I built QuiLie - an app that tracks how often you're actually being yourself

I'm Abhay, a solo developer from India.

Something I've noticed for a long time - people are almost never fully themselves around others. Around their boss they shrink. Around family they perform. Around friends they wear a different mask entirely. It's not lying. It's just the version of yourself that feels safe in that room.

I got tired of noticing it and not having anything to do about it. So I built something.

QuiLie tracks your authenticity over time. You log moments - real or masked - and your score builds. An AI coach reads what you logged and reflects one quiet observation back. No advice. No lecture. You pick the tone - gentle, direct, or dry. There are 5 masks most of us wear without realizing it. Naming them turns out to be the first step to putting them down.

My own score right now is 10%. Apparently I'm The Invisible One.

The app is live - quilie.life and app.quilie.life. Android APK available, works in any browser on iPhone too. Razorpay is live for Indian users. International payments via Paddle are pending approval which is taking longer than expected, so that's the current constraint for international users.

3 day free trial, no card needed.

I'm posting here because this community understands what it means to build something from scratch and put it out into the world. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback - on the concept, the positioning, anything that feels off.

    The thing I'd be careful with is that QuiLie may be solving one problem while describing itself through another.

    People can find the idea interesting, agree with it, and even enjoy the self-reflection without that automatically creating a reason to come back or pay.

    The useful decision here feels less like product design and more like deciding what outcome the product should ultimately own.

    I wouldn't make that call casually in-thread because it tends to affect positioning, retention, and conversion at the same time.
