Project Overview
Healthyme is a wellness and fitness tracking app designed with a core focus on simplicity, clarity, and human connection. While most health apps overwhelm users with data and rigid tracking systems, Healthyme offers a calming alternative one that embraces visual input, emotional awareness, and habit consistency. From intuitive dashboards to mood-friendly tracking tools, the app enables users to maintain a balanced wellness routine without pressure. Every element of the design reflects the idea of wellness being a journey, not a competition. With features like meal snapping, streak tracking, hydration monitoring, and mood logging, the app empowers users to build a sustainable relationship with their health.
Needs
To create a product that truly resonates with users, I conducted secondary research and analyzed top-rated health apps like HealthifyMe, MyFitnessPal, and Fittr. The insights revealed that while these apps are feature-rich, many users find them overwhelming, especially beginners. A large number of users expressed frustration with having to manually log every food item, measure calories, or navigate through complex dashboards. Others felt disconnected from the experience, stating that the apps focused more on numbers than how they felt physically and emotionally. Most importantly, over 48% of users reportedly drop off within the first two weeks of use due to fatigue, complexity, or lack of motivation. This highlighted the need for an app that offers effortless tracking, emotional relevance, and light, visual engagement to help users stay committed in a more organic way.
Design Concept
Healthyme was conceptualized to meet these needs through a design system that is both emotionally supportive and practically efficient. The app removes friction from the tracking process by replacing calorie logs with photo-based meal snapping, allowing users to quickly document their food without second guessing measurements. Mood tracking is seamlessly integrated, helping users become aware of the connection between their emotions and physical habits. Streaks and hydration goals are presented through simple visuals that gently nudge users toward consistency without inducing guilt. The dashboard is intentionally kept clean and minimal showing only what’s essential today so users feel focused, not overwhelmed. Ultimately, Healthyme is more than a tracker; it’s a daily wellness companion that prioritizes feeling good over crunching numbers.
