Juno growth playbook

Diagnosis

Juno is a five-person Y Combinator company with a well-rated app (4.8 from about 10,800 App Store ratings) and an unusually rich website for its size: 24 condition guides, 53 articles, 12 worksheets, free browser tools and comparison pages. Its hiring is all about short-form video, creators and the app itself.

The gap is the handoff: the free tools throw away the visitor's result when the tab closes, the download page offers desktop visitors nothing to scan, blog articles link only to the App Store, and the site quotes four different user numbers.

This playbook fixes the handoff first (idea 1), then localizes the guides into the languages the app already speaks, makes Pro pricing and discounts self-serve, turns the doctor report and embeddable tools into distribution, and sets up longer bets on clinician sharing, records import and research.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the site's free tools, guides and doctor report into a measured path into the app, in every language the app already supports.

Biggest Risk

Bearable, Visible and Guava compete for the same patients with larger bases or deeper features, and health content and health data raise the bar for medical review and privacy at every step.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Juno's free tools do the hard part of the pitch: a visitor rates their energy, adds sleep and heart-rate data and sees a spoon budget and a crash-risk flag, or times a 10-minute standing test against doctors' thresholds. Then the page says the plan "isn't saved or sent anywhere" and is lost when it closes; the only exports are copy or print. The call to action, "Let Juno do the counting", is just two store badges, and the download page shows nothing a desktop visitor can scan. Someone who just did the work in the browser has to start again from zero in the app.

    Smallest test

    Add the button to the spoon calculator only and compare installs for two weeks.

    Why it works

    Add a "Continue in Juno" button to the spoon calculator and the standing test. It builds a link that carries the result itself (energy rating, activities, readings and date) in the link, so nothing is stored on Juno's servers and the "nothing is stored or sent" promise still holds until the person chooses to save in the app. On phones the link opens the app, or the store and then the app on first launch, with the plan or standing-test log pre-filled as day one of their history. On desktop it shows a QR code of the same link. Do the same for the embedded versions on clinic and charity sites, then measure installs per tool.

    The visitor has already invested effort and seen value; carrying that work into the app removes the blank-screen moment at first launch and gives their history a starting point. It also lets Juno measure, for the first time, which tools and pages produce users.

    ChecklistTool handoff launch list

    [ ] "Continue in Juno" button on the spoon calculator
    [ ] Same button on the standing test
    [ ] Result carried in the link, not stored on the server
    [ ] First-launch screen shows the plan as day one
    [ ] QR code on desktop
    [ ] Button in the embedded tools
    [ ] Tracking: completion, link open, install, day-7 return

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Visitors worry their health data is being collected

      Keep the data in the link, say so on the button, and only store it after they tap save in the app.

    • Deep links break on some devices

      Fall back to a short code they can type in the app.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteSpoon Calculator: turns an energy rating, sleep, HRV and resting heart rate into a spoon budget and flags crash risk; the plan "isn't saved or sent anywhere", nothing is "stored or sent to Juno", there is no account and the plan is lost when the page closes, with "Copy or print it" as the only export; the closing CTA "Let Juno do the counting" shows only the two store badges.Source
    • Your websitePoor man's tilt table test: a standing-test timer and heart-rate log that "reports your numbers against" doctors' thresholds; "nothing is stored or sent to Juno" and results can only be printed or copied; the app pitch reads "Want a record over weeks, not one morning?" with store badges, plus an "Add this tool to your website" embed offer.Source
    • Your websiteDownload page /get: shows "Getting Juno…" and "If nothing happens, choose your store:" with an App Store and a Google Play badge only; no QR code, no send-me-a-link option and no web version for desktop visitors.

  • 02

    The homepage meta description, which Google and link previews show, says "Rated 4.8 by 10,000+ users", which is really the App Store ratings count. The hero says "350k happy users", condition guides say "300,000+", the FAQ says the community is "more than 100,000", and the Y Combinator launch post said 80,000. The first number most searchers see is the smallest one.

    Smallest test

    Change the homepage description today.

    Why it works

    Pick one dated, defensible number for users (and say what it counts: downloads, accounts or monthly users), use it in the meta description, hero, condition guides and FAQ, and keep the ratings figure separate ("4.8 from 10,000+ App Store ratings"). Put both in one config so every page updates together.

    A large, consistent number lifts click-through from search and stops careful readers, journalists and partners from doubting the claim.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Overstating users

      Say exactly what the number counts and date it.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteHomepage (checked November 9, 2026): H1 "Your personal health assistant for chronic illness"; hero shows "4.8 App Store" and "350k happy users", while the meta description that search results show says "Rated 4.8 by 10,000+ users"; "Always free" plan with symptom tracking, pacing, insights, doctor reports and community, a monthly limit on free chats and Pro for unlimited chats and "Enhanced memory"; main CTA "Download Juno" goes to /get; no email signup; English only.Source
    • Your websitePOTS guide (last updated September 4, 2026): "Loved by 300,000+ people" and "Join a community of 300,000+"; none of its eight review excerpts mention POTS; social proof cites a TikTok account with 350K followers and Instagram with 117K; CTAs are store badges and a free symptom tracker; English only, no hreflang.Source
    • Your websiteFAQ: free covers symptom tracking, pacing, insights, doctor reports and community, with limited AI chat; Pro adds unlimited chat and enhanced memory; the price "varies by region; check the app"; reduced pricing for students, carers and people on disability support requires contacting the company to apply; the community is "more than 100,000 people"; doctors receive reports by email or printed PDF and direct doctor access is "not yet available"; an initial evaluation involved 36 doctors; 20+ wearable integrations; iOS and Android, no web version.Source
    • Y Combinator profileSpring 2026 batch, founded 2025, team of 5, based in London; "an AI personal health assistant for the 1B+ people living with chronic illness" with "300,000+" patients, while its earlier launch post cited 80,000 users.Source
  • 03

    Every "Download Juno" button, and the example report's "Create your report with Juno", goes to /get, which on a laptop shows only two store badges. The site works well on desktop (a PageSpeed score of 100), and people reading a five-page sample report or a long guide are often on a computer, but there is no way to move to the phone in one step.

    Smallest test

    Add the QR code to /get today and count scans for a week.

    Why it works

    On wide screens, show a QR code on /get that opens the right store on the phone, with a line such as "Scan with your phone camera". Use a separate tracked link for the QR so desktop-originated installs can be counted, and reuse it on the example report and the condition guides.

    A QR code turns a dead end into a two-second handoff, and the tracking shows how much of Juno's content audience reads on desktop.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Few scans

      Add the QR to printed worksheets too.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteDownload page /get: shows "Getting Juno…" and "If nothing happens, choose your store:" with an App Store and a Google Play badge only; no QR code, no send-me-a-link option and no web version for desktop visitors.

    • Your websiteExample report: a 5-page fictional doctor report (appointment summary, symptom grid, medications and adherence, daily logs) with "Download the PDF" and "Read as text"; it says "The report supports that conversation; it does not establish a diagnosis."; the only path to make one is "Create your report with Juno", which goes to the store-choice page.Source
    • PageSpeedGoogle PageSpeed (homepage, November 10, 2026): real visitors pass Core Web Vitals (LCP 1.0s, INP 82 ms, CLS 0); the lab phone test scores 75 (desktop 100) with LCP 5.6s on the hero clouds image; fonts are 779 KB of a 1,235 KB page; render-blocking requests cost about 0.35s.Source

    It recovers Android readers who already wanted the app, at almost no cost.

    Juno's FAQ offers reduced pricing for students, carers and people on disability support, but the only way to get it is to contact the company. For people managing energy-limiting illness, writing an email and waiting is exactly the kind of effort they skip.

    Replace the email request with a form that grants the reduced plan the same day.

    Why it works

    Add a "Reduced price" option on the Pro screen and the FAQ: the user picks the reason, confirms a simple honesty statement, and gets the reduced plan through the store's offer features straight away. Review a sample later rather than gatekeeping every request. Track uptake and retention against full-price Pro.

    Removing the request step turns an existing offer into paying users who are otherwise lost, and it matches the mission the team states on every page.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Swap the packages for a recap paragraph today.

    Why it works

    Replace the sponsor page with a short recap: what was discussed, photos with consent, attendee quotes, and a "Tell me about the next one" link for sponsors and attendees. Link it from the media page alongside a press contact.

    It keeps the page's search value, gives future sponsors proof the format works, and removes an out-of-date offer.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Privacy of attendees

      Publish names and images only with consent.

    The Juno app is available in English plus 13 languages, and the latest release added Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. The website, which carries all of the acquisition content (24 condition guides, 53 articles, worksheets and tools), is English only, with no hreflang. Guava already advertises 20+ languages. A Spanish or German speaker searching for a POTS or lupus tracker never finds Juno in their language.

    Translate one condition guide into one language and watch search impressions for six weeks.

    Why it works

    Pick the two or three app languages with the most installs outside English-speaking markets. Translate the five strongest condition guides, the spoon calculator and the homepage into each, with native-speaker clinical review, hreflang tags and store links that open the localized listing. Add localized worksheets next if they convert.

    Juno has already paid the cost of localizing the product; the website is the missing half. Non-English chronic illness searches have far fewer specialist results to compete with.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Simplify to two or three live Pro plans (for example monthly and yearly), retire the leftover store products, and show the local price on the homepage plan table and FAQ, with a note that the free plan stays free. Add a one-line comparison of what free and Pro include.

    A clear price builds trust with cautious buyers, cuts confusion between store listings and makes the free plan more credible.

    Why it works

    Give each content theme (pacing, appointments, flares, a given condition guide) its own tracked link that lands on the matching guide or tool with the handoff button from idea 1. Put the link in bios and pinned comments, rotate it with the week's topic, and report installs per theme every week so the next week's scripts follow what converts.

    It turns a large organic audience into a measured acquisition channel and tells the new hire which hooks to repeat or turn into paid creative.

    Three creators, one brief, two weeks.

    Why it works

    Brief creators who already use Juno to film the week before and after an appointment: logging by voice, the report they printed, and what changed in the conversation with their clinician, shared only with what they choose to show. Use one brief, one hook format and a tracked link per creator, and repost the best clips on Juno's channels.

    A real appointment story shows the product's value in under a minute and speaks to the most common frustration, re-explaining history to every clinician.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Support the Spoon Diary only.

    Why it works

    Add "Snap your worksheet" in the app: the user photographs a filled-in Juno worksheet and Juno reads the dates, spoons, symptoms and notes into their history for them to confirm. Print a small "Snap this page into Juno" line and QR code on every worksheet so paper users have a reason and a route to switch.

    It turns the free paper funnel into an activation path, and the first app session starts with weeks of history rather than an empty screen.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Handwriting misread

      Always show a preview to confirm before saving.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteSpoon Diary worksheet: a free 10-page printable PDF (A4 and US Letter), "no email needed"; under "Prefer not to use paper?" it points to the app, but paper entries cannot be brought into Juno.Source
    • Your websiteSpoon Calculator: turns an energy rating, sleep, HRV and resting heart rate into a spoon budget and flags crash risk; the plan "isn't saved or sent anywhere", nothing is "stored or sent to Juno", there is no account and the plan is lost when the page closes, with "Copy or print it" as the only export; the closing CTA "Let Juno do the counting" shows only the two store badges.Source

    Juno already has comparison pages against Bearable, Guava, Human Health and Visible. Bearable, with 900,000+ members, offers data export, but switching still means leaving months of symptom history behind, which is the strongest reason not to switch. An App Store reviewer also asked for links to other apps such as Guava and Flo.

    Offer a manual CSV import to the next 20 users who say they are switching.

    Why it works

    Build a simple importer for exported files from the most common trackers (starting with whatever format Bearable exports), mapping symptoms, moods and medications onto Juno's timeline. Add a "Bring your history" section and how-to to each comparison page, and test whether imported users stay longer.

    Removing the switching cost turns comparison readers from "interesting" into "I'll move", and imported history makes Juno's patterns and reports useful on day one.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Export formats change

      Support a generic CSV template as the fallback.

    The doctor report is Juno's most concrete payoff, and the example report shows exactly what a good one contains: full coverage ("14 of 14 days recorded"), medication changes and questions "For discussion". Coverage depends on daily check-ins, and the appointment date is the moment users care most about having them.

    Smallest test

    Offer the countdown to users who mention an appointment in chat.

    Why it works

    Ask users to add their next appointment. Juno then counts down in check-ins ("9 days left to fill your report"), nudges gently on missed days, drafts the report and the questions two days before, and asks afterwards what the clinician said so the next report starts from there. Test whether users with an appointment set check in more and convert to Pro more.

    It ties daily tracking to a date the user already cares about, which is a stronger reason to check in than a streak.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Nudges feel like pressure

      Let users choose frequency and skip days without guilt.

    Smallest test

    Run one opt-in survey study in the app and publish the results.

    Why it works

    Launch "Juno Research": users opt in, per study, to share de-identified data or answer short surveys; Juno partners with university teams on questions patients care about (pacing, crashes, appointment outcomes) and publishes results in plain language. Start with one internal study on whether pacing with Juno reduces self-reported crashes.

    Published, peer-reviewed results are the proof clinicians, charities and press need, and taking part gives users a sense of purpose that keeps them engaged.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Trust damage if data use feels broad

      Opt-in per study, de-identified data, clear withdrawal.

    Evidence

    Juno's report covers what the patient logs: symptoms, medications and notes. Guava's main pitch is importing records from patient portals and labs, and Juno itself publishes guides on reading blood tests and high ESR and CRP results. Patients with "normal" tests who still feel ill are a core audience, and the report is stronger when logs and lab results sit side by side.

    Manual lab entry in the report for one month.

    Why it works

    Start simple: let users photograph or upload a lab report, have Juno extract the values with the user confirming each one, and show them in the doctor report next to symptoms on the same dates. Later, connect patient-portal records where standard connections exist. Keep it in Pro if it proves valuable.

    It closes the main feature gap with Guava, deepens the report, and gives users a reason to upgrade.

    Smallest test

    Publish five rare-condition guides and track impressions for six weeks.

    Why it works

    Pick the 30 rare conditions with the most search demand and active patient communities. For each, publish a short, clinician-reviewed guide on what to track and what to bring to appointments, plus a link to search the condition in the app. Do not mass-produce pages; add ten at a time and keep only the ones that earn traffic.

    It turns an impressive but invisible claim into pages people can find, in searches where Juno can rank quickly.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Thin or inaccurate pages

      Small batches, named clinical review, prune weak pages.

    Builds on

    Evidence

    • Your websiteConditions page: says Juno covers 8,869 conditions, with rare-disease names from Orphanet and a "Search conditions" box, but only 24 conditions have their own guide.Source
    • Your websiteSitemap (125 URLs, checked November 9, 2026): 53 blog URLs in five categories, 24 condition guides under /chronic-illness-support, 12 free worksheets, 5 tracker URLs (spoon calculator, Beighton score, HRV by age, poor man's tilt table test), 4 comparison pages (Bearable, Guava, Human Health, Visible), 6 medical advisory board pages, 3 /reviewers pages, a /sponsor page, /voice-study and /example-report; no pages in any language other than English.Source
    • Your websiteBlog article "Why Do I Crash 24 Hours After Activity" (updated October 28, 2026): byline "Published by Juno team" with no named author or medical reviewer, although the site has /reviewers pages and a medical advisory board; the app CTA is "Download Juno on the App Store" only, with no Google Play link; no email signup.Source

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

Have it built

ProgrammableAgency

1 of the 23 ideas are things Programmable builds and runs for its customers: pages, outreach, prospect lists, booking flows and monitors. Pick one, or send the whole list.

Prospect lists1The list compiled from public sources, verified, deduplicated and delivered to your CRM.

A 30-minute session with the engineer who would build it, not a sales call. You leave with a plan whether or not you hire us.

Book a working session

Usually live within days.

Tools for the rest

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value logging symptoms by talking instead of filling in forms. The most cited problem: re-explaining their history to every new clinician.

  • Visual energy pacing based on spoon theory
  • Tracking that becomes exhausting in itself
  • In their words: “spoons”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Bearable, Visible, Guava and Human Health.

  • Gap to exploit: Conversational logging that turns into a doctor-ready report
  • Bearable: Form-based logging
  • Visible: Paid band membership required for pacing insights

Hiring signals

Juno is a team of five hiring for two things: distribution through short-form video and creators, and the app itself.

  • Social Media Manager: TikTok, Instagram and Shorts measured on app signups. Ideas 11, 12.
  • Social Media & Content Intern: Short health videos, checked before publication. Ideas 5, 14.
  • Growth & Operations Intern: UGC creator recruitment and outreach. Ideas 10, 12.
