June 27, 2026. Evening, and after midnight.
Where it stands
The PB Tracker app is right up there in the development cycle, so I might have to consider pushing it into Google Play Console with ads displayed and a pathway to make purchases. That’s my next step. It’s quite a convoluted step, but the app could do with its own personalized website domain name too.
A mate asked me today whether I’d put the PB Tracker online yet. I told him it’s the second app I’m pushing through. At the gym tonight I signed out of my usual audio recorder and used the PB Tracker’s recorder instead.
Competitor research
After midnight I asked Claude to do a competitor analysis to find where I fit in the market for fitness apps, look at what my app offers, and come up with the best name for it. It came back with a cool name, Liftmark, but when I checked, the dot com was already taken by another app.
It researched for eight minutes and came up with a long document: competitor analysis, positioning, naming, and a brochure site blueprint.
The research showed that my app does differentiate. The voice memos are something that’s not available in other apps. It’s a heavily voice featured app, which is actually good. Where I was falling behind was AI integration. It also picked up things I could add, such as a rest timer and a weight plate calculator, as long as they don’t bloat the app. My idea is to fold extra features into little dials or buttons so that I don’t introduce any new tabs or pages.
