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