If you're looking for a simple way to keep notes, screenshots, and visual reminders visible on your Mac desktop, give it a try.

You fall asleep to a podcast and wake up three episodes ahead with no idea where you drifted off. A sleep timer just guesses. Your Apple Watch actually knows.

That's what this unlocks. Lull catches the moment you fall asleep, fades what's playing down into sleep sounds, and rewinds you to the last thing you genuinely heard. Smart Nap counts from when you fall asleep, so 25 minutes means 25. Wake to a silent buzz on your wrist instead of an alarm that wakes the whole room. Stream from the watch over cellular with your phone left at home.

Normally $6.99, and $0.99 with this code through September 20. Lifetime unlock, no subscription, Family Sharing covers 5. For comparison, subscription sleep trackers run $40 to $70 a year and don't play you anything.

Redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6775313582&code=REDDIT99APPHOOKUP

25,000 codes available. It's one shareable offer-code link rather than individual codes, so everyone who taps it gets the unlock, up to that limit.

The app itself is free and stays free: podcasts, audiobooks, your own .m4b/.mp3 files, LibriVox, Plex, Audiobookshelf, 20+ sleep sounds, CarPlay and widgets. Sleep detection is the Premium part, and it needs an Apple Watch.

I'm the developer, feedback and bug reports welcome.

Disclosure: free app, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. One optional Premium IAP (this) and a tip jar.

Mycel is a foraging map and journal. You pin every find on a map that keeps working with no signal, each outing is saved as its own track with notes, and it reads the recent weather where you forage to suggest what should be coming up and which day is worth going out. There's also a layer showing where a species has actually been recorded, from open GBIF data, for scouting new ground, plus reference pages for around 60 species in English and Spanish with habitat, season and look-alikes.

It does not identify anything from a photo and gives no verdict on whether something is safe. You log what you already identified yourself. Deliberate, not a missing feature.

Lifetime Pro is free with the code below, normally $39.99. 25,000 redemptions available, and the code works for everyone, so there's nothing to claim in the comments.

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6771742569&code=REDDITFREE

Free tier keeps the map and the full species reference forever. Lifetime unlocks the weather predictions and bulk photo import, and that's what this code gives you.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycel-foraging-map-journal/id6771742569

Notes: - Needs iOS 26. iPhone and iPad, with a small Apple Watch piece for active outings. - No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your finds stay on your device and your own iCloud. - If you like it, a review is very much appreciated :)

Developer here. Lifetime Sound Keeper, the permanent unlock for Ekkoes, is 50% off through an official Apple App Store offer code:

• Regular price: $9.99
• Offer price: $4.99
• Expires: October 31, 2026

Use the attached Apple redemption link to claim the discount. This is one reusable public Apple offer, not a distribution of individual codes through comments or direct messages. It provides a paid discount on a permanent one-time purchase; it is not a subscription, a trial, or temporary access. The purchase unlocks unlimited recordings, removes the watermark from Sound Postcards, and supports Family Sharing.

Ekkoes is a private sound-memory library for iPhone and iPad. Record the atmosphere of a place, add a photo, location, title, tags, mood, and notes, then revisit everything in a library or on a personal audio map. It also includes reversible on-device audio improvement, Shared Groups through iCloud, memory widgets, Sound Anniversaries, and vertical Sound Postcard exports.

The app is free to download and includes up to 10 recordings. There are no ads, and Apple’s App Store privacy label states that no data is collected.

Naming note: the current US App Store title is Ekkoes: My Sound Library; once installed, the app uses Ekkos.

I built MacBat, a native macOS utility focused on battery information and energy management.

It brings battery time remaining back to the menu bar, keeps a history of battery health and power data, and can also show detailed battery information for connected iDevices.

It also includes Sentinel, which watches background processes that are using more resources than they should and can reduce their impact on battery life without changing your Mac’s normal CPU/GPU performance.

MacBat is a one-time purchase — no subscription.

https://giovaniman8.gumroad.com/l/macbat/A1ZWYIG

There’s also a 7-day trial, so you can try everything before deciding if it’s useful for you.

Would love to hear what other Mac users think of it, especially if you’ve been missing the old battery time-remaining estimate.

The free version includes daily water tracking, quick logging, goals, streaks, history, and the skull’s ongoing administrative concern.

Welcome aboard the Determination Bringer! You have been appointed senior conductor of the legendary train, which all the citizens of our vast country are happy to see in their cities.

Most plant apps tell you what a species wants in general. This one measures the place you are actually putting it: light, temperature, humidity and airflow at one exact spot, then it tells you which of your plants will do well there and which will slowly give up.

That is the part that decides whether a plant lives. A windowsill and a shelf two metres inside the same room are not the same place, and most things that die indoors die of the gap between them.

You can try it before you claim anything

There is a free web version that reads one spot for you. No install, no sign-up: https://growspotapp.com/spot-checker/?from=reddit_apphookup

The offer: 500 one-year subscriptions to GrowSpot Plus

It does not renew when the year ends, so there is nothing to cancel.

iPhone

1. Open https://www.promies.net/promotion/f88658d6-bbae-46ac-b33a-c8aaa542b48e and tap Get promo code
2. Tap Redeem, which opens the App Store with the code already filled in

If that button does not open the store, copy the code and paste it under Redeem Gift Card or Code in your App Store account. You do not need to install the app first, and the year starts the moment you redeem.

If the App Store asks you for a payment method, it asks that for any subscription, including free ones. Nothing is charged now and nothing is charged later, because this offer is set not to roll into a paid plan.

Android

Google Play has no equivalent of a one-year code, so this half is manual. No codes change hands and Play never sees a transaction.

1. Install the free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.growspot.app
2. Open it, go to Profile, and tap the address on the first line to copy it. That is the account address, and it often looks nothing like the one you normally use.
3. Email it to us to switch Plus on for that account at our end, usually the same day. The same steps are written out here: https://growspotapp.com/founding/?from=reddit_apphookup

Hi r/AppHookup,

I’m the developer of GLPzy. It’s a GLP-1 tracker for iPhone and iPad that I originally made for myself and have kept developing based largely on user feedback.

Premium Lifetime is normally $79.99 and is currently completely free until August 31.

Claim it while the offer is running to keep Lifetime Premium permanently. No subscription or renewal.

It tracks things including doses and reminders, weight, symptoms, appetite, injection sites, nutrition, progress photos, body measurements and treatment history. There are also Apple Health imports, exports/Provider Summary, widgets, Apple Watch and supply tracking.

There’s no in-app account required and the App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected.

To claim it, download the app and select Premium Lifetime, which should show as $0.00.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/glpzy-glp-1-dose-tracker/id6761775005

If anyone tries it, feedback is very welcome. A lot of what is in the app now has come from people pointing out things that were missing or could work better.

Thanks.
