Beat Your Last

What it does

I built BYL because every workout app I tried (Strong, Hevy, Fitbod) assumed I was following a program. I'm not. I walk into the gym and decide what to lift based on how I feel that day. So I built the opposite. BYL logs whatever you do, then surfaces the proof your random Tuesday sessions are still building strength. Per-exercise PRs, "beat your last" prescriptions, insights — without telling you what to do. Free Pro access for the beta period. Happy to answer anything in the thread.

  Despite there being lots of information out there on how to train in the gym, I still get asked by beginners the same fundamental questions. I decided to build a tool that would allow them to create their own programs in a matter of seconds. I plan soon to create another tool that will rate the quality of these AI built workouts to help improve the programs over time.

  Steps: Workout & PedometerMar 2026 · getsteps.app · ▲98

  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…

  Personal Trainer - Your Gym LogMay 2026 · mobile-squad.com · ▲8

  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…

  Strength Journeys2024 · strengthjourneys.xyz · ▲4

  I built Strength Journeys, a free open-source dashboard that turns your Google Sheet lifting log into visual insights. I've been working on this for about 3 years - teaching myself React (Next.js) and Javascript. It’s designed for long-term barbell lifters and strength nerds who already track workouts in spreadsheets. All processing happens in the browser—no backend, no login, no data lock-in. It has an openAI API "talk to your data" and a lifting coach feature. Feedback very welcome—especially if you lift or track data in Google Sheets! I personally am a 51 year old garage powerlifter. The…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
