24 alternatives to Axletic – a local-first workout tracker for iPhone
Hi HN, I built Axletic, a native iPhone workout tracker focused on making workout logging feel quick and uncomplicated. I drew a lot of inspiration from clean, dark themed apps such as Linear. I felt like a lot of fitness apps out there were too complicated to get started with, messy UI, too many settings etc. This one is made for people that just want to log what they do and understand how it is going. Kinda like a notes app for workout tracking. The core idea is that recording a workout should not interrupt the workout. Axletic lets you log weight, reps, duration, distance, rest periods,…

Just Log▲359Hi HN, I built Just Log after getting frustrated with fitness apps that were too complex for basic workout tracking. Most apps have social feeds, complicated interfaces, and features I never used. Just Log focuses on the essentials: quick workout logging, habit formation, and progress tracking without the bloat. Built it in a month while sharing the process publicly on Twitter. The app uses a minimalist approach - you can log a complete workout in seconds. No social features, no notifications, just simple tracking that helps build consistency. Launched on Product Hunt today. Android is live…

I tried some web tools to track my workouts (specifically, running); some (like FitTrackee) came close, but I always found annoyances. So I decided to build my own. Specifically geared towards distance-based workouts, such as walking, running or cycling.

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…

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…
