Inspiration

We wanted to make daily workouts feel as exciting as playing a game. Traditional fitness apps often become repetitive and fail to keep users motivated. The idea of combining space missions with exercise came from our frustration with that - we wanted to turn every rep into an adventure.

What it does

Zero-G transforms ordinary workouts into immersive space missions aboard a virtual Mothership.

  • 🎙️ AI Voice Coach: real-time guidance during every rep
  • 📸 Camera Vision: form check and automatic rep counting
  • 🤖 AI Missions: fresh daily storylines generated by AI
  • 🛰️ Spaceship Repair: every day, each workout fixes critical systems
  • 🎮 G-Points: earn rewards, keep streaks, and climb the ranks
  • 🌌 Talk to Mothership: chat or ask anything to the AI captain
  • 🕹️ Challenge Mode: multiplayer duels with other astronauts
  • 🌍 Drift Mode: warm-up exercises with gyroscope & accelerometer
  • 🔔 Daily Reminders: smart notifications to keep you on track

How we built it

  • Frontend: Swift (iOS), SwiftUI
  • Backend: Supabase + RevenueCat + OneSignal for subscriptions, progress sync, and notifications
  • AI: Apple Vision models for form detection & rep counting, OpenAI for daily mission content, ElevenLabs for immersive AI voice
  • Design: Figma for UI, space-inspired assets, and animations

Challenges we ran into

  • Achieving accurate body tracking using only camera hardware
  • Generating daily missions that feel meaningful, not repetitive
  • Designing gyroscope-based warm-up exercises that are fun and reliable
  • Building multiplayer challenge logic with fair scoring
  • Navigating App Store review rules for subscriptions & privacy compliance

Accomplishments that we’re proud of

  • Built a fully functional AI personal coach correcting form in real time while staying in character
  • Added Talk to Mothership, giving users an AI companion beyond workouts
  • Designed Challenge Mode to bring friendly rivalry into fitness
  • Delivered AI-generated daily missions to keep long-term engagement high
  • Successfully integrated subscriptions + payments through RevenueCat & Apple sandbox testing
  • Created Drift Mode as an innovative warm-up system using gyroscope data

What we learned

  • How to balance gamification with serious fitness benefits
  • Ways to optimize Apple Vision for real-time performance without draining battery
  • Best practices for writing AI-generated storylines tied directly to exercises
  • That AI companions can become more than coaches - they can be motivators, friends, and mentors

What’s next for Zero-G App

  • Multiplayer co-op missions: repair the Mothership together with friends
  • New mission types with expanded storylines & difficulty scaling
  • Wearable integration (Apple Watch) for deeper biometric feedback
  • Family Mode: group training sessions with shared progress
  • Community-driven seasonal challenges
  • Focus Mode: To solve the doomscrolling problem
  • Body Composition analysis based on Camera input (muscle and fat)
  • Food Calorie Estimator
  • Even more user insights and stats

Recently we have got the feedback that G Points, Leaderboard, and the calendar mark is not enough prize for the users to finish the daily storyline for fixing the mothership. So inspired with the Apple AR Kit tutorials, we have crafted a very early prototype of another mini game that would show the spaceship broken floating in the AR around your environment, but when you fix the daily storyline you will get the chance to steer the spaceship in the environment around you, the mission would be to avoid the asteroids and collect all of the floating G Points. Why AR? Because it's just another perspective or interactive gaming where you have to move, we already leveraged Computer Vision, and motion sensors in our Zero-G app, so why not AR this time? :D

Focus Mode is Live (v2.0.1)!

We just shipped Focus Mode - moving from "What's next" to live on the App Store.

What it does: Focus Mode uses Apple's Family Controls framework to block distracting apps at the OS level. The only way to unlock them? Complete exercise missions. Turn doomscrolling into fitness.

How it works:

  • Select apps to block (TikTok, Instagram, Netflix, etc.)
  • Mothership shields them at system level
  • Do 15 squats → unlock for 15 minutes
  • Timer expires → apps block again automatically
