Devlog - v11.7.0

WE’RE ON F-DROID.
After months of Gradle errors, reverted ABI splits, broken builds, and me staring at CI logs at midnight, Spix is finally available on F-Droid.

Thanks for the patience, and for using Spix

Devlog - v11.6.0

Hey! Short one this time.

No new features.
I fixed a number of performance issues and security concerns, removed things that were no longer needed, and got rid of unnecessary imports…
The app really needed it ;)

Thanks for using Spix

Devlog v11.2.0 to v11.5.0

Social screen got a redesign (yes, again)

Friend requests finally make sense
There’s a proper bottom sheet for managing friend requests now

Challenge stats are accurate now
Added a contributor list to challenges so the stats actually reflect who did what. Also added a “past challenges” dropdown so you can look back at your history.

Notifications (for real this time)
Last update I said notifications were here. They were… kind of here. They’re actually working now. Sorry about that.

AI features are off for now
I had to temporarily disable the AI features. Turns out running AI stuff costs money and I am, as the commit message says, poor. They’ll come back eventually.

Under the hood
Security fixes, performance improvements, DB updates, store refactor, more i18n keys. The boring stuff that makes everything else work.

Thanks for using Spix

Devlog - Patch Social Phase 2

Hey! Big one this time. Lots of things happening across the board 👇

Social screens got a makeover
The social UI has been redesigned hehe

New workout stats
You can now see more stats about your workouts! Fair warning though this is still early, it’s a beta and it’s not perfect yet. I’m actively working on improving it

Challenges were a mess
Creating, updating, and deleting challenges had bugs. All fixed. Challenges should behave like actual challenges now.

A lot of social plumbing
Multiple phases of backend work: DB sync, RLS policies, security fixes, topbar fixes, screen fixes… not the most exciting stuff to read about

F-Droid is now a thing !
Working on proper F-Droid support! The FOSS build is now fixed :)

More soon. Thanks for using Spix

Devlog - Patch Social Phase 1

Hey! This one was less about new features and more about fixing the foundations of the social system properly. It needed it.

Friend removal was broken (kinda)
Removing a friend was using the wrong ID

Block was too easy to tap
In the leaderboard, non-friends had “Block” as a prominent action. That’s… not great :(
“Add Friend” is now the main button (spred love hehe)

Weekly XP was doing its own math
The social tab was calculating weekly XP with its own logic, separately from the rest of the app. So numbers could differ depending on where you looked. Now it uses the same function as everything else.

Errors looked like empty states
If the leaderboard or friend list failed to load, you’d just see an empty screen. No indication that something went wrong, no retry button. Now errors are explicit, and you can retry without restarting the app.

Delete account was broken on the DB side
The edge function that handles account deletion was using old column names

Thanks you

Hey! Short update this time
Spix finally has a theme system.
I’ve wanted this for a while honestly. The app was locked into one look and that was fine, but I always felt like it should feel a bit more yours. So I built it.
Go full custom, make it weird, make it pretty, whatever you want
It’s all under Settings → Appearance. Go mess around with it.
That’s it for this one! More coming soon

What’s New!
Hey! I’ve been busy these last few weeks. Here’s what went down 👇

v10.1.0 Fixing the Things

Small but important fixes:

• Translations were being weird (French stubbornly staying even if you picked English). Now it’s good!
• Data export wasn’t working well through Android’s share thing. Now it downloads straight to your Downloads folder. Much better.

v10.2.0 - Safety is Serious Business

I really focused on keeping you safe this time:

Complete redesign of the safety screen

• SOS alerts are now way more reliable and they send themselves without you having to do anything. That matters.

Fall detection

• Ploppy can now detect if you fall while running. If it happens:
  • A countdown pops up asking if you’re okay
  • No response = your safety contacts get alerted automatically
  • It’s optional

Permissions cleanup

• I removed permissions I didn’t need
• Everything’s cleaner for your privacy

v10.3.0 - Spix Now Speaks German and Italian

Language expansion! 🌍

• Deutsch (German) 🇩🇪
• Italiano (Italian) 🇮🇹

v10.4.0 - Fresh UI and More Gains

The app got a little makeover

• A few screens have been redesigned to be nicer to use

Stability++

• We squashed some bugs. The app should feel smoother.

Pull-ups Are Here

• New! You can now track your pull-ups like any other exercise
• Full stats and everything

That’s It!

Thank youuuuu

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements

🌍 Language fixes

Several texts were showing up in French even with the app set to English, and some screens had missing or broken translations.

📥 Data export

The data export in Settings has been reworked. Instead of relying on the native share sheet (which wasn’t working reliably for everyone), your data is now downloaded directly to your Downloads folder on Android.

🚀 What’s New

🏃 Running is here!

You can now track your runs directly from the rep counter screen, two new modes are available.

🤖 Ploppy is getting smarter across the app

Beyond running, Ploppy now shows up in two more places. On the Progress screen, you’ll find a weekly AI summary: a short, friendly recap of your week: sessions done, effort, nutrition if you’ve been logging it, and a few words of encouragement or suggestions for next week. On the session detail page after any workout, Ploppy gives you a quick personal analysis: how this session compares to your last one of the same type, whether you hit a personal best, and what to keep in mind for next time.

Both can be toggled on or off from the new AI settings tab.

🤖 AI Features — new dedicated section in Settings

All AI-related settings have moved out of Labs into a brand new “AI Features – BETA” tab. Nothing is sent until you say so. The Privacy Policy and Terms of Use have been updated accordingly.

Feedback has been reviewed ;)

This project is being developed in collaboration with Elnix (original author). I am working with him because teamwork is allowed and he agrees to it. I was able to help him improve his launcher with new features such as digital pause, which asks for confirmation before launching a restricted app, or a timer that warns you when the time is about to run out, or the time you really want to spend on an app to avoid doomscrolling, etc.
Lots of little features, and I took the opportunity to fix a few bugs for him. At the same time, I used GitHub Copilot to make sure my PRs didn’t have any security vulnerabilities.

I fixed some bugs with meal detection :)

New page for meals, numerous bug fixes, custom sports, redesign of home and meal analysis with Gemini :)

I redesigned the entire quest system and optimized the app.

I completely redesigned my settings page and was able to fix numerous performance issues on my application.
