# Self-Care Reminder Apps The Aloe App Helps Users Set Up Healthy Reminders for Themselves By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-08-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloe-app References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aloe/aloe-app-gentle-self-care-reminders-from-yourself) & [aloe.club](https://aloe.club/founders-garden.html) The 'Aloe' app is currently crowdfunding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindbud) in the hopes of sharing gentle [self-care reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mellow) to the world. As Aloe's creators note, there has been a significant interest in self-care, with "searches for the term [hitting] a five-year high." Aloe breaks self-care down into three parts: physical, mental and emotional health with an easy-to-use three-screen interface. The app gives users the chance to set up reminders, check-ins and even [daily motivations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspirely) for the ongoing upkeep of their well-being. With the app, users are prompted to answer questions like "Who is one person who makes you happy?" and “What is one thing you’ll do for yourself tomorrow?" Another component of the app are Aloe's Community Support Gardens, which allow users to send virtual flowers to one another, as well as tend to one another's gardens and foster a greater sense of positivity, encouragement and connection with others who are committed to bettering themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-care Reminder Apps:** Apps that offer self-care reminders and emotional support are becoming increasingly popular. - **Wellness Technology:** There is a growing trend in the development of technology that is focused on helping individuals maintain and improve their health and well-being. - **Crowdfunding for Self-care:** Crowdfunding is increasingly being used as a means of bringing self-care products and services to market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** There is an opportunity for developers to create self-care apps that offer users personalized support and encouragement. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can benefit from incorporating technology solutions, such as self-care reminder apps, into their offerings. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms can support the growth of the self-care industry by providing opportunities for innovative products and services to receive funding and go to market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant Care Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaffy.md) - [Daily Affirmation Phone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avra-core.md) - [Daily Affirmation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-love-daily-affirmations.md) - [Motivating Journaling Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindup.md) - [Personal Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-ago.md) - [Emotional Self-Care Journal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anger-management-journal-app.md) - [Healthful Mood Journal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentalio-app.md) - [Spiritual Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-app.md) - [AI Plant Care Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homegardenai.md)
