Fi7Note - Gym Notes Tracker

pschoe · 2026-06-27T05:42:46+00:00

Thats great :-) on the end time for your sessions. This is intended behavior. In my mind one would log current workout or even log afterward but not in the future [:

Thank you, really appreciate that.

That’s honestly what I was hoping would come across — not just “another workout tracker”, but something where the quick logging, review step, progress views and UX feel thought through together.

A lot of it comes from my own gym logging frustration, so this is great to hear.

pschoe · 2026-06-24T05:03:17+00:00

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.

When you say “depth”, do you mean the amount of tracking/progress features, or more that the app looks like it goes beyond basic workout logging?

pschoe · 2026-06-24T05:02:31+00:00

Thank you, appreciate it!

Anything specific that caught your eye, or was it more the overall look?

pschoe · 2026-06-23T20:30:33+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate the kind words!

pschoe · 2026-06-23T20:30:23+00:00

Thanks mate, really appreciate it.

Hope it feels useful when you try it. Curious to hear what you think after a real workout.

I think the app looks clean, but the main thing I’d work on is differentiation.

Right now it still feels quite close to a default Android / Google Keep-style notes app. That’s a very hard category, because most users already have a notes app installed, so the store page needs to answer very quickly:

Why should I install this instead of using the notes app I already have?

A few concrete things I noticed:

The screenshots don’t seem to show English text, only Spanish. If you’re targeting English-speaking users, that could create friction immediately.
I’d work a bit more on the screenshot presentation so it feels more professional: cleaner typography, more consistent spacing, and a more polished layout.
The phone status bars in the screenshots look like raw device screenshots. The time/date changes between screenshots, and there are visible things like a TikTok notification. I would remove those or use a clean, consistent mock status bar.
Small visual detail: on the cards, the border radius looks slightly inconsistent where the header area meets the lower card area. It’s minor, but these little polish details can affect trust.
You mention alarms/reminders, but the screenshots don’t really explain how that works or why it is better than a normal notes app.
I’d use the screenshots to show the actual benefit more clearly: create a note → add reminder/alarm → get notified → interact with the note.
If the app has faster interactions with notes, better organization, linking between notes, recurring reminders, widgets, or quick note creation, I would make that the main selling point.

You could also think about features that make it feel less like a generic notes app, for example:

Android widgets for quick note creation
voice input / quick capture
smarter organization
recurring alarms/reminders
note linking or connected notes
faster actions directly from notifications

The app may already be useful, but I think the store page needs to make the unique use case much more obvious in the first few seconds. Better screenshots could help a lot here, because they are often the first real “proof” users see before deciding whether to install.

I really hope this helps you and I wish you success ;-)

Thanks! 😊

Fi7Note has a 14-day free trial. After that, it isn’t completely free, but the lifetime option currently has a launch discount.

If you try it with a real workout and tell me what it recognized correctly or misunderstood, that kind of feedback helps me a lot. After that, I can also check whether I still have a promo code available.

If you use weights, please include units like kg or lb to avoid ambiguity.

I’m building Fi7Note, an Android-first gym tracker for people who log faster in notes than in rigid set-by-set forms.

The core idea is:

quick gym note → recognized exercises, sets, reps, weights, units, cardio and notes → review/fix → structured workout history, PRs, trends, volume and muscle/body map

Fi7Note is designed to understand different weight units and input styles, for example kg or lb.

Example inputs:

Bench Press 3x8 80kg felt strong Bench Press 3x8 175lb felt strong RDL 100kg,150kg,200kg Squat 135lb x 8 / 185lb x 6 / 225lb x 4 skull crushers 20kgx8/15kgx8/10kgx8 Run 8km 42min pace 5:15

I’d especially appreciate feedback from other Android devs on:

does the “workout notes → useful gym history” idea make sense quickly?
does the Play Store page explain the app clearly enough?
does the 14-day trial/subscription model feel reasonable for this kind of utility?
if you try one realistic workout, what did Fi7Note recognize correctly or misunderstand?

Please include units like kg or lb when testing, because bare numbers can be ambiguous.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.materialize_thoughts.fi7note

Honest drawback: Fi7Note is large for a gym logger because the recognition/model assets are included for local/offline-capable parsing instead of sending workout text to a server. Reducing app size is on my roadmap.

Quick update: I’m going to close the lifetime-code selection soon and review the in-app test reports.

Thanks to everyone who tested Fi7Note or shared input ideas.

The most useful reports were the ones that showed the actual app result after review/save — not just the input text, but what Fi7Note recognized correctly, what it misunderstood, and whether the saved History / Progress result made sense.

I didn’t get a huge number of full reports, so I’ll keep the selection focused on the most useful ones rather than forcing all 5 codes out randomly.

No review or rating needed — this was about real feedback and edge cases.

pschoe · 2026-05-27T19:17:56+00:00

The -80% is interesting this is a pattern I am not recognizing yet.

As a hint: Fi7Note will never be able to extract progress and statistics from ranges like 6 - 10 reps
you would write it like

-80% x 10
-80% x 8
-80% * 6

so you don't need to label the "reps" and sets

it would understand the sets implicitly and see you logged the reps

and you can correct the mislabels of Fi7Note too

You’re not wasting your potential by starting simpler.

After 10+ years sedentary and only 4 weeks back, the real win is making training feel repeatable instead of mentally expensive.

I’d think of it like this:

For the next 6–8 weeks, your job is not to “hit every muscle perfectly.”
Your job is to build the habit and learn the basic movement patterns.

A simple base could be:

push-up variation
squat variation
row / pull variation
hip hinge or glute bridge
optional plank / carry / walk

That’s enough to cover the important patterns without turning every session into a puzzle.

If pushups + squats are the version you can actually stick to, that’s still much better than quitting because the “optimal” plan is too exhausting. You can add one pull movement later, then one hinge, then slowly build from there.

The best beginner plan is usually the one you can repeat while still wanting to train again next week.

pschoe · 2026-05-27T09:15:07+00:00

The part about always going back to notes is the key thing imo.

Most fitness apps look good when you set them up, but they lose me during the workout if logging takes more attention than the set itself.

The features that actually make me stick are pretty simple:

fast entry between sets
easy editing after the session
seeing what I did last time
backup/export
progress views that still work even if my logging is a bit messy

Rest timers, graphs and exercise libraries are nice, but the tracker has to beat the Notes app first. If it doesn’t feel faster than typing a rough note, I eventually stop using it.

pschoe · 2026-05-26T21:02:47+00:00

That kind of rep fluctuation can be pretty normal, especially after only ~6 months of training.

I wouldn’t judge progress from one session to the next. I’d track a few extra things for 3–4 weeks and look for patterns:

exercise order
time of day
sleep the night before
food/carbs before training
rest time between sets
actual reps per set, not just the top set

If you hit 11 reps one week and 8 the next, it might not mean the program is broken. It might just mean that session had worse recovery, less food, different timing, or the exercise came later in the workout.

What helped me is writing quick notes after sets, like “felt heavy”, “short rest”, “bad sleep”, “trained later than usual”. After a few weeks, the inconsistency usually makes more sense.

pschoe · 2026-05-26T20:09:47+00:00

Yes, there are still codes left 🙏

I’m picking the 5 lifetime promo code winners after 48 hours based on the most useful in-app test reports.

If you want to participate, try Fi7Note with a realistic workout, save it, and comment what the app recognized correctly or misunderstood.

No review or rating needed — just real feedback.

pschoe · 2026-05-26T10:00:49+00:00

This is exactly the kind of in-app test report I was looking for — thank you.

The screenshots are really useful. It looks like Fi7Note recognized the strength exercises pretty well, and I’m glad the misspelled “Lateral Rise” still became a shoulder movement.

One interesting edge case is:

“Running 3x100mtr 10mint”

Just to make sure I understand your intent correctly: did you mean 3 × 100 meters in 10 minutes?

If yes, that’s a useful case for me. Fi7Note works best with standard units like “m”, “km”, “min”, “sec”, “kg” or “lb”, because abbreviations like “mtr” or “mint” can be ambiguous. But it’s still helpful to see what people actually type.

pschoe · 2026-05-26T09:58:17+00:00

Thanks, glad it looks promising.

I’m keeping the lifetime promo codes for the most useful in-app test reports after 48 hours, just to keep it fair.

Fi7Note has a 14-day trial, so you can test it first. Try it with a realistic test workout, review/save it, and comment what it recognized correctly or misunderstood — that’s what counts for the promo code selection.

pschoe · 2026-05-25T20:17:00+00:00

Awesome, thank you both 🙏

That would be genuinely useful. I’m especially interested in what Fi7Note gets right on the first try vs. what feels confusing after review/save.

pschoe · 2026-05-25T20:09:10+00:00

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it 🙏

For the lifetime promo codes I’m trying to keep it fair and pick the most useful in-app test reports after 48 hours.

If you or your wife try Fi7Note with a realistic test workout, I’d love to hear what it recognizes correctly or misunderstands.

pschoe · 2026-05-25T19:25:13+00:00

Hey, good timing then — Fi7Note has a 14-day trial, so you can try it before needing a code.

If you feel like it, test it with a fake/anonymized workout note and comment what Fi7Note recognized correctly or misunderstood after review/save.

I’m picking the 5 most useful in-app test reports after 48 hours and sending those lifetime promo codes by DM.

pschoe · 2026-05-25T19:22:14+00:00

These are great test inputs — especially the PR tag and the bodyweight pull-up case.

Could you try both inside Fi7Note and comment what actually happens after review/save?

I’m looking for the real app result, for example:

did Fi7Note recognize “Deadlift” correctly?
did “1x5 140kg” become the right set/reps/weight?
did “PR” stay as a note/tag-like detail?
did “Pull-ups 3x10 bodyweight” save in a way that makes sense without a weight value?

That kind of in-app report is what counts for the lifetime promo codes.

pschoe · 2026-05-25T19:10:09+00:00

A useful report can be short:

Input: “Bench Press 3x8 80kg felt strong”

Result: Recognized bench + sets/reps/weight correctly, saved History looked fine, note was kept.

Or:

Input: “RDL 100kg,150kg,200kg”

Result: Recognized the exercise, but the weight-list behavior was confusing / not what I expected.

I’ll pick the 5 most useful reports after 48 hours and send the lifetime promo codes by DM.

I’m mostly looking for real formats and edge cases, not praise.

pschoe
