How Vita started as DUCK, became a calm food journal, and is built by one person with AI.

Day one.

The first line of code. The app was called DUCK then: a nutrition and water tracker with a bright, playful look, built in the first days with AI writing the code.

Becoming Vita.

Twelve days in, it didn't look the way it should. So it started over as Vita: a calm journal instead of a game. Every screen was designed first in UX Pilot, light and dark, and then built to match it.

Built with AI.

Vita is made by one person with AI as the team. The code is written with Claude. An office of AI agents, Vita HQ, reviews, tests and checks the work before anything goes live. Over 300 changes in the first eight weeks.
