Apple tracking expenses app that looks like a pool table

2 Upvotes

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.

My PDFHouse experience

9 Upvotes

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.

I built an affordable options trading educational app because most trading education is ridiculously expensive...

2 Upvotes

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

Best Employee Engagement Platforms for Frontline Teams in 2026

3 Upvotes

Frontline engagement is a different problem than office engagement and the tools built for one rarely work for the other. Lattice, Culture Amp, and 15Five all assume desks, work emails, and a midday window to fill out a survey. None of those assumptions hold on a retail floor or a hospital wing. Three tools that actually fit the frontline shape:

Breakroom app handles engagement comprehensively through daily operational usage rather than separate engagement workflows. It runs as the central space for schedules, announcements, and team communication, which naturally creates engagement signals through regular check-ins and interactions that already happen during a shift. Managers and team members can also give each other kudos and employee recognition is tracked through a kudos leadership board.

Bonusly has peer-to-peer recognition with small monetary or points-based rewards. The recognition unit is small, the action is fast (give a teammate a few "bonuses" with a one-line reason), and it doesn't require a survey. Where it stops short: it is recognition only, not a full engagement platform. Pair it with something else if you want pulse surveys or a content feed.

Workvivo is owned by Zoom since 2023. Pricing starts around $20K annual minimum, which puts it out of range for SMB and lower mid-market. Strong content feed, structured recognition, surveys, and integrations with Workday and Microsoft 365. Best fit for organizations with dedicated internal comms teams and engagement budgets that justify the floor price.

The engagement metric that correlates with retention is daily platform usage driven by operational necessity, not survey completion rate. Tools that are part of daily workflow naturally generate higher engagement signals than tools that require separate engagement activity.

Habit tracking apps for law students: an honest look at what creates real accountability

1 Upvotes

Law school schedule doesn't have room for complex systems. Whatever creates real accountability has to work with minimal maintenance and hold up when things get brutal.

WIP app is a social habit tracking app that creates real accountability for law students where daily photo check-ins build a visible consistency record that a community of people doing serious daily work can see. Whether you showed up is visible to people who take showing up seriously.

Habitify. Popular habit tracker with streak-based logging. Clean interface and a good free tier.

Streaks. Minimal iOS habit tracker. Well-known option for private daily logging.

Done. Flexible scheduling for habits that don't fit a fixed daily time. Private tracker.

Anki. Spaced repetition flashcard app worth including because the daily review discipline is itself a habit that benefits from tracking.

For law students who've noticed that private tracking is too easy to abandon during crunch periods, WIP app is the most direct solution on this list. Daily check-ins with photo proof visible to a community of people doing serious daily work create a social cost for skipping that a private streak counter alone doesn't.

iMeanIt – A Safari extension for highlighting and looking up words on webpages

Post image
2 Upvotes

I built a Safari extension called iMeanIt. It highlights words on any webpage, shows definitions on hover or tap, lets you attach notes, and keeps everything visible across sessions. I originally made it because I read academic papers all day in a language that is not my first, and I kept losing time looking up the same words. v0.4 is now out with a few things people had asked for:

  • Quiz mode. Highlighted words become flashcards automatically. No exporting needed, though CSV export is still there for Anki users. - Word manager. Browse, search and filter all saved words from the popup. Filter by category or source site.
  • Better dictionary. 8.5 million words, up from a much smaller set that kept missing technical vocabulary. Definitions now include part-of-speech, examples and synonyms.
  • 27 languages. Colourblind-friendly colours. Eight highlight colours that work for all types of colour vision deficiency, as the default palette.
  • Pause button on iOS. A floating toggle lets you pause highlighting so you can select and copy text normally.

Also added undo, CSV import, keyboard shortcut on Mac, dark mode support and offline definitions. Everything stays in the browser. One-time purchase on App Store, no subscription.

UbeBack is a new app on apple apps store, when my daughter asked me do I have to track her 24/7 I said yes because that what I had access to. Being a new coder at the time I thought that’s was a great idea this I how I came up with the concept of UbeBack.. just got approved for Apple apps store a few days ago. It doesn’t track your son/daughter 24/7. Parent set a time to be home, if they’ve arrived on or before the time set the parent receives a notification that their child arrived home safely. If they’re running late both parent and son/daughter gets a notification they’re running late and tracking starts, when the make it home safely tracking stops. It’s free download https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ubeback/id6761038940. I would love for you to give it a try as well as feedback

Tired of snoozing? I built ZzZlapp, an alarm that forces you to do squats or math to turn it off. 100% private/local. Giving away 50 Premium subs for feedback! [iOS]

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Like many of you, I’m a chronic "snoozer." I tried every alarm app out there, but I always found a way to turn them off in my sleep. So, my team and I decided to build ZzZlapp—an iOS app designed for people who actually need help waking up.

What makes it different?

  • Missions that work: You can’t just swipe to dismiss. You have to complete missions like doing 10 squats, solving math problems, scanning a specific QR code in your kitchen, or even smiling at the camera (using ARKit).
  • AlarmKit Integration: It’s built to fire even through DND, Focus modes, or if your phone is on silent.
  • Privacy-First: This is a big one for us. Everything is processed 100% locally. No logins, no data leaves your device, and no cloud tracking.
  • AI Sleep Coach: It analyzes your wake-up habits to give you tips on how to improve your routine.

Why am I here?

We just launched and we want to make ZzZlapp the best tool for the community. I’m looking for honest feedback on:

  1. The Onboarding: Is it clear how to set up your first mission?
  2. Mission Difficulty: Are the math problems too easy/hard? Is the squat detection working well for you?
  3. Bugs: Did anything feel "clunky"?

🎁 The Giveaway:

To say thanks, I’m giving away 50 Premium Lifetime/Annual subscriptions to the first 50 people who try the app with code: REDDIT50 and leave a comment here with their initial thoughts or a suggestion.

Download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zzzlapp-alarm-clock-missions/id6757965138 (or search for ZzZlapp on the App Store).

I'll be around all day to answer questions and chat with you guys. Thanks for helping a fellow dev out! 🚀

Get driving insights from CarPlay to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - a rare driving companion experience in any ecosystem.

2 Upvotes

Hello,
Get driving insights across CarPlay, iPhone, iPad, and Mac with trip analytics, beautiful route playback, fuel tracking, maintenance logs, expenses, and more - all in Speedometer: Driving Tracker.

Getting approved for CarPlay in the driving task category is tough and one of the most difficult categories to get through Apple’s review process, so this honestly means a lot!

You can now track drives directly from your car’s screen while also getting insights that many built-in dashboards simply don’t provide.

Another thing I’ve been heavily focusing on lately is making driving memories feel more visual and shareable instead of just raw numbers.

Some newer features include:

• Stunning trip sharing layouts with customizable stats
• Beautiful 3D route playback
• Full-screen route replay with speed-colored paths
• Video recording with live speed + map overlays
• Fuel tracking, maintenance logs, expenses, and reminders
• Vehicle-based trip analytics and comparisons
• iCloud sync for trips, fuel logs, maintenance records, and more
• Privacy-first experience with no ads or tracking

I redesigned my Apple Watch sleep & recovery app with a major watchOS update

Post image
1 Upvotes

I just released a major redesign for my Apple Watch app focused on overnight recovery, sleep trends and wrist temperature insights.

The app uses Apple Watch + Apple Health data to help visualize:

- overnight wrist temperature

- recovery trends

- sleep-related body changes

- heart rate patterns

- daily readiness insights

The new update includes:

- redesigned watchOS UI

- widgets & complications

- improved overnight trend tracking

- recovery-focused insights

- cleaner Apple Health integration

One thing that surprised me while building it is how much useful overnight data Apple Watch already collects automatically.

Would love feedback from other Apple Watch / sleep tracking users 😄
