Following the creation of my weather forecast website, I decided to pivot and work on another project because of my passion for health and fitness combined with the technical expertise I developed creating Your Weather Connection.
This led to the creation of Your Wellness Manager, a sort of swiss army knife of a health and wellness app. It offers users the option of tracking their nutrition, workouts, keeping a sleep log, journal, tracking alcohol consumption, and limiting time on social media.
Here’s a summary of all the major things I did with this:
- Designed a user-friendly menu that is unique but familiar to the style of other health and wellness apps.
- Created a unique tool for managing time on social media by basically letting a person lock up their passwords in a digital vault and only allowing access to the passwords after an amount of time specified by the user.
- Worked with the non-profit LegalCORPS MN to get free advice from patent attorneys for filing for a patent and achieving patent-pending status on my social media time management tool.
- Made Your Wellness Manager user-friendly on iOS, Android, and any other platform that has a web browser. There should be an official iPhone/Android app on the app stores in a few more months, likely by early 2025. The app can currently be directly installed (sign up online, then following in-app instructions) on any device as well.
- Created a freemium model where users can sign up and use a free, ad-supported version of the app with limited capabilities and seamlessly upgrade to the premium version by paying a monthly fee.
