Summary
Hayley is a new thinking companion app launched on Product Hunt that allows users to speak freely for 60 seconds without prompts or structure. The app then reflects back three things: an insight about what the user is really saying, a pattern detected across sessions, and a thought-provoking question. Built by a founder who sold his last company, Hayley is positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to journaling or therapy — using on-device transcription so nothing leaves the phone. It offers a 14-day free trial and is categorized under Productivity, AI, and Health.
