A founder tests a voice-based diet and workout logging idea
A Reddit user asked whether people would use an app that logs diet, workouts, water, and habits by voice. The post says people may stop using tracking apps because logging feels like extra work. The user asks if saying things like “I drank 500ml water” could help people track more consistently.
