Timeline: 6 months

1. Project Overview

SteadyMind started with a bold mission: to combat the global attention crisis caused by dopamine-heavy digital content. Their goal? To offer a structured, research-backed solution that strengthens users’ cognitive focus through intentional mental exercises — without relying on addictive screens or gamification gimmicks.

They needed a platform that could deliver a clean, calming experience, support paper-and-digital workflows, and scale to serve individuals, families, and organizations alike. To make that happen, they chose Fynest.

2. Why SteadyMind Chose Fynest: A Thoughtful, End-to-End Tech Partner

SteadyMind was not just building another productivity app — they were pioneering a category. That meant they needed more than developers; they needed a team that understood design clarity, human-centered UX, and deep product thinking. Fynest was selected because of our ability to:

  • Translate scientific frameworks into intuitive digital workflows.
  • Build robust front- and back-end systems for hybrid content delivery (paper + digital).
  • Deep UX/UI expertise tailored for complex workflows.
  • Deliver calm, distraction-free UX tailored to mental focus and clarity.
  • Operate as strategic collaborators, not just executors.

Together, we crafted a product experience that felt as intentional as the exercises it delivered.

3. The Challenge: Attention is Fractured — and Most Apps Make It Worse

Before SteadyMind, most “focus” solutions were ironically screen-heavy — apps with endless pings, shiny animations, and game-like rewards. SteadyMind faced three key obstacles:

  • Content Consumption Overload: Users were overstimulated by TikTok-style content, making deep attention harder than ever
  • Lack of Practical Tools: There were few structured, science-backed tools available to the average person looking to train their focus.
  • Poor UX for Cognitive Work: Existing apps were either clinical and outdated, or hyperactive and counterproductive.

SteadyMind aimed to be different: evidence-based, paper-inclusive, and calming by design.

4. The Solution: A Calming, Science-Backed Platform to Train Attention

Fynest helped SteadyMind build a platform that’s both practical and deeply intentional:

  • 100+ Structured Exercises: Activities like Color Counting, Reverse Word Recall, and Pattern Detection designed to target specific neural systems.SteadyMind Image 2
  • Hybrid Paper + Digital Flow: Users perform the exercise on paper, then score themselves digitally — removing distractions while enabling tracking.SteadyMind Image 3
  • Personalized Progress Tracking: AI-powered scoring adapts to each user’s cognitive level and reveals long-term trends.SteadyMind Image 4
  • Multi-Plan Access: Families, individuals, and organizations can each access tailored dashboards and reporting.SteadyMind Image 5
  • Clean, Minimalist UX: A smooth, screen-light interface that supports attention instead of draining it.SteadyMind Image 6

5. How Fynest Delivered SteadyMind: A Tailored, End-to-End Development Journey

Our collaboration with SteadyMind was anchored around an agile, user-centric approach. Key milestones in the project included:

a. Cognitive Product Strategy & ArchitectureWe worked closely with SteadyMind’s neuroscience and behavioral experts to translate cognitive goals into technical architecture — ensuring the platform supported a variety of task types (e.g. counting, reverse recall, pattern matching) while remaining lightweight and distraction-free.

b. Thoughtful UI/UX for Cognitive EaseOur design team created an interface that visually supported mental clarity — low-stimulus, elegant, and distraction-minimized. Paper-based prompts were paired with digital scoring flows that users could engage with at their own pace.

c. Iterative Agile DevelopmentWe prioritized core functionalities, delivering incremental updates in bi-weekly sprints. This allowed SteadyMind to test and refine features like AI-powered filtering, intelligent ranking, and visual presentations in real time.

d. Rigorous QA and User TestingBefore launch, Fynest implemented comprehensive QA protocols - from automated testing to hands-on user acceptance testing - ensuring a polished, reliable platform ready for scale.

e. Post-Launch OptimizationFollowing the MVP launch, we continued refining based on early user feedback, introducing enhancements that made SteadyMind even more intuitive and powerful.

Throughout every stage, Fynest’s commitment to speed, transparency, and excellence helped SteadyMind move from concept to reality with confidence.

6. Technologies We Used

7. The Result: A New Category of Digital Tool for Focus Training

Since Beta launch, SteadyMind has seen rapid traction among educators, parents, and self-improvement communities

  • Highly Engaged Users: Over 200+ sessions completed within the first 2 weeks of beta.
  • Breakthrough in User Experience: 95% of beta testers reported that the hybrid format helped them focus better than traditional apps.
  • Potential Institutional Interest: Schools, coaching centers, and sports teams have shown interests and are open to exploring group onboarding.
  • Strong Retention: Early cohorts showed 4x higher weekly retention compared to average wellness apps — a sign the model is working.

More than just a successful project, Propfindy stands as a testament to how the right partnership can turn bold ideas into transformative products — and why founders trust Fynest to bring their visions to life.

Kimie, an early beta tester has given feedback:

“SteadyMind is not just another app. It’s a tool I come back to daily — it helps me feel sharper, calmer, and more in control.”
