How it started

Ania Wysocka had a panic attack in her fourth year of university and found existing apps either clinical or hypnosis-based. Non-technical, she sketched the app in notebooks, taught herself to make wireframes in Photoshop and Illustrator, and invested her savings to build an MVP with a student developer. Launched in 2019, growth started slowly (~10K downloads year one) and was driven by focusing on user reviews and quality, reaching 4M+ downloads.
