Inspiration

I’ve always been fascinated by how much our mindset shapes our relationship with money. While exploring manifestation communities and personal growth tools, I noticed a gap: most resources were either too abstract or too “get rich quick.” I wanted something practical, supportive, and gamified — a tool that helps people build a sustainable abundance mindset, step by step. That’s where Eclis was born.

What it does

Eclis is a daily companion for cultivating financial confidence and abundance thinking. It offers:

  • AI-powered chats to gently shift limiting beliefs.
  • Daily rituals and affirmations to reinforce money-positive habits.
  • 28-day gamified growth plans with tasks and progress tracking.
  • Visual analytics to track mindset evolution over time.

The app doesn’t promise instant wealth — instead, it focuses on daily micro-shifts that build long-term resilience and a healthier relationship with money.

How we built it

  • iOS app written in Swift with SwiftUI for UI.
  • RevenueCat for subscription management.
  • Cloudflare Workers for backend.
  • OpenAI APIs for AI-guided conversation features.
  • Local-first JSON manifests for affirmations and rituals (multi-language support in EN/DE/TR).

Challenges we ran into

  • Balancing spiritual themes with practical app design — avoiding overpromising results while keeping the experience inspiring.
  • Optimizing AI costs for text features so users get value without breaking the budget.
  • Building offline-first support so users can still access rituals and affirmations without internet.
  • Designing UI that feels nurturing and mystical, while also clean and modern.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Shipped a polished iOS app in time for Shipathon.
  • Built a structured 28-day program that feels both fun and actionable.
  • Created a design system with consistent cosmic/abundance visuals across tasks and analytics.
  • Learned how to combine gamification, AI, and spiritual growth tools into a cohesive product.

What we learned

  • Community feedback is essential — real people helped shape which features resonated most.
  • Clear boundaries around language (“shift your mindset” vs “get rich quick”) matter a lot when building responsibly.
  • Monetization can be ethical — offering generous free features alongside premium content builds trust.
  • Multi-language support is key — abundance is universal, not limited to English-speaking users.

What's next for Eclis – Manifest Abundance

  • Launch Android version with feature parity.
  • Expand the pool of affirmations and rituals in more languages.
  • Add voice-guided rituals with better TTS caching to keep audio costs manageable.
  • Introduce a Vision Board feature to let users visualize and organize their goals in one place.
