We got frustrated with workout apps, so me and 2 friends built our own — looking for honest feedback
A few months ago me and 2 friends realized we were all using workout trackers but had the same complaints:
- Too many locked features
- Too much clutter
- Felt like filling spreadsheets during workouts
- Almost no social motivation
So instead of complaining, we built our own.
It's called Ryft - The workout tracker built by friends, for friends.
Current features:
- Create workout plans and workout days
- Track sets, reps, weights, and timed exercises
- Rest timers
- Progress tracking
- Social workout activity
- Gamification (XP, streaks, levels, achievements)
The interesting part is that we originally built it only for ourselves and our friend group. But after using it, we thought:
"Maybe other people are frustrated by the same things."
Now we're looking for people willing to test it and give honest feedback.
A few questions:
- What's the biggest thing you dislike about your current workout app?
- What feature would make you switch immediately?
- What feels missing in fitness apps today?
I'll be reading every response and adding ideas to our roadmap.
