Bearly Fit - Dev Log - 03.10.2025

I have mostly been improving the quick menu!

The quick menu is accessed through the home screen, it gives you quick access to add different types of logs.

People always ask me "Why the Teddy Bear"

When I built Bearly Fit I had a few core problems I wanted to solve.

1. Control of my data
2. Completely offline
3. To log exercise/nutrition/body in one app
4. An app that wouldn't shame me and doesn't take itself seriously

I feel like £3k alone is like 3 years at a decent gym and classes.

I never understood the point of Pelotons

Investors occasionally approach me about @bearly.fit

And each time I've rejected it.

You can build something fast if you just throw money at it.
But building something amazing - takes time.

The tech world has enjoyed easy and cheap investment for many years.

Today on Bearly Fit!

I have been working hard on reports for Life Logs!

For a day, week, month / year you can

- Compare your weight, mass etc
- See injuries easily
- Get charts for each measurement
- See all your logs, grouped by month

Month 10 of Building in public!

I wanted to take a slightly different approach to these posts.

So I'll start sharing more detailed stats, give better insight into the bigger "building in public" picture and possibly do a write up which goes into even more detail.

I decided to apply to Apple for an app nomination.

Not everyone knows why I chose the cute bear, so if you're interested.

Here's the why :)

Alright so I f**ed up....

Yesterday's release broke the app for new users...
But look! I've fixed it!

This small patch will fix
- Crash for new users preventing the app from loading
- One UI 7.0 bug causing the status bar to overlap the navigation

Sorry... love you...

Android 1.3 is now rolling out!

This should fix a bunch of UI and performance issues as well as introduce Automatic exercise updates (if you opt in) and the start of home screen widgets.

We should be live on iOS soon and then my priorities are....

1.2 is now live!

This should include most of the bug fixes, 50 new exercises and a couple new features people asked for!

If you find any other issues, or have a feature you'd like to see please share :)

Happy Friyay everyone!

Sorry 1.2 is taking a bit of time to release,
we're waiting patiently on Google!

You'll be able to Run soon, I promise.

Next release i'll make it easier to get exercise updates without waiting for store approval.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Crazy how far we've come.

I'm fairly sure this was my first post about @bearly.fit.

I still started building both the app and the brand back in 2023.
Even if the bulk of the work didn't actually start for a full year later.
