Snap meal pics and describe, AI only counts nutrients, exercises, and activities you care about daily, with clean shareable contribution charts. Ask AI any question about your data, and design real-time, dynamic dashboard widgets to crunch numbers, displaying stats that matter to you, however you want.
Hey there, ex-Blizz engineer of 2+ years. I recently left behind my stable career to improve my fitness and work on my personal projects. After about 4 months of hard work 4 weeks straight of using it myself, I'm finally confident to share it with you.
For a little background, I am someone who tries to run 5 miles a day, optimize random nutrients I care about, and limit calories. I was annoyed with fitness / habit tracking. Every app wants to tell you what your goals should be. I don't need a coach. I have AI for that. And less coachy apps will still limit you in what you can track, and box in your data.
So I made an app to fix that, which puts your daily habits, nutrients, and goals in one place, letting you track anything imaginable in simple grids, by simply snapping a pic of or typing what you ate / did. Just tell it what you need to track.
These grids are super flexible. They have intuitive coloring for good habits, bad habits, nutrients, stats (like weight, height), and ranges like mood. All sorts of grid customization, like turning red when going over a threshold, scaling each square by goal completion, etc. But grids aren't enough. You need data portability so you can bring it to AI tools to analyze it. So I added two features for this: Designing dashboard widgets with AI (ex. a mood smily face, or something that crunches numbers like a calorie deficit average, etc.), and the ability to ask AI about your data. The widgets are realtime, dynamic and you have infinite possibilities. And the Q/A AI actually writes and executes scripts to get you accurate answers. These combined are amazing for me. I can have a dashboard of exactly what I care about. And I can show it off to friends and family to hold me accountable.
I'm also someone who strongly believes that self improvement is something you should experiment on at a completely personal level. For me, that means taking before/after pictures to see the effects of different exercise, nutrients, etc. So I made a progress pic / vid feature, where the snaps you take integrate into your grids, and you can see before/after comparisons of your progress pics, side by side. You can also click on each day to go back and see every entry that contributed for that day.
In short, I basically made github commit charts for everything you care about, with the least friction possible for tracking (AI, one-tapping, etc.). All with profiles you can share a link to publicly. And I tested the AI on >500 dishes and it achieved <6kcal long term bias.
I'm really happy to finally show off what the past few months of my life have amounted to, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this project goes! More than happy to answer questions on the technical side too.
Thanks for letting me share! Would love feedback.
How does it handle homemade meals vs restaurant food? And can it estimate portion sizes accurately from photos, or
do you need to input weights manually?
Tracking macros is a pain. Having to enter my meals and snacks becomes a pain point and time suck. Eventually I just give up on tracking and just wing it. I'm interested to see how this addresses my pain point.
@aaron_frost "Git Hub commit charts for everything you care about" - that's the clearest pitch for a tracking app I've heard. Immediately understood the concept.
What stands out to me is the philosophy behind it. Most fitness apps assume they know better than you - here's your meal plan, here's your workout split, here's your macro target. But anyone who's serious about self-improvement already knows what they want to track. They just need a system that gets out of the way and lets them do it. The fact that you built this for yourself first and used it for 4 weeks before launching shows.
Genuine question on the grid system: how does it handle tracking things that are hard to quantify? Like sleep quality or energy levels throughout the day - is that where the mood/range type comes in? And can you set up grids that cross-reference each other, like "show me how my mood correlates with days I hit my protein goal"?
As someone actively tracking my own fitness journey, this resonates a lot! The idea of snapping meal pics and having AI count only the nutrients I care about is brilliant — most fitness apps overwhelm you with data you do not need. The shareable contribution charts are a nice touch for accountability too. Congrats on making the leap from Blizzard to build this!
