What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN'ers! If you sit around a computer all day and are looking to be more active, or are just active in general, check out our app! https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id903459923?pt=265797&ct=hn&mt=8 or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.activityclub We have been hacking on this for 2 years and it's finally nearing a state where we are stoked about! Launched last Aug (2015) to the public. Coming up on our 1 yr anniversary and starting to get some traction. Two of us have _each_ lost about 70lbs while building the app (the rest of the were already skinny, cheaters!) and so it has not only been very fun, but also very rewarding. The tech: Backend on GCE: - 1 api server - 1 worker server - 1 redis server - Cloud SQL 2nd Gen - <$160/mo - Autoscale enabled - Managed by chef - Rails & Golang - features first in ruby - later are optimized in golang micro services - Heavy user of NSQ - platform is largely asynchronous - Avg external (rails) response time: 20ms - Avg internal (golang) response time: 1ms - Avg requests/day: 1.3 million Frontend: iOS: - 90% swift app - 10% obj-c - Switched from Core data to Realm, and haven't looked back Android: - RxJava based - Slowly converting to realm from just basic http cache architecture Stats: - 2.5 devs - 1 pr person - 1 business person - ~40,000 users Get some points, and feel good about your body, you only get one! (for now?) Thanks for reading! All comments welcome [email protected]

all alternatives →- VAVisualizing Apple Health workout data (stats, trends, insights)Mar 2026 · apps.apple.com · ▲6
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.…

- IBI Built a Lightweight Nutrition Tracker for the iPhone2024 · apps.apple.com · ▲8
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…
