Show IH: Handle — a customizable home workout app, dial in to start with how you feel

Trainers pushing too hard. Apps demanding daily check-ins and exhaustive logging — or going it alone and forgetting when you last moved. Spending more time picking a plan than actually moving. And the bare-minimum approach? Boring within a week.

I just wanted something I could open and start. Something that respects rest, and builds around how I actually feel. A friend saw the prototype and said: "Can you get it to me somehow?" Her partner could use it too, she added — his dumbbells had been collecting dust for months. That made me think: maybe more people need this.

Every workout program, at its core, comes down to four variables: how often, how long, how hard today, and which movements fit your life. Handle puts exactly those four in your hands — nothing more.

Hit Start. It generates a fresh session every time — warm-up, training, cooldown. Intensity resets every session: Soft, Steady, or Strong.

Sessions land on a yearly calendar — one glance, mapped in color.

The build:

• Flutter (iOS first, Android roadmap)

• Local storage — no user data on servers (privacy-by-design, also keeps infrastructure simple as a solo dev)

• Built solo

• Full design + development + copy: just me

Revenue model: Core app: free forever, no ads. The paid tier will grow with advanced features — I'll be transparent about what's coming as I build it.
