    My new iOS app: Treeceps – A magical fitness world where everything relates to your daily activity and training (featured by Apple in "Apps We Love Right Now") + Apple-inspired reveal video

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:41 AM PST

    This is a moment I've been looking forward to for the last three years: My new app Treeceps is now available on the App Store!

    Working out - to me has always felt like leveling up yourself: With every workout, you gain a little bit of strength. And I always wished there was an app where this analogy becomes a reality. With Treeceps this dream comes true. Go on your own fitness adventure in a lively world where everything relates to your activity and training!

    In Germany/Switzerland/Austria Treeceps is currently featured by Apple in "Apps We Love Right Now". 🎉

    Download Treeceps on the App Store

    I made an Apple-inspired reveal video that tells you all about Treeceps:

    Introducing Treeceps (YouTube Video)

    Why did you make Treeceps?

    I've never been the kind of guy that loved sports. I hated PE in school, I didn't really enjoy team sports that much… But I always liked the thought of continuously improving myself. And I loved playing Pokémon, Maple Story other RPGs, especially during my childhood! Leveling up always felt very fulfilling to me. When I fell in love with strength training and transforming my body, I noticed why I loved it so much: Working out - to me has always felt like leveling up yourself: With every workout, you gain a little bit of strength. From this moment on, I always wished there was an app, where this analogy becomes a reality. Treeceps makes this dream come true!

    Most strength training apps are either

    1. Casual - easy to use, fun (guided circuit training, e.g. Seven) but only really effective for beginners
    2. Advanced - harder to use (require familiarity with training, e.g. Strong) but a lot more effective Users of casual apps often don't feel advanced apps are for them. - Fearing they don't have the experience, equipment, or are intimidated by the bodybuilder-like style.

    Treeceps bridges this gap: Aiming to be at least as accessible and fun as the best casual apps, while being as effective as the best advanced apps. Experienced users find everything they wish for and more. - In a unique, gamified world. Beginners are put on a journey, learning strength training, based on scientific evidence, in a friendly world, rep by rep.

    Features of Treeceps

    To get into great shape by working out, you need to do two things: 1.) Be active and get lean. 2.) Get strong and build muscle.

    Treeceps helps you achieve both of these goals. By going on your own fitness adventure in a lively world where everything relates to your training.

    • No experience required: Treeceps will teach you how to perform real, effective strength training, rep by rep

    Built from the ground up with Apple Technologies

    Since this is r/Apple I'd like to highlight that Treeceps is available exclusively for iOS and built from the ground up with Apple Technologies

    • Core Motion: Real time steps
    • HealthKit: Progress with Apple Watch
    • Game Center, SpriteKit, iOS 13 Dark Mode and more

    Background of Treeceps

    My name is Joe, I'm a 24 year old iOS developer from Germany. Although I spent almost everyday of the last three years life developing Treeceps, it never felt like work to me! In many ways Treeceps is the culmination of everything that I ever loved doing.

    Treeceps also integrates with my gamified weight tracking app Scelta.

    For my Human Computer Interaction bachelor thesis I developed and evaluated the step tracking feature of Treeceps. My goal was to find the best way to employ gamification, the use of game design elements in non-game contexts, to promote physical activity. To achieve this, I looked at findings from many related research papers from Psychology, Health research and Human Computer Interaction. In an experiment I was able to show that Treeceps did indeed increase daily activity to a higher degree than a quantified control group app that I also developed. The thesis was graded 1.0 (A+).

    Now, after finishing my Human Computer Interaction Bachelor, it's my biggest goal to make a living of developing Treeceps one day. I have so many ideas for the future and I think the story of Treeceps has only just begun.

    Be sure to let your friends & family know about Treeceps and share the app with anyone who might be interested. It means the world to me! If you have any questions, suggestions, just let me know. You can also contact me via email in the settings tab of Treeceps. I'm happy to hear from you!

    P.S.: Press Info

    If you're a journalist or blogger and would like to write about Treeceps, I have prepared a Press Kit on my website for you to make your job as easy as possible. It includes a pdf with a review guide, marketing images, raw screenshots for iPhone and iPad and the app icon. If you need anything else feel free to contact me at [idee@joewaldow.de](mailto:idee@joewaldow.de)

    May the gains be with all of you! 🌳💪

    Zipnote | The simplest and fastest note taking experience. (iOS)

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 04:51 PM PST

    Zipnote on the App Store

    Zipnote is an app that is designed to allow you to take notes as fast as possible. It's as simple as opening the app, typing, and forgetting about it. As soon as you open the app you are already typing and as soon as you finish, your notes are saved automatically, so there is no need to ever worry about your notes getting lost. Have you ever been in a situation where you want to write something down really quick but you can't physically write it down? I've been in this situation a countless amount of times. Usually I resort to just sending a text to myself so I have it written down somewhere. But now there is a dedicated app just for that, and it's much faster than even sending a text to yourself. And as soon as your done with the note you can simply delete it; and it's gone forever.

    Zipnote also has several other features that could be useful for different situations. You can export your notes into different apps or even share them directly to your contacts. There is also an option to set up a reminder for your notes, so you will never forget about what is important to you. And if you're using Zipnote for something more personal, you can even secure your notes with a password. To get the best experience with Zipnote you also have the option to use Face ID / Touch ID as an alternative to your password, so you can keep your notes secure without the cost of more hassle, and you can use the app just as fast.

    If you're someone that has a hard time reading text on your phone then Zipnote is also perfect for you. Zipnote has accessibility options that allow you to make the text bolder so it's easier to see, or even just make the text bigger overall. So you can use Zipnote more comfortably. And of course, you can use both of these features simultaneously.

    Zipnote is the perfect app for any kind of note taking. Although it's designed for quick notes, it can be used for anything, like grocery lists, reminders, school notes, and especially those things that you need to write down in a hurry, like your spouses order for a restaurant. And the best part about things like that is when your done with it you can easily delete it and never see it again. No need to make another note just for things you really don't need, or even send yourself a text.

    I would really appreciate it if you would try out Zipnote and tell me what you think. I'd also be very grateful if you would be so kind to leave a rating or review; it really helps me out more than you think. Thank you.

    [DEV] Slick, a new app designed for reading newsletters.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:28 AM PST

    Hey Reddit! I am looking for beta testers for my new app, Slick.

    Slick is a very simple app, it has one goal only - to curate all your newsletters in one place so it's easier to read them.

    Beta test on Google Play

    TestFlight with Apple App Store:

    As it is a beta release, I'm expecting it to be buggy, and the experience could probably be improved, but that's exactly why I'm launching it with you guys here. I am really hoping for actionable/constructive feedback/criticism, and I think the crowd here is best suited for that.

    Anyway, let's jump into some description of Slick and the rationale behind building this!

    How does Slick work?

    Sign up on Slick, and then you'll be issued a unique email that looks something like this:

    jonsnow@slickinbox.com

    Use that email to sign up for newsletters you come across, and then they'll start showing up in Slick, where the only goal is to make the newsletter reading experience good and focused.

    It looks something like this:

    https://imgur.com/a/mY4TqPE

    Why did I build Slick?

    I love consuming contents! I find it very intriguing to learn about what people are thinking, doing, or what is currently happening, so I love all forms of medium (articles, books, podcasts).

    I have so far managed to find a few nice ways to manage my stuff: Books go into GoodRead, articles go into Pocket, my podcasts go into Pocket Casts, but I realised I don't really have a dedicated place to read my newsletters.

    Traditionally, newsletters have always gone into your email inbox (well the electronic ones anyway!), and it worked really well because email is a great medium, but recently I'm finding more and more noise in my email inbox.

    For example, I usually dedicate around two times a week to read my newsletters, and before Slick, I usually have to surf through the sea of 50% promotions from various marketing emails before I can reach the newsletters I care about. I do like myself some good deals every now and then, but not when I am trying to consume quality contents.

    I probably could've taken the time to organize my newsletters into email folders and I suppose that'll really help, but I also could just build an app to take care of this. Guess which option I chose? :)

    Why newsletters?

    I love newsletters! I find that with the rise of connectivity in today's world we are drowned in waaay too much noise, I find myself often scrolling endlessly through Twitter or Facebook only to snap out an hour later reflecting on what I've learned (spoiler: nothing).

    But newsletters, however, they bring a different sense of clarity for me. I find that by subscribing to newsletters that I really care about, my quality of consumption has improved because the things that I subscribed to are relevant to me. Unlike Twitter where anyone can tweet in less than a minute, newsletter takes an awful lot amount of time to curate and share, and I deeply appreciate the effort that goes behind making those.

    Perhaps it's also because newsletters makers don't have to compete for clicks, but I find that there are less clickbaity/sensationalist titles..

    Some of my favourite newsletters:

    • James Clear's 3-2-1 James Clear, the author of the ever-popular (and incredibly helpful), Atomic Habit is sharing with us his wisdom in this short-form newsletter.

    In this newsletter he shares 3 ideas from him, 2 quotes from others, and 1 question that he leaves for the reader. The question is often very self-reflecting and I absolutely love how it constantly makes me reflect on my self.

    • Ness Labs/Anne-Laure Le Cunff In this newsletter, Anne-Laure curates the best resources around the internet and from her own learnings to share with us the neuroscience behind creativity and productivity. I am constantly learning something new from this newsletter!

    • Tim Ferris Tim just shares 5 cool things he's encountered in his past week, I find it really interesting to see what people like Tim read/do/encounter that makes them who they are. (I love the way Tim interviews his guests on podcasts!)

    I am a developer, so I also really enjoy newsletters from the programming community, things like ElixirWeekly, RubyWeekly, StatusCode etc. In fact, those are what started my journey into newsletters :)

    Some future features that I'm planning:

    Here are some of the features that I'm planning, but ultimately I think this is going to be largely based on the feedback I get from beta testing.

    • Better onboarding
    • Discovery
    • One-click unsubscribe
    • Favourite issues
    • Dark mode

    I built this thing entirely from scratch and by myself, so I really don't think I have all the answers to what the app should be. But I've built something that's currently working for me, and to further improve it now I need the community's help to chime in on the direction of the app, so I kindly ask you to provide as much as actionable feedback/constructive criticism as possible!

    On a final note, thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I can't tell you how excited I am to share this with you guys!
