Simple utility apps like this are definitely going to be under threat by AI-driven app creation. Unsatisfied with the free options out there, I've been using Claude to build my own workout tracker app with nearly the exact same Live Activity functionality in addition to the other features most apps lock up behind IAP subscriptions. Within a week I had the iOS and macOS apps up and running with CloudKit sync, analytic…

I built a simple workout tracker/planner in an afternoon using an AI tool that is exactly what I want and free.
This is something I really have wanted from a lifting app. One thing I don't think is here, but would really love: be able to describe a workout I did today with my trainer so I can replicate it perfectly in 3 days at the gym by myself: "bench press, drop sets, with a 30 second hold before each set, starting at 100lb and decreasing 10lb each set, reps starting at 20 and dropping to 16, 14, 12, and 10 for a total of 5…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It would take about 2 minutes to code that up with an LLM, and not much longer to code it by hand. Building apps to scratch personal itches that would otherwise be infeasible is one of the best new capabilities that nearly everyone in the world has been recently granted.
Just 2 minutes and a $99USD/year Apple Developer account.
I'm a bit confused, how does it know when you've finished an exercise? There don't seem to be any inputs on the live activity when in the middle of a set, and the post just describes "glancing" at the lock screen.

This app however, with thousands of exercises, each exercise mapped to the correct muscle group and equipment. Well tested integration with Apple Watch. Social features, like posts, follows, likes, public and private accounts. That’s not made that easily with AI.
Interesting; I was looking for a replacement for Strong for iOS just yesterday. Strong was a great app but the dev hasn't been keeping up-to-date with iOS features like live activities and such. I found that there are loads of apps like this out there, with varying degrees of polish / paywalls. Don't get me wrong, this one doesn't look bad! But what I really want is a demonstrated long-term commitment to the app. If…
I know there are tons of apps like this out there, but I’m honestly testing and testing and polishing this app very consistently. Trying to create a really smooth experience.
I’ll appreciate your feedback, I just launched the app 3 days ago and the website is not even finished yet!

But I’ll put it in the backlog and work!
