Hey Product Hunters! I’m Andrés, one of the makers of Balance, a self-coaching tool that will help you get a big picture of what is going on in your life. 🤔 Why Balance? Have you ever felt burned out, stressed, or lost? (If not, congratulations! Tell us how you do! haha😁) Balance helps you step back, assess your life across key areas, and identify what needs a boost. ✨How Does Balance Help You? ✅ AI-Powered Insights: Get a personalized snapshot of your life balance with actionable suggestions. ✅ Track Your Progress: See how you're performing over time with historical score comparisons. ✅ Build an Action Plan: Turn insights into action with a guided plan to improve your weaker areas. 🤓 My Personal Story I discovered the wheel of life exercise with an assignment from my life coach a couple years ago. It's a simple yet highly effective exercise that helps you visualize your life's current status. I used to do this exercise on paper, but it was hard to keep track of them, plus nowadays with AI, it is easier to get insights for reflection. While Balance isn't designed for daily use, I've found that doing this exercise once a week is ideal for making meaningful changes in your life that yield noticeable results. 💚 Our Vision Balance is part of Good Life, our suite of tools for holistic wellness. This is just a small step toward that journey 😊 We are a small team of two brothers, and your feedback is very valuable to us. Thank you for your support!

It is nice to see that we have a self-coaching tool for people who can't have expensive human coaches
Andrés González
@shushant_lakhyani thanks! Yep this is completely free, and our plan is to keep it free forever. Though this doesn't replace a coach, it's a good technique to reflect and make specific changes in your life.

Congrats on launch 🚀 It’s similar to life audit which I used to do manually and not consistently. Thanks to Balance, I will be able to track what matters to me the most. Great product and good luck 💪🏽
Andrés González
@millisen thanks! Yes, it's similar. I had the same issues when doing it manually; now I'm more consistent, and it's easier for me to view my action plan and check my progress
Yuki
Wow this is an awesome way to make sure your daily actions are actually aligned with the goals you set out for yourself! I tend to run an audit for myself every month or so but this seems much more consistent and up to date!
Andrés González
@yukioyama Thanks! Yes, we built Balance thinking about making these kinds of reflections more frequent and consistent 🙌

@chrisliam Thanks! Any feedback let us know 🫶
Devin Mark Schneider
This is actually a great idea! I guess most of the people, including me, have some sort of stress in their life. Good luck with your launch!
Andrés González
@devinmark Thanks! Yes, life can be stressful sometimes; that's exactly why we built Balance. I would love for you to try it out and see if Balance can help you manage yours! We have some features specifically designed to combat stress, like identifying areas that might be contributing to it and offering personalized suggestions for improvement. Let us know what you think! Your feedback is appreciated 🫶
Fabrizio D'Urso
@andressul looks cool, will give it a try and meanwhile I've upvoted it. Out of curiosity, what's the reason behind choosing that name considering the meditation and sleep app called Balance too?
Andrés González
@fabdurso Thanks! It's the idea of living a balanced life. It's the target of the app, that's why we chose that name 😊
Mekyal Amiri
Congrats on the launch! I gave the Balance a try and see you list a section beneath the wheel of life called AI-Insights, I'd like to know what model/AI tool you use to extract and provide the insight?
Andrés González
@mekyal_amiri thanks! We're using GPT 3.5 turbo 🙂
Aman Wen
Hooked on the idea of tracking life’s ups and downs over time. It’s not always easy to see progress day-to-day. How does Balance make those insights leap off the screen and feel real to someone who's more of a visual person?
Andrés González
@aman_wen with the graph, you can track your scores across different areas over time with clear visuals. See the ups and downs not just as numbers, but as trends you can celebrate or improve. Additional building the action plan into small specific actions for each area can make it feel like you can make real progress 💪

Artem Shambalov
Is it only in the web? Intriguing to try, but I thought it would be an app
Andrés González
@shambalyov web for now, you can install it as a PWA though if you want 🤓

💎 Pixel perfection
Congratulations on launching Balance! I love the concept and how the visuals effectively illustrate areas of focus to achieve a balanced life. The onboarding process was quick and straightforward, though there seemed to be a pause between onboarding and the next step—it might be helpful to add a loading indicator to reassure users that it's still working. The font size at 12px was a bit small for comfortable reading. Overall, great work on this self-coaching tool!
Andrés González
@jonwhitby Thanks for the feedback! We will work on it 🫶
Nikita Detkov
Your product is quite impressive, team! The concept is truly intriguing. I'm eager to know, what exciting milestones or features are you planning for the next phase of development? Keep up the great work!
Andrés González
@detkov Thanks! We have in the pipeline adding email reminders, and an option to share your balance graph into an image so you can integrate it easier into your reflect system (Notion, Google Doc, etc)

I’ve been working in the self-improvement space with Neurture for a while now and I love to see how people are doing visuals like this because it’s so appealing to the eye. I love the customization of the wheel too. Good luck on the launch!
