The Take

Photo-to-macros logging and a context-aware workout engine are the project's real selling points — snapping a meal instead of digging through a database and having workouts adapt to your current equipment are tangible time-savers. The landing page is clean and trustworthy, but there’s no evidence on the page about CV accuracy, model safety, or sample workout flows; those are the two things that will make or break this in practice.

Fitness enthusiasts who track macros and strength training, personal trainers, and people who want a single app to log meals and adaptive workouts

Post Description

Hey HN,

I’m the solo developer behind FitverseHub.

I built this because my fitness "stack" was a mess. I was using one app for heavy lifting logs, another for tracking macros, and a third for finding routines. The context switching was annoying, and most calorie trackers require too much manual data entry to be sustainable long term.

I wanted a single, optimized workflow that handles the math for both energy in (nutrition) and energy out (training).

How it solves the fragmentation:

Computer Vision for Food: Instead of searching databases, you snap a photo. The AI identifies the food and estimates volume/macros instantly. It’s designed to be the fastest way to log a meal, drastically reducing the friction of tracking.

Dynamic Workout Logic: Rather than static PDFs or generic lists, the workout engine adapts to the equipment you actually have available right now (e.g., if you're stuck in a hotel gym vs. your home setup) and handles progressive overload automatically.

Unified Data: Because both inputs live in one system, the app can theoretically offer better recommendations (though right now, it simply keeps your data clean and in one

Offer for HN: I’m looking for feedback specifically on the workflow speed and the AI scanner accuracy. The app is free to download, but to test the full "Pro" features (unlimited scans/AI coaching), use code FITVERSE for a free month.

(Alternatively, you can subscribe to the yearly trial and cancel immediately in Apple Settings to keep the access duration without being charged).
