Cool idea!
My only concern is that I live in Barcelona and I'm wondering how do you deal with foreign numbers. Do I have to pay for an international call?
Also, have you considered other ways of recording the 60 seconds?

So currently, we only support numbers within the US and Canada. While there are plans to expand to other countries, it isn't a priority at the moment.
For people living in other countries, we recommend that they purchase a US phone number (which can be done for as little as $1/month through something like iPlum).
And I'm assuming you mean through an app or something else?

I guess creating an app for this might be too much trouble to make a customer stick to the service, it's kind of an entry barrier, but could it be possible to make it using WhatsApp's calls for example?

Exactly - plus, daily notifications get blurred out in the users mind over time. Most people don't want to download yet another app as well.
WhatsApp unfortunately doesn't provide an API - otherwise, that would be a great idea.

Very clever concept. I hope it catches on. I'm a big fan of reminders, journals, dailys-- things we don't really think about, but should.
Things are going okay so far...got about 30 beta signups and now moving into open for public use. Working on getting my first 10 customers.
