I turned someone’s tweet into an app idea and it has made ~$3000 so far in 4 months.
A guy on X, posts app ideas every day. I stumbled upon one of his post about making a workout import app to import workouts from social media.
The tweet was basically:
“Why is there no Recime for workouts?”
And honestly…
I had the exact same frustration.
I had hundreds of saved workout videos across Instagram and TikTok.
But when it was time to actually work out:
- I couldn’t find anything
- forgot exercise order
- switched between apps constantly
- wasted more time scrolling than training
So after work and on weekends, I started building FitSaver.
An app that turns saved workout videos into structured routines you can actually follow.
The first version barely worked.
Imports failed constantly.
The backend broke during traffic spikes.
Android subscriptions randomly stopped working at one point.
But people immediately understood the problem.
Not:
“another fitness app.”
But:
“I save workouts constantly and never use them.”
That became the real positioning.
Most growth came from Reddit posts, sharing the journey publicly, and shipping features directly from user feedback.
Today:
- 3000+ workout imports
- hundreds of active users
- 88 active subscriptions
- ~$3000 revenue so far
- built solo from India
Still early.
Still improving every week.
But seeing strangers use something that started from a random tweet and my own frustration feels surreal.
Reddit being your main growth lever is the kind of thing solo founders sleep on. Which subs ended up actually converting for FitSaver, and were you posting raw build-in-public updates or more 'I had this exact problem' style posts? Trying to figure out the right voice there for my own iOS app.
This is a strong example of positioning coming from user behavior, not from the app category.
“Another fitness app” is weak. “I save workouts constantly and never use them” is much sharper because it captures the real pain immediately. That should probably stay at the center of the homepage and launch copy.
The one thing I’d pressure-test now is the name. FitSaver explains the current action, but it may also make the product feel like a small saving/import utility. The bigger product is turning scattered fitness inspiration into actual routines people follow.
Since you already have users, subscriptions, and revenue, the brand starts mattering more. Auryxa .com would fit this direction better if you want it to feel like a polished consumer fitness/productivity brand rather than a utility for saved videos.
The product is already proving people understand the pain. The next step is making the brand feel as strong as the behavior it unlocks.
