Products that do what I Built a Lightweight Nutrition Tracker for the iPhone does
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…

Hi all, over the last 2 years I've been on and off building my app for iPhone. Caloree is basically a freemium calorie tracker/food diary with the ability to only track calories. This sets it apart from the competition which usually allows logging a gazillion macros. This (hopefully) makes it easier for users to log their food. Feedback so far has been great. The app launched today, which I am quite proud of. It's been 2 years next to raising 2 small kids which meant to often sacrifice the project when it was moving along nicely and spending way less time on it than I would have wanted…

Hello HN, I wanted a simple app to track my fitness progress. Every fitness tracker in the AppStore had too many features for my liking so I made fit-stitch (Free, iOS). It allows you to take snapshots and attach a weight and date to each one. When you've made some progress you can create a before and after picture with a few taps. Hope you find it useful. www.fit-stitch.com

I've often wondered whether there are any patterns or cycles to my moods so I built a simple iPhone app that occasionally pings me to ask how I'm feeling on a scale of 1 - 10. I also note down what I'm thinking or doing at that moment and automatically grab my location. I use the data to show some basic statistics on how I've been feeling on average over the past three days, past week and since I started tracking. There's also a graph of my moods over time. I'd love to get feedback on whether people would find something like this useful. I'm curious about what other things people would want…

Hey everyone! I've been diving into a project that stemmed from a familiar frustration. I found myself hitting a wall with exercise routines and healthy meals—keeping things fresh and staying on top of progress felt like a challenge. None of the existing solutions quite clicked for me. So, I decided to channel my tech skills into something snappy and efficient to tackle this dilemma head-on. The result? I've crafted an initial version of a web app that packs a punch: Snap a pic to track your meals effortlessly. Instantly get meal suggestions tailored to your dietary preferences (think vegan,…

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.…

Our first iPhone app is finally out: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slimkicker-calorie-counter/id512812753?ls=1&mt=8 . We also got a website: slimkicker.com for those without iPhones. As the title suggests, we try to apply gamification for people trying to lose weight. We use a points system similar to Weight Watchers, except in reverse (the more healthy the food, the more points). Some people have commented we're similar to another site: Fitocracy (their app also is out today). But we're reaching a different audience: people who want to lose weight or live healthy, but don't know…
