Simple utility apps like this are definitely going to be under threat by AI-driven app creation. Unsatisfied with the free options out there, I've been using Claude to build my own workout tracker app with nearly the exact same Live Activity functionality in addition to the other features most apps lock up behind IAP subscriptions. Within a week I had the iOS and macOS apps up and running with CloudKit sync, analytics, custom routines, etc. I'd never made an app before, didn't know Swift/SwiftUI, and barely had to use Xcode.
