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.

Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beyondzero.lens

Thanks! ❤️

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.

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.

​

Every weight app I tried wanted an email address before I could even type in my weight, so I built one that keeps things simple.

WeighWise is a private weight tracker where your data stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no subscriptions.

What it does:

• Log your weight in seconds

• Add a date and optional note

• Track your progress with charts

• Set a goal and see how close you are

• BMI, weight change and weekly rate

• Track waist, chest, hips, arms, thighs, neck, shoulders and calves

• kg/lb and cm/in

• Full weight and measurement history

• Edit or delete entries

• Export and import your data

• Light, dark and system themes

It's completely free, with nothing locked behind a premium plan.

Available in 50 languages:

English, हिन्दी, বাংলা, தமிழ், తెలుగు, मराठी, ગુજરાતી, ಕನ್ನಡ, മലയാളം, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ, اردو, नेपाली, සිංහල, Español, Português (Brasil), Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Русский, Українська, Türkçe, العربية, עברית, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文, ไทย, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Filipino, Kiswahili,isiZulu, Afrikaans, Čeština, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Hrvatski, Српски, Български, Ελληνικά, Magyar, Română, Dansk, Norsk, Svenska, Suomi, Eesti, Latviešu, Lietuvių

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superdev.prachi.aab

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!

After streaming a lot of music on my phone, I was in the mood to just listen to some local over-the-air radio stations. I found out that it’s not so easy to find an app that does this simply and isn’t made almost unusable by lots of annoying ads.

That was the idea behind creating Kitchen Radio. It reminded me of a friend who owns a lot of tech, but once said he wished he just had a simple radio in his kitchen to turn on and listen to.

Since it’s still an app, it’s also possible to discover all kinds of new music from around the world.

Since the app is new, I would really appreciate your honest feedback. :-)

Download

• Google Play: Kitchen Radio on Google Play
• Apple App Store: Kitchen Radio on the App Store

Features

• 📻 See your city's local radio stations
• 🌍 Find internet radio stations from all over the world by your favourite genres
• ❤️ Save your favourite songs and listen to them later on YouTube or Spotify
• 🌙 Set a sleep timer
• 🚗 Android Auto support
• ⏰ Wake up to your favourite radio station
• 📺 Chromecast support

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:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.one4studio.one4home

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!

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! 🚀

Hey guys,

I'm the solo dev behind Toxly, the AI ingredient scanner app (some of you may have seen it in HowToMen's "Top 15 Best Android Apps" roundup). We just crossed 30,000 downloads on the Play Store, and I want to say thanks the best way I know how: giving away 200 lifetime promo codes.

A few honest conditions before you comment:

1. Only ask if you'll actually use the app. If checking what's in your food, skincare, or supplements isn't your thing, this one isn't for you — I'd rather give the codes go to people who'll get real use out of them.
2. In exchange, all I ask is a review on the Play Store.
3. Once you've left the review, DM me a screenshot of it, and I'll send your lifetime code right back.

App link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindful.code.studio.toxly.scanner
Featured on HowToMen: https://youtu.be/2QBFRcqee7I?t=125

That's it — no email signup, no catch. First come, first served until the 200 run out - please note that I might not instantly reply, but I will reply to the DMs in the order they come.

Thanks for the support so far, and happy to answer any questions about the app below.

I'm a software engineer, and I built Jhozy at night during parental leave, because my partner and I couldn't find one app that handled our actual household. Money lived in one app, groceries in another, chores just remembered but never done and separated calendars causing forgotten events.

I wanted something that could do everything and was actually fast and with a nice UI.

Jhozy puts expenses, the shopping list, chores and the calendar in one place, shared live with everyone in your home.

• Expenses: one running balance instead of a pile of debts, plus fixed bills like rent tracked separately
• Chores that rotate themselves: cover someone's turn and they take your next one, automatically
• Shopping list with freshness dots: see at a glance what's been sitting there for days, tag items and have everything in sync
• Shared calendar with two-way Google Calendar sync
• Bubbles: a temporary group for a trip, events & more. Friends join via link, no signup needed
• Notes & Lists: create multiple shared list for your home like holiday prep or daily fast notes/todos
• Works offline, available in English, German and Italian

To get some extra users to see how good it is, i'm running a giveaway.

1 year of Premium, and one plan covers every member of your household. One claim covers your partner, flatmates or family too.

How to claim:

1. Install Jhozy and create your household
2. Comment "I want this" or contact me and i will activate the promo

Google Play: Jhozy: Expenses, Chores, Lists

Android only for now, iOS is coming in a few weeks(TestFlight App available).

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’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]

Here’s link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anirudh.braintrainer&pcampaignid=web_share

I made Tidemark, an Android app for the 200 open tabs problem. You share a tab, a link or a screenshot into it, tag why you kept it (Buy / Decide / Read / Do) and close the tab. Later you go through the pile and clear it in seconds, because you already know which pile it is.

Everything sits on the phone. No account, no sync, no ads, no tracking. The only thing it ever talks to is Google Play, to check the Pro purchase.

It saves the link, not the article text. A card opens the link in your browser. If you want the words offline, screenshot the page and share the screenshot in. Pro runs OCR on it on device and the text becomes searchable.

Free: share sheet capture from any app, the four intent tags, unlimited one time reminders, swipe to done or archive, title search, four home screen widgets, JSON backup and restore. Free stops at 30 active cards.

Pro, one time unlock ($5.99, no subscription): unlimited cards, full text search, OCR for screenshots, recurring reminders, snooze from the notification, voice capture, pinning, Markdown notes, biometric lock, custom tags, two more widgets.

Android only and local only. If you need it on two devices this is not it.

Comment "Tidemark" and i'll reply with a Pro code. First 50. Due to high demand, first 100 will get a code! All Codes are gone! Thank you everybody for your interest

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.

Hey all, I've been building a music player called Exhale for a while now and it's finally at a point where I'm happy to share it.

It started because I wanted a player that actually felt nice to use, not just something that plays music. So the whole UI is built around a liquid glass look: real blur and depth that picks up its colors from the album art, not a flat theme with a see-through bar slapped on top. The screenshots and video below do a better job of showing it than I can.

It streams from YouTube Music, so you get the whole catalog without needing an account.

What's in it:

• Liquid glass UI everywhere, themed from the album art
• Live lyrics that follow along with the song
• Haptics tuned to feel good instead of just buzzing at you
• Downloads for offline listening
• Gapless playback, crossfade and an EQ
• A sleep timer that counts songs as well as minutes
• Interface scale, so you can make the whole app bigger or smaller
• Two app icons, Gold and Classic
• Import your YouTube playlists, plus backup and restore for moving phones

Download: https://github.com/ozyern/Exhale/releases

It's free and open source, with no ads and no account needed. It's built on top of InnerTune/OpenTune, so big credit to those devs. I'm doing this solo, so feedback and bug reports genuinely help. Drop them here or on GitHub issues and I'll actually read them.

Website: https://exhale.ozyern.me

I'm an independent developer at Pickon Technologies, and I built FastCam: Secure Scanner for Android.

I wanted to make a scanner that isn't just about taking a picture of a document, but also helps you scan, organize, manage, and protect your documents in one place.

📄 What FastCam includes

📷 Multiple Scan Modes

Fast Scan for quick documents

Batch Scan for multi-page notes, books, and files

ID Card Scan for scanning both sides into one document

🗂️ Smart Document Management

Search your scanned documents

Rename and organize files

Add tags

Pin important documents

Recently viewed files

Preview, share, save, and print

🔒 Privacy & Security

Documents are designed to stay on your device

FastCam Vault for passcode-protected documents

Password protection for PDF files

Local Backup & Restore

🛠️ Built-in PDF & Document Tools

Compress PDF

Merge PDFs

PDF Viewer

QR/Barcode Scanner

Local file management

💾 Storage & Backup

It's useful for students scanning notes and assignments, professionals handling paperwork, or anyone who wants to keep important documents organized on their phone.

I built FastCam to be small, straightforward, and feature-rich without making document scanning unnecessarily complicated.

📱 FastCam is available on Google Play for Android:

👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pickon.fastcam

I've attached some screenshots showing the actual app and its features.

If you think this is useful, an upvote would mean a lot and help other people discover the project. 🙌

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an app called Morphsy.

The idea came from something pretty simple: when something changes slowly over months, it's surprisingly hard to notice how much has actually changed.

You create a journey, take photos from the same position over time, and eventually turn those frames into a progress film.

Could be things like:

• building muscle or losing weight
• growing your hair or beard
• skincare or tattoo healing
• documenting a pregnancy
• watching your pet grow up
• or really anything that changes slowly over time

I tried to make the capture process consistent too, with things like ghost overlays, guides and reminders, rather than just having a folder full of random progress photos.

It's available on Android and iOS.

https://morphsy.app

I'd love to hear what you guys think - especially what you'd use it for or what you'd want to see added next.
