An independent health-software studio
Somatryx is a small, self-funded project. There are no investors asking for engagement metrics and no roadmap written by a growth department — and that shows in every product decision.
Because the good material was scattered and offline-hostile
Both apps grew out of the same problem in two different fields. Medical students have fifteen sources, none of which works in the hospital basement, and half of which never say where their claims come from. People who train have a hundred apps that count sets and not one that tells them whether those sets did anything.
The answer in both cases was the same: ship the content inside the app so it doesn't depend on signal, cite the sources so it can be checked, and don't build the business on top of the user's data.
Where we are today
- 2apps in production
- 306exercises in Fitorex
- 730medical guides in Medorax
- 4watch platforms with a native app
Mobile first, but not only
Android shipped, iPhone and iPad on the way. Fitorex also has a native app on four watch platforms and a web dashboard for reviewing your numbers on a big screen.
No dependencies we do not control
The apps don't pull third-party libraries from the internet and don't request permissions they don't use. Less attack surface, fewer things that break on their own in three years.
In two languages, properly
Neutral Latin American Spanish and English across the app, the watches and these websites. Not a machine translation of the home screen with the rest left in Spanish.
Three workshop rules
First, make it checkable
Before a fact ships, it has to be traceable to its source from inside the app and without a connection.
Second, don't let it lie
If data is missing, the app says so. No index gets padded with assumptions to make a screen look complete.
Third, make it good-looking
A tool used every day deserves care in the details. In that order, though: pretty never fixes false.
What we are not
- We are not a medical device. Our apps are educational material; they diagnose and treat nothing.
- We do not replace a professional. Not a doctor, not a coach, not a dietitian.
- We are not a social network. No feed, no followers, no comparisons with strangers.
- We are not a big company. We answer the emails ourselves, and sometimes it takes a day.
