Not a diagnosis tool. Not a crisis line. Not a replacement for professional support.

Just something for the everyday version of that feeling — when something’s bothering you, you can’t stop thinking about it, and you don’t quite know what to do.

I’ve been building Clarity for about six months. The idea is simple: what if you had access to a thinking partner that was always available, never judged you, had no agenda, and was genuinely good at helping you get clear?

You’d tell it what’s on your mind. It would ask the right questions. And somewhere in that conversation, you’d go from spinning to clear.

Looking for people willing to try an early version and give honest feedback. Let me know if you’re interested.

I've been thinking a lot about how basically every health app we use - period trackers, sleep trackers, fitness apps - is quietly selling our most personal data to advertisers, insurers, and data brokers.

Flo got caught doing it. MyFitnessPal has done it. Even symptom checkers like WebMD share what you search with third parties.

The crazy part? HIPAA doesn't protect you here. Commercial health apps are legally allowed to collect and sell your data.

I'm exploring building a health tracking app where:

- Everything is stored **locally on your device only**

- Zero data ever leaves your phone

- No ads, no data brokers, no "partners and affiliates"

- You pay a small flat fee (~$20/year) instead of paying with your data

Before I build anything, I want to know if this is actually something people want.

A few questions:

1. Which health app do you currently use, and do you trust it with your data?

2. Would you pay $20/year for a privacy-first alternative?

3. What health data do you most want to keep private - sleep, symptoms, cycle, mood, fitness?

Genuinely curious.
