I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.
I was getting like 12g a day.
The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.
The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.
I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:
Did I hit my fiber today or not?
So I built one.
It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.
A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:
- Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
- Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
- A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.
Free, iOS only, on device, no account.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.

I'm 32 and pretty introverted. For most of my 20s I called the quiet thing a personality trait and moved on. Around 30 it stopped holding up. I was skipping stuff I actually wanted (speaking up at work, posting my writing, asking people to hang out) and just calling it being introverted.
The confidence apps I tried didn't help. Most are rebranded journaling. The "do one scary thing every day" stuff burned me out in a week.
What worked was small. Embarrassingly small. "Say good morning to the barista." "Ask one question in the meeting." I kept a list, then notes, then built a simple iOS app because notes got annoying.
One challenge a day across six categories: social skills, career, public speaking, networking, self-expression, comfort zone. Each has a clear ask and a one-line tip.
Few honest surprises after using it for \~8 months:
* Tiny challenges did the most work. The big push days were forgettable.
* Self-expression challenges were the hardest and the highest leverage.
Free tier has the daily challenge, streak, and widget. Pro unlocks unlimited skips and the full library. iOS only, on device, no account.

Would love feedback on the categories or anything that feels off.
