Training decisions / iOS app

Train solo, but smart.

Precise, automated workload guidance built around your training schedule and Apple Health signals. Tuwa combines your personal baseline, wellness and training history to help you adjust today’s session, understand fatigue, and log your workout with a tap or your voice.

  • Customized workload for every session
  • Log your workout effortlessly
  • Always train under control
My role & delivery evidence

I’m the solo founder and builder of Tuwa. I own the product, sports-science rules, interaction and visual design, architecture, testing and release, working with AI coding agents to bring it to life.

The next version brings today’s workout, fatigue awareness and guided session logging into one flow. A focused view moves through your planned sets, while quick entry and voice capture make logging easier. Your own program stays in control; personal health signals help you decide when to push, adjust or recover.
