    Just Log▲359

    Hi 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…

    Journaling is a great practice to learn more about yourself - if done daily. I tried it multiple times and couldn't stick to it. This project is how I finally fixed it for myself. It works by eliminating my excuses. There is only one question a day that I'll answer - no time spent on "finding the perfect topic". I only need to go to the page - not find my notebook or create a new note/paragraph in another app. I only left myself a relatively small input area, less than a page in a small notebook - that way the commitment doesn't feel too big. I really enjoy the process and it has become…

    Look, every journaling app out there wants you to organize things into folders and tags and templates. I just wanted to write something down every day. So I built this. One note per day. That's the whole deal. - Can't edit yesterday. What's done is done. Keeps you from fussing over old entries instead of writing today's. - Year view with dots showing which days you actually wrote. It's a streak chart. Works better than it should. - No signup required. Opens right up, stores everything locally in your browser. Optional cloud sync if you want it - E2E encrypted with AES-GCM, zero-knowledge,…
