@jamesbrunts thank you thank you! This is our very first app and we are having so much fun building!

[Yitong Wang @DesignOnTheWave]

@HeyAliux Nown, it means own your now. It's a app to help ppl focus more on their present moment. :)

@Jice_Lavocat @the1danielkim @getnoise I used Screen Studio! It was also my first time but very easy to get hands on. Give the a try :)

[Yitong Wang @DesignOnTheWave]

First step to be featured on time square!

[Daniel @the1danielkim]

Nown made its first $$! Very rewarding to get our first validation that maybe we’re doing something right, after silently building and questioning ourselves for awhile. That is what #buildinpublic is all about. Excited to try out @getnoise platform.

@brieanna_jade @the1danielkim Thank you! We’re here to bring a bit of peace to a busy world. 🧘

Another look at our onboarding for Nown. For us, onboarding is a really meaningful and unique moment to tell our personal story and welcome you to join in on the journey. #buildinpublic #shipaton

@sanketdattta @the1danielkim Thank you for noticing! It was really a fun ah-ha moment for us when designing this onboarding too.

[Yitong Wang @DesignOnTheWave]

It was so much fun and also so tough building for this onboarding! We had many iterations and I'm sure many more to come.

What I love about this is how personal it feels, starting with the founders note sharing our stories, and giving users a chance to interact with some key features.

By the time you get to the sign up, I hope you get to really understand why this app is solving your problem, feeling hopeful and relieved that you found a mindful tool & community that you've long missed.

@getnoise Here's our onboarding for Nown! A new take on digital wellness that I'm co-creating with my partner @DesignOnTheWave for #shipaton. Not only did we want to help the user get set up, but we decided to start off with a founder's note to share our story and ethos behind the app.

Building at #Shipaton 2026!

Onboarding for Nown.

An app that let you and your friend to stay offline, ambiently together.

[Yitong Wang @DesignOnTheWave]

#shipaton

Building Nown's (digital wellness app) onboarding was so challenging. We explored countless iterations and different ways of storytelling before we found something that truly resonated with us.

Instead of guilt, we wanted users to feel three things:

- Seen: someone actually understands your struggle.

- Relieved: Phone addiction this isn’t your fault. It’s how most apps are programmed.

- Belonging: you’re not alone. There’s an entire community of people choosing presence offline. And that’s inspiring.

@LucaCaponeX @the1danielkim @Shipaton @RevenueCat Love to check out what you’re building. We’ve tried multiple couple apps when we are doing long distance haha. Each of them are so unique!

[Yitong Wang @DesignOnTheWave]

Online scrolling is the norm right now.

"But what if offline becomes the new norm?"

We're a designer and developer couple who realized the best solution isn't an screen time app that blocks you, it's the social part of seeing your friends put their phones down and feel inspired to join them together.

So we made nown, sign up to be notified for our release this month: https://t.co/9BXs47qxnr
