SomaForge tracks training, food, medication, sleep and vitals in one native iOS app, then reads them together as a single daily ForgeScore. Built solo since October 2025. Used every day. Never sold.

Body
The Greeks trained for aretē: excellence of the body.
Lifting, cardio and breathwork run through one workout engine. Records are detected the moment a set is logged.
Nourishment
“Let food be thy medicine.” Hippocrates, 400 BC
Search or scan 780K+ foods and 158 restaurant chains through ChowAPI, with micronutrients well past the macros.
Rest
Growth happens in stillness. The metal must cool to harden.
Sleep stages, HRV and resting heart rate arrive from Apple Health and feed straight into tomorrow’s readiness.
Medicine
A substance that transforms. The root of “pharmacy.”
302 compounds across 21 categories, including the ones general trackers leave out. Each runs on its own schedule and countdown.
Measure
“Know thyself.” Temple of Delphi
Weight, blood pressure, glucose and body measurements, synced from HealthKit or a Bluetooth heart-rate strap and charted over months.
Mind
See clearly what others overlook.
A daily check-in, breathwork and mood, read alongside everything else. This is where ForgeScore is assembled.
Every piece of data counts toward exactly one domain, so nothing is counted twice. The weights are fixed; the data decides the rest.
A smith judges metal by its glow. The hotter it runs, the more work it can take.
Prioritize recovery and rest.
Your body needs attention today.
Room to improve. Check your domains.
On track, maintain momentum.
Everything aligned. Push hard today.
A web prototype, written in PowerShell on a Windows laptop.
First MacBook, first Xcode project. The prototype goes native.
A new name and a voice: the forge, the anvil, the six pillars.
The App Store launch is dropped. Holding strangers’ health data is a different job.
PR detection rebuilt from the database up.
183 unreachable files and 65K lines cut in one pass.
Sets save in parallel, so every set compared itself to the same stale snapshot and almost every set claimed a record. The comparison moved into one atomic Postgres function that can only ever raise a record.
personal-record rows after the rebuild
Lifting, cardio and breathwork share one reducer. All async work finishes before anything is dispatched, and a finished lift can be reopened later without saving a set twice.

Metro doesn’t tree-shake, so every re-export ships whether it’s used or not. Trimming barrel imports and icon fonts shrank the JavaScript bundle by 17%.

Built with AI
Claude wrote most of the code under my direction.
This is 360,000+ lines and 250+ commits, built solo. That math doesn’t work without an extraordinary collaborator.
My job shifted: less typing, more architecture decisions, more taste calls, more debugging the gnarly problems that only deep context can solve, more deciding what was worth building in the first place.
Kaizen · 改善
This is my own health OS, the one I’ve been using every day for over six months. It’s solid. It’s also still moving. Whenever I notice something missing or a friction point worth fixing, I open the editor and it’s better by the end of the night.
Kaizen, the discipline of small, continuous improvement, turns out to be the only honest framing for a piece of software you actually live with. There’s no “1.0.” There’s no “done.” There’s the version I used yesterday, the version I’m using today, and the version I’ll improve tomorrow. The forge stays warm.
Started as SomaForge’s nutrition layer. Now a standalone food API with 780K+ foods and 158 restaurant chains.
One local dashboard across every project, grown out of needing to see them all at once.
