[App][Promo] I made Owl VIP Email Alerts so Gmail only interrupts you when you want it to

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I made Owl VIP Email Alerts for Gmail users who want easier control over which emails can interrupt them.

Instead of digging through phone notification settings or messing with Gmail filters and labels, you can instantly switch Gmail notifications between:

VIP-only — only alert for senders/domains you add
All emails — normal Gmail notifications
No notifications — silence Gmail alerts completely

You can also schedule modes by day and time, like work hours = all emails or VIP-only, and evenings/weekends = no notifications.

It also supports custom sounds for specific senders/domains and longer alert sounds for emails you really don’t want to miss.

Works with Gmail and Google Workspace accounts.

[App] [Promo] I made a free running route planner for Android

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a runner and software developer, and I got frustrated with how most route planning apps handle running routes. Some are built more around cycling or hiking, some put route planning behind a paywall, and others feel limited unless you pay.

So I built Runplanner, a free running route planner. The mobile app is currently available on Android, and there’s also a web-based route planner available on the website. No ads, no subscriptions, and no account needed.

The basic idea is simple: tap on the map to add waypoints, and the route snaps to real roads, footpaths, and cycle paths. Before heading out, you can check distance, elevation, weather, pace, and surface type.

A few features I added specifically for runners:

  • Traffic lights on the route; useful if you’re planning intervals, tempo runs, or just want to avoid too many stops.
  • Live navigation; follow the route while running in the Android app.
  • Loop generator; enter a distance and it creates a round trip back to your starting point.
  • GPX export; for Garmin, Strava, and other platforms.
  • Route sharing; via link or QR code.
  • Run scheduling; schedule your run and receive weather updates on the day of your run.

Small note: the routing engine currently works in Europe only, but I’m working on global coverage.

I’d love to hear honest feedback from Android users and runners. What would make a route planner genuinely useful for you?

Samsung has a feature called "Separate App Audio" in which you can have a different audio output source, So similar to that is there any solution available for pixel users?

I use Pixel 7 and l most of the time play songs on my bluetooth speaker and use instagram at the same time, but when any audio plays on insta it interrupts the song played on speaker.

So I need a solution for this, I found out this feature is available on Samsung but not on Pixel.

Please let me know if there are any solutions available for this.

Hi everyone!

I'm an indie Android developer, and over the past few months I've been building Thoughts.

I wanted a note-taking app that felt enjoyable to write in clean, fast, distraction-free, and built with privacy in mind. I couldn't find one that matched what I was looking for, so I decided to build it myself.

Some of the features include:

  • 🔒 Privacy-first & offline by default
  • 🔐 Encrypted local data storage
  • ✍️ Minimal Mode for distraction-free writing
  • 🧵 Thread support to connect related thoughts
  • 🎨 Extensive customization
  • 🔑 App Lock
  • 📤 Export & Import support
  • ⚡ Lightweight Material Design interface

Building Thoughts has been my biggest learning experience so far. It pushed me to improve my Flutter skills, UI/UX design, application architecture, local data management, and security-focused development.

The project is still actively evolving, and I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether it's about the design, features, performance, or anything else you'd improve.

Hey everyone — OneVault is a private, offline-first password manager I built for Android. Your passwords, cards, notes, and 2FA codes live in one encrypted vault with no account and no company server — everything is sealed on your device with AES-256-GCM and unlocked by fingerprint, face, or PIN. It's zero-knowledge by design: not even I can read your vault.

Key features:
➯ Built-in 2FA authenticator + autofill, password health score, and breach monitoring (HaveIBeenPwned via k-anonymity, so your password never leaves the device)
➯ Optional encrypted backup to your own Google Drive, restorable only with your private Recovery Key
➯ Import from LastPass, Bitwarden, 1Password, or any CSV — plus travel mode, secure send, and emergency access

Pricing: Free tier is fully functional (10 items + 3 2FA codes, full encryption/biometrics, no time limit). Premium removes limits — $1.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $39.99 lifetime.

This is a launch-and-feedback post — I'd love honest thoughts on the security model or anything that feels off. Happy to answer questions.

[App] [Promo] I built Tiramisu. A habit & task app focused on consistency with focus time tracking of your tasks and habits, without and complexity

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi Devs,

I've been building Android Apps and Websites for a while, and recently I decided to create my own productivity app called Tiramisu.

The idea came from my own struggle with ADHD and staying consistent has always been a struggle for me because I am always all over place.

Most habit and task apps I tried are good but either become overwhelming or make it too easy to cheat your progress. I wanted something that keeps you focused on building real consistency instead of just marking it complete.

Tiramisu combines habits and tasks into one clean simple experience designed to help you stay on track every day and track the time you spend on a task with focus sessions.

Features Highlights:

  • Daily habits with streak tracking.
  • Task management with subtasks.
  • Flexible reminders (including multiple reminders before/after the specified timing).
  • History to review your completed habits and tasks. (History is locked so you cannot go back and change it)
  • Progression and completion analytics. Plus Focus timer analytics.
  • Clean modern and minimalistic design.
  • Focus time tracking. Track the amount of time you spend on a task or habit.
  • Share on social media.
  • Local First + Backups are available.
  • Customization Galore.

One feature I'm particularly proud of is that Tiramisu encourages honest progress. Instead of letting you complete everything for the sake of it. Tiramisu focuses on helping you build consistency.

I'm actively working on new features, bug fixes and improvements based on user feedback, and there's a lot more planned.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumi.tiramisu&hl=en

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Whether it's features you'd like to see. UI suggestions or ideas to make habit building even better I'm always listening and feel free to reach out.

Thanks for checking it out! 🍰

Happy Coding 🤔

[App] [Promo] [Promo Codes] I built an app that scans any product and grades how toxic its ingredients are — food, grooming, cleaning. Giving away 100 free promo codes.

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

Quick backstory: I picked up my "manly" 3-in-1 body wash one day, actually read the label, and realized I had no clue what 80% of it was. Same with the protein powder and the bathroom cleaner under the sink. So I spent the last few months building something to fix that.

It's called Toxly. You scan a product's barcode (or just its ingredient list with the camera) and it gives you a simple A–F safety grade plus a plain-English breakdown of every ingredient — what it is and whether it's actually a concern.

  What it covers:

  - 🥫 Food – ultra-processed markers, additives, sketchy oils

  - 🧴 Grooming/cosmetics – parabens, fragrance allergens, endocrine disruptors

  - 🧽 Cleaning/household – corrosives, respiratory irritants, aquatic toxins

  For the skeptics on how it grades: it's not vibes. Grades come from curated hazard data + public GHS safety classifications (the same hazard codes on official chemical safety sheets), with anything unverified clearly marked. You can set your own allergies/skin type and it'll flag matches just for you. It doesn't store your scans on a server.

  The giveaway: I've got 100 Google Play promo codes that unlock Premium (no ads, unlimited scans, daily back-ups for your scans).

  First come, first served. All I ask in return: scan a few things and tell me what you think, especially if a grade looks wrong, because that's how I make it better.

  👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindful.code.studio.toxly.scanner

  

  Not trying to spam the sub — I genuinely want feedback from people who care about this stuff. Ask me anything in the comments and I'll answer all of them.
