We tried recreating a popular mental health app without any coding

Here’s what happened

We did it in just 12 hours!

Here’s how it started.

We wanted to try and see how long it would take us to recreate the functionality of a commercially successful mental health app in the market.

We looked at the top mental health apps in the app stores and decided to recreate one that is popular and has scientific evidence to support its claims.

The mental health app we chose focuses on meditation and mindfulness and has 70 million users in over 190 countries. It is easily one of the world’s most prominent digital health solutions.

During our research, we found that the chosen app has four key features that really enable users to transform their habits and improve their mental health. They are:

• onboarding
• regular check-ins
• gamification
• reminders

These features work together to create a hyper-personalized and engaging experience for the app’s users. So, we decided that these were the features we had to replicate.

But first, we needed a name. Cogspace.

Next, we needed a no-code digital health platform. Cogniss.

Then, it was time to create!

Watch the video below to see the creation process from start to finish.
