at the moment that can't pull me in bad mood. I highly recommend Unstuck if you want to balance your swings 🙌🙌
Woah, amazing branding and design work.
The light gradients, and minimal/clean design is really really appealing!
Since you mentioned feedback in launch notes, my only small feedback is adding social's to the 'about us' page. I am not a potential user for this, but would love to tag your team into conversations around this space in the future.
Side question - Would love to hear what your team plans to do to expand post-launch? Best of luck, and congrats on the launch!
