Misu

I’ve been using Misu for a while now, and it’s been SUPER enlightening in terms of which apps / websites have most positively or negatively impacted my mood. As someone who, as an experiment, tracked every second of how I was spending 3 months of my life and then made some behavioral changes - can say what is measured does actually get managed. I’m excited to see how I can better effectively manage and gain some awareness around my mood / emotions that are usually so transient and fleeting and hard to introspect objectively on in that moment. Plus - really well designed app, beautiful (and intuitive) interface. Extremely easy to use. Overall amazing product and love the story behind the founder as well! <3

Hey Product Hunt, I made Misü after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and struggling with anxiety, depression and mania. Psych ward visits suck. My psychiatrist and therapists recommended I track my mood. Seeing how our fitness and many other parts of our lives were being automatically tracked, I dreamed one day there’d be automatic mood trackers. 5 years later, we have Misü. Having tracked my mood daily for +3 years, it has played a big role in helping me emotionally flourish. I plan to keep up the habit and excited to be building Misü for others who want to invest in their mental health. Happy to answer questions about the technology, privacy, our mission (where Misü is headed), and my personal journey with my mental health.

Been using Misu for a few months. + responsive founding team, early stage, so input gets implemented + data data data — makes it easy to correlate rough days on a quantified basis (e.g. full day of meetings is a big downer for me, and the opposite creates opposite effect) Like RescueTime (in that it tracks all laptop usage) but with added layer of being able to correlate mood with app/site usage. Like Fitbit tracking sleep/fitness, but for mood. Great for data junkies, quantified self lovers, or those interested in a tool to empower mental health.

As a society we need to build much more awareness around our mental health. I think these kind of products will be absolutely critical for this. Also, very sleek design, and I appreciate that the team cares about clarifying how the data is being used. Already thinking of how we could apply the insights to detect that we’re actually happier after Zooming with friends vs. watching Netflix! Very excited to see where Misü goes from there, and congrats to @applecider_ the origin story is very inspiring :)

Hey guys, started using this today. One of the questions you have asked is regarding what would build more trust in the product? For that I would like to understand your business model. How will you be using the data that's gathered. This would provide more trust in you guys and also I don't have to assume the worse.

I shared that with the developer as well. I love the idea. But you give access to all your data including photo snapshots. It is hosted on S3 and it is not clear how data is processed and who has access. I think this will be a tough one to solve for this product.

For a product that needs access to your camera and computer usage - Trust is key. I trust Dan and the Misu team to be working on a product with the mental health of all users at the forefront. He has proven countless times his dedication and priorities (through starting the Future of Wellness Policy Community, as a peer, and as a founder) and I believe that the benefits of trusting Misu are well worth it. I built a life management tool 3 years ago using Airtable and the missing element has always been, “how am I feeling”. Misu solves that - and as it develops has the most direct potential to provide insight on my mood as it relates to more than just web browsing. I’m excited for Misu to be a part of the ecosystem of applications that together help users understand their own life.
