About FitForge

Created by indie hacker Robbie Hoggan with no VC backing, FitForge focuses on smart, dynamic adaptation rather than rigid calendar schedules. Workouts adapt to your training age, ensuring your routine aligns with your actual experience level.
A standout feature of FitForge is its dynamic nutrition tracking, where macro targets change according to your specific training day—such as high carbs on push days and low carbs on rest days.

About TouchGrass
TouchGrass is a smart, context-aware break reminder designed specifically for macOS users who want to maintain their physical health without interrupting their productivity. Unlike traditional break reminders that operate solely on rigid timers, TouchGrass understands your workflow and adapts in real-time.
The app is built to be highly respectful of your active work. It intelligently pauses reminders during meetings, calls, media playback, and active screen recordings. Additionally, it detects when you step away from your Mac and automatically registers that time away as a completed break, ensuring you aren't nagged with redundant alerts when you sit back down. When it is time to pause, it provides gentle prompts to blink, improve your posture, and rest your hands after long typing sessions.
Privacy and security are core priorities for TouchGrass. The application runs entirely locally on your machine and operates seamlessly without ever requesting invasive macOS Accessibility permissions. Users can experience the tool via a 7-day free trial, after which it is available for a one-time purchase of $3.99 with lifetime updates included.
