alt Hacker NewsAsk HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)
What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

I'm working on finishing my JS KV compatibility library polystore [0], the goal is to make a widely compatible library to connect to many stores so that you can have a wide range of stores easily accesible.
For example, you make an API client library, now you can add polystore and accept multiple cache stores without writing all the compat layer yourself. This is a problem I've had multiple times in the past.
Or you make a project with cache, having it in files for local dev (highly debuggable) and then with Redis in prod is a simple ENV var change:
let store;
if (process.env.REDIS_URL) {
store = kv(RedisClient(process.env.REDIS_URL).connect());
} else {
store = kv(`file://${process.cwd()}/cache/`);
}
I was thinking about FizzBuzz and thought it might be cool to benchmark various LLMs to see the highest number they could go before they got it wrong. FizzBuzz is cool because you can test whether the model's can generalize to any other game (divisors of 3 and 7 instead of 3 and 5 for example).
Fun, short and sweet experiment to run over the weekend, with some mildly interesting results :)

Yup, it's another task manager.
I made it for myself to help me focus on one task at a time, hence the name.
It implements my number one productivity hack of picking a task and setting a timer. Time spent on a task increments.
Data is stored locally in the browser although there is a sync option i wouldn't shake a stick at if I hadn't built this myself.
Plus it's a PWA! Those are lovely.
I'm working on a no-code admin dashboard.
A small startup generally needs to explore and edit the production data. They would either build an admin dashboard, which is expensive, or use a database tool, which is bad for security. Not to mention a tool like pgadmin and dbeaver is clunky because they focus on database administration.
Backdoor is a self-hostable database querying and editing tool for teams. It reduces the need of an expensive admin dashboard. You can configure access control and validation policy for each user. The activities are tracked. It saves money and time, and it's more secure.
You can have your non-technical CEO, customer support, and sales to edit the production data in a safe and secure manner.
It currently supports Postgres and ClickHouse.
I'm looking for early users to iterate with. If this resonates with you, please reach out to me through the github repo: https://github.com/tanin47/backdoor
For a long time I've been looking to solve the repetitive schema pattern issues in SQL. This week I created a DSL that allows parametric polymorphism for SQL, and I wrote a compiler for it.

Feedback is super appreciated!
CtrlAssist – an open source project to bring more accessible, collaborative gaming to Linux! Inspired by PC gaming sessions with my own family, where both young and old relish exploring rich stories with immersive worlds (like Witcher 3, RDR3, Hogwarts Legacy, etc) but find coordinated combat or movement control too challenging to play solo, CtrlAssist lets you combine multiple controllers into one virtual gamepad, much like assist features on dedicated game consoles.
https://crates.io/crates/ctrlassist
Whether your helping grandparents through tough boss fights, or co-oping with nieces and nephews to level age gaps, CtrlAssist aims to make PC gaming on Linux fun and accessible for everyone. While I’m certain similar utilities exist, I also just wanted a holiday hobby project to practice Rust development while scratching a personal itch.
Please give it a try, share your feedback in the relevant discussion categories, or check out the open issues if you’d like to contribute, help is always welcome!

- https://github.com/ruffsl/CtrlAssist/discussions/15Working on The Password App (https://thepassword.app) - an AI-powered macOS desktop app that automatically rotates your passwords across websites.
The problem: most people have 100+ accounts with weak/reused passwords. Changing them manually is tedious, so nobody does it.
The solution: import a CSV from your existing password manager (1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden), select which accounts to update, and the app uses browser automation with Gemini 2.5 Flash to navigate to each site's password change page and update them in parallel. Exports a CSV with the new passwords to import back.
Key technical choices: - browser-use library for AI-driven browser automation (handles dynamic sites better than Selenium) - Local-only architecture: passwords never leave your machine, no cloud sync, everything stays in memory and is cleared after use - Electron + Python: React frontend with a Python agent for browser automation via stdio IPC - OpenRouter for LLM access (Gemini for navigation, Grok for validation)
Security was the most important and the hardest constraint. Passwords can't be logged, can't be sent to the LLM context, and can't persist on disk. Custom fork of browser-use to inject credentials via secure parameters invisible to the AI agent.
Currently at v0.38 with code signing and notarization for macOS. Working on improving success rates - the main challenges are 2FA requirements and anti-bot detection (Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA).
Would love feedback from anyone in the security/password management space.
Currently doing the finishing touches on a ww2 era surface grinder, closing out a new little design, and ramping my fitness up again. Next up is some duct work, some reverse engineering, and finishing my part of a paper.
I haven't had this much time off in over a decade and it's amazing. I've been hoping to get inspire for some outdoors or running related mechanical design/prototyping projects, but nothing yet.
We’re working on an AI-first interview platform for developers: Valuate.dev The usual approach to coding tasks doesn’t work anymore - companies are looking for AI engineers, yet it’s still unclear how to assess AI proficiency.
Our goal is to design challenges that combine prompting + coding, allowing us to score both how well a candidate prompts and how good the resulting code is. The aim is to bring measurement to AI prompting skills - how well-aligned prompts are and how candidates handle LLM-generated code.
At the same time, we want to keep a strong human balance in the process: hiring is a two-way street, and screening shouldn’t be fully offloaded to AI. We’re human-first.
Several tasks are already live - you can try them here: https://valuate.dev
I doubt it'll be of interest to folks here - but my Family recently (in the last couple of years) started to breed ragdoll cats in the U.K.
This has been my personal project to understand where I personally find LLMs useful as coding assistants, and where I don't. One easy to spot example is, front-end + copy. Another area I've enjoyed it is talking through how I'd design and build functionality and features ahead of time.
It's been very interesting, and is helpful to folks I care about, even if no-one else ends up using it!
I'm working on a meta framework for building "full-stack" libraries. I.e. libraries that bundle frontend hooks, backend routes, and a database schema into a single package.
This allows library authors to do more, like defining webhook handlers and (simple) database operations. The idea is to move complexity from the library user to the author, making (API) integrations easier.
I think libraries being able to write to your database is a pretty powerful concept, and can enable a number of interesting use cases.

https://github.com/Mockapapella/tenex
Tenex, a TUI for managing swarms of AI agents.
I noticed that as I'm using agents more and more my PRs are getting more ambitious (read: bigger diffs), and when I was reviewing them with agents I noticed that the first review wouldn't catch anything but the second would. This decreased my confidence in their capabilities, so I decided to make a tool to let me run 10 review agents at once, then aggregate their findings into a single agent to asses and address.
I was using Codex at the time, so Tenex is kind of a play on "10 Codex agents" and the "10x engineer" meme.
I've since added a lot of features and just today got to use it for the first time in a production system. Some rough edges for sure, but as I'm using it any time anything feels "off" or unintuitive I'm taking notes to improve it.
Fun fact, on my machine, while launching 50x Claude Code instances very nearly crashes it, I was able to launch 100x Codex instances no problem. I tried 500x but I ran into rate limits before they could all spawn :(
I am not really working on anything big right now, mostly just improving what I wrote, in particular documentation-wise.
However had, on my todo list ... a few things that are important to me are there.
One is to create some kind of pseudo-language that can model biological cells, from A to Z. I am having something similar to erlang in mind (to some extent). Now, this is nothing new - modeling is quite old, bioinformatics is old, but I have a few ideas that are somewhat novel IMO (e. g. really following erlang here, just adapted to biological systems).
Then I have a few smaller ideas. One is to finish a webframework where everything is really an object at all times. Meaning, I can work with objects when describing a webpage, from A to Z. HTML tags are objects too. I don't typically use them directly, though, but more in a meta-layout, e. g. I want to describe a webpage, but on a higher level, and also push that down into a .pdf file then seamlessly. My goal here is to be able to work with objects everywhere, not just for a single webpage but for all local and remote webpages, a bit similar to Alan Kay's old ideas.
I have a couple more ideas (one is the widgets project where I want to describe a GUI only once and then have it work in as many variants and languages as possible), but realistically I also focus on the smaller things to do as they are much easier to solve. Right now it is more important to me to finish as much as possible before the end of the year, so prioritising on smaller things makes more sense.
I’m working on DeepCost.ai, an AI-driven cloud cost optimization tool for AWS, GCP, and Azure.
The goal is to help small teams and fast-growing startups understand where cloud spend is leaking and automatically reduce waste (idle resources, over-provisioned workloads, inefficient Kubernetes setups, and AI API usage). Setup is lightweight, and we focus on actionable recommendations rather than massive dashboards.
We’re still early and testing with a few teams who want better cost visibility without running a full FinOps practice.

Getting close to my last day at my current job, and I couldn't be more excited to build in public.
When I moved to Thailand last year, the language barrier hit me immediately. So I’m scratching my own itch and building https://thaicopilot.com/, It's designed to help you learn Thai in real situations. Still early, but moving fast.
I've been working on the same business since 2021:
The first business I started never gained traction, so I sold it in 2021 (which was a completely different time compared to now).
Notion had announced that they'd launch a beta version of their API, so while waiting for the early access, I built a landing page, login/signup, and all other plumbing for the web app.
It was a rather underwhelming launch (both for the API and my business), but I gained my first customer within a month.
Honestly, it's been a slog running this business (Notion's API is surprisingly hard to work with, so it seemed that I was stuck for months on end), so knowing what I know now, I'd probably have started a different business. My burnout didn't help either.
Claude has been incredibly helpful these last few months in solving esoteric undocumented edge cases that were plaguing the codebase for years.
I have a healthy MRR/growth rate right now and the biggest product in the niche, so I'm grateful for that.
Working on migrating Hopp's [1] overlay window, which we use for drawing the remote cursors, from winit + wgpu to gpui. I used claude in the weekend to make a prototype and now I want to make a gpui app, which will replicate all of our requirements, in order to see what is missing and if I need to contribute upstream. I am planning to write a blog post when the migration is over.

As aspiring young man learning ai, I have successfully solved the theoretical limitation of embedding using hashing. Now working on turning that to RAG system as have solved the retrieval and now wanna complete the system.
Cheers :)
Helping friends (and friends of friends of friends of friends) find their next startup gig without the application process. Aspiring to be Wealthfront for your career… a passive optimization that pings you every now and then with an interesting interview you could take.
Thinking a lot about how to recognize great matches. I think basically everyone can be talented force multipliers in the right situation / company / mission / team. Everyone here wants to do their life’s work, but it’s hard to find it.
Tactically working to scale reliable human-in-the-loop AI recruiter agents with very few humans.
Working on a flight tracking tool that records the landing and takeoff actions of a local airfield to get insights in how they determine on which runway a takeoff or landing is assigned. Problem is that all the free aircraft api's don't register a landing or takeoff act and also not on which runway.
The airport in question has just one runway and is situated in a dense population area. Both sides of the runway are used (officially noted as two runways) for takeoff and landing causing noise complaints in the neighborhood. The airfield says it assigns a runway based on wind direction and speed, and when there is much traffic they relieve one of the two directions to prevent going over a threshold. My goals is to check if they follow their own rules and just to have a insight if my annoyance over why there are so many aircraft over my house and not on the other side is justified or not.
As a frontender this is quite challenging. I'm using Express with typescript to write the backend. Usually I get bored quite quickly because progress is not going fast enough, so I'm using a lot of AI to speed things up.
I'm checking for aircraft in a 5km circle every 30 seconds. If a aircraft is below and above x feet than I'm going to track it every 5 seconds. Between each entry I'm checking the coordinates and altitude to determine which runway (direction) is used and if it's taking off or landing. I'm also using another API to get weather data like wind speed and wind direction. Finally this is saved in a JSON file (for now) and loaded into the frontend to be displayed in a table.
I do have a working prototype, and removing a few bugs. At the moment it's checking the logs after a day of collecting to check for errors, fixing those errors and validating the fix the next day. When it's done I'm planning to open source it so that anyone can use it if needed.
Working on Tenderlane: https://tenderlane.app/
Freight forwarders spend days or sometimes even weeks understanding and answering tenders without even knowing if they'll win the bid!
With Tenderlane, they can now upload the entire tender spec and get an overview of what the customer wants in minutes instead.
One key learning for this project is that I'm using Excel as the "frontend" as this is what our users are most familiar with, so lots of processes involved filling, uploading and downloading an Excel file.
Building this with Elixir/Phoenix LiveView.
I’m trying to build 1 decent iOS mobile app per month.
Most recently released one was My Vocab Quest[1], a vocab mastery app with lots of word packs. It uses some gamification mechanics to make sure the user puts in the reps.
Current apps in the hopper are centered around:
(1) Recovery from cosmetic surgery. There are several balls to juggle for days, weeks, and months after a surgery. The app helps the user follow surgeon instructions, promoting physical and mental recovery, as well as medical and dietary changes. Makes use of phone features including contacts, calendar events, notifications. I’m learning to build an App Clip for it and hope to partner with some surgeons to get it promoted in their offices.
(2) Assisting older Americans to be more independent for a little longer (a parent of mine has early stage dementia). Helping the user maintain a regular schedule, take their medications on time.
(3) A dating ideas / meal ideas and agreement app. It helps increase creativity for date ideas, learns from how predictable you are, and facilitates agreement between the users.

I’m working on OpsOrch(https://www.opsorch.com/), an open-source orchestration layer that provides a single API across incidents, logs, metrics, tickets, messaging, and service metadata.
It sits on top of existing tools like PagerDuty, Jira, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, and Slack, and normalizes them into a shared schema. It doesn’t store operational data, it just brokers requests through pluggable adapters and returns unified structures.
The motivation came from incident response workflows that still require hopping across multiple vendor UIs and APIs with different auth models and query languages. Instead of another “single pane of glass,” this is meant to be a small, transparent glue layer.
On top of the core service, I’m also exposing everything via an MCP server so LLM agents can query incidents, metrics, and logs as typed tools without needing vendor-specific knowledge.
Currently open source, written mostly in Go and TypeScript. Still early, but usable with PagerDuty, Jira, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Slack, and mock providers. Feedback from SREs and infra folks has been very helpful so far.
At work I'm working on autonomous agents for web application testing, and in my spare time I've been taking some part-time evening courses at the local university for the first time.
Last term I did a course on nuclear weapons and disarmament (and learned to write my first ever academic report!)[0], and this term I'm just about to give a final presentation for an introductory life sciences course (actually just posted a runthrough recording [1]). Next term I'm hoping to get into a course about cosmology!

I'm working on ffl (https://github.com/nuwainfo/ffl), an Actually Portable Executable (APE) that turns any file or folder into a secure P2P HTTPS link via WebRTC.
Like llamafile, it's built on Cosmopolitan Libc. Getting the full Python stack + WebRTC to run as a single APE binary was incredibly tricky to pull off, but the result is super convenient. I mainly built it to solve the pain of moving large files (logs, DB dumps) in and out of containers—now it's just one command.
The repo has a demo showing a round-trip transfer between Windows (x64) and Android (arm64) using the same binary. I hope you give it a try!
I started this over the summer when I was moving to a new house and wanted to document the family history behind some thing I own. It's turned out to be more useful than I thought and I've expanded the features as friends found it useful. A developer friend, who I used to work with, joined me and we're both working on it now. It does have a little revenue now but we are far from quitting our day jobs.
I'd really like any feedback from the HN community!
https://PostalAgent.com – Send personalized postcards online.
Upload a CSV or circle neighborhoods on Google Maps to build your address list (consumers or businesses). Printing and postage included in one price.
In the last 30 days I've added an API plus integrations for Pipedrive, Zoho, and Follow Up Boss. If anyone wants to help test these new integrations, I'll set you up on a special plan and let you send mail at my cost (roughly the price of a stamp).
I'm trying to recreate https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/ but in Zig, will probably have to face shit metric ton of hate after finishing it due to probably some mistakes and sharing them online in form of a guide, but I'm doing it to learn myself, hope that project will improve by people posting issues or simply forking the project when I will finish it.
An AI coding tool desktop application written in Rust and Javascript. Cursor, Windsurf and etc uses too much memory on my machine. As an engineer it is important that the tools I use daily are performant and fast and I could use while watching a youtube video or browse hackernews.
While working on the tool I am building some boilerplates to start from, starting with mobile games targeting arcade games like Flappy Bird.
A Civil 3D plugin (Genabler) that will include all the network catalogs and collate the Civil 3D styles for civil engineers to use. There are some out-of-the-box catalogs and styles shipped with the default installation, but they are quite limited and fairly well hidden—which is not surprising, given that Civil 3D is a huge beast. As a result, they are not commonly used. When people think about Civil 3D, they often assume it requires BIM modelers (in a sense, just glorified drafters) to create all the necessary catalogs and styles, and to assist with their use.
My Civil 3D plugin will:
1. Make standard, market-compliant catalogs and polished styles available to engineers at large. Think of it as the WordPress theme provider equivalent.
2. Make the entire process easy and painless through the plugin, with prominent buttons for quick access.
If the plugin is done well, there will be less need for BIM modelers, since for a fee, engineers could simply purchase catalogs and styles that are so easy to use they require no technical training.
As a side benefit, I also get to explore how LLMs can help me write code. It has been a while since I last updated my AI usage policy [0], and I look forward to revisiting it.
I'm working on a charitable donation tracker for taxpayers. My wife and I used Intuit's ItsDeductible for years until it shut down in October. With a little encouragement, I built Charity Record.
The stack is Django 5.2 (I know, I know, I'm looking at 6 now), Postgres, and HTMX + Alpine.js for interactivity. I'm using Polar for subscriptions. It's running on the $12/mo DigitalOcean droplet.
Trickiest parts so far: TXF export (we can trace TXF back to the 1990s...) and PDF generation. At one point when working on PDFs, WeasyPrint was deadlocking a single-worker setup because it fetched the logo via HTTP. (Base64-embedding the logo got me past that, ha.)
Happy to answer questions about the app or running Django lean - I've got a few longer running Django projects.
I'm trying to make a neural audio codec using a variety of misguided methods. One I am using ESNs wrong spreading leak rates in a logarithmic fashion acting like a digital cochlea. The other is trying to do the same with a complex mass-spring-damper system to simulate the various hairs of the cochlea as well. Both approaches make super interesting visuals and appear to cluster reasonably well, but I am still learning about RVQ and audio loss (involves GANs and spectral loss). I kinda wanna beat SNAC if I can.

A tool for searching, filtering and chatting with the "What are you working on?" posts. Also has a visual map (UMAP) that clusters similar things together. Useful if you want to find specific things or better understand themes.
Building https://floxtop.com, a native Mac app that organizes your files.
It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you.
Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.
It works in 50 languages (including English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish) and with images (OCR and object recognition), PDFs, Microsoft Office, ePubs, text, Markdown, and many other file types.
If you have messy folders anywhere on your Mac, Floxtop can help.
This week I vibe coded an golem-forge (https://github.com/zby/golem-forge) - exploration of prompting as programming. Since then I found https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono and https://github.com/johnlindquist/mdflow and I think I'll rather use these existing tools to explore my idea. But I think it might be still interesting project because it is entirely vibe-coded - I don't even know Typescript (I know some Javascript from before React - but none of the new stuff). I did not look into the Typescript code at all - only at what the LLM presented to me when editing it and the docs. At some point I discovered that when I tried to have a core logic and two UI packages the LLM put only types in the core package - so I had drive a hard refactoring - but it worked.
I haven't yet tried this very extensively - but another profound change in programming that this showed me is that it is now very easy to borrow parts of Open Source libraries. It used to be that you could only base your work on a library - borrowing parts of projects that were not designed to be shared (used as libraries) was prohibitive - but with llms it is entirely possible to say: "now please borrow the UI ideas from project X" and it does that. Maybe you need to add some planning.
The project is about 27kloc now.
I'm working on https://wireplug.org: A simple, free, and open source connectivity coordinator for WireGuard. Basically a way to keep WireGuard tunnels connected while moving between different access points. It handles (basic) NAT traversal and works with the in-kernel WireGuard driver on Linux and OpenBSD.
You can find the technical details at https://wireplug.org
I'm working on adding an API and WhatsApp integration to my scam / AI detection tool - https://legitornot.co.za
A personal photography website for myself using a bunch of AI services to enable automatic tagging, color extraction, and hopefully some novel discovery methods.
I really like the color discovery features - I wanted something like this to exist when I was trying to find prints for my house with specific color harmonies.
Perhaps a bit off-base, but...I'm writing another novel! It's the long-awaited sequel to this (post-apocalyptic sci-fi if you're curious): https://www.amazon.com/Viscount-2213-Post-Apocalyptic-Surviv...
I've had the idea sitting in my notes for years now. It waited patiently until I could get back to it.
I’m working on a modern transactional email API platform. Developers can bring their own AWS SES keys and freely use their own domains for sending emails.
I’m building it on Cloudflare Workers with advanced tracking, modern templates, and advanced webhook integration. Developers can also configure and schedule advanced workflows for their specific needs
The users can review their usage and performance using an intuitive dashboard.
Email is a crowded space and this is my first attempt at doing something indie at this scale. Wish me luck!
Trying to rebuild my website (php mvc built a decade ago) using Django. I want to be able to update any page content, upload and display images, have multiple blog instances. I do a lot of django-cms by day, but it's too much for a small personal website, so I started to create a (tiny, foss) CMS based on Django, django-prose-editor for the content, and some new apps (for now, Page & Blog).
The site isn't even online, but for now I'm starting to think about the next steps (seo-related things to implement, generalize app functions to handle not only blog but other (hypothetical) apps as well, improve code quality and repo readability, separate apps from the website so anyone can add them to their django website if they want to). It's a lot of work for something no one will ever use, but I must at least try to make it clean and discoverable :)
Working on my language learning app (Python, tkinter) "Xiaolong Dictionary"[0]
It is supposed to implement all kinds of features, that I usually miss in vocabulary learning applications, such as a very powerful search function, and the ability to add arbitrary tags, a table of words, and learning progress statistics (not yet implemented).
It has minimalistic dependencies. Currently the only non-development dependency it has is jsonschema.
I keep the configuration of the application in a JSON file. This configuration already allows to configure many things, like for example the various learn levels, and what their meaning in terms of the spaced repetition system is, which attributes of a word will be revealed in what order, when practicing, what attributes to show in the columns of the vocabulary table, and what font to use for the big character display widget (useful for languages like Chinese).
It's AGPL, so feel free to fork, but adhere to the license.
A side project for my side project: I built my own static site generator with React islands architecture and MDX support, using Bun. (Build your site from .mdx files, output only html+css, progressively hydrate the client with React only as needed).

Last night I decided to take a break from the digital world and started on making a guitar. Leaning towards something in the style of Lacôte[0] but not sure, ordered a book on Vicente Arias[1] and might order a couple other plans to consider. Have a fair amount of stock prep to do before I have to commit to a design and will probably need to order a few sticks of wood as well, so probably have ~two weeks to make up my mind.

I'm making a cat themed puzzle game for my wife using NiceGUI, MindAR and some cat shaped sticky notes. Each note has a name and a secret code. I've hidden 20 of these around the house. I set up a single page app in NiceGUI to display a grid of the lost cats. When you click one it'll display their name, a clue to its hiding spot and an optional hint. 5 of the puzzles use MindAR that will display AR image cards over different art pieces and book covers in our house. I have the NiceGUI page and MindAR set up on one of my Proxmox LXCs that I use for various Flask servers.
Currently working on Klugli - Educational app for German primary school kids (Grades 1-4).
Parents set up accounts, kids log in with simple codes and work through curriculum-aligned Math and German exercises. Built with Elixir/Phoenix/Ash and LiveView.
The hard part isn't the tech - it's creating content that actually maps to the German school curriculum rather than generic "educational" fluff. Currently grinding through grade 2 math topics.
Started working on an application to make it easy to see what parcels in NYC are upzoned with the City of Yes[1] changes that were passed last year.
I started off trying to make it a service to help people who are interested in ADU's get connected with architects/ contractors but spent a lot of time working on the interactive map to explore related ideas. The site is here buildbound.xyz and map here buildbound.xyz/map. Right now for example, it's very hard to tell if your site qualifies for the TOD upzoning portion of the City of Yes so maybe there is room to crunch those kind of numbers and provide it as a public service.
Trying to decide to keep going down the ADU route in NYC, even though the market is really early here, expand to NY State/ California where the ADU market is a bit further along or keep doubling down on making the best interactive zoning/ land use map in NYC and see if there is any product market fit to be found.

I've been working on a weightlifting logging app for the apple watch. I haven't submitted it yet since I am still beta testing, but I'm mostly feature complete.
It's intended to be anti-memetic, and anti-guilt trip. Just put it on your watch, install a program (open format) and you never need the phone itself. Your workout is a holiday from your phone.
The data can be exported if you want to use it elsewhere.
I originally made it for ROCKNIX but as there was no way to share the app I paid the Apple tax :/
