Mo Free Apps

Moses. Software engineer since 2009, author, dad. I pair program with AI and ship free iPhone apps: no ads, no accounts, no tracking. Built in public.

I'm Moses. I've been a software engineer since 2009, and for about a year now I've been building small iPhone apps and giving them away. Six are on the App Store. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.

I build them with an AI pair programmer. I'm gonna show the whole thing here, the good and the bad.

Apps are at https://t.co/9pU2VgI3VI. There's a box there for telling me what to build next.

Gymini 3.0 is dark. Only dark. Every figure is rendered on charcoal with a green rim light, and a light theme means rendering all 173 again on white. I'd rather spend that on more movements. The About screen says it in one line: "Gymini is dark. It's a gym."

Gymini step two is done, the part that builds the workout. Tell it ten minutes, mobility, bad back, and it picks eight movements, none for the lower back, adding up to 600 seconds exactly. 91 tests. My favorite: a beginner is never handed an advanced move, however thin the pool.

The longer version, with the thirty second bug explained: https://t.co/qQqVGDYu4G

Gymini step three. It looks like the poster now. Clay figure, a countdown you can read from the floor, one green, nothing else lit. What broke: Pause froze the app for 30 seconds with every test green. One line fixed it. 30 seconds to 26 microseconds.

[Mo Free Apps @mofreeapps]

Gymini. To be honest with you I'm rebuilding it from scratch right now, so what's on the store today is the old paid version and the new one's gonna be free. Day one is done. I also lost a whole screen yesterday to a gitignore rule, so, you know, it's going great.

I'll give this a shot. Six free iPhone apps, no ads, no accounts, no tracking, pick whichever one you want. I'm curious what you do with growth potential though, because I'm not trying to get anything out of the people using them. That's sort of the whole idea. Let me know what you think.

[Mo Free Apps @mofreeapps]

Guess I'll participate. I've had a workout app on the store for two years, $6.99 a month, AI chat in it, the whole deal. I'm tearing it down to the name and rebuilding it free. No ads, no account, none of that. Got the bones running yesterday, a workout goes start to finish now. It looks like nothing yet, which is kind of the fun part. https://t.co/9pU2VgI3VI if you want to watch me do it.

[Mo Free Apps @mofreeapps]

There are 66 tests. I broke four of them on purpose to make sure they'd catch something. They did.

The design we're building toward: https://t.co/EfHS6LOUrQ

Day one of the Gymini rebuild. It's just the bones. A workout runs start to finish and lands in History with the minutes counted.

What broke: the wizard screen vanished from the first commit. I put it in the wrong folder.

[Mo Free Apps @mofreeapps]

Next app. Gymini is going free and getting rebuilt from the ground up, and I'm starting with the look.

Three directions, same workout. A is a dark studio. B is white with the figure in a card. C is a poster.

I'm leaning C. Talk me out of it.

@VORTEX_Promos @matthias_mrc Cursor was my first repo level coding agent so it holds a special place with me.....but you are right.

@pcshipp I didn't know Twitter paid anything. Interesting.
