fullcircle • A Mindful Dating App with Community Events & Self-Growth (TestFlight Available!)

Hey dev community! 👋

I'm excited to share fullcircle™ - a dating app I've been building for people who practice meditation, yoga, energy healing, and embrace mindful living. Think of it as the anti-swipe app for conscious souls seeking genuine connections.

🔮 What Makes fullcircle Different?

Unlike mainstream dating apps that are just about matching, fullcircle combines dating with community and self-growth.

🧘‍♀️ The Sanctuary - The Main Feature

This is what sets it apart. The Sanctuary is a dedicated space for:

  • Spiritual Events: Meditation circles, sound baths, breathwork sessions
  • Community Gatherings: Yoga circles, healing workshops, conscious community meetups
  • Retreats: Weekend getaways and extended spiritual retreats
  • Growth Practices: Group meditation, energy healing sessions

It's not just about finding a partner - it's about connecting with a community that shares your journey.

✨ Core Features

Mindful Matching

Match based on spiritual compatibility - meditation practices, yoga styles, healing modalities (Reiki, acupuncture, sound healing), and shared values.

Personal Growth Tracking

  • Track your meditation practice
  • Daily affirmations
  • Breathwork sessions

Unique Onboarding

Users complete a spiritual profile exploring their:

  • Spiritual draws and practices
  • Healing modalities
  • Connection intentions (dating, friendship, or both)
  • Personal growth areas

🎯 Why I Built This

When someone goes through life-changing experiences and starts their healing journey, it's incredibly hard to find like-minded people who understand that path. The dating app space is dominated by superficial swiping, but I wanted to create a space where:

  1. Your healing journey and spiritual practices actually matter
  2. You can connect with others on similar paths of self-growth
  3. You find people who understand what it means to live consciously
  4. Personal growth, healing, and dating aren't separate - they happen together

The Sanctuary brings the conscious community together, whether you're looking for a partner who gets your journey, meditation buddies, or just want to attend a sound bath with like-minded souls.

🛠️ Tech Stack

🙏 Looking for Feedback

As a solo dev (and actor on the side!), I'd love feedback from the community on:

  • Technical architecture (Firebase backend operations via Context API)
  • UX/UI for spiritual/mindful apps
  • Features you'd want to see in a mindful dating + community app

📱 Coming Soon

Launching on iOS and Android within weeks. The app is already deployed on TestFlight, and I'm finalizing the app store submissions.
