I've been building a wellness app for my own family, and most of the work has been removing things.
Every app I tried to get my parents onto assumes you already exercise. My grandfather is not going to open that. So a lot of decisions went the other way from the obvious:
No streaks. A broken streak makes people quit and the person I'm building for will break it in week two, then never come back.
No leaderboards. The moment my mother sees she's behind her son, she stops. Comparison motivates the people who were already fine.
Most wellness apps are built for someone who already exercises.
This one is for a household — including people who'd never download a fitness app. Tell it about injuries, conditions and the equipment you have, and it builds a plan from fixed rules — then shows what it left out and why. Low-impact because of a knee.
Meals come from what's already in your kitchen. Everyone picks what their family sees.
No account needed.
Add to your home screen and it runs like an app.
