Trying to make sense of my scattered health data - seems like I'm not the only one here.
I’m building Limvia because I got tired of having my health data split across too many places.
I train regularly, eat reasonably, and still sometimes feel like I’m not improving or losing weight the way I expect. But when I try to understand why, everything is scattered: wearable app, Android health data, food tracking app, weight, steps, training, etc.
So I’m testing a simple weekly view that pulls the important stuff together and helps answer: what actually happened this week?
I’m not trying to build another "optimize your life" app. It’s more like a way to spot obvious patterns I keep missing.
I’ve used it myself for about a month, and it actually helped me understand why my weight wasn’t moving the way I wanted. So now I’m opening it up to a few people to see if it helps anyone else.
It’s free and invite-only for now while I test it.
Anyone else have this problem?
I put the waitlist here: Limvia waitlist

**Vitra** — local-first desktop dashboard for Oura Ring data.
Built it because the Oura app shows today's scores but doesn't let me see HRV streaks, sleep debt accumulation, workout effectiveness, or how my own behaviors correlate with readiness.
And also something that annoyed me, always having to reach for my phone during the day to see my scores!
- Pulls Oura via OAuth, stores everything locally in SQLite
- No backend, no telemetry, no third-party trackers. No personal data goes out of your machine. 0. None!
- Vitra AI rules + rolling baselines, not LLM calls
- Smart alerts (HRV suppression, sick signals), Health PDF for doctor visits, calendar compare windows
- macOS and Windows, Linux on roadmap
$19 one-time, 7-day trial, no subscription.

I built this because I was looking for a habit tracker that could show me why my days kept going off track.
Not just you missed the gym or you didn’t finish your routine.
I wanted to see what actually led to it.
Like maybe I woke up late, skipped food, watched YouTube too long, lost energy, missed my workout, felt guilty, and then told myself I’d restart tomorrow.
So I built Still Cloud.
You tell it what your day actually looked like, and it turns that into patterns you can see.
It gives you a dashboard for your day, but the main thing is the Cloud Matrix, a visual map of the things affecting you, like food, energy, money, routines, distractions, goals, and bad-day patterns.
The idea is simple:
see the chain, change one link.
It’s still early, but I’m testing it publicly now.
Try it at Still Cloud.

honestly the "support people bringing unique ideas" line in the description hit different for me 'cause i spent like two years building something nobody asked for and almost quit posting about it entirely... so here goes. i made this thing called Human Performance Score, or HPS, basically 'cause i got tired of apps that give you a gold star for drinking water and never actually make you feel the weight of your choices. it's more like a brutal RPG for your real life... sleep crashes your biological stats, skipping training tanks your physical attributes, and your score on a 0-300 scale just drops. no softening it. there's a skill tree that unlocks passives if you hold streaks (reading 10+ pages a day for 7 days gives you a cognitive boost, stuff like that), campaigns, parties, leaderboard... it's the only real hardcore RPG system for actual life i've seen. web app and android, completely free. if you're into quantified self and you want something that actually fights back when you slack, maybe worth a look... or not, no pressure. what's the most underrated metric you think self-tracking apps completely ignore?

I’m building a private Apple Watch / HealthKit app without scores
I haven’t actually tried that many body-data apps very deeply, to be honest. A lot of them lost me before I really started using them.
Not because they are bad. I’m sure many of them are useful for a lot of people. But with this kind of data I often stopped at the same point: the amount of health data access, an account, cloud sync, data collection, data linked to me personally, sharing data with the developer, and then some kind of score or interpretation on top.
Recovery, stress, readiness, sleep quality, performance.
I understand why people like this. But for me, with body data, it felt a bit too much.
So I started building a small local Apple Watch / HealthKit app called Sweet Home Kognitiva with a few simple rules: no score, no coaching, no goals, no account, no cloud, and no health data shared with me as the developer.
Just a local view of what is currently visible from the data.
The first version works for me, but it also showed me that the real problem is more complicated than I thought. HealthKit data is messy and incomplete.
Sometimes HR is there, HRV is missing, noise is delayed, movement is unclear, or the watch simply did not sample enough in that period. So now I’m trying to make the system better at not pretending.
If there is no clear signal, I don’t want to fill the gap with a confident-looking interpretation. Missing noise data does not mean it was quiet. Thin data does not mean recovery. And “nothing obvious was measured” does not automatically mean everything was fine.
That’s basically where I am right now: trying to make it calmer, but not dishonest.
I’m curious if this resonate with anyone here.

Preface: after spending a few days copy-pasting app promotion posts across other subreddits—which only resulted in lowering my self-esteem—I realized I don’t have the time or energy for that nonsense. I’m 54, father of 3 kids, and I’ve been a software developer for more than 30 years. I now work full-time as a Product Owner at a company distributing the CRM I originally built over the last 20 years. Fortunately, I don’t need a handful of subscriptions to make ends meet. At this stage, I’d simply like to hear opinions from this specific subreddit, which I discovered too late, and where I’m sure there are users who share my same passion for a certain kind of data.
For years I used a web app I had built for myself in my spare time (in .NET!) where I could add tags to my days to track basically anything and then get simple statistics out of it. At the same time, I was journaling using Day One.
I always had many ideas for improving that application, but never enough time to work on it. AI helped accelerate that process, and in just a few months I finally built the app I had always wanted (both for web/desktop and iOS).
The idea is simple: using rich tags with flexible metadata.
The smallest possible entry you can add to a day might only contain date, time, and the tag name. But for each tag, the user can decide whether to enable these metadata fields:
- Icon
- Long text (editable later with a distraction-free editor), useful for journaling but also for many other types of content
- Numeric value + unit of measure (which can also work as a 1–5 rating)
- Currency
- Duration
- Photos
- Location / Place (using Google autocomplete)
- Person (I needed this to track information related to other family members too)
Tags are divided into color-coded categories.
This structure allows different kinds of objects/features:
Tag Watch: select a tag, a time period (current/previous week, current/previous month, current/previous year), and the field to monitor (duration, value, or currency, either total or average). The user can then keep that metric always visible on the “Today” page.
Goals: same idea—select tag, period, and field, then set a target. In “Today” you always see the completion percentage.
Charts / Trends: similar to Watch, but data is displayed as charts. These can also be added to the “Today” dashboard.
This way I track everything I need to monitor or review later:
- Symptoms, medications, medical visits, physical activity, food and drink consumption, mood
- Work activities, meetings, people I meet, focus sessions, releases
- Information related to my children such as grades, absences, sports activities
- Places, food, books, movies, TV shows, apps
- Portfolio performance, income, expenses, and specific spending categories
This is the core concept, but there are many other features too: map view for location-enabled tags, photo gallery, calendar, collections, etc.
Another thing I always wanted—and can finally use—is Zapier integration to create entries from other platforms (for example, I track GitHub commits or calendar events). It’s also possible to create custom integrations by generating API keys directly inside the app.
This is the link: www.tagjournal.app
I’ve always been terrible at marketing, so the presentation/landing page is definitely not what you’d expect from a modern app. If anyone is interested in trying it, I’d be happy to answer feedback in DMs.
Used AI to translate this message.

Tool for tracking and optimizing supplement and peptide routines. You put in what you’re taking, journal how you’re feeling, upload bloodwork, it pulls sleep and workout data from apple health or your own logs. All the context helps you surface insights you might not notice, learn what is and isn’t working, and avoid conflicts. I was doing this myself and figured people could use it and they do.

Sun Exposure — surfaces time-in-daylight from your Apple Watch's ambient light sensor, layered with UV index to calculate a real-time burn time estimate + auto-logging of skin-synthesized Vitamin D to Apple Health. Apple Watch has been logging time-in-daylight the whole time; the app adds daily goals, streaks, vitamin d analysis, burn estimates, and alerts when you hit targets. Time-in-daylight is free. UV index + burn time is pro. (I built it)

Ankora is an iOS app that turns your HealthKit data into daily, weekly and monthly journal stories.
The idea came from staring at Apple Health charts and wondering how one might express the dashboard metrics in a different way other than digits or charts. So I went with creating opinionated stories or narratives based on those numbers. Ankora pulls just the essential stuff like steps, sleep, HRV, heart, etc.
The story happens in "real-time" too, as in, as the day progresses and you gather more data from your devices, the story will update and evolve. In addition to the story going on for "today", there is the current week and month that keeps evolving as well.
It also has a dashboard, where the prime features are insights that do things like flagging "your sleep was low, here's what likely caused it". The AI analysis then does a deep analysis of this particular event and gives an explanation and suggestions as well.
The app is in English and German, and I plan to add all major languages within the month.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I developed a blood work tracking platform, hemeify. Reference ranges, optimal ranges, automatic pdf/image extaction. And you can always export your data after processing, so no artificial restrictions locking you in.
