Hey Friends 👋🏼

Exactly one year ago, we launched the first version of Shapemate. A simple WhatsApp chat to track meals and workouts. No budget. No team. Just a vision: making fitness and health as easy as chatting with a friend 💬

What started as a simple chat has turned into something much bigger. Over the past months, with the support of my friend and now co-founder, we’ve rebuilt Shapemate from the ground up - smarter, faster, and packed with new features we couldn’t have imagined back then 🤯

Today, Shapemate lets you:

🥗 Log meals via photo, voice, or text

🏋️‍♂️ Track workouts and body weight with one message

🔗 Sync your data from Strava and Whoop - (Apple Health: coming soon)

🧠 Get personalized AI-based recipe suggestions and more

📊 View everything in a clean external dashboard

➕ & more

This is more than just a relaunch - it’s a love letter to everyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by fitness apps ❤️

We're incredibly proud of what we’ve built and even more excited to hear what you think.

Let’s shape something great together 🚀

Using WhatsApp to track meals and workouts in such a flexible way — via photos, voice, or text — makes staying on top of health goals feel natural. Love the integrations too, especially for active users.

@supa_l Thank you so much! 🚀

We built Shapemate to keep things easy and natural. No extra apps, just your chat.

Glad you like the integrations! More coming soon.

Shapemate is brilliant!! Love the WhatsApp approach too, super smart team :))

Wishing you all the best as this rolls out!

Alexander Stojek

@cranqnow Thanks a lot for the great feedback, Sam! We’re happy you enjoy our WhatsApp-first approach - our goal is to make fitness tracking as simple as possible. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! 🚀

Sam @CRANQ

@alexander_stojek Plus the biggest part is people simply love sharing their stuff

This is how all fitness apps should work - seamlessly integrated into daily life!

You've nailed the perfect balance - powerful tracking that feels lightweight and natural. Keeping it in WhatsApp is such a smart move - no extra downloads, no complicated interfaces. Just simple, conversational health tracking. My lazy self thanks you! Kudos!

Alexander Stojek

@rani_zagita That was exactly our goal: to shift the focus away from navigating complicated fitness apps or remembering to track every day - and instead, put it where it belongs: on fitness and nutrition. Tracking should happen effortlessly in the apps you already use every day. Thank you for your feedback!

Launching soon!

The WhatsApp bit is nice :)

this is super useful!

Ioannis Bakagiannis

It is like a super-app for fitness with all these integrations. Congrats on the launch!

Have you integrated the apps like Strava as tools for your LLM to work agentically?

Alexander Stojek

@ioannis_bakagiannisYes, we've integrated apps like Strava into our LLM to automatically fetch the relevant data for your all-in-one dashboard, calculate your daily calorie needs based on your goals and so on - no need to switch between different apps or do the math yourself. Thank you for your great feedback, Ioannis!

Really cool app!

I hit a few minor issues when trying it out:

  1. When picking the year in the onboarding form, it kept switching to a different year (I'm using an iphone 15)

  2. In the dashboard, clicking "manage subscription" gives an error page

  3. When I typed "calculate calorie needs", it took me through the onboarding questions that I already answered, and there was no way to "exit" or cancel it.

Alexander Stojek

@tleyden Thank you for your feedback! 🚀

  1. So far there have been no problems with other registrations, if you continue to have problems here, feel free to contact us at hello@shapemate.eu

  2. Subscriptions can currently be easily edited via the chat. Later, this will also be possible via the dashboard.

  3. The questions are asked again to determine the exact calorie requirement at any time and also to cover new goals with regard to the calorie requirement. You can cancel any process at any time with the command /cancel if you wish.

See you and stay tuned! 🏋️

The WhatsApp approach is great, though I'm curious about how you manage the app's integrations with WhatsApp chat, like Whoop, Strava, or Apple Health.
Does it log the data in these apps from WhatsApp messages, or just notify you of newly generated data?

Alexander Stojek

@huzaifamumtaz Great question, Huzaifa! Once you've successfully connected Whoop or Strava to Shapemate, the bot automatically grabs your tracked workouts - including burned calories and workout type - and displays everything neatly in your all-in-one dashboard. Plus, we pull in your sleep duration from Whoop so you get the full picture of your performance and recovery at a glance.
