What I've read is something like: "I made this app with ChatGPT! It has nutrition and stuff, and will help with mental health."
Take that not as discouragement, but feedback on your pitch.
What I'd need to find this credible is a breakdown of all the features, and preferably how they differ from other apps on the market.
I'd also want a public link to the software, so that anyone can download and scrutinize it - upload it to virustotal, decompile it, whatever.
The privacy and vagueness is not a good look.
I'm not sure how to make a public link while it's still in the testing phase but I really appreciate your feedback.
The app is built on 9 core tenets of health and wellness which are: light, inner work, fitness, eating healthy, sensory health, purpose, activity, community and creative expression. The idea is that if you can make yourself excel in each of these 9 areas, your mental health will be good. Whenever you want to use the app, each day there is a short little check-up with a short 1-minute questionnaire and based on your answers, you will see a bar graph with your results. Your results will change as each bar either gets better or worse based on how many times you take the short questionnaire or the longer "Lifestyle Survey," which is one of the options in the side menu. This is good because you can see what areas you are lacking in your life and there will be a little "prescription" of the bottom 3 areas that you need to work on most. You also get an Analytics page where you can see which of those 9 tenants is improving or that is decreasing so it's kind of like a snapshot of your mental health.
In the side menu, you have that survey which can be 18, 36, 54, or 72 questions, the "Fitness Space," a To-Do List, a Day Planner, a Budget Planner, a Daily Journal, "My Goals," a music player, and settings.
In the Fitness Space, we have a timer, weight tracker, over 60 body weight + dumbbell workouts that can be done from home for each muscle in the body, a workout planner where you can plan what muscles you will work on what day, and a section where you can take "progress pics."
The Meal Planner is also in the fitness space. I worked really hard to design diet plans that would target the neurotransmitters that would be beneficial for different mental disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, and schizophrenia. This is based on Linus Pauling's orthomolecular diet theory that he used to treat schizophrenia but his research was shafted with the introduction of antipsychotics. You can "auto-populate" the meal plan with a breakfast/lunch/dinner for each day of the week, or you can make your own recipes in the Recipe Planner where you can have your own Recipe Book and auto-populate from that. When you make a meal plan like that, there is also a "Grocery List" that auto-populates so you can go there and see all the ingredients you'll need to buy to make your meals for the week, and each meal comes with a detailed recipe to follow. Or alternatively, you can just manually type in meals for each day of the week.
The To-Do List can be imported from your to-do list or any of your lists in your iPhone reminders, and then those items automatically show up in your day planner so you can drag and drop what parts of your to-do list you're going to knock out at what time of the day.
The Budget Planner lets you type in how much you earn a month as well as your monthly expenses and it comes with a "Weekly Tracker" so every time you spend money, you can enter it there and choose what category of spending it is and make sure you dont go over budget. I attached a photo of what the Weekly Tracker looks like.
The Daily Journal is password-protected so you can write journal entries and keep those safe there.
The Goal Setting component has two components, where you choose what goal you want to complete and the app makes sure you plan it out using the "SMART goals method" which is a common concept in psychology and then breaks down your goals using the "5-year-plan method" (another concept) except your goal can take 1 week, 1 month or 1 year. Then, the other component is the actual 5-year-plan where you say where you want to be in 5 years, brainstorm everything you need to do to get there, say when you want to do what, and then you have your goal set and check off parts of the goal when you complete something.
After you see your mental health results, you can go to a "Tips" section where you can get tips on how to improve in each of the 9 tenets. There are also mini brain games like chess, checkers, hangman, and word searches. There is a Sleep Hygiene checklist you can complete to make sure your Sleep Hygiene is good (this is another wellness concept like going to bed at the same time, not spending time in bed during the day, keeping the room dark and cool, not using screens before bed etc.) There is also a drawing board, like a mini-app where you can make art, or a design board which is hard to explain but basically you can take photos from your camera roll and make a collage.
I plan to add some kind of Community component where you can meet up with other people in your area which might be using the app but that's still in the works and not exactly sure if or how I want to go about that yet.
There is also Tips for the disorders we talk about in the app which are anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, BPD, psychosis, PSSD, and C-PTSD. Each one of these gets its own dedicated page where they have their own sections about signs & symptoms, 36 tips for managing these without meds, nutritional suggestions, and their own cognitive resets. These are for when you're basically having a meltdown and can't move from depression, or having an anxiety attack, etc. and you can use cognitive resets to snap out of it or calm yourself down if we are talking about anxiety & depression.
That's about as thorough as I can be right now but I've been working on the app for months and I would love for someone to try it so if anyone's interested please let me know.
