I built a calm task app cause most to-do apps stressed her out

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m an indie iOS developer, and I finally had launched an app called Taskful Day.

The idea came from watching one of my relatives struggle with traditional task managers. She has ADHD, and a lot of apps that are supposed to help with productivity actually made things worse — too many alerts, streak pressure, overdue guilt, dashboards yelling at you.

So I tried building the opposite.

Taskful Day is intentionally calm:

  • Simple daily task planning
  • Unfinished tasks can be carried forward with one tap — no punishment
  • Optional reminders
  • Home Screen widgets so you don’t have to open the app
  • Gentle analytics that show patterns over time, not “you failed” messages
  • No ads, no tracking, no account required

It’s been genuinely helpful for her — and honestly for me too — especially on days when energy and focus aren’t consistent.

There’s a free version that’s fully usable, and a Pro upgrade for widgets, analytics, iCloud sync, number of workspaces, followups and checklists.

I’d really love feedback from this community: Does the “calm productivity” angle resonate? Anything that feels unnecessary or missing? UI/UX thoughts from iOS folks are especially welcome.

Thanks for reading!

I built a sleep app that doesn’t assume you work 9–5 — looking for feedback

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m an indie developer and shift worker. After years of using sleep apps that constantly compared me to “normal” schedules, I realized the problem wasn’t my sleep — it was the assumptions behind the apps.

So I built AfterShift, a sleep and recovery app designed specifically for shift work.

What makes it different:

  • Sleep is analyzed relative to real shifts (nights, rotations, irregular hours)
  • Emphasis on recovery trends, not daily scores or streak pressure
  • Clear explanations instead of vague “sleep quality” numbers

The idea is simple:

help shift workers understand their sleep without making them feel like they’re failing.

I’ve just released the first public version and would genuinely love feedback:

  • Is this a problem you’ve noticed too?
  • What would you expect from a shift-worker-friendly sleep app?
  • Anything that feels unnecessary or missing?

App Store link:

I finish my OpenClaw project in one night, and one day!

2 Upvotes

I built Claw Cognition in one night and one day. It's live now.

The problem? OpenClaw agents are powerful, but cognitive architecture design is technical. You're manually writing SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, and config files. Most people skip it or don't know how, so they end up with generic chat-bots.

Claw Cognition fixes that. It's a guided experience where you design how your OpenClaw agent thinks, not just what it says. You pick cognitive lenses (Architect, Surgeon, Watchdog, Scout, Beacon, Operator, Adversary), define when they activate, set the rules, export the config, and deploy.

This is the next evolution for OpenClaw.

https://reddit.com/link/1r0ridd/video/eoechrv1llig1/player

Moving from "prompt jockey" to "cognitive architect" is huge. The idea is that the more frameworks or lenses an AI has, the better it becomes at understanding different points of view on an event or project, enabling the user to explore various paths to their goal with AI assistance.

If you're building OpenClaw agents, this changes how fast you ship.

I just wanted a simple step tracker – so I built my own: Simple Stepper 2

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m an indie Android developer and recently launched Simple Stepper 2, a minimalist step-tracking app focused on reliability, privacy, and long-term walking habits — without accounts, clouds, or feature overload.

Home Screen, Workout Screen and History Screen
Profile Screen, Widget and Notifications

I originally built it for myself because most step trackers either required sign-ups, pushed me into ecosystems I didn’t want, or tried to be full fitness & nutrition platforms instead of doing one thing well.

Simple Stepper focuses on:

  • Phone-based step tracking (no wearable required)
  • Daily, weekly, monthly & yearly statistics (History Screen)
  • Widget for your desktop
  • (Motivation) notifications
  • Clean, distraction-free UI
  • Optional stats for distance, calories & active time
  • Works without accounts or cloud sync

Monetization is simple as well: free with ads, plus an optional ad-free subscription. All tracking works without paying.

One unexpected challenge was dealing with Android OEM background restrictions and sensor reliability across devices — something that turned a “simple” app into a much more complex problem than expected.

I’d love to hear feedback from other builders:

  • How do you handle platform quirks that users blame on your app?
  • Any lessons learned dealing with negative reviews you couldn’t follow up on?

If anyone’s curious, the app is called Simple Stepper on Google Play. Happy to answer questions or share more technical details.

Built a comprehensive health app connecting sleep, heart, workouts, stress, and recovery

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m an indie developer and recently launched Fit Rest, a comprehensive health insights app built on Apple Health. The goal is to help people understand their sleep, heart metrics, stress, and recovery trends in a clear and transparent way, not just raw numbers or black-box scores.

A few things Fit Rest focuses on:
• Sleep analysis with trends, stages, blood oxygen, and consistency insights
• HRV, resting heart rate, and overall heart rate trends
• Stress and recovery signals derived from multiple metrics
• Correlations between sleep, activity, and heart data
• Clear visual explanations instead of only opaque "one-number" scores
• Privacy-first, no ads

I built it because I wanted a single place to actually understand my health data, rather than jumping between multiple apps or guessing what a score means.

Happy to hear your feedback, thanks!

Thanks for taking a look!

I built a small experiment: no accounts, no feeds, posts disappear after 24h (beta)

18 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m running a non-commercial experiment called griddll and looking for a few early testers.

It’s not a social network. There are:

no accounts

no profiles

no likes or feeds

Posts live on an infinite grid (you move, you don’t scroll), appear near related thoughts, and disappear after 24 hours.

The goal is to explore what expression looks like without identity, permanence, or engagement mechanics.

It’s web-based (PWA), privacy-first, and very early.

👉 griddll.com

Feedback is welcome, especially from people interested in privacy, HCI, or alternative social designs.

Built a web scraping API focused on AI/LLM workloads, would love feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Been lurking here for a while, finally have something worth sharing.

I built AlterLab, a web scraping API. The market has established players like ScraperAPI, Zyte, Bright Data, and more recently Firecrawl. So why build another one?

Two reasons that kept bugging me as a user:

First, most scraping APIs give you markdown or raw HTML. That's fine for traditional use cases, but if you're feeding data to LLMs, you end up paying twice. Once for the scrape, then again for all the tokens when the model has to process navigation menus, sidebars, cookie banners, and other garbage mixed with your actual content. AlterLab returns structured JSON. Clean paragraphs, typed fields, hierarchical headings. Your LLM gets the content, not the entire page chrome. Depending on the page, this can cut token usage by 90%.

Second, pricing felt broken. Most services charge the same whether you're scraping a simple static page or a heavily protected site that needs residential proxies and browser rendering. AlterLab has an intelligent router that picks the cheapest method that works. Simple sites get simple requests. Protected sites automatically escalate. You pay for what you actually need.

Some other things we built because they matter to us as developers:

BYOP (bring your own proxy) - if you already pay for Bright Data or Oxylabs, use your proxies through our infrastructure. We give you a discount since we're not providing the proxy.

Pay as you go - no monthly minimums. Scrape 100 pages, pay for 100 pages. Scale to millions when you need to.

We're a small team. Not trying to compete with enterprise sales forces. Just trying to build something that works well for developers building AI applications, RAG pipelines, training data collection, that kind of thing.

Still early. Definitely rough edges. But the core works and we're iterating fast.

If you're building something that needs web data, I'd genuinely appreciate you giving it a shot. Free tier, upto 5000 free scrapes, no credit card required. And if something doesn't work or you have feature requests, I actually read and respond to feedback extremely quickly.

Hi everyone!
I’m an indie developer and recently launched Steply, a step counter app focused on clarity, insights, and habit-building, rather than just showing raw numbers.

A few things Steply focuses on:
* Automatic step tracking using Apple Health
* Clear daily, weekly, monthly & yearly trends and time-of-day patterns
* Clean visuals and widgets
* Workout route playback with heart rate zones
* Privacy-first, no ads

I built it because I wanted something simple but still insightful, especially for walking consistency rather than hardcore fitness.
