Dogfooding is a term that comes from "eating your own dog food". In software development it means using the software you build yourself. If you want to make great software, this makes a lot of sense, you see all the bugs, you depend on it, so you naturally want to improve it.

I understand that put some people off, but this is completely optional!

You do not need to login. Works offline. Everything is local. Saves to a local db.

Workouts are front and center

Haha yeah, hard to compete with good old pen and paper

I can’t really see the similarities to be honest, looked it up and find the Musklr heatmap for example much nicer, with actual human anatomy.

It also does not have Apple Watch integration and a few other critical features

I get that, for Musklr I made signing in optional, social features completely optional. Works great offline. Caches animations and saves everything locally. So can set the app in flight mode. Just use an Apple Watch if you want. And everything will still work.

In this case it’s really an activity that you are currently doing. Like a rest timer between sets. Or what to lift in your next exercise. It’s gone when the workout is over.

It works really well with Apple Watch! Then you don’t have to look at your phone

I’m always using Apple Watch with Musklr, polishing the UI and experience

I have been working on this app for a while, trying to create a good UI and good integration with Apple Watch.

As well as live activity, haptic feedback, animations, fast local database with search that is super fast (it’s actually really fast with fussy matching algorithm so even if you type the exercise wrong it will find it instantly)

And if you have any feedback I’ll make sure to fix it!

Hi, is this a reference to the app? If it’s feedback for the app, I’ll look into it!

Hi, I’m the creator of Musklr. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into creating something like this, but might not be the implement first. Have a few more thinks in the backlog :)

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

Hi, I’m the creator of Musklr. I created this app because of the same frustrations with poorly created workout apps.

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!

If you just have the name of an exercise and type in the amount of kg and reps. That’s just a TODO app++. Easily created with Claude in an afternoon

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.

Hi, I’m the creator of the app. You fill in sets and reps on the iPhone or using your Apple Watch on your wrists. Live activity shows syncs with this

Finish a set in Musklr and a full screen rest timer takes over. A big countdown ring, a dark scrim, nothing else competing for your attention. Tap anywhere and the timer gets out of your way. Until version 1.180 it faded out. Now the ring shrinks, flies to the corner and lands in the little timer slot in the stats bar, as one continuous motion.
