Zelia was built by someone who's lived it. No tool existed that truly understood what it's

After a cardiac arrest, our founder came home with a handful of medications, a follow-up appointment weeks away, and very little support for everything in between.

Just over a year ago, I had a cardiac arrest, followed by a double stroke. I'm one of the lucky ones. I got a second chance, and I've spent the last year figuring out what to do with it.

Part of what I did was build software. Not because I set out to become an app developer, but because I kept running into gaps that nobody else seemed to be filling.

Zelia started as something small I built for myself: a way to keep track of medications, appointments, and everything else that comes with managing your health after something like this. It grew into a full companion app for anyone dealing with a chronic condition or weight management.

Zelia Carer came out of watching my own family try to keep track of how I was doing. It's a free companion app that lets someone you trust follow along with your health journey, so they're not left guessing.

RunBittyRun is the one that came from the other side of recovery, there seemed to be no free apps to help build back up through walk-run intervals without overthinking it. Now there is.

None of these came from a product roadmap. They came from a year I didn't expect to survive, and the people and habits that got me through it.

Now the whole suite is out there: Zelia, Zelia Carer, and RunBittyRun, live on both iOS and Android.

As some of you know, RunBittyRun (from the team behind Zelia) is a free, adaptive Couch to 5K app for Android and iPhone. Instead of a rigid nine-week schedule, it actually listens — if a run is tough, it eases the next one back instead of pushing you to fail. No account, no social feed, no pressure — just a programme that meets you where you're at.

📱 Download it now on Google Play
🍎 iPhone/Apple Watch version still waiting on App Store review — coming soon

Sharing this with my friends as well 😀

Hey followers of Zelia, we would love your help.

If you have downloaded Zelia, or any of our other apps, and like what you see, we would love to see a review on the App Store or the Play Store of your experience.

This will help our app reach more people and hopefully gain more momentum in downloads.

Your option of our apps matter.

Thank you so much for your support.

Big update from the Zelia team! 🎉

We've been heads-down building the health companion ecosystem we always wished existed — and it's starting to come together.

🏃 RunBittyRun is now in review on iOS and in final testing on Android. This one's about making movement feel achievable and encouraging, not another thing to feel guilty about.

❤️ Zelia Carer is officially live on both iOS and Android! Built for the people supporting someone through a health journey — because caregivers need looking after too.

And we're not stopping there. We're already working on the next level of support inside Zelia itself, and diabetes management is one of the biggest gaps we've identified — millions of people managing daily medication, monitoring, and decisions with very little tech actually built around them. We're going to change that.

This is just the start. Watch this space. 👀

This year taught me two things. Both just became apps. 🤍

Carers and loved ones carry so much while someone recovers: the meds, the appointments, all the worry. So we built Zelia Carer, for them, and for anyone doing that for someone they love. Live now, and free.

Learning to move again, one small step at a time, led to RunBittyRun. Same gentle method as Couch to 5K. Coming very soon, also free. Watch this space.

Two more things coming very soon from the Lovara & Co family, and both are free. 🎁

First, Zelia Carer. It links to your loved one's Zelia app so you can see an overview of their medications and key health data in one place, no more guessing or double checking. You'll get notified if a dose is missed or a script needs filling, so you can actually step back instead of hovering. Free for carers, always.

Second, something new: RunBittyRun. A free running app built on the same step-by-step method as Couch to 5K, walk and run intervals that build gradually so anyone can go from the couch to running 5K, no matter where you're starting from. Same team, same belief that the tools that actually help people are built by people who need and use them.

Both are close to landing. We'll let you know the second either one is ready.

It's live. 🎉 The Weight Journey version of Zelia is approved and available now on the App Store.

Bariatric surgery recovery, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, all of it, right alongside the Medication Management side you already know. Same private, on-device app, just built to go further with you.

Android is still with Google for review. Hopefully not far behind, we'll let you know the moment it lands.

And one more thing already in testing: a free Carer app. It links to your Zelia app so a family member or carer can see an overview of medications and key health data, and get notified if a dose is missed or a script needs filling. No cost to carers, coming very soon.

The Weight Journey version has been submitted to the App Store, and the Android version has been submitted to the Play Store. 🚀

Both are now in review. That can take up to 7 days, and reviewers can come back with questions or ask for changes, so it's not guaranteed to sail straight through. But after months of building and testing, we're genuinely nearly there.

We'll share the moment either one goes live.

In the meantime: what would you like to see next in Zelia? 👇

One more thing landing in the next update: full Siri support. 🎙️

Once it's live, you'll be able to just talk to your phone and Zelia will handle it. "Hey Siri, what's my next dose in Zelia?" "Hey Siri, log my weight in Zelia." "Hey Siri, mark my meds as taken." No unlocking your phone, no opening the app, no typing, just ask and it's done.

For anyone managing multiple medications, or tracking weight and injections day to day, that's a real difference. Hands full in the kitchen, groggy first thing in the morning, out the door in a rush, it doesn't matter. Your voice is enough.

Still finishing testing alongside Weight Journey mode and the Android release, but this one's ready to go.
