Hey everyone! I've been on a quest to improve my mental and physical well-being so I can present the best version of myself to the people around me. Amongst other things, this quest led me to start building Kin with @amittm, @damienkan, and @omarjalalzada We have personally experienced the profound benefits of developing and maintaining healthy habits— they helped us be more healthy, mindful, and grounded while navigating all the triumphs and challenges of our personal lives. That's why we created Kin to help us in our journey but also share it as a gift with the rest of the world. We've been beta testing this with our friends so far and received valuable feedback. Now, we're really excited to invite the Product Hunt maker community as our collaborators as we build a product that could positively impact many lives. Give the app a try, send us feedback via the built-in chat, or send an email to feedback@kinhabits.com Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you! Use the chat to ask us any questions, provide feedback, or share stories about your journey in building/breaking habits.

Ive been using Kin for months and its had a significant impact on my habit and routine building - as well as those around me. I love bringing people together in a group around a shared habit. Thanks Kin Team!!

I've been using Kin for months and it's helped me stay more consistent with my workouts and build a new meditation practice. Design is simple and beautiful!
Justin Kan
@lauren_willey We're very glad to be part of your health journey, keep up the good work!

The onboarding is super smooth. Holding a habit button down to complete was unexpectedly satisfying. ?makers are there plans to allow for The Kin community to reach out to other using the app for accountability vs just friends?
Justin Kan
@gabe__perez We might add discovery soon!
Gabe Perez
@justinkan that'd be awesome!
Hari Ananth
Big fan of Kin - have been using for some time now to improve my meditation, exercise, and eating habits, and it actually works! I was using spreadsheets / giving friends a dollar every time I slip, but this basically replaces all that and makes it a ton easier. The accountability is real... Highly recommend!
Justin Kan
@hariananth Means a lot Hari - thanks!

@zurgun 👍🔥

Congratulations guys! TBH I cannot think of a better ROI investment for humanity than helping people build better habits. So excited for this space!
Omar Jalalzada
@dilan I couldn't agree more! It's the smallest and most fundamental building blocks of our potential. It's can be simple to comprehend but very difficult to implement, we hope to make it a bit easier everyday.

@amittm @damienkan @omarjalalzada @justinkan Congratulations on the launch! The last year has been so such an important year in my life where I got an opportunity to reflect, and form habits. I maintained a journal and used to track activity with a no. of apps in iPhone, but didn't find any good one-stop-solution. I wish Kin was there, to be able to connect with the communities, helping each other reach our goals. Will definitely try it 🙏
Omar Jalalzada
@adityavsc Good job on forming your habits! Last year was definitely intense, to say the least. I'm very curious to learn more from your experience as you build your community within Kin! Encouraging your friends to build healthy habits is not only a noble act of service but also a very effective form of accountability in your own habits.

Pavan Trikutam
I've tried so many tried so many apps and methods to track my habits and stay consistent. Nothing has really stuck so far, but this app looks like exactly what I need. Can't wait to try it!
Justin Kan
@ptrikutam Let me know how you go!
Tess Murphy
Kin provided an easy and straight forward way for me to implement habits I've been wanting to incorporate into my daily routine (like working out and writing more). I also found friends who wanted to achieve similar goals and the app helps facilitate that light social accountability. A beautifully designed app that helps you live a better life.
Justin Kan
@tess_murphy Thank you :) And yes

Gabe Perez
A community member on Twitter is curious how creators can apply to create a course on the app or if that's currently open for submissions.
Omar Jalalzada
