    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…

    Over the last couple of months, I’ve been building a timer web app for myself that I use for workout and stretching sessions. My main use-case is gym routines that consist of repeatable sequences, e.g. where you are holding certain positions for a set time (rinse and repeat). The app counts down the program, beeps, and reads the activities out loud. Two things (I suppose) are special about it: - The timers are “programmable”, so you can freely express your own routines and procedures in a declarative notation. - The app is all static (no backend): the entire program is encoded in the URL and…

    Hi HN! I'm first time poster here and so excited to share with you a neat little app I've launched recently. The app is called Activity Jot and its main purpose is to track tiny little irregular activities and events in your daily life. I'm sure many of you want to remember the last time you went grocery shopping and how much money you spent on grocery at that time; or how long you spent time on your last gaming session; or how regularly you are eating out, and at which restaurants. If you're struggling to keep track of those activities, this app is definitely for you! Check it out at…

    In 2013, I couldn’t find a decent interval timer for my workouts on the Android Market (Google Play wasn’t even called Google Play yet!). Could you believe that? Typing 'interval timer' returned nothing! So I decided to build a simple App while in college. Fast forward 12 years, that simple timer has grown into an ecosystem: Android, iOS, Wear OS, Apple Watch, and a coaching platform. All built solo, with no AI assistance, and redesigned 4 times to keep up with UI trends. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about long-term app maintenance, cross-platform challenges, and keeping codebases…

    Hello there, I'm working on an android app that allows to easily track the time and temperature of your cold showers and ice baths. Main features include the possibility to visualize your progress over time, achievements when you reach new time and temperature limits, a “badass score” that makes it easy to compare your progress with others, and a Voice Coach that keeps you motivated and makes you feel less alone in the cold. I’d appreciate any feedback on the app. More specifically, I would like to know how intuitive the user interface is, and what UI changes would make it a better app.…

    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
