Mimo
Mimo is an AI-powered mobile workout companion that helps users build custom routines, follow exercises visually, and stay consistent with their training. Users can create workouts by selecting exercises, sets, reps, or timed intervals, then follow an animated character demonstrating each movement. The app is being designed to support routines such as strength training, posture work, mobility, and yoga, with future features centered on gamification, movement feedback, personalization, and social sharing.
Why I Created It
I created Mimo because exercise recommendations often stop at telling people what movements to perform without giving them an easy way to follow those movements during the workout itself. When I was trying to follow routines from videos, articles, or exercise lists, I wanted a simple way to see the correct movement while progressing through each set or interval. Mimo grew from that need: combining a workout timer with visual form guidance so users can follow routines more confidently and consistently.
How I Built It
Mimo is being developed as a mobile app that combines customizable workout programming, animated exercise demonstrations, and AI-assisted movement guidance. Users will be able to define exercises, sets, repetitions, and timed intervals, while an in-app character visually performs each movement. Planned development also includes pose-estimation-based feedback using device sensor and motion data, gamified progression through streaks and XP, character customization, social workout sharing, and API integrations for supporting features such as music and content. The app is currently in active development and testing, with an eventual iOS release planned.
