Mariposas: Pet Fitness

What it does

Mariposas turns working out into a cozy collecting game. You log real strength workouts, GPS runs(with splits and pace), and studio classes, and every workout earns a Gashapon capsule spin to hatch new watercolor pets and unlock outfits. Streaks, weekly quests, and a friends feed keep you coming back. Think Tamagotchi meets your gym log: the pet collection is the reward for real training, not just steps. It is free on iOS, with a soft pastel art style and an optional premium tier.

  I built a virtual pet that gets stronger when you exerciseApr 2026 · motion-app.com · ▲7

  Hello HN, I built Motion, a fitness app where your virtual pet (we call it a Motmot) grows and gets stronger as you become more active. I wanted a fitness app that didn't feel like a fitness app. Most tools are either data-heavy dashboards or generic streak counters. Neither kept me moving.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
