Therma.one VS GitHub Surf

Therma.one's answer

Most wellness apps live in their own bubble: mood tracking here, sleep tracking there, journaling somewhere else. Therma sits next to Apple Health and adds the one thing health data can't capture on its own: how you actually felt while it was happening.

One check-in a day. A companion that listens. A Sunday card showing what shifted. That's the whole product. Not a 50-feature wellness platform, not a meditation library, not a therapy replacement. Just the emotional layer your health stack is missing.

Therma.one's answer

Daylio gives you mood charts. Reflectly gives you AI journaling. Youper gives you CBT exercises. None of them connect to the rest of your health data, and most ask for more than 30 seconds a day.

Therma works the other way around. One question a day, low pressure, no streaks shaming you. Mood lives next to sleep, activity, and heart data inside Apple Health, so patterns surface without you hunting for them. And the weekly card does what most apps make you do yourself: tell you what's actually changing.

It's also priced for the long haul. Founding member pricing locks in $39.99/year for life for the first 10,000 subscribers.

Therma.one's answer

People who suppress to perform.

Founders, operators, parents, athletes: anyone whose job depends on functioning through their feelings. They're already tracking their sleep, their workouts, their resting heart rate. They've got the body data covered. What they don't have is a way to see how the inside lines up with the outside, and a quiet space to feel what they're actually feeling without it becoming another performance metric.

Therma is for the moment when suppression stops working. Before burnout, before the relationship cracks, before the body forces the issue.

Therma.one's answer

Therma started from a personal pattern. I'd built businesses, performed on stages, hit physical goals, and the one thing I was worst at was knowing how I actually felt in real time. By the time something registered, I was usually three weeks past the moment that mattered.

Most wellness apps I tried felt clinical, gamified, or built for someone with more time and less ambivalence than I had. The founders, operators, and high-performers around me were running into the same wall.

Therma is the app I wanted: 30 seconds a day, no clinical register, synced with the health data I was already tracking, with a Sunday card that tells me what I missed. Tagline is "feel it to free it." That's the whole philosophy.
