I am a software developer and in the last few months after recently becoming a father I was barely finding time for a proper workout. Recently I was reading about new research on Snack Exercises and how beneficial mini workouts of less than 2mins every so often, during the day are to our body. So, I decided to build an iOS App for me and others to help with this. The app generates a list of exercises that I need to tick to complete daily or loose my streak. The algorithm takes into account muscle groups and balancing the exercises to hit most main muscles. I also stayed going through all…

Im a triathlete and the data for my training lives in 6 apps: Garmin, Strava, WHOOP, Intervals.icu, Wahoo, Withings, Apple Health, sometimes Hevy. Every morning Id eyeball a few of them and make a call on whether to do the planned session. For the past month I have been building a thing that does this for me, and got it to the point where I use it myself every day. It OAuths into whatever platforms you connect, reconciles the activities (tbh harder than it sounds — same ride shows up in Strava, Garmin, and Wahoo with different timestamps and rounding), computes daily load and readiness, and…

Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening. I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales. I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips…

Proxima▲77Despite there being lots of information out there on how to train in the gym, I still get asked by beginners the same fundamental questions. I decided to build a tool that would allow them to create their own programs in a matter of seconds. I plan soon to create another tool that will rate the quality of these AI built workouts to help improve the programs over time.

i built a heart rate zone training app for runners. ios + apple watch. custom zones, real-time haptics, post-run graphs. all the “smart” stuff you’d expect. but i never talked to a single runner before building it. not even myself lol. started as a thesis → kept building → added features → added a paywall (€4/month!) → launched it → and yeah… no one cared. zero feedback. zero users. just code in the void. i recently made the whole thing free. not trying to “sell” anything now — just seeing if it’s actually useful, and listening this time. curious how others handle this. ever build…

Hi everyone, I'm delighted to share my latest little venture just in the nick of time for the November Startup Sprint which I've really enjoyed. Been working away on the MVP for most of the last month, so it's awesome to be able to keep working on it having got the "launch" out of the way. I've been lucky to have some great friends trying it out for weeks now and helping me shape it, so this doesn't feel like a huge event, just another step in iterating to keep improving the product. Please check it out and let me know your feedback, you're always awesome - http://bufferapp.com

Hey HN, I was overweight in college and started my weight loss journey using an app called MyFitnessPal. Tracking calories not only helped me lose weight but also taught me a lot about nutrition and helped establish healthy eating habits that continue to benefit me. However, I’ve always been frustrated by the existing nutrition tracking apps. Many are slow and bloated, lack accurate nutrition data, or don’t respect user privacy. I wanted to build something that I’d love using myself. A few things that make FitBee stand out: * Fast, lightweight and to the point - The app is just about…

Hello there, When I started training for the first marathon in my life, I download a 6 months training plan, printed it, pinned it to my fridge, and started circling each completed training day. Sadly, I would often get injured during my runs, which would lead to days or weeks without running, and a lot of changes to the plan I had printed. All running apps that I tried either forced me to follow their plan from the start (which I didn’t want to do because I was already in the middle of training) or made it extremely slow and difficult to add a custom plan. So I decided to create my own app,…

I've just launched this little iOS app as an alternative to Apple Fitness, which is cluttered and chaotic when it comes to visualizing basic workout stats and metrics. The idea is to focus on a clean, minimalistic design and only show high-level metrics that are actually useful, e.g. how often did I work out this week/month/year, cardio vs strength vs mobility, surf session count in February, etc. It's free and offline. Also, no signup, no ads, no data sharing, no social feeds, and no notifications. Just open it and get a quick glance at the state of your workout game within 2s.…

Hi HN, I'm an indie dev who built this to settle a long-running argument with my teenage son about who lifts more at the gym. I wanted a workout tracker to kept our data side-by-side on a leaderboard, and let us swap training plans without texting screenshots back and forth. Nothing I tried did all three without a subscription wall, so I wrote my own. Most of the app is free, it covers the full workout experience and progress tracking with 80+ exercises. The one-time purchase unlocks multiple plans, custom movements, and the social/sharing features, mainly to pay for the infra. The…
