Open source health and fitness
Medical, Health and Fitness software. Repoly tracks 8 open-source health tools, each scored nightly from its repository activity and ranked by that score alone. OpenEMR leads at 95/100 with 1,016 commits in the last 90 days and 5.6k stars, followed by wger (95) and FitTrackee (92). 6 of the 8 score 70 or above, 8 publish a Docker image, and the median health is 90. AGPL-3.0 is the most common licence, carried by 5 of them. Between them they stand in for MyFitnessPal and Strava. The score weighs commits in the last 90 days, release recency, stars, archive status and Docker support; a low number means low measurable activity, not low quality, so a finished, stable tool can legitimately sit lower down.
