Feature #1
Wake-up support
People struggled with consistency—snoozing alarms, feeling isolated, and lacking motivation.

We created a daily buddy system that shuffles partners every morning, offering mutual wake-up support. It builds consistency, reduces snoozing, and helps members form deeper, motivating connections within the community.

Feature #2
Find your tribe
People wanted to meet like-minded locals but couldn’t easily find or connect with them.
We built a dynamic 5AM Network with filters by location and interests. It helps members discover like-minded people, encourages real-life meetups, and strengthens bonds across the broader 5AM community.
Feature #3
Bharma Coins
Many lost motivation without visible progress or rewards, making it harder to stay consistent and engaged.
We introduced Bharma Coins—earned by waking up daily. They track consistency, unlock rewards, and boost motivation. This gamified system keeps members engaged and excited to show up every morning.
Feature #4
AI alarm
Many found alarms dull and uninspiring, making it harder to wake up energized or start the day with purpose.
We created a personalized AI alarm that greets members with curated 1-minute bites—like Zen stories, Gita wisdom, or fun facts—turning each wake-up into an inspiring, energizing start to the day.

Positive feedback
and future requests
After an early version of the app, I invited users to test the interface and share feedback. Many didn’t realize certain icons were clickable, others pointed out issues with text balance and inconsistent visuals. I used this feedback to do more iteration.
