@aishahidk Hey yes it was! What sped up the waiting period for me was to call Apple developer support directly and tell them you’ve been waiting for the approval.

@KeleCodes Hey. Has it been approved ?

If I could rewind time and start DawnLock from scratch, I would create a request for the Family Controls API entitlement from Apple ASAP! They take a while to review applications :(

Love the feedback I’m getting from users When you build a product that you’re really passionate about, other people can tell! Try Swolie for yourself: apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

Shipped a highly requested feature this week: Introducing Programs! Grab a proven split (PPL, Upper/Lower, etc) or create your own. Import routines, schedule your week, include progression. Swolie launched about a week ago and the feedback has truly been awesome! Try it out now (completely free!) and lmk what you think: apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

Sneak peek at the next big update for Swolie: Programs! Soon, you'll be able to build full weekly schedules (PPL, Arnold, Upper/Lower) or create your own from scratch. I'm super excited about the new Auto-Progression engine. If you hit all your reps, the app will automatically suggest weight increases for the next session. Swolie’s currently live on the App Store if you want to try Programs when it drops: apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

First couple reviews in. Both 5 stars! I built Swolie for myself but seeing strangers say it helped them at the gym makes it all worth it. If you want a free workout tracker, try it here: apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

Cant believe quality stuff like this is available for free!

42 people downloaded Swolie on launch day No ads. No big following. Just word of mouth and a few posts. 42 strangers now tracking workouts with something I built. Still processing that. If you want a free workout tracker that doesn’t charge you $15/month: apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

Swolie is officially live on the App Store 🎉 Your gym buddy who actually reacts to your consistency. Miss days? He notices. Stay locked in? He celebrates with you. Track workouts. Build streaks. Watch Swolie evolve. 100% free. apps.apple.com/us/app/swolie-…

What a way to wake up! Swolie just got approved for the App Store. Free gym tracking app, no subscriptions, built because I got tired of overpaying for features I don’t use. 2026 is starting right.

Down 20 lbs in this cut. 📉 The scale is useful, but the mirror doesn’t lie. I built the "Compare" feature in Swolie because I got tired of scrolling back and forth in my camera roll trying to spot the difference. Seeing the side-by-side keeps me motivated! #BuildInPublic

App Store rejection ✅ Fixed! Apple didn't like my "Connect to Apple Health" button. Changed it to "Continue" and removed the skip option. Before vs After screenshots 👇 Resubmitted and waiting for approval... 🤞

🎬 New stats section is looking clean! Built Swolie as a free alternative to overpriced fitness apps over Christmas break. What started as a side project became an obsession. Still waiting on App Store review (the suspense is killing me) 😅 What feature would you want most in a fitness app?

Last day of 2025 ✅ Swolie is sitting in App Store review. Now the hardest part: waiting. Building this fitness tracker has been wild. From idea to submission in about 2 weeks. What's the longest you've waited for app review?

Built a gym app with a virtual workout buddy. Here's 60 seconds of Swolie: → Swolie reacts to your consistency → 800+ exercises → Progress photos with side-by-side compare → Streak tracking that respects rest days → Apple Watch companion 100% free. No subscription. No ads.

About to press the scariest button in app development. Swolie 1.0 → App Store Review Months of work. One click. Here we go.

i'm tired of the startup narrative. everyone's grinding for MRR. everyone's optimizing conversion. everyone's monetizing. i just wanted a free workout tracker that doesn't lock features. so i built Swolie. sometimes that's enough.

I was tracking workouts in Notes. Every fitness app wanted my credit card. So I built Swolie over Christmas break. Workout tracker with a virtual buddy that: - Hypes your streaks - Guilt trips you - Chills on rest days 800+ exercises. Apple Watch. Widgets. No ads. No subscriptions. App Store this week.

Day 24: After about a month of development, I can proudly say friends AND strangers are officially testing and using DawnLock The amount I've learned by building and sharing in public is wild Getting real feedback and people seem to really like the AI verification stuff Also, if you are interested in trying it out, lmk so I can send you the TestFlight link! #buildinpublic

Day 18: DawnLock is now at the point where everything is working as expected! I’ve added a quick vid showcasing the routine/app blocking flow. Lmk if you want to be a TestFlight beta tester! #buildinpublic

Day 17: Need some honest thoughts: Would you like a button option to override the shield for an app blocking app? Or would you just want to have the option to override it in the app itself by disabling the app blocking? For example, I'm thinking to just have the one button "Close" That just brings the user back to the apple home screen #buildinpublic
