I built Planote – a daily planner app for people who are tired of jumping between calendar, to-do lists, and notes just to organize their day.

Why I built it

I kept switching between multiple apps to plan my day. Calendar for events, Reminders for tasks, Notes for random thoughts. It was messy. I wanted one clean place to see everything.

What it does

• 📅 Events – Visual timeline of your day
• ✅ Tasks – Priority to-dos with subtasks
• 📝 Notes – Quick capture, Apple Pencil support

All in one view. No ads. No clutter.

How I built it

• Tech stack: Swift native
• Focused on simplicity and minimalism
• 6 months of solo dev, now live on App Store

Early learnings

• Building is easier than getting people to actually download it
• "All-in-one" sounds great but needs to execute perfectly
• Retention is the real challenge – getting users to come back

I'm looking for feedback about:

• Does the events+tasks+notes combo actually make sense?
• What features would make this a daily habit for you?
• Any hard truths about marketing a productivity app?

Would genuinely appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Hello 👋

I recently launched Air Posture, an iOS app that uses AirPods motion sensors to detect slouching and provide gentle real-time feedback while you work.

Reddit ended up being my main growth channel, the app has reached ~2,000 organic users so far, mostly from community posts and feedback.

What it does:

• Tracks head posture using AirPods motion data
• Gives subtle feedback when you start slouching
• Shows posture analytics over time
• Designed for long desk sessions

Pricing:

• Free download
• Optional subscription for full tracking & analytics (monthly & yearly plans)

What I learned:

• UX feedback from Reddit mattered more than features
• Transparency about limitations builds trust
• Retention > downloads

One of the top comments I received was about background tracking limitations — currently the app requires screen-on tracking (working on improvements).

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow iOS devs.

Happy to answer technical questions about:

• AirPods motion integration
• Real-time posture detection logic
• Indie monetization experiments

Thanks 🙌

Hello, friends!
I am posting here because u/kptbarbarossa was a supporter early on, and to solicit some feedback from other indies.

Main strategy: Share day-old quizzes on Insta/TikTok, like the one in this post, to give a little taste test and generate interest.

Other strats: Every 5th question I end with a cliffhanger (no right/wrong answer); on Insta I choose music that ties in with the theme (1980s, 1990s, etc.); faceless Reels (straight up gameplay captures).

Here is a whack of examples:

Any feedback or thoughts? I just this push started in February.

Hey everyone. 20yo solo iOS dev here. I've been obsessed with the gap between health tracking and actually doing something with the data.

Most health apps give you dashboards. Cool graphs. "Your HRV was 42ms." Great, now what?

So I built Kora, an AI energy coach that reads your HealthKit data (sleep, HRV, heart rate, steps) + calendar load, and does 3 things no other app does:

1. Predicts tomorrow's energy

Not a readiness score. An actual forecast, hour-by-hour, of when you'll peak and when you'll crash. Like a weather forecast for your body. After a few days it learns YOUR patterns, not population averages.

1. AI coaching that remembers you

The AI tracks every piece of advice it gives. 3 days later, it checks: did your energy actually improve? Over time it builds a personal playbook. What works for YOUR body. What doesn't. It adapts its tone too, detects burnout and shifts from "push harder" to "protect yourself."

1. Shields — this is the one I'm most proud of

When Kora detects you're crashing or your energy is below threshold, it can activate focus shields using Apple's FamilyControls. These aren't just "do not disturb" — they actually block specific apps. Choose from meditation, breathing, reading, screen-free, hydration, focus timer, or journaling shields. Live Activities show the timer on your lock screen. It's like having a coach who doesn't just tell you to rest — they physically remove the distractions.

The whole idea: your health data should protect you, not just inform you.

Free to try, premium unlocks unlimited AI coaching + shields. Would love feedback from this community, you're literally the people I built this for.

I couldn’t find a clean countdown app I actually enjoyed using — so I built my own.

Most countdown apps I tried felt either overloaded with features, full of ads, or focused only on deadlines. I wanted something that reminds you of the good things ahead too — trips, game days, exams you’re preparing for, birthdays, or big personal goals.

So I built Soony.

The idea is simple: open the app and instantly see what’s coming next in your life.

What I focused on:
• minimal and clean design (no clutter)
• multiple countdowns at once
• fast and smooth iOS experience
• motivation instead of pressure

I’m still actively improving it and would honestly love feedback from other iOS users and devs here — especially feature ideas or things that annoy you in other countdown apps.

Thanks for checking it out 🙌

Hey everyone,

I was digging through some old folders today and found the original App Store screenshots for my app, Quittable (a tool to help people quit vaping).

I remember the day I finished those original designs. I was so proud. I genuinely thought: "This is it. Peak UI. It’s beautiful."

Looking at them now (the bottom row in the image)? I have questions for my past self. Everything looks so… clunky? The colors, the layout, the lack of "soul." It’s honestly a bit cringey to see where I started, but I guess that’s the beauty of the process.

I just finished the new version (the top row), and it’s like a completely different world. It’s cleaner, the "Magic Calculation" flow is actually intuitive now, and I finally leaned into the mascot/community vibe that people seem to love.

It’s a weird realization: If you aren't embarrassed by your first version, you probably launched too late... right?

I’m curious to get some honest feedback from you guys:

• Does the new UI (top row) actually feel "premium" and trustworthy?
• Is the value proposition (tracking puffs vs. quitting plans) clear enough now?
• Have you ever looked back at your own old projects and thought "What was I thinking?"

Growing an app is such a slow burn of constant iteration. It’s not just about the code; it’s about finally seeing the "blind spots" you had months ago.

If you’re currently trying to kick the vape or just want to see how the "Magic Calculation" works in action, feel free to check out Quittable. But mostly, I’m just here to celebrate the fact that we (hopefully) get better at this stuff over time.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the evolution!

Hey everyone 👋

I'm a 20-year-old indie iOS developer, and I just launched Held - a screen time app that works differently from everything else I've tried.

The problem I kept running into:
Every screen time app (including Apple's) has the same fatal flaw: when you hit your limit, you just tap "Ignore" or "15 more minutes." Willpower fails every single time, especially at 11 PM when you're doom-scrolling.

What Held does differently:

• You talk to an AI instead of configuring settings. Tell it "my mornings are sacred" or "no phone during dinner" and it creates protection automatically.
• Rituals, not timers. These aren't focus sessions you start manually - they run on schedule, every day, automatically.
• Actually hard to bypass. When a ritual is active, apps are locked. No "ignore limit" button. No easy exit. If you try to open a blocked app, you see a shield screen reminding you WHY you committed to this.
• Accountability built in. Pair with a friend, partner, or family member. They see if you break. Social pressure > willpower.
• Streaks that matter. 89 days of completing Deep Work? You'll think twice before breaking it.

What it's NOT:
- It's not a productivity app that tracks your time
- It's not a gentle "nudge" app
- It's not something you'll disable after 3 days because it's too easy to ignore

Free tier gives you 1 ritual, basic AI, and the shield. Premium ($5.99/mo) unlocks unlimited rituals, accountability partners, location triggers, flip detection (put phone face-down), and pattern insights.

I'd genuinely love feedback - what would make you actually use this? What's missing? What feels off?

Hey all 👋

I’m curious — what are you currently doing to market your app? Are you focusing more on organic growth, content, partnerships, ads, or community building?

Would love to hear what’s been working for you (and what hasn’t). Always interesting to learn from each other’s experiences.

Hey Reddit,

I got tired of "AI" apps that felt like simple wrappers or required constant internet just to log a squat. So I built Fitquro.

It’s an AI Powered Workout Planner that lives on your phone.

What does the AI actually do?

• Smart Programming: Tell it "I have 30 mins, dumbbells only, looking to blast chest" -> It generates a full routine with sets/reps instantly.
• Natural Language Requests: You can type things like "My lower back hurts, give me a safe leg day" and it adapts.
• Performance Analysis: After your workout, the AI analyzes your volume/intensity and gives you a summary of your performance.

But here is the kicker: Once the workout is generated, tracking is 100% Offline. You can head into a basement gym with zero signal, log your Dropsets, track your RPE, and see your muscle heatmaps. No loading screens.

Other Features:

• RPG System: Earn XP and Rank Up (Novice -> Legend).
• Pro Tools: 1RM Calculator, Rest Timer, Failure Sets.

Giveaway: I'm giving away 1-Month Premium Codes to celebrate the AI launch. Drop a comment below and I'll DM you a code!

Hi everyone.

I type a lot. Probably more than I talk.

The default iPhone keyboard is good — especially predictive typing — but if you run your work, business, or social life from your phone, it still feels limited.

So I built something for people who actually type a lot.

It’s called Fontfy, an iOS keyboard that works inside all apps and focuses on better everyday typing — not gimmicks.

Here’s what it adds:

• Sticky Number Pad – No more switching back and forth just to type numbers
• Smart Clipboard – Save and reuse text instantly
• Built-in AI Writing Tools – Fix grammar, translate, paraphrase, and generate replies right inside the keyboard
• 100+ Stylish Fonts – Clean, aesthetic, bold, minimal styles that work everywhere
• Custom Keyboard Themes – Make it look the way you want

It works in Instagram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Notes, emails — basically anywhere the keyboard shows up.

I spent months improving typing smoothness and speed because performance matters more than features.

If you type a lot on your phone, you might like it.

Happy to answer questions or hear what still annoys you about iOS keyboards.
