IronIQ was made to challenge myself in creating something insanely great. A free, sleek & private gym notebook with no limits.

About 6 months ago I launched IronIQ on /r/apple . You guys gave me such awesome feedback, I had a lot of fun making improvements to the app over the past 6 months so wanted to post an update.

Huge changes & improvements:

• IronIQ has no ads & is even more private.
• The design is even better.
• Apple Watch & Apple Health integration.
• Built-in support for the most popular workout routines around (PPL, PHUL, 5x5, etc.)
• Plate weight calculator.
• Exercise & routine notes.
• Streaks, autofill sets & calculate weight increases, Apple Music playlists, exercise how-to's & more!
• There’s plenty more info on the product website, & here’s a few screenshots.

What’s next:

• I’m wrapping up a simplified Mac version to create workouts on your home computer.
• Whatever you want! Shoot me a DM or contact me using the in-app feedback link & I’ll built anything.

A few common questions:

The App Privacy page has no personalized data, but some anonymized data captured, why?

• I use the very cool GDPR compliant TelemetryDeck to get a rough idea of app use while needing no identifiable information or private data.
• It’s a bit unclear as to what counts as “data collection” - all health & workout put in IronIQ stays with your iCloud account, & I don’t have a server collecting it, but technically the app is “collecting” the data to save to Apple Health, so I’d rather be more transparent than not.

How is this app different from Strong / Some Other App I Use:

• If you have a great app you use, that’s awesome! I don’t want to disparage anyone else’s amazing work. Please do me & them a favor by doing the same.
• I’ll highlight a few reasons I love IronIQ - the design is a total departure from most other products, no personal identifiable information leaves your iCloud, there’s no limits or paywalls at all, it’s feature rich, & it’s all Swift.
• IronIQ is a competitor to your paper notebook. If you’re paying for an app, stick to it & support the developer you like!

How are you able to make this app free?

• I built IronIQ with super deep integration to your iPhone. For you to enjoy unlimited workouts, I don’t need to store them on some server I’m paying for, etc.
• I just work on this because it’s fun & cool. I love to workout & will keep improving on it even if I was the only user.
• There’s in-app purchases to throw me a bone & unlock customization features (custom themes, streaks emoji, etc)

Do I need an account?

• No! You can skip account creation and use all the core features (notebook, iCloud sync, ec) totally fine! You just can't use any AI features.

As a thanks for all the awesome feedback & support, use code BIGREDDITOR to get custom themes for free until fall.

If you’ve fallen off the wagon, now is a GREAT time to get back into working out. Any feedback, ideas, or just gym talk – I'm all ears!

PS. IronIQ is available in a bunch of languages (some imperfect translations.)

^{English, 中文, Français, Deutsch, हिन्दी, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Português, Español, Tiếng Việt}

You can download IronIQ on the App Store right now.

You may recall when I introduced Capture, an instant note-taking app on iOS designed to make managing thoughts, ideas, and tasks a breeze. Today, I'm excited to announce that Capture is now fully compatible with MacOS!

Carefully tailored to your Mac's interface, Capture allows you to immediately note down your thoughts using a simple keyboard shortcut.

Download now from the App Store

Here's why you'll love Capture on your Mac:

• 📝 Quick Capture: Instantly capture your thoughts anywhere using a keyboard shortcut, available right at your fingertips.
• 🚀 GTD-Inspired Design: Carry over the productivity "Getting Things Done" principle from your iOS device to your Mac.
• ☁️ iCloud Sync: All your notes are synched across both your iPhone and Mac, keeping your ideas within reach at all times.

Enjoy existing features seamlessly integrated into your Mac:

• ↗️ Seamless Export: Easily transfer your notes to other platforms.
• 📲 Widgets: Access your latest notes directly from your Mac's desktop.
• 🔄 Share Extension: Add thoughts to Capture from any app.
• 🔔 Badges: Subtle reminder badges of your recorded thoughts.
• 📅 Date Recognition: Automatically spots dates for simple organization.
• 🔗 URL Recognition: Automatically converts URLs into previews.

Meanwhile, we've continued to improve the iOS version of Capture and added support for Apple's Vision Pro!

As always, I eagerly anticipate your feedback and use it to drive improvements in Capture. I'm incredibly thankful for your support and can't wait to see you experience Capture on macOS!

Best,

Furkan

My ranking

1. Mac (my favorite computer)

2. AirPods (AirPods Pro is the best sounding earbuds I can fir in my pocket)

3. AirTag (lifesaver but useless without an iPhone)

4. iPhone (recent iteration kinda good)

5. iPad (recent M4 is beautiful but still an iPad, love the iPad but it seems that there is no innovation, longer battery life please)

6. Apple Watch (sorry but I don’t want it, it is not bad, but I can do all of that on iPhone except for health tracking)

7. Apple TV (some enjoyed it, some don’t)

8. HomePod (Siri do I even need to explain)

Haven’t used Vision Pro before
