RepDB
LeanCoach is built for the 70% of people who quit their diet app within two weeks because tracking felt like a second job.
Instead of scanning barcodes or searching databases, you type what you ate in plain English โ exactly the way you'd text a friend. "Ham sandwich, apple, black coffee." "Chipotle bowl, double chicken, no rice." "Mom's curry and two chapatis." LeanCoach parses it, estimates macros, and gives you a daily grade (green, yellow, or red) โ direction over precision.
Features: - Plain-text meal logging โ 5 seconds per meal - Daily grade + weekly journey grade (A through D) - Meal plans built from your own proven "green day" meals - 23 dietary options including keto, halal, kosher, Jain, low-FODMAP - Cultural calendar awareness (Ramadan, Diwali, Lent, Passover) - Pattern detection โ the coach names what's working in your week - Earned cheat meals as consistency reward - Adaptive macro targets that recalibrate daily from real weight trend
LeanCoach is a Progressive Web App โ works on any phone or desktop browser without an app store download. Free tier includes meal logging, weight tracking, water tracking, and streaks. Pro at $49.99/yr unlocks the full coaching engine.

RepDB is a one-time-purchase exercise dataset for developers building fitness and workout apps โ not a subscription, not a rate-limited API. You download the data once and own it: JSON (and SQLite on the higher tier), WebP images, and full EN/DE/ES translations, with no per-request billing and no dependency on our servers staying up.
A free tier includes 250 exercises with flat-style 512ร512 images, attribution-licensed for commercial in-app use. The Starter tier ($199) adds the full catalog in classic white-background style. Standard ($399) adds transparent 1024px images, looping animations, exercise relations (similar/progressions/regressions), workout templates, and embeddings โ exclusive to that tier.
Every exercise includes muscle-group highlighting, equipment/muscle icons, MET values, and safety/goal tags. Compared to GIF- or JPG-based competitor APIs, RepDB images are transparent WebP with no watermarks, so they drop into any app UI without a white box around them.
LeanCoach RepDBRepDB's answer:
RepDB is sold as a one-time download, not a metered API โ you own the JSON/SQLite data and WebP images outright, with no rate limits, no per-request billing, and no risk of the vendor cutting off access. It's also the only dataset in this space with EN/DE/ES translations, transparent (alpha-channel) images with no watermark, muscle-group highlighting, safety/goal tags, and looping animations on the higher tier.
RepDB's answer:
RepDB grew out of a consumer workout app its creator was building solo. Sourcing exercise images and data meant either paying for a subscription API with usage caps and no caching rights, or producing everything from scratch. The illustrated, multi-language dataset was built for us first, then split out as its own product once it became clear other indie developers had the same problem and preferred to buy the data outright rather than rent it through an API.
RepDB's answer:
Most alternatives are subscription APIs โ you pay monthly, you're capped on requests, and ExerciseDB's terms of use explicitly forbid caching or storing the data at all, so every image render is a live paid API call. RepDB is the opposite: pay once, download the files, self-host with zero ongoing dependency. It's also the only option offering true DE/ES localization and transparent images instead of a white box behind every exercise.
RepDB's answer:
Solo developers and small teams building fitness or workout-tracking apps (iOS, Android, web) who need licensed exercise images and structured exercise data, but don't want to build their own media pipeline or depend on a rate-limited third-party API.
