    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…

    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…

    Hey HN, I’ve built and bootstrapped PARIAN. It designs personalized workouts so you reach your fitness goal quickly and efficiently. By training only with goal-specific exercises tailored to your experience level and preferred equipment (or just bodyweight), you skip the wasted time, effort, and disappointment. No more doom scrolling exercises, being overwhelmed by how to plan them, and being bombarded by noise from all the fitfluencers. You workout with confidence knowing each exercise is intentional and each session is moving you forward. Plus, you have the freedom to customize your…

    My friends and I made an app that uses your phone's camera to track and improve your form. It'll give you visual and verbal feedback for every rep in real time, ensuring accountability. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/firefly-fitness/id6464440707 (No, we don’t store or view any camera footage as you're working out.) The challenges and programs are free to try, no sign-ups or subscription required. (We do ask that you sign-up to save your stats). Just swipe down on the paywall. As a heads up, challenges and programs have pre-set strictness, so you’ll need to…

    Hi HN, My motivation for this came from frustration with existing workout trackers. Most felt clunky, hid core features like performance graphs behind a paywall, or forced a native app download. A few people close to me who take their training seriously shared the same sentiment, so I decided to build my own. I'm working on mTOR, a free, science-based workout tracker I built to automate progressive overload. It's a local-first PWA that works completely offline, syncs encrypted between your devices using passwordless passkeys, and allows for plan sharing via a simple link. The core idea is to…

    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…
