Hello, fellow makers!
My name is Anton, I'm the founder of Urso – a mobile game that really cares about your mental health. Our team aims to turn the daily self-care routine into a fun and engaging experience.
Daily self-care is a struggle 😓
We all know mental well-being is a big deal, right? Many of us resort to mindfulness to tackle stress, burnouts, sleep issues, and whatnot. But once we've sorted out the issue at hand, it can be really challenging to keep nurturing our mind on a daily basis. Self-care becomes yet another task on the to-do list that takes time and doesn't bring immediate rewards.
Games help in forming a habit 🕹️
The same goes for anything that needs a solid kick of motivation, like learning, jogging, or hitting the gym. Before our brain forms a habit, it feels like a boring chore. That's why many fitness and educational apps toss in game elements to make things more rewarding and help users reach their real-life goals. We aim to do the same for mental health care.
The game for a happier mind 🧠
Our new app offers a range of guided meditations, which remain the core activity. On top of that, there's an idle meta-game featuring a cute virtual pet named Urso who crash-landed on an uncharted world and needs aid. By completing daily mindful activities, users help Urso evolve, explore the world, discover new stuff, and build his new home among the stars.
Mindfulness for everyone 🤗
We have many things planned: social mechanics, micropets, deeper exploration, as well as more educational content. But the main focus is to make daily mental health care more appealing. While not everyone may be prepared to commit their lives to mindfulness, we believe that everyone can take small steps toward it every day. Especially if it's fun!
To bring all our plans to life, we're on the lookout for investments. Please drop me a line at anton@ursoapp.com, and let's chat about all the exciting details.
The app is free, so no promo codes here. But every Product Hunter who downloads Urso within the next week and completes their first session will get an exclusive in-game t-shirt 🎁
Thank you for your support 💙
@anton_shayakhov such a beautiful , thoughtful and kind game! congrats on the launch and good luck!!!
@anton_shayakhov so true. For some reason, it is a pleasure just to observe Urso chilling on his islands 😊
Congratulations! I believe that idea of gamifying meditations is pretty fresh by itself.
@megadrone86 And thank you for all your cool ideas that you brought to our project!
I'm excited to see our launch on Product Hunt! It's a testament to the hard work of our team, and I couldn't be prouder of this milestone.
What a lovely way to take care of mindfulness. It made me meditate 3 days in a row without any struggle. Thanks to the nice pet and a great app!
@sannysoft A big thank you for your support. And thanks for using our app since the launch – I really appreciate it.
Nice change from the typical apps in this space. Keep updating the app and your roadmap and keep using your funding wisely to be around in 2024 and beyond!
@onelocalfamily Yes, this is wise advice, we will definitely try to do so. Thanks for the support!
@vignestion Thank you! Yep, we also believe that our product will be in demand in the market.
Congratulations guys! Very cool idea and a very nice looking app! Impressive! 👏😍✨
@anastasia_stasy I'm so happy to read all these warm words of support. Thank you so much!
Wow, congrats! Great idea; I love that you are trying to use gamification for good. The app looks like it needs a bit of polishing, but it works, and I definitely see a lot of value in it. I would love to be able to change the language and give it to my kids to try it out, too.
@kzieba First of all, thank you for your support.
Yes, the app definitely needs a bit of polishing; it's 0.7 version. Version 0.8 is currently in the App Store review. We understand there's still a lot to improve.
As for supporting other languages, I can't promise that at the moment; it's not in the immediate plans (2-3 months), to be honest.
Thank you again!
@anton_shayakhov Sure, I get it. Fingers crossed for the app! I've already downloaded it on my iPhone and will keep checking out :)
@kzieba Yes, we're keeping an eye on the updates. Very soon, a new version will be released where we have completely redesigned Urso's journey scene, and it will look stunning!
Thank you )
@kzieba thanks for your support, Krys! Yeah, the app still have many edges that need a good polish. And them edges getting polished right at this very moment. Hopefully, we'll have an update early next week 🙌
Just checked out Urso and I'm genuinely impressed! I've known Anton for many years and his dedication to creating impactful products has always stood out. With Urso, he's taken it to the next level, offering a unique gamified approach to mental well-being
@spkonovalov I'm really pleased to read such strong words of support. Thank you so much, Sergey! I truly appreciate that.
@alenapovarova Yes, exactly like that! We even cut the basic meditations to 3 minutes to make it easier. Thank you for your support)
