AstroMind Evolves—Hello, InJoy!
AstroMind Evolves—Hello, InJoy!
A few months ago, I released AstroMind, a little side project that asks quick personality questions and then hands you daily insights. I figured it would be a nice, low‑key way to share mental‑health tips.
Here’s what happened:
- 2,000 people found the app on their own.
- Together, they’ve answered 120,000+ questions.
- 40 folks liked it enough to pay for the premium stuff.
So engagement? High.
Conversions? Low.
Churn? High.
When I talked to users, the pattern was clear: The questions are fun. They keep tapping Next. The insights? They skim them, sometimes skip them.
Even the paying users said that.
What now?
If people enjoy doing the quizzes more than reading the insights, why not keep the good part and drop the boring part? Instead of telling you what might help, the app will guide you to do something tiny that helps today.
A daily To‑Do list
Think of it as a tiny checklist that pops up the second you open the app. Each task is science‑backed, super short, and actually doable—things like:
- Two‑word gratitude (“warm sun,” “good coffee”)
- A 60‑second breath reset
- A quick stretch or a peek outside
How it works
- The questions stay free (because they’re half the fun).
- The paid tier becomes the personalized daily To‑Do list. It’s free for the first four days; if users like it, they can subscribe.
- Users tick items off, build streaks, and watch their good‑habit counter climb—the habit of taking small steps every day for personal development. Once you get used to it, you’ll build a growth mindset and keep growing.
Simple but useful!
Why a To‑Do instead of insights?
- Doing beats reading. Little actions stick way better than another inspirational quote.
- Tiny adds up. Five micro‑tasks a day can snowball into real habits.
- Zero friction. Open the app → see the checklist → feel good.
And we keep the part users already love: interesting personality questions and the fact that everything is personalized just for them.
What’s next (and how you can help)
- I’ll post sample To‑Do lists on social and see what people say.
- I’m emailing 50 of our most active users for blunt feedback.
- If things look promising, I’ll build a quick beta and track what actually happens.
If you have thoughts, ideas, or “wouldn’t‑it‑be‑cool‑ifs,” hit me up. Your fingerprints on this project would mean a lot.
One more tweak: the name
“AstroMind” keeps confusing folks (no, it’s not astrology). I’m thinking of calling the new version InJoy—short, friendly, and on point.
Small steps, more joy. Thanks for reading and being part of the story.
