We just launched Fitify, and honestly, I’m already tired from clicking the deploy button. 🛋️
It’s a fitness app for people who think “fitness app” sounds exhausting. Which… fair.
The Concept
Micro-workouts disguised as normal life. No gym. No spandex. No one yelling at you about your macros.
The idea is simple: you’re already doing stuff throughout your day. Walking to the mailbox. Doing dishes. Waiting for coffee to brew. What if all that stuff secretly counted as exercise?
Turns out it does. We just wrote it down and made it slightly more intentional.
Some Example Tips
We grabbed some random ones. They might not even be our favourites! (We have 139 of them — we’re not about to play favourites like some fitness influencer picking their “top 5 abs exercises.”)
Your dog's been staring at you for 20 minutes. Take the hint. Secret: 15-20 min of cardio. Shhh.
Put on a playlist while doing dishes. You'll move. It's inevitable. Secret: Stealth arm workout.
Brush your teeth? Do slow squats. The door is closed. Go nuts. Secret: 15-20 bodyweight squats.
All the Tips. Zero Judgment.
Browse by difficulty (Easy, Medium, Sneaky, or Legendary), or by body focus. Save your favorites. Get personalized recommendations based on your lifestyle. There’s even a category called “Watching TV” because we get you.
Look, we’re going to level with you: this section exists partly for SEO. Google loves long content. We love Google traffic. You love not paying for apps. Everyone wins.
But while we’re here stuffing keywords into this page like groceries into a reusable bag (that’s a workout, by the way — tip #47), let’s talk about why Fitify is different from every other fitness app you’ve downloaded, opened once, and then ignored for six months.
Why We’re Different (The Part Where We Sell You)
Other fitness apps want you to become a gym person. They want you to track macros, log reps, and feel bad about yourself until you eventually hit “cancel subscription.”
Fitify doesn’t care if you ever set foot in a gym. We assume you won’t. We respect that. Our whole vibe is: you’re already doing stuff. Let’s just… acknowledge it’s exercise and move on.
No guilt. No shame. No before/after photos. Just “hey, you walked to the coffee machine 8 times today — that’s like, 400 steps.”
It’s Free. For Now.
No subscriptions. No “unlock premium to breathe correctly.” No ads. No crypto. (The AI suggested crypto. We said no. Twice.)
It won’t always be free — we have to eat, presumably — but get tips while you can! Because fitness guilt shouldn’t come with a price tag. The guilt should be free. Like Fitify. For now.
The Build
This was a solo build — one developer plus AI agents who don’t sleep and occasionally suggest adding blockchain features. (“What if users could mint their squats as NFTs?” No. Stop it.)
The entire thing was designed, built, and launched in a few weeks. Rails 8, because we’re not monsters. Turbo and Stimulus for the fancy bits. SQLite because we’re trying to keep hosting costs lower than your gym membership that you’re definitely still paying for.
It’s the kind of project that makes you wonder why more apps aren’t just… simpler. Useful. And not trying to extract $9.99/month from your pocket while showing you unskippable ads for protein powder.
