Habit tracking, mood journaling, guided programs, and subscriptions — your Calm competitor, shipped fast.
Why Wellness App development is hard to get right
Wellness apps live or die on retention — streak mechanics and push notification strategy are core product, not afterthoughts
Apple Health and Google Fit integrations require native modules — most freelancers skip them
Subscription conversion in wellness is 3–8% — paywall placement and trial length matter enormously
Content delivery (audio, video) needs CDN and offline caching — not just YouTube embeds
