Designed, not shipped
April 2026
- App Store Public Launch
- SomaForge was submitted for App Store review, with screenshots, metadata, privacy declarations, and a reviewer account in place. The launch was dropped in April 2026. Holding strangers’ health data is a different job.
Summer 2026
- Wearable Ecosystem
- Connect your Garmin, Whoop, Oura Ring, or Fitbit to sync heart rate, sleep, recovery, and activity data. Your wearable deserves an app that actually uses the data.
- Meal Planning & Grocery Lists
- Plan your meals for the week, hit your macro targets in advance, and auto-generate a grocery list from your recipes and templates. Less guessing, more eating right.
- Android Launch
- Health Connect integration and EAS build config are code-complete. Google Play Console setup, production signing, and device testing remain. Full feature parity with iOS.
Fall 2026
- Shareable Workout & PR Cards
- Generate beautiful summary cards for your workouts, PRs, and streaks. Share to Instagram Stories, iMessage, or anywhere you want to show your work.

Currently training proprietary models on exercise science, nutrition periodization, and protocol optimization. When this ships, it won't hallucinate your deadlift PR or guess your medication timing. It will know.

A solo build
SomaForge was a solo project, every feature researched, designed, and built by one person. The decisions about what to build and what to defer were made with intention, not sprints. This roadmap is an honest record of what that process looked like.
