I was starting to go to the gym regularly and found an incredible app that had all the features I needed but was trying to charge $4/month or $40 for a complete feature unlock. I was appalled at the idea that an app so simple as a gym journal could not be done in a way that didn't have any overhead costs. So I went ahead and built it after the dev of that previous app wished me luck in making one. It isn't very fancy but I'll see what I can add, maybe support for apples foundation AI local models for some basic insights or possibly a running/cardio tracker?
