    The app is for 18+ only, currently! (but we do have a coaching program specifically built for teens between 13-17 y/o if you're interested in the future!)

    Fair, feedback heard from multiple people here on: being more direct, concrete, credible. I'll take this back for the next iteration of the landing page!

    I'm sorry you had a poor experience! 2022 was the year I got diagnosed and the app definitely wasn't nearly as good as it is now, and I'm sorry you went through those bugs. But mor…

    Hahaha, I'm a millennial and that still resonates with me, so I get it. I think within every community there's always a really big span and hopefully our new product experience can…

    Appreciate the thought behind this comment, and the willingness to help with the questions we asked! We actually just came out of beta last week, so the data is skewed. Beta users …

    Thanks, appreciate you! Agree that some folks here likely have put together their own systems too, so I was also hoping to get some inspiration from what folks have done and what's…

    And just to add, I also have the justice sensitivity! Because of that, even our other service (ADHD coaching) has all the prices VERY clearly on the home page. It includes the mont…

    A few things top of mind: 1) A big differentiation is the guidance. Indy is based on science-backed frameworks and exercises that set the foundation for and fuel the main scaffoldi…

    I just wanted to clarify, this app is COMPLETELY FREE. There is no cost. The cost you're seeing is for our other product that includes live body doubling (co-working) sessions that…

    I totally hear you that there are so many products in the market that only work for the person who designed them. We designed this with hundreds of beta users (I had 5-6 deep calls…

    sorry that it hasn't been done yet! we generally attend to these pretty quickly. If you sent it to support, it may have been buried. I can look into it though. Can you send an emai…

    Perhaps try to go directly into the app store, I think that copy and the screenshots is a lot more straight forward. Our care team has skewed the landing page to be a bit more of "…
