What do you get with a security researcher and a data scientist? Probably a fitness/lifestyle app.

After resorting to spreadsheets to track most of what we wanted, we decided to put our weekends to good use and for the last 4 months have been building an app that we think is pretty cool.

It’s called Velda and it just launched on the iOS store. We plan on launching to Android within the next few weeks.

We decided to combined our wants. I wanted a comprehensive workout app that expanded on the things I liked about ‘Heavy’ but with more analytics. She wanted a place to store her nutrition logs, recipes, and a way to track her cycle.

The current problem is that we needed 3 to 4 apps to accomplish all this and our monthly subscription cost was north of $80. And if you didn’t wanna pay, the free version was neutered to the point it barely functioned. Not to mention the ads.

We decided to build Velda to benefit people who wanted to use it free, first. No ads, no unnecessary gatekeeping. Whether you decide to pay or stay on the free tier, the app functionally is the same. Velda is designed to be modular in design and cost. Each module talks to one another to give a more complete picture on progress. And regardless of tier, everyone gets a monthly comprehensive analysis every month to gauge progress.
