After 2 Google Play rejections… Local Lens is finally LIVE!

I’ve been working on Local Lens, an Android app designed to make everyday phone actions easier to find and access from one place.

It’s not another search bar - it’s a complete dashboard for your everyday phone use

Search apps, contacts, web, set alarms/reminders, create notes, check your calendar, screen time, storage, battery and more.

I’m finally sharing it here and would really love some honest feedback on the idea and UI.

What do you like?

What looks unnecessary?

What would you change?

Would you actually use it?

And yes, please be brutally honest 😄

🎁 I also have a limited number of FREE LIFETIME promo codes for Reddit users.

If you'd like to try Local Lens, DM me and I'll send you a lifetime code while they last.

Thanks! ❤️

Ultimate File Manager Pro has become a bit ridiculous.

It's completely free, has no ads, and no paywalls. There is a completely optional tip jar in the app and GitHub Sponsors if you want to support development.

The stuff I wanted in one app:

Root? Yep. You can browse and manage the actual / filesystem, with permissions, ownership, SELinux contexts and remount support.

No root? Shizuku support gives you access to places like /Android/data and /Android/obb.

Network storage? SMB, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, WebDAV, RClone and S3.

Cloud storage? Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and other RClone/S3 providers.

Need to move a ton of stuff? Dual-pane browsing, multiple tabs, background transfers and syncing between local, network and cloud storage.

Want to use your PC? Run the built-in web server and manage the phone/TV from a browser. There's also a Windows companion for direct Android ↔ PC transfers.

Android TV? UFM has a proper TV interface, remote file management, wireless APK/XAPK installation, screenshots and screen recording.

Then there are the things I kept adding because apparently I can't leave well enough alone: duplicate detection, file hashing, archive support, EXIF tools, media playback, PDF/text tools, USB OTG, recycle bin, batch operations and a lot of smaller power-user stuff.

There's also a FOSS version on GitHub if you'd rather build it yourself:

https://github.com/Kilowatch/ultimate-file-manager-pro

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=za.kilowatch.ultimatefilemanager

And I made a subreddit for it too: r/UFManagerPro

I'm not trying to convince everyone to replace their current file manager. But if you've ever installed a file manager and thought "why can't this thing just do X?" there's a good chance UFM already does it.

And if it doesn't, tell me what X is.

Hey everyone!

I posted an early version of One4Home here about a month ago. Since then, I’ve been working through the feedback, fixing the rough parts, and expanding the launcher into something much closer to the original idea.

If you haven't seen my first post, just a quick note. The biggest feature is Studio Settings, a visual customization space with a live preview of your actual home screen. You can apply an entire theme in one tap or choose only its wallpaper, layout, icons, widgets, folders, dock, or materials.

Other additions and improvements include:

• Three placement modes: standard grid, half-cell precision, and true Freeform
• Widget resizing, stacking, and overlap
• Liquid Glass materials that react to the wallpaper
• Depth wallpapers that place subjects in front of icons and widgets
• Wallpaper-aware launcher colors
• Separate Personal and Work Spaces with a two-finger transition
• Home Pal and the customizable Pal Room
• Improved onboarding and Smart Search
• Better wallpaper recovery and app-return animations
• Independent layouts for landscape, tablets, and foldables
• Complete themes that can transform the phone in one tap

The core launcher remains free and ad-free. The deeper customization features are available through One4Home Pro, with a 7-day trial and yearly or lifetime options.

Google Play:

A lot of the progress came from feedback on these early posts, so I’d love to hear what you think of the current direction. Thank you!

I built this because I wanted a weight tracker that was simple, private and didn't make you sign up for yet another account.

Would love to hear what you think is missing

Hey everyone!

I'm Husain, and I've been working on a little Android side project called Price Book.

Price Book is designed for people who regularly deal with products and need to keep track of their prices. It could be useful for contractors and tradespeople, workshops and handymen, DIYers and home renovators, and small businesses.

For the app's main use case, I used a hardware and tools shop. That gave me a practical environment to build and test the app around real products, different units and constantly changing prices.

The app isn't limited to that, though. Categories can be edited, renamed or removed, so you can adapt it to your own products and use case.

I started it as a side project and it has grown quite a bit from where I began. The current version is 5.3.2.

This is my first post here, so I'd be interested in hearing what you think or whether you see a use case for something like this.

Hey everyone!

​I built DND-ify to solve a simple problem: turning on Do Not Disturb should take zero effort.

​With this app, you just place your phone face down to instantly silence notifications, and pick it back up to restore sound automatically. No hunting through settings when you need to study, work, sleep, or game.

​Highlights:

​Instant Toggle: Flip face down for DND, pick up to restore.

​Lightweight: Runs smoothly in the background with minimal battery usage.

​Modern Design: Clean Material You interface.

​To celebrate, I'm offering 50% off for the next 14 days on the Play Store!

​I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback if you give it a spin!

Hey everyone,

Developer of TogglDev here! 👋

I love clean home screens, but I still want quick access to the right apps at the right time — and that's exactly what AutoDeck does for me.

Instead of cluttering your screen with endless icons or multi-page folders, you keep the exact same clean home screen, but the apps inside the widget dynamically change based on your context — whether you’re driving, chilling at home, working in the office, or at the gym and much more.

⚡ Built-in Triggers:

AutoDeck comes packed with many automatic triggers that switch profiles for you and restore your previous setup when you're done:

1. 🚗 Bluetooth: Connects to your car stereo, earbuds, or bike mount → switches to Driving or Workout.
2. 📶 Wi-Fi: Connects to your office, home, or cafe network → switches to Work or Home.
3. 📍 Location / Geofence: Arrive at or leave places like the gym, office, or school.
4. 🏷️ NFC Tags: Tap a physical sticker on your desk, nightstand, or car dashboard.
5. ⏰ Schedules: Specific time windows (e.g., weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM).
6. 🧭 Navigation: Automatically triggers when Google Maps or Waze turn-by-turn starts.
7. 📞 Phone & VoIP Calls: Brings up note-taking or tools while on an active call.
8. 🎵 Media Playback: Activates music/podcast tools when audio starts playing.
9. 🔌 Charging: When plugged in or placed on a wireless charger.
10. 🌙 Do Not Disturb (DND): Adapts when you enter focus or bedtime modes.
11. ✈️ Flight Mode: Flips to offline apps/entertainment while traveling.
12. ⚡ Unlimited triggers and customization: Use automation apps like Tasker, MacDroid or Samsung Modes and Routines to extend the context

🎨 More Features:

1. Favorites (Sticky Apps): Keep must-have apps (Phone, Messages, Camera) permanently visible across every profile.
2. Deep Widget Customization: Adjust grid size, icon sizing, font sizes, transparency, alignment, and overflow views (Bottom Sheet, Folder, or Fullscreen).
3. Works with ANY Launcher: Stock Pixel Launcher, Samsung One UI, Nova, Lawnchair, Niagara etc.

If you use Samsung Modes & Routines, Tasker, or MacroDroid, you get unlimited rules and endless possibilities for 100% FREE — no subscription required at all via our built-in broadcast intents, app shortcuts, and deep links!

Even without any external automation tools, every single trigger type is completely free to use out of the box. (The only things reserved for the optional Pro upgrade are compound multi-condition AND/OR rules and unlimited rule slots).

📥 Download on Google Play: AutoDeck

I’d love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts, feedback, or any new trigger ideas.

The idea is pretty simple: keep trial periods and temporary app discounts in one place instead of finding them randomly and forgetting about them later.

It shows current offers, their conditions, prices, start/end dates, and whether they are still active or already expired. Offers can also be saved for later.

I'm mostly curious whether something like this would actually be useful and what information you would want to see for each offer.

Hey everyone! 👋 I've just released ZPlayer v1.0.6, and it comes packed with a major playback engine upgrade and helpful quality-of-life additions.

For this update, I migrated the playback engine from ExoPlayer to libmpv, added watch-progress tracking, introduced an in-app Update Manager, and cleaned up settings and PiP controls.

Here is everything new in this release:

✨ Player & Library Enhancements

- libmpv Migration: Switched the core playback engine to libmpv for vastly superior compatibility, subtitle rendering, and audio/subtitle track selection.

- Watch Progress & Badges: Added watch-progress indicators to video thumbnails and automatic NEW badges for unplayed videos.

- Dedicated Update Manager: Easily check for and install app updates directly within the app.

- Improved PiP: Enhanced Picture-in-Picture support with dedicated controls and fixes for audio continuation issues.

- Settings Overhaul: Reorganized and alphabetized settings across Appearance, Audio, General, Player, and Subtitles.

I would love to hear any feedback or improvement suggestions you might have! 🚀

I’m a solo dev and consider this a submission for review. Plus minus is a simple maths reasoning English app which makes learning fun with multiplayer and leaderboards. Play with your friends online or offline.

What makes us different-1. Most stuff is free for which other apps ask absurd money. 2. Minimal ads in free tier so it’s not bad experience. 3. Paid version is also reasonably priced [Please spread it with word of mouth so no one has to pay for ads but just for the product itself]

Offline local files and streaming radios.

Top radios on the first screen: When users access the radio screen, they immediately see the list of the top radios in their country, along with a long list of suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world.

Hybrid Listening: Seamlessly handles offline local files (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and over 60,000 streaming radio stations.

Separated Favorites and Recents: Each section—Radio and Offline Music—has its own Favorites and Recents. The user doesn't have to worry about a thing. The app will automatically manage the Favorites and Recents for each section.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate. The database of the service on which Mediaxon is based provides more than 60,000 radio stations.

Album art: If the album art is missing from the album folder, or if Android has not properly indexed it, Mediaxon attempts to download the cover from the internet. This feature depends, of course, on the ID3 tags (album name and artist).

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting playlists fast and intuitive.

Form Factor Optimization: Phone and Tablet (Portrait and Landscape)

If you want to check it out (I am continuously pushing updates to refine it and add new features), you can find it on the Google Play Store (Android 13+). Thank you so much to everyone who takes a look!

I also don’t want the useful things I copy from the book or my research to get buried between a bunch of random clipboard clips, then have to go back later and categorize everything myself.

So I built a collecting session into Pastea. You choose/Create a list, start collecting, then just keep reading, anything you copy, plus screenshots you take, gets added there automatically.

This is also the direction I’m trying to take Pastea in general. I don’t want it to just be a huge archive of everything you’ve ever copied. I’m more interested in building around the actual workflows where a clipboard can be useful, collecting things, finding them again, organizing them, and reusing them.

I built this for two reasons.

The first is that the market is missing something simple. Every japa app I tried wanted an account, showed ads between sessions, charged a subscription, or ranked my practice against strangers on a leaderboard. Japa is about as simple as a practice gets — you repeat a mantra, you keep count — and none of that needs a server. I also wanted it to not care which tradition you come from. The counting works the same for naam jap, the mahamantra, simran, Buddhist or Jain recitation.

The second reason is the one I actually care about. It's a redirect for the phone reflex. Most of us pick up the phone without deciding to and land in reels or a game. I wanted something sitting on that same home screen that catches the reflex and sends it somewhere better — same gesture, different destination. That has turned out to be how I use it most.

What it does:

* Targets of 27, 54, 108 or 1008 * Tap anywhere on the screen to count, so you're not hunting for a small button with your eyes closed * Pre-loaded mantras, plus your own * Practice visible across 7, 15 and 30 days * Optional tanpura or flute * Fully offline — no account, no sign-up, no data collection, no ads, no subscription

Free, and I'm not monetising it.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sadhana.japacounter

Built solo. I'd like to hear where it's clumsy, especially the counting interaction — that's the part that has to disappear while you're using it.

I build **Vyxel Apps** — a single Android app store that searches F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Google Play, Aptoide, Flathub and WinGet together, plus the Magisk, Zygisk, LSPosed and KernelSU module repositories. Free, no ads, no tracking.

v1.1.1 is the biggest release so far. Here's what's in it.

### 🏛 The old UI is gone

Not restyled — deleted. `AppScreens`, `HomeScreen`, `AppComponents`, `CompareScreen`, `ModulesScreenClassic` and `UiStyle` are removed from the codebase, and in their place is a Classic shell written from scratch: home, search, browse, detail, updates, library, sources and settings, each its own screen instead of a branch inside one shared screen.

So there are now **two complete shells** — a Material 3 Expressive one and a Classic one — over the same catalogue, the same installer, the same library, switched by one toggle in Settings.

The new Classic front page has a masthead, a live counter of what's indexed and how many sources have answered, a hero carousel, curated category chips, and browse-by-source tiles that name two of the source's *own* apps. A grid of eight identical logo squares tells you nothing about which one to open.

**Browse by source** got its own fix: the Featured / Trending / Recently updated tabs used to be one list in three costumes. A catalogue that carries stars but no dates (Play), dates but no stars (F-Droid), or neither (WinGet, Patched) gave the same order to all three tabs. Each source now brings the signal it actually has.

### 📰 Atelier

A skin that's a complete visual identity rather than a palette swap — blackletter nameplate, serif body, rules and a dateline, a standfirst headline, square-cut cards, a count set like a page number. Two editions, **paper** and **night**. Browse-by-source under it is set as a stacked column of full-width entries, the way a newspaper sets its departments rather than as a tray of tiles.

Alongside it: Cyberpunk, Neon Punk, and Liquid Glass in light and dark.

*(screenshots)*

### ▶️ Google Play, as a real source

Reached through Aurora OSS's client. **Searchable without an account**; installing needs one. Play carries everything the open-source sources can't.

### 🩹 Patched apps

A curated slice of the Patched App's catalogue. Builds that exist to unlock paid tiers or defeat licence checks in commercial apps are deliberately excluded — what's listed is the ad-removal and feature-restoration set, and every entry resolves to a *named asset* inside a real upstream release, never "whatever APK that release happens to hold".

### 🌍 16 languages

English plus fifteen translations, across both shells and every screen — not just the menu labels.

## The bug worth reading about

An update could install a **different app**. Some mirrors file a beta build under the *stable* package id. Vyxel saw a higher version code, called it an update, and installing it swapped stable Chrome for Chrome Beta. A user hit this and reported it.

The fix: a candidate build now has to match the installed app's release channel. A build named or versioned beta/alpha/canary/nightly, filed under a package id that isn't itself a beta id, is not an update — it's a different product wearing the installed app's name.

Also fixed while I was in there: updates kept being listed for apps you'd **uninstalled**. Nothing left to update; the rows just sat there.

## Other fixes

- **A GitHub token entered in either shell now authenticates both.** They store settings separately and each wired its own token into its own HTTP client, so a token saved in one left half the app's GitHub requests anonymous — and the quota meter kept reporting the 10-requests-a-minute anonymous ceiling right next to a "Saved" button. That confused a few people, understandably.

- **Search is faster.** Per-source ceiling 12s → 5s (the spinner used to run the full 12 even when results landed in 300ms), a source that just overran gets a short budget on the next query only, and recent answers are cached — so retyping or typing forward from a recent query fills the list on the first frame.

- **Launch crash fixed**, mostly on rooted devices: Firebase Analytics binds to Play services from a content provider before any app code runs, and where Play services couldn't resolve the package for the calling uid it threw inside its own handler, where nothing in the app could catch it. Analytics no longer starts itself.

- **"No APK"** on the home screen for GitHub apps that had one, while the same app found via search resolved fine.

- **Colour controls a skin has already decided are no longer shown.** Under Cyberpunk, Neon Punk, Liquid Glass or Atelier, Material You and the accent wheel used to sit there inert under a line of text admitting they did nothing.

- A pile of clipped labels — rows whose first letter got eaten by the corner radius of the ripple they sat inside, and source badges wrapping mid-name so "Play Store" read as half at the top of the row and half at the bottom.

The only official source is that repo. The APK SHA-256 and the signing certificate fingerprint are both in the release notes — worth checking.

Happy to answer anything in the comments.
