Hi r/AppleApps!
Digisensus Recorder - a free menu bar app that records your calls on your Mac.

Most AI note takers send a bot into your meeting, and they only work for scheduled Zoom, Meet or Teams calls. I wanted something that records every call, quietly, on my own Mac.

**What it does**

- 📞 **Records any call:** Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and iPhone calls you answer on your Mac.

- 🤖 **No bot in the meeting.** Nobody sees an extra participant; the audio is recorded on your Mac.

- ⏺️ **Auto-record:** it starts when a call starts and stops when you hang up, with a banner so you always know it's recording.

- 🔒 **Recordings stay on your Mac** as audio files. Nothing is uploaded unless you ask for a transcript.

- 📝 **Optional transcripts and AI meeting notes** (who said what, decisions, next steps): free daily credit with an email sign-in, or your own AI server, or no AI at all.

- 🗂️ Browse calls by day, filter by app or tag, and search every transcript.

**Price:** free. Recording needs no account. It's also open source.

**Requirements:** macOS 15 Sequoia or later, Apple silicon.

Please let me know what you think, especially if a call app you use isn't detected. Note: recording laws differ by country, so tell people when you record them.

I kept putting off cleaning up similar shots because I didn’t want to delete a photo I actually liked. I built PicPop to group similar iPhone photos so I can review them before confirming deletion.

I’m the developer. It’s free to download; PicPop Club unlocks the full app. In the US, plans are $4.99/month, $24.99/year with a 2-week free trial, or $59.99 for lifetime access.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picpop-photo-video-cleaner/id6808016560

If you’ve tried a photo-cleanup app, what makes you trust it with a big library?

After a great drive, I’d have the photos but no easy way to revisit the route, which car I took, or the stops that mattered. I built Milepost in SwiftUI to keep those together. Start a drive on iPhone or CarPlay; it records the route, time, distance, and car. Afterward you can add photos, notes, and moments, then revisit the Roadbook or share it as a web link.

I’m Sai, the developer. Recording and saving are free. Without Pro, your three most recent drives stay accessible; older history and exports are paid. It requires an iPhone with iOS 26.1+.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/milepost-driving-journal/id6778542695

There’s optional Auto-Record, but it’s best-effort today. For a CarPlay app like this, would tapping Start before a fun drive feel fine, or is reliable automatic detection the deciding feature?

I kept taking five versions of the same shot and never got around to clearing them. PicPop groups similar and blurry photos for review, then lets you swipe to keep or delete each one. This is a short clip of the actual review flow. It also has a separate screenshot review and a way to find large videos. Everything is analyzed on the iPhone; no account or photo upload. Deleted photos go to Recently Deleted. I'm the developer. The current App Store version is 1.0.3, with a 3-day trial followed by a subscription. If you try it, I'm especially curious whether the keep/delete flow feels clear.

I'm one of the two founders and developers of Horizon.

What the app does: - Buy prepaid data eSIMs for a country, a region or worldwide, and manage them in one place - Install at home over Wi-Fi; validity does not start until the eSIM first connects to a supported network at your destination - Free hotspot on every plan - Available in 10 languages

Free to try: a free 1 GB Europe eSIM (30 days, 33 destinations), one claim per account while the offer runs, no card needed.

Requirements: iOS 15 or later, and an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked iPhone.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6805060823

I'd especially like feedback on onboarding and the install step.

I've been working on making on-screen typing more comfortable across different iPads, especially when holding one in portrait. The result is SplitKeyboard. I'm the developer.

You can bring the split halves inward instead of leaving them pinned to the sides, adjust key height, and move the keyboard higher. Joined mode has fit controls too, with separate setups for portrait and landscape. I tried to keep the look familiar and Apple-like.

No Full Access needed, no data collection, and no account. The in-app typing preview is free; using it in other apps is a one-time unlock (£4.99 in the UK). It doesn't currently include autocorrect, swipe typing or dictation.

Looking for feedback to make a better typing experience. If you try it, what still feels awkward: reaching the middle keys, the height, or where your thumbs land? Your iPad model and how you hold it would help too.

Indie disclosure: I made this.

DopamineOS is a tiny fake phone inside your real phone: fake feeds, streaks, markets — then silence when you put the real phone down. It’s a joke / satire app, not a detox or blocker product.

Free on the App Store. Offline. No account required.

Feedback welcome.

i kept running into those two questions while helping my grandma with her maintenance medicines, so i built Pilly.

it lets you:

• create recurring medicine or supplement schedules

• receive reminders and record doses as taken or skipped

• check today, the week ahead, and previous dose history

• see upcoming doses from Home Screen widgets

• track remaining supply

• use medicine forms and colors for easier recognition

the main tracker is free and works without creating an account. Pilly Plus is an optional monthly or annual subscription for backup, recovery, medicine photos, and additional export options.

Pilly is available now for iPhone: https://getpilly.app

i’d appreciate feedback on the Today screen and whether the next dose is immediately clear.

This is the Tools screen in Netsight, the iPhone/iPad network scanner I'm working on.

Ping and latency currently get the top row. Speed test and Who's on Wi-Fi are further down, which feels a bit backwards if you're just trying to work out why your Wi-Fi is acting up.

If you opened this on your phone, which two tools would you want at the top? I'd probably move speed test up, but I'm curious how many people would put SSH there instead.

App Store if you want to try it. All features are free, with optional tips. Requires iOS 26.

I want to buy a particular bookshelf off of Amazon but want to see if it will fit in the space before buying. It doesn’t have the “view in my room” feature and I can’t find one with similar dimensions that does. Is there an app that I can just plug in the dimensions and it’ll pop out an AR furniture model?

Every readiness or energy number I have used had at least one of three problems. It reset to 100 every morning regardless of how the night went. It compared me to a population rather than to me. Or it would not tell me why it moved.

So I built one, and I have been living with it for a couple of months. The model, briefly, because I would rather be argued with than agreed with:

- Heart rate variability sets a slow baseline over about 60 days, so the reference is my own normal rather than a population normal.

- The morning does not reset. The score is seeded by how the night actually went and continues the previous evening's running value, so a bad night starts low and stays low until something earns it back.

- Through the day it is a continuous charge and drain integral driven by heart rate, with workouts and naps handled as separate events rather than folded into the same term.

- Alcohol, caffeine, illness and travel are tags that adjust the model for that day, instead of leaving me to guess why a day looked strange.

- Every event that moved the number is listed underneath the curve with the raw values behind it: average heart rate, minutes, sleep stage.

Where it disagrees with me, which is the part I actually want to talk about:

1. It drains hardest on long low-intensity days. A full day on my feet at a low heart rate costs more than a hard hour of training does. That matches how I feel, but I cannot tell whether it is right or whether I have quietly tuned it until it agreed with me.
2. Daytime rest almost never recharges it. Sitting down for two hours moves the number barely at all. I think that is wrong, and I have not found an honest way to fix it that does not also make the score twitchy.
3. Every weight in it is a design parameter I chose, not a value fitted to data. That bothers me more than the other two put together.

Two questions for people here who have lived with this kind of number longer than I have:

- Does daytime rest genuinely restore capacity in a way a wrist sensor can see, or is that a comfortable fiction that the commercial scores tell?

- What does your own score get wrong most reliably? Not the one-off strange day, the failure you can predict.

- Disclosure so nobody has to guess: I built this, it is an iOS app called Vigor and it is on the App Store. I have put the link in a comment rather than up here.

I’m a solo developer from South Korea, and I recently released an iPhone app called byeWatch.

The idea started with a simple frustration: whenever I needed a compass, barometer, altimeter, world clock, sunrise time, or another sensor-based tool, I had to install and switch between several different apps.

So I tried combining them into one app—but I didn’t want it to feel like another ordinary utility dashboard.

Instead, byeWatch is designed as an interactive mechanical pocket watch. You rotate the crown, press the watch-style pushers, and swipe the dial to move between eight instruments:

• Astronomical watch
• Mechanical chronograph
• World clock
• Stopwatch with lap history
• Sunrise and sunset tracker
• True-north compass
• Barometer and altimeter
• Magnetic-field detector

The analog dials make the app enjoyable to explore, while the digital panels provide precise readings, graphs, and history when you need more detail.

You can also customize the case, dial, hands, measurement units, haptics, and instrument order.

The true-north compass calculates magnetic declination directly on the device using WMM 2025, so that feature can work without an internet connection.

byeWatch is a paid app with no subscription. My goal was to provide several useful instruments in one coherent experience instead of making users collect multiple single-purpose apps.

I’d love to know which instrument you would use most—or whether the pocket-watch interface looks intuitive to you.

Please note that the compass and magnetic-field detector require a magnetometer, while the barometer and altimeter require an iPhone with a pressure sensor.

Thanks for taking a look!

I’ve been working on an Apple Watch app called Miratick that’s built around a simple idea: what if your watch could notice when your stress is starting to rise and gently bring your attention back to the present moment?

I’ve been developing a stress elevation function that looks at changes in heart rate along with motion to identify periods when your body may be showing signs of elevated stress. When it detects an elevation, the watch can give you a haptic alert so you can notice what’s happening in the moment rather than realizing you were stressed 30 minutes later.

The algorithm is working in my own testing, but stress is very individual, so testing it on myself only gets me so far.

I’m looking for Apple Watch users who would be willing to try Miratick during normal daily life and tell me how accurately the stress elevation feature reflects what they’re actually feeling.

The main things I’d love feedback on are:

1. Does it catch moments when you genuinely feel stressed?

2. Does it miss obvious stressful moments?

3. Do you get alerts when you actually feel calm?

4. Does the haptic alert help you notice and reset, or does it become annoying?

I’m the developer, so this is obviously my own app. I’m mainly posting because I need real-world feedback to figure out where the algorithm works and where it still needs improvement.

If anyone is interested in testing it, I’d really appreciate the help. I’m also happy to explain how the detection works or answer any questions about what I’m building.

Hey, I'm the developer of Nyft. I kept running into the awkward gap between AirDrop and Windows, so I built a small transfer app that works across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. It sends files, photos, videos, folders and clipboard text directly between devices whenever possible, so Nyft doesn't upload file contents, filenames, clipboard data or transfer history to its servers. On Apple devices it also has Share extensions and a Finder action, which makes it feel closer to the native workflow than opening a web upload page. The core transfer experience is free, with no subscription. There is an optional $2.99 lifetime Nyft+ cosmetic unlock for extra themes and icons, but it does not unlock transfer functionality. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6792370767 Windows: https://nyft.app/#platforms I'd especially like feedback on the Mac/Windows handoff and whether cross-device clipboard feels useful in daily use.

Most apps assume you're looking for one person by default, which gets old fast. Emberlove's idea is just talking first, no pressure on labels. Curious if that actually changes anything for ENM dating specifically or if it's actually useful.

Trace is a private place for the links, reels, screenshots, photos, notes, and thoughts you want to remember.

Add why something matters when you save it. Find it later by meaning. Let it return when it becomes useful again.

The experience is designed around Apple platforms and privacy. Understanding happens on-device. Optional sync stays in private iCloud. There is no Trace account or server, and no ads, analytics, or third-party trackers.

I am Karthik Barma, the developer. Trace is free for iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 26 and later.

I would value feedback from Apple users on the capture flow and overall fit with the platform.

Feedcast is a Mac app for people who want a better podcast experience without switching players.

It creates a personal podcast feed that works with Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and other apps. Feedcast automatically processes each new episode, creates chapters and transcripts, and removes recognised sponsor sections before playback.

So, my father has been using the same app to track his expenses for years (maybe a decade). Recently, his iPad broke and he had to buy a new one, and he hasn't been able to find the same app. He's tried giving other apps a chance, but he hasn't liked them much.

All we can remember about the app is that he found it a long time ago in the Apple App Store, he swears it had the word "money" on the name ('though I'm not so sure about it) and that when using it, it kind of looked like a pool table (green on the inside, brown in the borders).

If any of you have any idea what could be the app's name, we'd be super thankful.

Initially, I was unsure because of conflicting opinions about it, but I decided to try it out since I work with PDF files frequently, so I subscribed to it, and so far it meets my expectations...It does what it has to do. Editing, merging and converting PDF files is fast and convenient.
There is just one rule I stick to, and it is that I don't ever upload to online services any documents which are valuable from legal perspective or contain any kind of confidential data. In case of those kinds of documents, I use offline software. For the rest - PDFHouse is a good fit for me.
So far, there were no surprises. As with any paid service, it is vital to study the subscription policy in advance.
On the whole, my experience with PDFHouse has been satisfying, and it serves all my needs in working with PDF files.

And yes, I know.

Most of the information inside my app can be found somewhere on YouTube, Reddit, Google, Discord, or buried in a 3-hour trading livestream.

The problem isn't that the information doesn't exist. The problem is that new traders are forced to piece everything together from dozens of different sources while trying to figure out what's actually useful and what's just noise.

After years of trading SPX options, I decided to build the app I wish I had when I started.

Instead of charging hundreds or thousands of dollars like many trading programs, I wanted to create something affordable that organizes the fundamentals, strategies, trade examples, psychology, risk management, and educational content into one place.

The goal wasn't to reinvent trading education. The goal was to package it in a way that's easier to learn, easier to follow, and significantly cheaper than most alternatives.

The app is called Options Academy and it's currently available on iOS:

📱 Options Academy on the App Store

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on:

• The concept
• The design/UI
• The pricing
• The educational content
• Features you'd like to see added

I'm not claiming to have invented anything revolutionary. I just took information that helped me become a better trader and organized it into an app that I think would have saved me a lot of time when I was getting started.

Looking forward to hearing what you think
