March 12, 2026

We’ve made connection feel even more connected. • You can now like and reply to comments - making conversations feel more natural and layered • See friends of friends to discover people you already have context with • Smoother friend search and requests • Fixed an issue where signing in with “Hide My Email” could block access to the app; these users can now complete sign-up and log in as expected. Small changes. Deeper connection.

That’s great to hear! I’m glad it is becoming part of your daily routine. It can help so much to pause for a minute or two in the morning! Thanks for being a part of OpenUp! - Dan

Time to Relfect!

I have loved using OpenUp! As someone who loves journaling but doesn’t have a lot of time, OpenUp is my time to really reflect with one meaningful question. I can do it anywhere at anytime!

Thank you for sharing this. I love hearing that OpenUp fits alongside your journaling practice and gives you a quick moment to reflect even on busy days. The idea of one meaningful question a day was meant to create exactly that kind of small pause that you can come back to anywhere, anytime. Really glad it has been useful for you and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. - Dan

Joined bc my friend asked me to, stayed because it’s like quick time journaling

I love everything about the app! I really enjoy checking in just a couple times a day. Because it’s so simple, I’m not brain rotting or wasting time. I’m also enjoying the more concentrated circle of friends— the ones I feel comfortable sharing these things with. It makes for a manageable timeline, unlike big social media apps. I’ve learned about my friends and have felt more connected to them from a distance, for sure. These are just things that don’t really come up to ask about, and it’s fun to do like a teaspoon of journaling with your buddies. My FAVORITE prompts are the kind of silly ones, though, like “what color are you today?”

This made me smile, especially “a teaspoon of journaling with your buddies.” That’s such a perfect way to describe it. We intentionally kept OpenUp simple so it feels grounding, not overwhelming! Just a small, meaningful pause in the day with people you trust. And I’m very happy to hear the silly prompts are a favorite… we think those often open the door to the best conversations. - Dan

Love this daily routine!

OpenUp has been such a fun and meaningful way to connect with friends!! So often we get caught up in our day to day lives that we don’t get a chance to have deep and meaningful conversations. This app has provided such a unique way to see into other peoples lives. It really makes you stop and reflect on your own life as well as others.
I have loved adding this into my daily routine and look forward to see how my friends respond to the daily prompt.

Reading this genuinely made my day, thank you! So many of us want deeper conversations but don’t always know how to create the space for them. That’s exactly why OpenUp exists. I’m really grateful you’re here and part of this early community. — Dan
