Fazon is in beta

Last week I wrote that I hoped Fazon would be ready for external testing by the next journal. This time I can share the link: Fazon is in beta for iPhone through TestFlight.

A weight-loss phase with an end

Fazon is an app for losing weight and then keeping it where you want it. The everyday part is simple: track your weight, food, and steps, with a particular focus on walking and protein. When you want more structure, you can start a four-, eight-, or twelve-week phase. A rules-based coach checks your progress each week and can adjust one target at a time. When the phase ends, the app helps you move back to maintenance instead of leaving you with an endless program to follow.

The beta is the point where that idea meets other people's routines, phones, and grocery stores. If you have an iPhone and would like to try it, join the TestFlight beta. There is also a short launch video, and fazon.app explains the app in more detail.

All feedback is welcome, including bug reports. I am especially interested in how the food database works outside Sweden: whether you can find the foods you actually buy, and whether barcode scanning recognizes them. That is something I cannot judge well from my own food logging.

Elsewhere in the projects

Run Studio has started to take on a second job. Alongside its receipt and finance work, it now has the beginnings of an Operations workspace: a work board, a calendar for obligations, and routines that can create work when it is due. I am also planning a human-in-the-loop (HITL) Review board, where I can see what agents have done and what needs my decision. An MCP server is on the roadmap so I can check the board and add cards through Codex or Claude from my phone. That remote view matters when I am away from my desk and still want to keep an eye on things. The finance work remains paused while I use my existing accounting tools and learn where the real gaps are.

Launch Studio can now show more of what happens after an iPhone app reaches the App Store. Its Store view brings together downloads, proceeds, conversion, ratings, campaign links, and countries. The aim is to make the next listing or marketing decision from the app's own data, not just from a hunch.

Välkomna has new, lower prices for published event pages: 99, 149, or 199 kr depending on how long the page stays up. The photo album is included in every plan. There is also a new comparison page for anyone weighing it against other ways to make an event page.

Build Studio has had a quieter maintenance week. It now notices when a project's CI runs start taking longer than their baseline, and can open a maintenance task from that signal. Review reports also focus on findings that still need fixing. These are small changes, but they make the daily agent workflow easier to trust.

The other projects have no substantial changes to report this week. For me, the main question now is what Fazon looks like when people outside my own test setup use it. If you try the beta, I would love to hear what works and what does not.
