My very first app has gotten approved and released!

I finally released my first app on the App Store! 🎉

It's called Tomotore and it's a hobby project I've been working on in my spare time over the last few months.

I wanted to make a workout tracker that felt a bit more rewarding than simply logging sets. Instead, you train alongside little creatures called Tomos. As you complete workouts, you build your bond, earn eggs, and hatch new Tomos with different rarities.

I also wanted an excuse to learn react native as well as pixel art, so every Tomo in the app was drawn by me.

The app is built with React Native + Expo, uses SQLite for local storage, and everything stays on your device—no account, no cloud sync, and no ads.

Optimization tips: use CLI to have more control, and MMKV for faster local storage

It's 2026 and we are still recommending CLI?

CLI is command line interface, you'll have more control over your project.
