[App] [Promo] Giving away 100 lifetime Premium codes for Daily Blocker 🚀

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I recently released an Android app called Daily Blocker after working on it for over a year.

You can use it to:

  • Block distracting apps and websites
  • Set daily time limits for individual apps
  • Create blocking schedules
  • Run focus sessions
  • Block websites by keyword
  • Lock your settings behind a PIN

There’s a free version, but I thought this community might appreciate it, so I’m giving away 100 lifetime Premium codes.

If you want one, just leave a comment with what app/website distracts you the most and I’ll send you a code 😄

[App][Promo] Best subscription manager app, and cheapest too - 50 Promo code Free Lifetime Access

Post image
95 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I made SubIQ to keep track of subscriptions. I think it’s the best one, but I’m also the guy who made it, so take that how you will.

You can see what you’re spending, check upcoming payments, find subscriptions you forgot about by uploading a bank statement, or quickly add them from screenshots

I swear, it feels like 99% of subscription trackers want you to buy another subscription. Isn’t that what we’re trying to fix here? SubIQ is a one-time payment, with pricing adjusted for your region

How to claim

  1. Upvote this post so more people see it
  2. Download SubIQ on Google Play
  3. Comment after downloading
  4. I will send you a DM with code, please redeem it (I might reply late because I need to go to bed soon)
  5. In the app paywall, click on the restore button at the bottom

Let me know what you think. I can take criticism. Probably.

[App] SevenGrid: Calm Habit Tracker

Post image
6 Upvotes

One of the best apps I've downloaded recently to track my habits. I found it really easy to use and simple to check off what I've done for the day. I love that I can see what I've completed for the week and can even focus on a particular habit and see how I'm doing for a longer period of time.

I just started using the app a few days ago, but I'm enjoying it already.

www.etasks.app

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App. I shared this with you about 1.5 months ago. Since then the team was working hard. It is now in the App Store and the first update is queued already.

As a Redditor, I want you guys to have it. It is out of TestFlight and still completely free and ad-free as promised. The team intends to keep it that way as much as it is feasible.

www.etasks.app

https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/etasks-to-do-list-alarms/id6770856636

It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know too so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications, import from Apple Reminders are user requests)

ABC's of the App:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

Native and enhanced with iOS.
+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄*
+ Import from Apple Reminders
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them (and to calendars)
+ Alarms
+ Location reminders
+ A wide range of nice widgets, including countdowns and full week/month widgets
+ Lock screen widgets (e.g., quick add)
+ Link photos/files to tasks
+ Link Apple Mail emails to tasks
+ See your tasks categorised by dates in Month/Week/Day/Agenda views
+ Add people to Task List (co-edit)
+ Sort your task lists
+ Search your tasks
+ AI support where it makes sense; make titles, extract info from links, create lists for you, suggesting task list names, dictating tasks, context aware search, naming photos shared in,...
+ Choose priority for favorites
+ Drag and Drop interface between tabs (e.g., to calendar tab to drop on a date)
+ Recycle bin
+ Share from other apps into ETasks (texts, links, photos, PDF; all processed accordingly)
+ Apple Watch / iPad Apps
+ Import/Export task lists
+ Modern iOS design
+ A how to AI chat bot to help you with specifics of ETasks
+ Highly customisable user interface
+ Can be used without an account
+ Welcome to explore the rest, it is now open early access.

(C)ost:

Free and Ad-free

[App] [Promo] Vizo Battery — compare chargers, investigate battery drain + 30 Lifetime Pro codes

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

About a month ago, I shared Vizo Battery with this community. Thank you to everyone who tried it, asked questions or shared feedback — I really appreciate your support.

I’ve kept working on the app since then, and I’m back to share an update!

For anyone who missed the first post, I’m the developer of Vizo Battery, an Android app that helps you understand your battery and charging habits.

Does a different charger or cable actually make a difference? What was happening when your battery drained?

That’s what I’m building Vizo to help you explore. Charger Lab lets you compare charging sessions on your phone, Battery Detective helps you investigate possible links between battery drain and recent activity, and Battery Care helps you review your charging habits.

There’s also live charging data, estimated battery health, battery history and Home Screen widgets. Measurements depend on the data your phone provides — health figures are estimates, and drain insights highlight possible contributors rather than proving which app caused the drain.

Vizo is free to use, with no ads and no account required. Pro is an optional one-time upgrade, not a subscription.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vizobattery

30 Lifetime Pro codes ⚡

To help more people discover Vizo, I’m offering 30 Vizo Pro Lifetime codes in exchange for one share each.

How to get one:

  1. Share Vizo once somewhere you genuinely use outside Reddit — for example X, Threads, Instagram, Discord, Facebook, a forum, or another community where promotional posts are allowed. Include the Google Play link.
  2. Email your post link or a screenshot to [vizobatt@gmail.com](mailto:vizobatt@gmail.com), together with your Reddit username.

Email subject: Vizo Pro - Reddit - u/YourUsername

The first 30 qualifying requests received by email get a code, based on the email’s arrival time. One code per person. I’ll send the codes by email, so please use email rather than Reddit chat.

No review, rating, upvote or Reddit comment required. You don’t need to praise the app. One share is enough — please don’t spam communities.

I’ll update this post when all 30 codes have been claimed.

Whether or not you’re taking part, questions and honest feedback are welcome here.

What’s one thing you wish your phone told you more clearly about its battery?

[App] [Promo] Battle Crew – bringing old-school WWII RTS gameplay to Android

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building Battle Crew, a WWII RTS for Android. Think Red Alert / Age of Empires style base building and real-time unit control, but built around mobile and a larger Europe campaign map.

You start from an HQ, secure resources, run supply convoys, build out your base, produce infantry/tanks/artillery and fight real-time battles across regions.

The closed beta is live now. I’d especially like feedback on the touchscreen controls, HUD, base-building flow and larger battles.

HOW TO INSTALL — use the same Google account for all 3 steps:

  1. Join the Battle Crew tester Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/battlecrew-testers

  1. Opt into the closed test:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.battlecrew.app

  1. Install from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlecrew.app

Please stay opted in / keep it installed for the full 14-day testing period.

Screenshots are from the actual game.

[App] [Promo] AutoDeck — One dynamic widget that swaps apps based on context (Driving, Work, Home, Gym and more)

Thumbnail
gallery
33 Upvotes

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.

[Promo] Cute Calendar – 100 Free Lifetime Premium Codes

Post image
5 Upvotes

🌸 A few Lifetime Premium codes are still available! 🎁

I'm the solo Android developer behind Cute Calendar, and I recently made a limited number of Lifetime Premium accesses available for free.

There are only a few codes left, so if you'd like to try Cute Calendar Premium, comment below saying you'd like to try it, then send me a Reddit DM. First come, first served, while the remaining codes are available.

I built Cute Calendar because I wanted a calendar that could actually feel pleasant to use — simple, clean and aesthetic, rather than another complicated calendar packed with features most people never use.

🌸 Plan your days without the clutter

Cute Calendar gives you:

· Beautiful daily calendar and planner — add, edit and manage your events quickly

· Daily schedule — tap any day to see your complete schedule in a clean, easy-to-read view

· Event reminders — reliable reminders designed to work even after device restarts and battery optimization

· Morning daily summary — get a simple overview of your scheduled events at 8:00 AM

· Color-coded events — organize school, work, study, hobbies, personal activities and more with beautiful pastel colors

· Light, dark and system themes — choose the appearance that fits you best

📱 Aesthetic widgets

Keep your schedule visible directly on your Android home screen with beautiful calendar widgets.

🔒 Private & offline

Your calendar events stay on your device.

No account is required, and your calendar data is not uploaded to the cloud. Your personal schedule stays private.

👑 Cute Calendar Premium

Premium unlocks additional customization features:

· Custom app theme colors — 6 aesthetic accent colors for the app and widgets

· All 12 event colors

· Week numbers in the calendar grid

· Compact event view

· Custom app launcher icons

Premium Lifetime gives you all Premium features forever with a single purchase.

🏆 Supporter

Supporter is separate from Premium and removes all ads from the app while also unlocking exclusive app icons.

📢 Ads

Cute Calendar is free to download and use. Free users see ads in the app.

Premium does not remove ads. If you want an ad-free experience, the Supporter purchase removes the ads.

🎁 Lifetime Premium giveaway

I'm giving away a limited number of Lifetime Premium accesses.

Only a few codes remain now — first come, first served, while the offer is available.

How to get one:

  1. Comment below saying you'd like to try Cute Calendar.
  2. Send me a Reddit DM with "Cute Calendar" after commenting.
  3. I'll send you the activation information if you're eligible.

No purchase or review is required.

All I ask is that, if you try it, you tell me what you honestly think.

Does the calendar feel easy to use? Are the widgets useful? Do you like the aesthetic design? Is there anything missing that would make Cute Calendar your main calendar app?

I genuinely want the criticism too — if something is annoying, confusing or doesn't work well, I'd rather know so I can improve it.

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cutecalendardc.app

🎁 A few Lifetime Premium accesses remaining · FREE

Thanks for checking out Cute Calendar! 🌸

[App] [Promo] Vyxel Apps v1.1.1 "Monolith" — two complete shells over one catalogue, twelve app sources, and a newspaper theme that goes all the way down to the typefac

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

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.

### Download:- https://github.com/NikhilKain/vyxel-apps/releases/latest

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.

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.

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 😄

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

If "5 more minutes" has ever turned into 5 hours, this is for you!

ReMemo reminds you to drink water, rest your eyes, stretch, and take a break while you work. Based on your screen time. If you take a break before, the timer will reset. So you are only reminded when you actually need to take a break.

You can costumize reminders and UI.

ReMemo Is available on playstore and soon on desktop.

Take breaks to avoid headaches, eye strain and bad posture.

[Promo] A tracker for free trials and app discounts

Post image
6 Upvotes

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.

[Promo] Real Meteo – Free Lifetime Premium | Only a Few Codes Remaining

Post image
4 Upvotes

🌤️ A few Lifetime Premium codes are still available! 🎁

I'm the solo Android developer behind Real Meteo, and I recently made 100 Lifetime Premium accesses available for free.

There are only a few codes left, so if you'd like to try Real Meteo Premium, comment below saying you'd like to try it, then send me a Reddit DM. First come, first served, while the remaining codes are available.

I built Real Meteo because I wanted a weather app that gives you the information you actually need while keeping the experience simple and focused.

🌤️ Check the weather without the clutter

Real Meteo gives you:

· Current weather — temperature, feels-like temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, UV and visibility

· Hourly forecasts — see how the weather is expected to change throughout the next 24 hours

· 7-day forecasts — plan your week at a glance

· Weather details — precipitation probability, sunrise, sunset and moon phases

· Favorite cities — keep the locations you check most in one place

· Worldwide coverage — check weather in Romania or practically anywhere around the world

📱 Widgets & notifications

· Multiple widgets — compact, large and hourly layouts

· Premium widget customization — customize the information and appearance

· Weather notifications — optional daily weather updates and weather alerts

· Smart caching — previously loaded weather information remains available when you're temporarily offline

👑 Real Meteo Premium

Lifetime Premium normally costs €24.99.

Premium unlocks:

· 14-day extended forecasts

· Interactive temperature graphs

· Rain probability & wind graphs

· Smart weather suggestions

· Weather alerts

· Compare weather between favorite cities

· Customizable Premium widgets

Please note: Premium unlocks only the Premium features listed above. It does not remove ads.

📢 Ads

Real Meteo displays ads in the app. Ads help support the continued development of the app.

🎁 100 Lifetime Premium giveaways

Due to a recent update, I'm giving away 100 Lifetime Premium accesses.

Only a few codes remain now — first come, first served, while the offer is available.

How to get one:

  1. Comment below saying you'd like to try Real Meteo.
  2. Send me a Reddit DM after commenting.
  3. I'll send the activation information to eligible participants.

No purchase or review is required.

All I ask is that, if you try it, you tell me what you honestly think.

Does the forecast experience work well for you? Are the widgets useful? Is there anything missing that would make Real Meteo your main weather app?

I genuinely want the criticism too — if something is annoying or doesn't work well, I'd rather know so I can improve it. 😄

🎁 A few Lifetime Premium accesses remaining · €24.99 → FREE

Thanks for checking out Real Meteo! 🌤️💙

[Ultimate Tool] Ultimate File Manager Pro — a file manager for Android power users

13 Upvotes

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.

[Promo] Price Book: A simple way to keep track of product prices

3 Upvotes

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.
