I built a free, open-source tool that shows which sub-muscles you've trained, using your Hevy data

Hi everyone, I asked a question about this here yesterday and a few of you said "just build it", so I did. Sharing in case anyone else wants the same thing. It's open-source and free. You can run it locally or deploy it to Vercel.

What it does:

  • Breaks your training down into 32 sub-muscles, e.g. Shoulders → front/side/rear delt, rotator cuff; Chest →upper/mid/lower chest, serratus anterior; and so on. Every exercise in your Hevy log is distributed across these.
  • Each exercise comes with default percentages for how much it hits each sub-muscle. You can change them in settings if your form or grip shifts the emphasis.
  • Shows a visual body map plus an overview of volume per sub-muscle, so you can see what you've been over- and under-training.

Any idea why Hevy doesn't have sub muscle groups?

It's weird that they still don't have this functionality.

I'm looking for alternatives, please suggest so I can go deeper into my fitness journey and track front/rear/side delts, upper/mid/lower chest workouts and so on.

Product Feedback

Hi everyone,

I'm the creator of ilrtracker.com

As someone who has been on Skilled Worker -> ILR journey last 5 years I built a product I wish existed when I first arrived in the UK, using my experience as a frequent traveller.

Upfront so it's not a surprise later: some of it is free tools, most of it (after sign-up) is paid. That's what keeps me working on it.

What I'm actually here for - as someone who's been on an ILR journey, what features / tools do you wish existed? What are your big problems & pain points on the naturalisation journey?

What ILR Tracker does today:

  • making sure you're compliant with all ILR and naturalisation absence rules based on the trips you input
  • community processing times for both ILR and naturalisation, and your personal timeline based on community medians
  • simulating future travels before you take them, so you can be sure you're compliant
  • export all your travel data in a format you can share with your solicitor (this took me a full day when I was applying for ILR)

Also in there: Life in the UK prep / mock exams (1000+ questions), a financial plan for all your costs until you become a UK citizen, and personalized notifications / warnings based on your details, and family plan (up to 5 members).

Looking forward for any feedback from fellow immigrants and settlers.

[AUGUST 2026] ILR + Citizenship Processing Times Report

Hey reddit 👋

Took a few months of break with these, but back now. Same as before: community-reported timelines from public sources + ILR Tracker user data, pulled into one infographic.

Full detail's in the image. If it's useful I'll keep posting these monthly - let me know what you'd like to see added.

May 2026 ILR + Citizenship Processing Report - UK Citizenship now 55% slower than last November (data from 2,932 timelines)

Hey reddit 👋

Last month's report went down well and a few of you asked me to keep it going - so here's the May update for anyone on the path to ILR or Naturalisation. Same as before: community-reported timelines from public sources + ILR Tracker user data, pulled into one infographic.

Full detail's in the image. If it's useful I'll keep posting these monthly - let me know what you'd like to see added.

After stressing over every trip abroad and rule change conversations last I dunno how many months... I got that big email this morning. Approved!! Sharing my details in case it helps anyone else in the queue.

  • Route: Skilled Worker
  • Applied: 24 April 2026
  • Service: Priority
  • Biometrics: 01 May 2026
  • UKVI Confirmation: 01 May 2026
  • Decision received: 07 May 2026

I worked with a solicitor and I provided them with these documents:

  • Passport(s)
  • Entry clearance temporary vignette
  • BRPs
  • Life in the UK test result
  • Full list of absences
  • Authorised Absences Letter from the company (categorized them into work-related travel, paid annual leave, and remote working abroad)
  • UK NARIC certificate + degree in an English-speaking country (not UK), transcript
  • Bank statement of last 5 years (only main account where salary comes in)
  • Council Tax bills of last 5 years
  • Employment contract, CV, assigned CoS, ILR Employment letter
  • P60s of last 5 years
  • Payslips of last 5 years
  • Tenancy agreements of last 5 years
  • Utility bills of last 5 years (minimum 2 bills from each year) - electricity, gas, internet, water didn't matter

Another note is that I have a tool called ilrtracker.com - built it for myself initially because I travel a lot and tracking absences manually was painful, then it turned into a project when people on reddit found it useful. The reason I'm mentioning this is that I used it throughout my own application: absence tracking, Life in the UK test prep, organising the documents for my firm, and watching processing times for the same route. There's a bunch of free tools on there too. Genuinely think it might save you some stress if you give it a try.

Lastly, I wish best of luck to everyone who is going through the same process as me. You'll get it!

Hey reddit 👋

I prepared an infographic for April for those on the path to ILR or Naturalisation/citizenship, pulling together community-reported timelines from public sources + ILR Tracker user data.

Goal is to share data with the UK ILR & citizenship community - monthly reports, free tools, no fluff.

UK Citizenship median wait has grown from 76 days (Nov 2025) to 116 days (Apr 2026). A 53% slowdown in 5 months.

Full breakdown in the image - premium service ROI, citizenship-by-route myth-buster, the CS→Atlas email gap, refusal rates, and methodology.

If people find this useful, I can share it each month. Let me know in the comments!

I've been collecting actual processing time data from applicants (from Reddit threads, different immigration forums and direct submissions onto my website). Here's what the current medians look like:

https://preview.redd.it/hn6d6g2d8qvg1.png?width=984&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7b8f0f157d8b7143b921fb5a3a5c5051b525327

- Standard: 82 days (but 91 days in April so far, down from 103 in March!)

- Priority: 4 days (5 days in April decisions)

- Super Priority: 1 day

These are across SET routes. Stardard processing has improved compared to last month (was 103 days in March)

Has anyone had a standard decision recently? Curious whether the improvement is going to be continuing into May or April is going to be a one-off.
