<p>Hey HN<p>I've been building mobile apps for half a decade. There are so many moments where you need to quickly check something — how does this screen look on a 12-inch device? Does the layout break in German where translation strings are twice as long? Does the geo feature work when the user is in Tokyo?<p>Then there's the everyday stuff — clearing app data to re-test onboarding, installing a fresh build on three devices at once, toggling dark mode to check contrast, sending a test push notification with a specific payload, grabbing screenshots for the App Store listing, checking what's actually in the local SQLite database when state looks wrong.<p>Each of these is a few terminal commands, a trip to Xcode/Android Studio, or some menu buried three levels deep. Over the years I wrote a lot of bash scripts. Then bash aliases. Then more scripts to chain the aliases together.<p>To consolidate all of that and make the DX actually pleasant, I built Simvyn — a local web dashboard + CLI that wraps simctl, adb, and devicectl into one interface. npx simvyn starts it up, discovers all your iOS Simulators, Android Emulators, and USB/WiFi-connected devices, and gives you everything from one place. No SDK, no app-side changes — works with any framework.<p>Try now > npm simvyn<p>If you've ever rage-typed adb commands at 2 AM, a star would mean a lot :)<p>GitHub - <a href="https://github.com/pranshuchittora/simvyn" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pranshuchittora/simvyn</a></p>

<p>Hey HN,
Over the past 2 years, I tried almost all fitness / gym / workout tracking app. And ended up building my own with AI first features.<p>Would love to know your feedback on this.
Reach out to me directly pranshu@hitt.ai
Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey HN! Excited to share my new App.<p>I built hitt.ai to solve the common gym challenges we all face: planning effective workouts, tracking progress, and knowing when to adjust our routines.<p>What makes hitt.ai different? It's built with AI-first capabilities at its core.

It's 50x cheaper than a human personal trainer and available 24/7 (because let's face it, AIs don't need protein shakes or rest days ).<p>Key features:<p>- AI-powered workout planning that adapts to your goals and progress - Smart logging system that remembers your exercises and patterns - Personalized recommendations based on your performance - Detailed progress tracking and analytics - Chat with your AI trainer about any fitness topic, anytime<p>The app is now live Download from App Store - <a href="https://apps.apple.com/in/app/hitt-ai-ai-personal-trainer/id">https://apps.apple.com/in/app/hitt-ai-ai-personal-trainer/id</a>...<p>For Android Join this google group - <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/hittaiapptesters" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/g/hittaiapptesters</a> And then download the app by joining app testers - <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hitt">https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hitt</a><p>I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

<p>Hey, so we do have some guardrails which stops from creating workouts which are realistically impossible. I agree that a personal trainer helps you master the technique, but the idea of hitt.ai is to be available 24x7 to not only create workouts, but to discuss anything about fitness like nutritional plan, and much more.<p>Yes we do have gifs/videos for all exercises showcasing the correct form and detailed instruction.<p>We live on iOS but under closes testing on Android.
To download the app on Android you need to follow these 2 steps
1. Join this tester google group -  <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/hittaiapptesters" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/g/hittaiapptesters</a>
2. Enroll and Download the app from Play Store - <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hitt">https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hitt</a><p>Let me know your feedback. Ciao!</p>
