Quick Menu Customization

3rd Oct, 2025

Today on Bearly Fit (well technically last night) I have mostly been improving the quick menu!

The quick menu is accessed through the home screen, it gives you quick access to add different types of logs.

I realised that not everyone wants every button in this menu so instead of having a fixed approach I've made it fully customizable!

Quick menu customization

Allowing someone to:

  • add new buttons
  • remove a button
  • reorder buttons

Later this will become a global menu allowing someone to access it anywhere in the app.

And over time I'll also add more options to do things like:

  • Start session
  • Scan barcode
  • Launch a website / another app
  • etc

Let me know what you think!
