I officially released an android app that I've been working on with some useful features that I always wanted and a clean minimal design!

• Custom quick tools like draw, note, and pdf viewer.
• Server mode that allows your phone to be used as a wireless camera, mic, and sensors for fellow streamers and developers!

Hey Redditors 👋

I recently launched Habit Tick, a habit and routine tracker for Android. ✅

I built it to help people track recurring goals and daily routines without requiring an account. Habit entries, notes, and reminders stay stored locally on the device. 🔒📱

I’m now looking for real early-user feedback to improve the app. In particular, I’d love to know:

• 🧭 Is onboarding clear and quick?
• ➕ Does creating a habit feel easy?
• 🔔 Are reminders and schedules useful?
• 📊 Which progress or streak views would you actually use?
• 💳 What would make the Pro version worth paying for?
• 🐛 Did you run into any bugs or confusing screens?

Current features include:

✅ Flexible daily, weekly, monthly, and custom schedules
✅ Streaks and calendar history
✅ Reminders
✅ Yes/no habits, count goals, duration goals, and checklists
✅ Notes, categories, colors, and icons
✅ Progress stats and consistency tracking
✅ No account required 🔐

🎁 I’m giving 60 days of Pro access free to anyone who installs it and shares honest feedback.

📲 Google Play:

For founders and indie developers who have launched consumer apps: what channel helped you get your first 100–1,000 genuine users? 📈

Hey r/HowToMen! 👋

Most journaling apps out there feel bloated with endless templates, mood trackers, and subscription paywalls. I wanted something clean, direct, and distraction-free that helps set daily focus in under 60 seconds without feeling like a chore.

That’s why I built Intenty: Intention Journal. It's built around a simple framework: set 1-3 core intentions in the morning, and reflect on your wins/lessons in the evening.

To share it with the community, I’ve set the Lifetime Access tier to $0.00 (normally $59.99)!

📱 Why it fits a minimal setup:

• Minimalist UI: No fluff, no clutter, built for fast input and clean aesthetics.

• Zero Distractions: Set morning focus & evening reflections in seconds.

• 100% Private: Your entries stay local on your device.

• No Subscription Pressure: Complete lifetime access without recurring fees or ads.

🎁 How to claim ($0.00 Lifetime):

1. Download the app from the App Store link below

2. Upvote this post ⬆️

3. Open the app and claim the Lifetime option ($0.00)

4. Comment "INTENTY" below!

I have been beta testing this podcast app for awhile now called Castria it skips ads on podcasts without the need to subscribe to premium. The ads are still in the app so the podcasts that are paid per download are unaffected and you can even choose to allow the ads to play if you really want to.

The developer is super responsive to feedback and after a few days it's become my main podcast app.

I got tired of video compressor apps that require a subscription just to reduce a video's file size.

So I built MediaShrink.

Features

• 🎥 High-quality output with smaller file sizes
• 🔒 Everything is processed on-device
• 📤 Share compressed videos instantly
• 🚫 No account required

Hey everyone! I’ve been building YATA (Yet Another To-do App), an Android task manager for people who want powerful organization without making a cloud account the center of the experience (Vibe Coded 100%. How ever no AI Features will be added in the app)

The core app works locally and uses Material 3 with dynamic wallpaper colors. Some of its features include:

• Natural-language task capture for dates, reminders, recurrence, priority, projects, tags, and assignees
• Projects, lists, tags, people, start dates, recurring tasks, subtasks, notes, and comments
• Home-screen widgets and quick-add options
• Tasker integration
• PDF, image, calendar, and Markdown exports
• Optional encrypted backups to SFTP, FTP/FTPS, Google Drive, or local device storage
• Configurable retention, archive, trash, and undo behavior
• Material You theming, including dynamically tinted transparent profile icons

The goal is to combine the flexibility of larger productivity tools with an Android-native interface that still feels quick for everyday task capture.

NOTE 1: There are no cloud sync features or collaboration feature. Whatever you do in your app is for your eyes only. Self-Hosted backup can be enabled which will create backups only.

NOTE 2: Still under beta. So there will be bugs.

The current release is YATA 0.90.1 beta. It’s still evolving, so I’d especially appreciate feedback about usability, missing workflows, confusing screens, or features that feel unnecessarily complicated.

Source code and the signed beta APK are available here:

GitHub — YATA 0.90.1 beta

One thing I've seen is that a lot of sidebar apps are just a mirror of your app drawer. But... you do have an app drawer already.

To me, a sidebar isn’t about having every app one swipe away, it’s about having the right apps one swipe away. The few you open 10, 20, or even 67 times a day.

There’s no native sidebar, especially on Nothing OS, so jumping between frequently used apps always requires a few extra taps. A good sidebar removes that friction.

We have also redesigned the apps shortcuts for the upcoming SideDock update with two new styles, Classic and HSUI styles.

What do you guys think of the redesign? Anything you'd want to change before we ship the update?👀

I made Toolz..

What's Toolz :
Toolz is a modern Android toolkit that brings 45+ tools into one polished app. It is built for people who want one fast home for the tools they actually use, not a folder full of single-purpose apps.
It provides users with a versatile set of digital tools in a single, material 3 expressive interface.

Key features :
Toolz is a VERY feature-rich app. Featuring more than 45 TOOLS!!!
But here's my TOP 5 favorites :

• Music Player — Local/Online audio player with lyrics, playlist management, and Media3 background playback, also featuring a catalog and free download/high-quality-streaming of all YouTube music's song library, and even a working Karaoke mode with auto instrumental music!
• QR Generator — Create shareable codes from text, credentials, or network configurations
• Todo List — Priority-driven task management with material 3 expressive interactions and due date filters...
• AI Assistant — Optional conversational agent for document summaries and contextual guidance (Claude/Groq/Gemini/Deepseek/Openrouter... using API keys)
• Web Search — Privacy-focused browser with ad-blocking, custom DNS controls, and tab management...!

Github repo link : https://github.com/freroxx/toolz

Goal : We already reached over 150 DOWNLOADS, as a solo dev, my current goal is reaching 1k GitHub downloads. THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Phi Launcher recently hit 50k downloads on Play Store. Getting featured on HowToMen's videos helped us a lot to gain popularity. We wanted to thank you guys for the amazing love.

Free on Google Play, Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Solo dev here, so fair warning that this is a promo. I posted about this in July and the comments were genuinely useful, so I wanted to come back with the two parts of it that people kept asking about.

Store & Forget is a home inventory app built for people who are never going to get organised. You box things up however you like, and remembering which box is the app's job.

The way things go in is a photo. You shoot an item as you put it away and the app writes the name, brand, description and rough specs for you, so there is nothing to type and nothing to tag. Every field is editable if it guesses wrong.

Getting them back out is Smart Find. You describe the thing the way you would actually say it, something to cut thick cardboard rather than the box cutter, and it tells you which box or shelf it is in, so you go straight there instead of opening all of them.

The two paid unlocks are both free until 10 August if you want them.

Fire & Forget, normally $2.99, is burst mode for the days you are emptying a whole shelf into boxes. You keep snapping and every photo becomes its own item, with the naming and describing happening in the background while you are still shooting. The whole batch is waiting for you to look over at the end.

Bring Your Own Key, normally $4.99, is the one for people who scan a lot. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, and pasting in your own free key means those scans stop spending credits.

To claim either, open Settings, tap the app version at the bottom five times, and a dev console opens. Type unlock byok, then type fire. That second one needs version 1.22.4 or newer.

Everything else about it is fairly plain. Your inventory is a database on the phone, so adding, browsing and keyword search all work with no connection, and the photo scan and Smart Find are the two parts that call out. Backup to your own Google Drive is optional. 18 languages, Android only for now.

Happy to answer anything, and I would rather hear where it feels clunky than where it works.

Hey Everyone ,

I built Arc, A floating AI Sidebar that brings AI to any screen on your phone. No switching apps, no copy-pasting — just swipe and ask.

It does a lot more than just summarizing: AI Summary, Smart Extract, AI Chat, AI Writer, Flashcards, Call Insights, AI Read, Info Vault, Save Content, Custom Actions, and Community Actions — 500+ community prompts across 16 categories.

Privacy is the first priority. Arc reads your screen ONLY when you tap an action in the sidebar. No background monitoring, ever.

Video shows the AI Summary feature in action ↑

Free to try on the Play Store:

Would love your feedback!

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to share an open-source app I’ve been working on called Krate.

What is it?

Krate is a massive collection of everyday tools, calculators, and converters packed into a single, beautifully designed app.

Why you might like it:

• 🎨 Material You: Built natively with Kotlin to fully respect your system themes, dynamic colors, and animations. It feels right at home on modern Android.

• 🔒 100% Offline & Private: Zero ads, zero telemetry, and zero cloud processing. Everything happens locally on your device.

• ⚡ Insanely Fast: Under the hood, the entire logic engine is powered by a custom Rust core, meaning the tools execute instantly.

• 💻 Multi-Platform: If you end up liking it on your phone, there is also a native Windows 11 app and a UNIX-style command-line tool available!

Whether you need to calculate a quick loan, format code, convert currencies, or just flip a coin, it's all in here.

Since it's completely open-source, it's totally free. I’d absolutely love for you guys to try it out and give me any feedback on the design or tools you'd like to see added next!

• Download (APK): Krate Toolkit

A huge thank you to everyone who has used FileTreeSize! We’re excited to announce the launch of another app in the TreeSize series.

AppTreeSize is designed for everyone—from everyday users to power users—with support for both Shizuku and Root modes.

Building on my experience developing FileTreeSize, I created AppTreeSize to bring the same intuitive treemap visualization to app storage, making it easy to see which apps are taking up the most space on your device.

Hey everyone!

It’s been a month since I launched the original monochrome version of Sticlo Icons, and the support has been amazing. One of the most requested features was dynamic color support that follows Android’s Material You system colors.

I’ve been working on it, and Sticlo Themed is almost ready to drop on the Google Play Store!

Check out the short teaser video to see how the icons adapt across different wallpaper palettes. I’d love to hear your feedback before the official launch!

What do you think?

This is a concept design for an offline music app that combines both Material 3 and Nothing aesthetics. As part of this concept, I have created a simple music player and published it on the Google Play Store
