tl;dr Instant Platinum v0.1.0 released! 🚀
Instant Platinum is an unofficial client for Fitness Platinum. The audience is tiny: a gym franchise in Kraków and Katowice, Poland. That’s fine. This is mostly for me.
I can’t stand the official app. It’s not terrible, but it’s bloated with things I don’t care about: booking classes, managing goals, shopping (??). I just want to see my entry QR code as soon as I open the app. Today it takes three taps. Not awful, but not great.
So I built my own thing. Enter Instant Platinum: the app figures out which club you’re near and pops up the right QR code instantly. No clicks required. Works on iOS and watchOS.
Open, scan, done.
It took two evenings to put together. I’ll probably never “earn back” the time I spent, but I’ll happily trade those hours for fewer moments of frustration.
Since the initial release, it’s morphed into a fun little hobby project. I recently shipped Platinum Pulse, which I plan to plug in to show historical occupancy inside Instant Platinum. Next up: widgets and shortcuts so the code is ready before I even think about opening the app.
If you by any chance go to Fitness Platinum, go ahead and try it!
