The tool lets users plan routines, log workouts including supersets, warm-ups and cardio, and visualise which muscles are trained, fatigued or detraining. It supports imports from FitNotes, Strong and Hevy, and offers passkey login, with all data stored on the user's own server.

    Apple has announced updates to how Full Disk Access works in macOS, according to a notice posted on its developer site. The changes affect how apps request and hold permission to read protected user data such as Mail, Messages and files across the system.

    Singapore's government-backed dating app is reportedly built on the Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm, the classic matching method originally developed by mathematicians Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth. The pairing algorithm is designed to match users so that no two participants would both prefer each other over their assigned partners. The detail has drawn attention online, with commenters amused that a decades-old economics result underpins a state-run matchmaking service.

    A developer has launched a forum-style service on Nostr, an open social protocol where user identity is a cryptographic keypair rather than a centrally controlled account. The project revives the classic forum format—threads, boards, replies—while letting users own their identity and migrate across apps. Readers on Hacker News are debating the design, its use of public-key cryptography, and whether decentralized forums can attract everyday users.
