SweatDiary – simple workout journal, native iOS and macOS app
Free native workout diary with iCloud sync, but Strava and Hevy already dominate.

It’s not trying to compete with trainers or AI coaching apps. It solves a simpler problem: people save workouts, but rarely turn them into usable plans.
Some interesting things I’ve learned since launching in early January: Most paying users are 35–55, not 20-somethings. The biggest pain point isn’t discovering workouts — it’s organizing and following them. Users describe it as a “workout video compiler,” which wasn’t language I initially used but turned out to be accurate. Several reviews mention that scrolling at the gym is the real friction.
A few actual user quotes:
“Other apps just have set workouts that aren’t as customizable as I’d like — this app provides that customization.”
“I scroll Instagram all the time and saving workout ideas is a mess. This was super helpful.”
“There’s nothing worse than scrolling social media or notes in a busy gym. This solves that problem.”
The app is currently search-driven (App Store search is ~60% of downloads), so I’m mostly focused on product and retention rather than paid marketing.
Would love feedback on: Whether this problem resonates outside fitness If organizing saved content into structured systems is a broader pattern What you’d build next in this niche
Happy to answer technical or product questions.

Fitness + territory conquest is a fun concept, but Ingress/Pokémon GO already nailed this.
Viggle AI wrapper specifically for cats, which is genuinely delightful.
Bulk-saving open tabs and YouTube videos in one click is an immediately useful shortcut for anyone drowning in browser windows. The landing page and UI previews look clean and focused on import flows (current page / all tabs / paste links / create notebook), but there’s nothing here that meaningfully differentiates it from OneTab, Pocket, or existing NotebookLM integrations — and the pitch is light on how videos are handled (transcripts? metadata?) or where your data is stored. Small user count and generic privacy claims make this feel like a competent MVP rather than a must-install.
Strava-to-Instagram wrapper with pretty templates — useful if you post daily.
No-code fitness app, but Fitbod and Fitness+ already own this category.
