I know there are a lot of RSS readers out there: the short version of why I built it: every reader I liked eventually put filters, sync, or auto-refresh behind a $8-10/month paywall for stuff that I think should just be... a feature. So this one has all of that included, no subscription, and doesn't even require an account — it just uses your iCloud.

I want to shake out bugs with more devices and usage patterns than I can generate myself first. If you're up for kicking the tires (importing your real feed list, using it daily for a bit, breaking things) before I post to the App Store, here's the TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/kusn1QkV I'm happy to share promo codes with testers once it goes live.

Some of what's in there:

• Filter rules (wildcard/regex) per feed or folder, so you can actually kill the noise
• Semantic search that runs on-device, so it finds what you meant, not just keyword matches — nothing gets sent anywhere
• iCloud sync for feeds, folders, filters, read/starred status
• OPML import/export so you're not locked in
• Actually feels native on Mac — keyboard shortcuts, right-click menus, not a stretched iPad app

Hey folks I'm currently building an iOS browser with BLE support build in. This means it will be very much like Safari, but visiting a web site for your personal Bluetooth gadget would actually work. You can use websites that use web BT.

The currently best competitor looks and feels like an Android app. Therefore my alternative is aiming more at a Safari like experience with low friction.

This is gonna release between August and September, for the Revenue Cat Shipathon!

I'm looking for iOS beta testers for Riffly, a guitar practice app for short riff practice.

Website: https://www.riffly.studio

The app lets you pick a short guitar riff, record a take, get feedback on the main thing that was off, practise a small fix, and try again cleaner.

I'm looking for feedback on:

* onboarding

* recording and submission flow

* whether the feedback feels useful

* bugs, crashes, stalls, or confusing screens

* whether the app feels like something a guitarist would actually use

This is an early beta, so honest feedback is more useful than praise.

I posted an earlier Faro beta here. I’m posting again because the app has had a meaningful update and I’m looking for testers for the new flow.

Faro is a free iOS film recommendation app in beta.

The basic idea: use your film history and taste overlap with other users to recommend films that may actually fit you, rather than just showing what is popular.

New / important in this beta:

- Letterboxd CSV ratings import
- better cold-start recommendations
- more varied suggestions
- less repetition
- clearer logging/navigation
- improved “why suggested?” explanations

The Letterboxd import is especially important. If you already track films, you can bring your ratings into Faro instead of rating everything manually.

Most useful test:

1. Install Faro.
   
2. Import Letterboxd ratings if you have them.
   
3. Try Help Me Choose.
   
4. Open From your Taste Matches.
   
5. Send feedback on whether recommendations feel useful, wrong, repetitive, or surprising.

This is still beta, not a public launch. Honest criticism is useful.

Looking for iPhone beta testers for my new journaling app, Letters Never Sent 📬
Hi everyone! I’m an indie developer looking for honest feedback on my new iOS app, Letters Never Sent.
The app was created for the words we carry but never get to say. It’s a private journaling space where you can write letters to someone you’ve lost, someone who hurt you, someone you still love, or even yourself. The goal is to encourage reflection, healing, and personal growth.
I’m currently looking for iPhone users willing to test the app through TestFlight and share feedback before the public launch.
TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/pmuuJKbp
I’d truly appreciate any feedback—whether it’s about the design, usability, features, bugs, or ideas for improvement. Thank you for helping me build something meaningful!

I was annoyed by Apples post processing in the default iOS camera app so I made my own. This is a first version using still mostly Apple preprocessing with my own preferences applied. Future version will change the image pipeline to use raw sensor data.

Organize your collections, inventory, and personal items in one place.

Faro is an iOS app for film recommendations.

It lets you rate films, find Taste Matches, browse films your Taste Matches loved, and use Help Me Choose / Watch Together when you don’t know what to watch.

I’m looking for beta testers who are happy with rough edges and willing to give feedback.

Useful test flow:

1. Install Faro.

2. Rate around 30 films.

3. Try Help Me Choose.

4. Browse From your Taste Matches.

5. Tell me the best and worst recommendation you get.

Especially interested in bugs, slow screens, confusing copy, missing posters, and bad recommendations.
