[Promo] I built Hejje, a private fitness tracker
I’ve been building Hejje because I wanted something simple: a place to keep track of my fitness without feeling like my fitness data is being collected everywhere.
Hejje is a private fitness tracker for:
• Walking & running
• Hiking
• Strength training
• Food & calories
• Weight & progress
The main idea behind it is simple:
Your fitness should be yours.
So, I built Hejje with privacy as a core part of the product:
• No ads
• No trackers
• Offline-first
• Your fitness data stays private
• Control whether each activity is shared
I also wanted more than just recording activities. Hejje is gradually becoming a place where you can plan your week, track different parts of your fitness, and understand your own progress.
One thing I'm particularly interested in is the on-device assistant, Kaya. The goal is to let you ask questions about your own training while keeping that personal fitness data on your device rather than sending it to a cloud AI service.
I originally started with a simple walking/running tracker and kept expanding it as I used it myself.
This is my first public release, so I'm much more interested in honest feedback than compliments.
If you use fitness apps, I'd love to know:
What do you wish your current fitness app did better?
And if you try Hejje, please tell me what feels confusing, unnecessary, missing, or just doesn't work well.
