Weekly Dev Update — MOTRA Prototype Is ALIVE

This week was a big one for us.

We’ve now fully switched to developing an iOS app in Swift (Android will follow later once we’ve nailed the core experience). The reason for the switch was simple, we wanted tighter integration with Apple Health, and it’s already paying off.

The prototype is up and running.

When we test it internally, workouts from Apple Watch (and even the new AirPods Pro that track heart rate) automatically sync into the app, calculate Effort Points, and update your total. There’s still a long list of features to build and plenty of UI polishing to come, but right now, in its simplest form, it’s actually working. You can go for a run, come back, and see your verified effort appear in the app.

We’ve also started some early conversations with a few investors and grant programmes to help speed things up and get MOTRA to market faster - more on that when we can share.

Feels good to finally see it come together.
