Lazee is a strength training tracker built for lifters who want a simple, fast way to log workouts.

This idea came to me when working out, of course. But it was because I used to keep all of my workouts in my notes to log my sets and reps. Eventually I got tired of deleting and replacing reps and sets and the dates were all of the place, and worst of all, I would only track my current reps and sets and could not look back on my progress. Now I had this idea for a while, but I did not really have the time or experience, so I told myself once I was on summer break from NC State, I woukd get to work on developing the app.

However, I could not just wait, so I started the design process while in school still with whatever time I had. This allowed for a quick initial prototype of the app while still allowing it to look nice. Eventually I started to really get somewhere I liked with the app and decided my next goal was to have this app published for me and people I know to use as well.

So, Lazee started as a way for me to learn Xcode and Swift, and turned into an app I liked enough to publish. I built it entirely on my own and have kept up with maintenance, updates, and App Store review cycles ever since.

What it does

  • Log strength training sets with weight, reps, and exercise
  • Track progress over time with a clean, minimal UI
  • Fast to use, designed to not get in the way of your workout

Tech

  • Swift + SwiftUI — native iOS development
  • Xcode — full development environment
  • App Store Connect — distribution, TestFlight beta testing, and release management

What I learned

Building a solo iOS app from idea to App Store taught me a lot about the full product lifecycle: designing the data model, iterating on UX, handling edge cases, managing App Store review, and keeping the app alive with ongoing maintenance. The codebase is private since it’s a live App Store product.
