Cactus — Boost your mood and emotional intelligence in one minute
People are stressed out and turning to meditation for help. But meditation isn’t for everyone. Cactus combines guided reflection prompts, a private journal, and intimate sharing to help you live a more fully actualized life. And it’s free.

I've really wanted to get into a more intentional practice of gratitude but struggling with the initial habit formation part...this seems like such a great solution for that! thanks for making.
@lnchoi so happy to hear you feel that way! That’s a big part of why we made it.
Hey Product Hunters!
We wanted the benefits of meditation – less anxiety, more calm focus, improved presence – but we each struggled with the actual practice of meditation. We figured there was a better way to practice mindfulness. After working with a positive psychology expert, we built Cactus.
- Boost your mood and improve your focus
- Guided self-reflection and mindful exercises
- Private journal for your private thoughts
Cactus provides a daily minute of mindfulness to help you focus on the positive themes in your busy life. Boost your mood and increase your emotional intelligence with Cactus!
You guys might want to consider giving a sample tip. Else it's a 24-hour wait before one can use your site.
@jake_tran Cactus is currently a progressive web app, optimized for mobile, available to everyone.
@devon_meadows @jchopak Honestly, no. We have ideas, but we really just wanted this for ourselves and realized others wanted it, too. Just putting that vision together (we have a lot of work to do) will keep us busy enough for a while.
Love the idea! And the design is so lovely🤩. Looking forward for a mobile app version.
@antonina_krus Thank you, Antonina! All design credit goes to the exceptional @blackmankatie + the energetic Cactus community feedback.
Nice product,
I would suggest you to change your invite link generation logic. Using email is not a good practice. People don't want to reveal their email addresses.
This is a nice project with great design and straightforward execution. Looking forward to hearing what your plans are for the future!
@liam_roberts Thank you, Liam. Design praise goes to @blackmankatie + a lot of great feedback from the Cactus reflect-ers.
Wow, love it. Beautifully designed and the execution seems to be very smooth too! I often find myself thinking about starting a journal, however, it just seems to be too much time effort for me. The concept of cactus makes it really efficient and fun to use it. Thank you guys!
@sobedominik Thank you so much for sharing this, Dominik. That has been our same experience.
@anna_danilec Thanks, Anna! We couldn't do it without @blackmankatie and the neverending, awesome feedback from the Cactus community.
This is great! I can't get myself into meditation... I know it gives great long term benefits but it can't beat the immediate satisfaction that writing out a happy memory or reading a uplifting quote does :D I will try this out, thanks
@lidiaklingenberg That's the same experience we had, Lidia. So happy to hear you're into it!
@sobstel Yep! We're currently developing this and testing it with a few beta users. We plan to share it soon.
@joy_sarkar1 I'm happy to tell you that it's in development now! We've testing with beta users and expect to share it with you soon.
