Makers/Creators: What do you think about blending a PH launch with content for social media?
Hi all! Lately the Maker/Creator model is becoming more and more popular. I am one such example. I create content for Instagram and TikTok on the subject of fitness and health and have just launched my fitness app here on PH. I got featured and was ranked 9th product for the day, which I am very happy about. I would like to make some content about my experience here on PH and would love to...
Answering all your questions about health trackers - AMA with CEO of Movitalis
Hi everyone! I am the CEO of Movitalis, an activity tracker focused on longevity. I am here to make noise about my upcoming launch and provide as much value as I can in the process. While building this product I got to learn a lot about activity trackers, important and useless metrics, common mistakes and hidden gems. I've also learnt what the science has to say about these metrics and...
How are you balancing work and health as a busy professional?
I sometimes feel like health and work is a zero sum game. When I focus on one, the other tends to suffer, making it hard to keep my progress. However, I know that staying healthy will actually help me be more productive in the long run, decreasing my risk of getting sick, improving my mental and cognitive health. In these past few years I've learnt from my mistakes and there's 2 main lessons I...
Who Here Creates Content Alongside Their Product?
I've been thinking a lot about the power of content when building a product. Gary Vee always talks about personal brand, and I see more founders using content to build an audience and create trust—way before their product takes off. I’ve been doing this myself by sharing educational content about fitness and health, which also helps introduce people to Movitalis (an activity tracker focused on...
The “One More Feature” Trap – When Do You Stop Adding?
You know that feeling when you think, “Just one more feature, and it’ll be perfect”? Yeah… same. I’ve been stuck in this loop more times than I’d like to admit. There’s always something that feels almost essential—until you step back and realise you might never actually launch if you keep going. At some point, you have to ask: 👉 Does this really make the product better, or just bigger? 👉 Will...
Can an iOS-only app be successful?
Hi everyone! I’m launching Movitalis soon—an activity tracker app focused on longevity, currently available only on iOS. The most common question I get is: “When will it be available on Android?” And, unfortunately, my honest answer is: “I don’t know”. Here's why: Movitalis relies on Apple Health to keep all user data local and secure. Since most fitness devices and apps sync with Health, it...
Did you know your smartwatch tracks your VO2 max - and why you should care
Hi all! Movitalis is launching soon and I want to talk about one of the most important fitness indicators that is readily available but flies under the radar for most of us: VO2 max. Most smartwatches nowadays estimate this value pretty well, but they don't do a good enough job at presenting it to the user. On Apple Watch it is hidden under Apple Health > Heart > Cardio Fitness and on Garmin...
What fitness app do you use the most, and why? 🏃🏻♂️
Hi all! Movitalis is an activity tracker focused on longevity and it is launching soon. Until then I want to see what other cool fitness apps people love. 👀 The app I use the most (besides Movitalis ofc) is probably @Strava , they just nail it with the statistics and the community, it's really fun to see what your friends are up to (and sometimes a bit scary that you can know what heart rate...
Why you should be tracking your VO2 max - and how to do it better
Hi all! Movitalis is launching soon and I want to talk about one of the most important but under appreciated fitness indicators: VO2 max. While it did become more popular lately it is still not widely known that VO2 max is an amazing indicator of overall health and predictor of longevity. In one study of over 1 million participants, a low VO2 max was linked with a 3-5x increase in overall...

Are we overcomplicating everything with AI?
I cannot help but notice that 3/4 products launched have AI in the description. AI is amazing, but is it really always necessary? For example in my niche, Health & Fitness, most apps try to use as many data points as possible and use AI to give you the “optimal workouts”. That sounds good on paper, but actually I think most people would benefit more from a simple structure that is easy to...
