Hey everyone!

I've spent the last few months building a daily habit app focused on testosterone optimization (science-backed habits that improve testosterone), and I'd love this sub's honest take.

Why gamification: we focus on giving the user 40+ science-backed habits so they're not guessing what works. The gamification is the layer on top because doing them daily is what actually moves the needle.

The mechanics:

• 18 Roman military ranks, Legionarius through Dux. Full arc is about 24 months. Ranks 1-13 take roughly a month each, the last 5 take two months. Multi-year game, not another 30-day reset.
• Forgiving streaks: 80% daily completion threshold instead of "miss one habit, lose everything." One missed habit doesn't reset you.
• XP from completions, weighted by each habit's testosterone impact (high-impact habits pay 30, low-impact pay 10). Impact based on how strongly the research shows that habit moves testosterone.
• Heatmap calendar colored by habit category, not a generic green grid.
• 40+ habits in the library, each with the science behind it, the protocol, and references to the source studies.

Where I'd love your take:

• Forgiving streaks vs hard streaks. Does the 80% rule kill the FOMO that makes streaks work, or is the "miss a few habits, all gone" model not the play?
• Long arcs (24 months to max rank) vs short cycles. Will users actually stick around for a 2-year journey?
• Roman military as the metaphor to "reclaim your masculinity" (know it's a stretch but wanted a unique element). Does it land for you?

It's called "THRIVE: Male Health Habits" on iOS. Got some first year premium codes if anyone wants to actually try it. Just comment and I'll DM, easier than dropping codes everywhere. Thanks in advance for your support + feedback :)

Hey folks,

Just shipped my first iOS app, THRIVE, after ~3 months of weekend building. It's a daily habit tracker built around 40+ peer-reviewed habits that help men naturally optimize their testosterone (eg. morning sunlight, heavy lifts, cold showers, ashwagandha, etc.).

Quick why: testosterone in men has been falling for decades, and the research on what actually moves it naturally is solid but buried across podcasts, articles, and medical reports.

The idea: pull all of it into one place, give you the protocol, the science, and the sources for each habit, then make it easy to actually run them daily.

Quick rundown:

• 40+ habits with the science, the protocol, the dose, and source studies on each one
• Habit calendar that looks like GitHub's contribution graph, color-coded per category
• Trends view across week, month, and 6 months
• 18 Roman ranks (Legionarius up to Dux) for those who lock in long-term

If you want to give it a shot, drop a comment below. Honest feedback on the onboarding flow and the habit library would mean a lot, and any other feedback is also super welcome!

Hey everyone 👋

I just launched my first iOS app and am stoked to finally share it after ~3 months of building (on weekends) and app store rejections.

THRIVE is a testosterone-optimization system for men who want to take their health seriously. The science on what actually moves testosterone naturally is solid, but it's scattered across podcasts, articles, and medical journals. THRIVE pulls 40+ peer-reviewed habits into one place, each with the protocol, the science, and references to source studies, so you can pick your stack and run it.

What's inside:

🧬40+ habits, each tied to peer-reviewed research on healthy testosterone (eg. morning sunlight, heavy compound lifts, cold showers, sauna, ashwagandha, magnesium before bed, daily steps, etc.)

📖 Each habit has its own deep-dive page covering the science, the protocol, the dose, and the sources

📊 A discipline calendar that looks like GitHub's contribution graph, color-coded per habit category

📈 Trends view with week, month, and 6-month windows to see where you're consistent and where you slip

No ads. No social feed. No AI chatbot. Just THRIVE.

👉 If you want to try it out, leave an upvote and comment below and I will share you a code for your first year for FREE!

I'd love to hear feedback from you guys, and also if there is a habit you'd love to see in the library, send it our way. Thanks for the support!

Hey r/ShowMeYourApps 👋

Sharing my first app! Built on nights and weekends over ~3 months in React Native. Apple rejected the first couple submissions before it went through. Just past 200 downloads which honestly felt unreal!! Would really love this sub's take on it.

THRIVE is a daily system for raising testosterone naturally. There's a ton of info out there but its all scattered in medical journals, podcasts, etc. We focus on the 40 habits that actually move the needle, each with a deep-dive page (how to practice, impact on T, sources), a GitHub-style heatmap calendar, week/month/6mo trends, and 18 Roman ranks (Legionarius up to Dux) over ~24 months.

No ads. No social feed. No AI chatbot. Just the protocols and the discipline.

If you want to give it a shot, drop a comment or DM me and I'll send a code your way for 1y free.

Would love some honest feedback from y'all so drop it in the comments and any support is greatly appreciated! Happy buildin!

Hey everyone 👋

For a while I've been trying to build a daily routine for naturally improving my testosterone. The science is solid, there's plenty of research on what works. The hard part is figuring out which habits matter most, learning the science without going down a rabbit hole, and building the discipline to run them long enough to see results.

THRIVE focuses only on the habits that actually move the needle, with the protocol, the science, and the peer-reviewed sources baked into every one.

What's inside:

🧬 40+ habits, each tied to peer-reviewed research on healthy testosterone (morning sunlight, heavy lifts, cold showers, sauna, ashwagandha, etc.)

📖 Each habit has its own deep-dive page covering the science, the dose, how to actually practice it, and the sources

📊 A discipline calendar that looks like GitHub's contribution graph, color-coded per habit category

📈 Trends across week, month, and 6m so you see exactly where you slip

⚔️ 18 Roman ranks (Legionarius up to Dux), ~24 month progression for those who lock in

No ads. No social feed. No AI chatbot. Just the protocols and the discipline.

🎁 FREE 1-year giveaway: If you want to try the full app, like this post and comment "THRIVE" below and I'll get in touch.

If you've got feedback or there's a habit you'd love to see in the library, please send it our way. And if the app ends up clicking for you, a quick review on the App Store would honestly make our day! 😊

Hey r/AppGiveaway 👋

I built THRIVE to turn the research on improving your testosterone naturally into a daily system you can actually run.

Quick why: testosterone in men has been falling for decades. The research on what actually moves it is solid, but it's scattered across podcasts, articles, and medical reports.

THRIVE focuses only on the research-backed protocols that actually move the needle, the science behind each one, and how to implement them into your lifestyle.

What's inside:

🧬 40+ protocols connected by peer-reviewed research to healthy testosterone (eg. morning sunlight, heavy compound lifts, minimize screen time, cold showers, sauna, etc.)

📖 Every habit has its own page with the science, the protocol, how to practice, sources, and impact on T

📊 Heatmap calendar like github contributions, color-coded by category

📈 Trends view with week, month, and 6m views to track your consistency

⚔️ 18 Roman military ranks (Legionarius up to Dux), ~24 month climb for those that lock in

No ads. No social feed. No AI chatbot. Just THRIVE.

Hey r/iosapps, first time posting here!

Me and my co-founder shipped our first app ever, THRIVE, to the app store a couple days ago and we are super pumped to get some feedback!

Quick why: we're both deep in the biohacking/health space (listen to huberman, brian johnson, use whoop) and kept hearing the same thing across every podcast: testosterone in young men is dropping. Turns out there's a ton of peer-reviewed research on what moves it, but it's scattered across online articles, podcast clips, and reddit threads and even when you find the right habits, there's no easy way to actually learn them, track them, or stick to them with any discipline, so we built THRIVE.

📦 What's in it

• 40+ habits, each one connected by peer-reviewed research to healthy testosterone (eg: morning sunlight (10-30 min within 2 hours of waking), cold showers, sauna, ashwagandha 300-600mg, etc.)
• Every habit has its own page with the science, the protocol, how to practice, peer-reviewed sources, and how it fits into your day
• A heatmap calendar like github contributions, color-coded by category to track your discipline over time
• A trends view with week, month, and 6m views to see where you're consistent and where you're not
• 18 ranks named after roman military titles (legionarius up to dux), takes about ~24 months to climb for those that lock in
• 80% streak threshold so missing one day doesn't kill your run
• Set custom reminders and schedules for habits
• Track your stats in profile (height & weight, lifts, and T biomarkers)
• HealthKit integration, works offline

🎯 Who it's for

If you've ever kept your lifts in apple notes, saved a huberman protocol you forgot about, set new year's goals you've barely touched four months in, and you actually care about your health and want to do something about it, this is for you. THRIVE is where you stop saving the work and finally start running the system daily.

🎁 Giveaway

👉 Comment or DM me for a free 1-year code. quick honest note: lifetime isn't something we sell in the app, so we genuinely can't send it as a code (we wish we could as it makes it easier). but if you actually use the app and share useful feedback with us, we'd love to manually upgrade you then to lifetime. offer is live for 24h 🙏

would love feedback on the onboarding, and if you're already running your own stack, what habits are working for you, and what would you want us to add to the library!

if you try it out and it lands, an honest review on the App Store helps us out more than you'd think 🙏
