Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us!
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Chris, one of the co-founders of Shimmer (#1 ADHD Coaching Platform). I’m tremendously excited to share our biggest launch yet!
😫 Quick background on the massive adult global ADHD challenge: 350M+ adults live with ADHD in the world and most solutions that involve are either wildly unaffordable (expensive 1:1 coaching) or don’t address the core root of ADHD challenges in a personalized way (tiktok, ig, etc…)
🕰️ Quick (short) history on how we got here: Last year I was diagnosed with ADHD. I really struggled to find affordable and quality coaching and the community agreed—we amassed a waitlist, a private no-code beta, then our full mobile app launch in the the span of a few months.
🏍️ Fast forward 9 months, and we’ve had the privilege of serving over 1,200 clients in 10,000+ coaching sessions with our mobile app only. The heights our members have achieved bring me to tears each week.
To the exciting part, this is what the web app can uniquely do for our ADHD members:
👉 Allow members to go deep during onboarding: Guided vision setting & our proprietary Shimmer Mastery Assessment
👉 Set quality behavioral goals and keep them front of mind with customized photos (e.g. use a pic of your child if the goal is related to mom-ing!)
👉 Link actions to goals, and when you complete them it automatically notifies your coach to stay accountable!
👉 Get coach support & access bite-sized learning throughout the week!
We’re excited for the Product Hunt Community to check us out and let us know if you have any questions! ❤️
With love, Chris Wang

@mwseibel@christal – thank you!
As a Principal Coaching Psychologist at Shimmer and a technologist obsessed with user-centred design, I am delighted to be part of this launch.
It would be fair to say that UI/UX for most of coaching services has a lot of potential for development, and I am confident that our data, digital and technology team lead by Vikram Sreedhar laid a strong foundation to an attractive and robust interface. This makes our service even more accessible and easy to use.
Hi Everyone! I'm Alex, the Lead Coach and Community Manager at Shimmer!
It's been so great to watch the company develop through multiple stages in order to reach this key moment of the web launch for all! Everyone's engagement and involvement shows the importance of discussions and collaboration in the ADHD space- for there to be a place where there's meaningful conversation. So many of my clients have talked about the web version being a game changer for their journey and how this type of accessibility is what they're looking for.
I am proud to be a part of a company that listens to their clients and works to make their product the best version of itself. (I know Vik put in a TON of hours to make this happen!! Thank you so much!!)
To our clients, it's a testament to how much your voice matters!
Hello everyone! I'm Melkys, the Customer Success Specialist at Shimmer!
I'm so excited about this HUGE milestone! So much hard work has gone into this, it has been inspiring to see so many passionate human beings come together to create an amazing experience and community.
I am immensely proud to be a part of a company that truly values its users and dedicates itself to creating a remarkable space where individuals can voice their thoughts and feel genuinely heard.❤️
Very excited for the future and what's to come!!! 🥳
Thank you so much @mwseibel for hunting us!
Hi everyone! I'm Vikram, one of the co-founders and CTO of Shimmer. 😊
I am super excited to share a major milestone! We have officially launched our brand new Shimmer Web App to the public 🚀🔥
The core team and all of our coaches have been working tirelessly to create the best possible experience for our members, and we're thrilled to now support our ADHD Coaching platform across mobile, web, and even a few widgets! ⭐
It all started with my co-founder Chris’s ADHD diagnosis. And now, in just under 10 months, we’ve served 1000+ ADHD lives. And, we aren’t stopping there.
Please check us out and let us know what you think! We're always open to feedback and really appreciate your support with our Product Hunt launch!
Cheers,
Vikram
Hey everyone! I'm Molisha, the founder's associate at Shimmer.
I can't believe we're at this milestone already, but I'm SUPER excited for the web app & proud to be a part of this team!! Watching the launch come to life, and the amount of hard work that went into it (across the Shimmer team, our members, and the wider ADHD community), gives me goosebumps. To have so many people believe so passionately in a cause is a very special thing. To the product hunt community, this launch is just a stepping stone towards a much larger vision for good. Your love and support means the world to us! 🌎
Hey all! 👋🏻 I’m Rennie, the designer behind the Shimmer web app, and I am SO proud to be a part of this launch! Over the last few months we’ve worked closely with our community workshopping and running little experiments to bring it all together. I hope you’ll get as much out of the platform as I have myself!
I grew up navigating the neurotypical world with undiagnosed ADHD and always thought there must be a better way to work with my tendencies rather than against them. Almost immediately after my first coaching session with Alex, I saw the value and potential for personal growth with her individualized support. I learned a great coach asks the right questions, has a wealth of knowledge, is a great listener, and offers guidance; exploring what sticks to enable lasting change—together.
During the design and research process, we heard our members speak about each of their unique experiences with Shimmer and their coaching journey. For this iteration of the web app, we wanted to really hone in on that relationship of human connection, where members can feel supported and get the guidance they need. A lot can be accomplished in just a short 15 minute session, but we found it’s what happens after the call, and between your next session to be where growth happens. With the launch of goals and more granular progress tracking our hope is to support members and provide the tools they need on their journey of growth and lasting change. We still have a bunch of features under development in our back pocket so stay posted 🥳
I've loved using Shimmer and found some really fantastic ways to grow and deal with challenges that I find as a result of my ADHD. In fact, I ended up actually taking a break because after a couple months, I realized the coping skills I was learning were working so effectively!! I'll be back at some point and I would say of all the things I've tried for ADHD (from tools to medication, etc) this has been the most effective, because the coaches help you learn whats actually going on in your brain and how to "dance" with it, rather than fight against it.
@britt_joiner SO nice to hear from you again Brittany, appreciate this comment and can't wait until you come back soon and see how much we've grown! And we'd love to see how much YOU'VE grown.
And YES you really hit the nail on the head. Dancing with it and really knowing yourself and knowing the root cause of things, instead of just trying to put bandaids on and feeling bad about ourselves.
Congrats on the launch, @christal! I'm just discovering this app for the first time but I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago at the age of 35. The diagnosis completely changed my life as an entrepreneur as I've developed tools for managing & optimizing my ADHD. Coaching specifically geared towards this condition is something I've been seeking for a while, but as you said, the existing options leave a lot to be desired. I'll definitely be trying this out. Must say, I noticed you have some fantastic blog & social media content! Thanks for developing this platform and congrats again!
@miiike Wow, thank you for this comment and the recognition of our blog post and social media content. That must mean you've seen my face making the videos. Equally embarrassed and proud!
Thank you so much for sharing your story publicly. These kind of stories are the exact ones that are needed to destigmatize ADHD challenges in general, and also raise awareness that you CAN manage your ADHD with the right systems and skills, or at least get a lot better at it!
Thank YOU!
@sourabh_upreti Yes!! I have a strong personal mission to solve problems I don't feel are being adequately solved (or not well distributed—e.g. not solved for the people who need it the most) so really appreciate you noticed this!
Congrats to the entire Shimmer team for expanding access to their ADHD product! It's been exciting to watch this product evolve and truly be designed to center its users.
@vrinda_gupta1 The Shimmer team really appreciates your support. The accessibility is a massive priority for us, so honestly we were pretty frustrated for a while (when we were designing/building web) that we didn't have web out to users and that we weren't doing them justice! So that weight is now lifted.
