Hey folks,
Thanks for checking out BodyWise! I'm Co-founder and responsible for product-design and keeping the lights on. BodyWise is a health & fitness tracker that educates, motivates and assists in creating a healthier lifestyle. Where other apps focus on specific tasks and some do it very well, we felt that nothing hits the mark of mixing diet, activity and lifestyle habit accountability in a powerful way. It's bootstrapped down in Australia by myself and my old friend and co-founder David Banks (a personal trainer).
This is our third version. The short story is that we were one of the first Quantified Self apps back a few years ago before we even knew of that term. We started out wanting to track specific habits and things that we had to otherwise track in a journal (body measurements, caffeine intake, mood, etc.) so we could get a better picture of whether what we were doing was working. It was quite manual and had big user churn. We built version 2 and tried to make a huge app on a bootstrapped budget. Of course we ended up with a lot of features, but none of them executed well.
Version 3 is much more polished (and reliable). We wanted to be able to open it and get an accurate sense of my health-related actions that day at a very quick glance. We also knew that no-one was going to track and lose weight, wake up feeling more energetic or generally feel better about themselves without diet tracking, so we rethought diet tracking to a tap based UI where you log food groups rather than specific foods which so many find exhaustive and hard to stick with.
We've tried to solve some of the problems associated with gathering large amounts of health data in a unique way. I'm around if anyone has any questions or feedback.
Thanks!
Mike
