This is probably the first app I’ve come across on HN where I immediately downloaded it with the intent to use it. I love this idea because I’ve been thinking recently that I want to get into a micro-exercise habit. Like maybe every time I go to the bathroom, I do a quick rep. So this is perfect.

I’m going to try it out this week and give feedback.

Some immediate feedback if it helps - the “Your List Expires at Midnight” screen is pretty confusing. I think I understand what you’re saying on this screen. But the presentation of the icons really threw me off, I’m not sure what they’re trying to convey.

Nonetheless I’m really excited to give it a try. If there’s a particular place where you’d like feedback, let me know.

I'm also an insta-download. Very clear landing page, very clear value proposition. Nice work.

I was not sure about “Your List Expires at Midnight” myself. I will try other options. Thanks for the feedback! Very much appreciated

Also, it's lose your streak, not loose.

Does X10 for plank and jogging mean 10 seconds, or get into the position, hold, and return to rest 10 times?

I fixed this in the next update coming tomorrow. I changed the reps to seconds for these timed exercises. Thanks for the notice!

It would be cool to be able to pick a start time and a reminder period: starting at 9am, e.g., prompt me to exercise every 45 minutes, with a defer option.
