Bringing our mental-health app to life with Rive

Thrive is a mental-health companion app we built with Monash University — and for an app people open on hard days, warmth isn't a nice-to-have, it's the product. Static screens couldn't carry that feeling, so we reached for Rive.

Rive lets us ship real-time, interactive animation that responds to state — a character that reacts, transitions that breathe — at a fraction of the file size of video or Lottie. The result is an app that feels alive and calm instead of clinical.
