    We raised our Seed! Which means we can keep working 16 hours a day for our little monster for much longer. In a couple of months -- Momo has helped users complete 2M+ self-care habits, and our retention only keeps improving. This is just the start. Thank you, @DominicMadori,

    Update ~ 9 days after 1 million quests completed -- to read for one hour, to go on a walk, to call parents, to drink more water, to spend less time on brainrot, to sing, to pray, to play. 1 million things to make our users healthier, happier, and more productive. D1/ D7

    We’re still in stealth -- but here’s a sneak peek at what we’ve been building, through the words of our first 10k users, since beta launch in July. @Egehanzsoy and I have built apps for three years together -- but we're particularly excited to swing BIG with this one. And build
