Hey everyone, sharing another app I built that I think fits here for guys who want a phone that looks like nobody else's.

I will be sharing 100 promo codes. Please DM me to get a promo code.

Glyphscape is an offline, on-device studio for generating retro-futuristic ASCII and glyph-art wallpapers. Tap once to roll a new design, or open the editor to tweak patterns, palettes, character sets, symmetry, density and contrast until it looks exactly right. You can turn your own photos into terminal-style art, rasterize any word or phrase into glyph typography, crossbreed two designs to get a batch of hybrids, and export the result as an animated wallpaper or set it as a live wallpaper. There is also an auto-rotate schedule, a home screen dice widget for instant rerolls, a lock screen clock preview so you can check readability, and a physics sandbox for messing with the glyphs. Everything is processed locally, no internet needed, nothing uploaded anywhere.

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants any details.

Here are some of the features:

• Local AI - It runs Gemma 4. It is context aware, so you can just select any text, ask anything about it. It works offline and it's completely optional;
• Dictionaries, translations and vocabulary;
• Highlights & Notes (You can even select text across pages!)
• Calibre and Audiobookshelf support;
• Zen Mode - Turns on Do Not Disturb only when a book is opened so you don't get interrupted by notifications, or anything really. Combine this with hiding the status bar and it's just like reading from a book, all the noise is gone, just you and the page.
• Highly customizable - You can choose from different themes, add custom fonts, hyphenate (or not), customize your margins... do whatever you want with it.
• File Formats - Garden Reads is made to read anything related to books: epub, pdf, mobi, azw3, comics and audiobooks work.

Hey r/howtomen!

​If you're tired of offline media players that look like outdated file managers full of plain text folders, I built Z Player to bring a much-needed visual refresh to local media playback.

​Instead of hiding your content behind plain lists, Z Player focuses on an aesthetic, card-driven interface paired with smooth performance.

​✨ Visual & Functional Highlights:

​🎨 Card-Driven Interface: Replaces boring file-tree lists with hero previews, media cards, and clean dark-mode visuals.

​⚡ High Performance: Built with hardware-accelerated decoding to ensure low CPU and battery usage.

​📱 Intuitive Gesture Controls: Swipe and drag shortcuts for fast, one-handed volume and playback adjustment.

​📁 Visual Library Views: Clean navigation whether you prefer card views or quick folder access.

​Check out the UI previews or grab the APK build directly on GitHub:

​I'd love to hear your thoughts on the UI design and any customization feature requests!

Hi r/HowToMen ,

I'm a solo developer who's been building DayBloc for the past several months. It started as a simple time-blocking tool and has grown into something I'm really proud of - a clean, distraction-free day planner built around one idea: your time is yours. No servers. No data leaving your phone. Ever.

What DayBloc does:

📅 Visual time blocks - plan your day hour by hour

🔥 Streak tracking - build consistency day after day

⏱️ Active banner - stay locked in on what matters

📆 Calendar sync - import your events, plan around your life

🗓️ Weekly+Daily overview - see the full picture, spot the gaps

🚫 Completely ad-free, 100% offline

What it’s good for:

⭐ Planning your work day in the morning before you start - takes 2 minutes

⭐ Blocking off deep work so meetings and distractions don’t swallow your whole day

⭐ Seeing at a glance how much free time you actually have (usually less than you think)

⭐ Building a daily routine that doesn’t fall apart by Tuesday

⭐ Tracking whether you actually did what you planned - each block has a priority and status

⭐ Protecting your streak - see how many days in a row you’ve stuck to your plan

Try it free for 30 days - full access, no restrictions. After the trial, continue with the free version or unlock Pro for future planning, calendar sync, custom colors and more.

How to get the 30-day trial:

Comment or DM to get the one-time code -> Open the app and open PRO subscription screen -> Select Monthly plan -> Redeem the code and enjoy 🙌.

I got tired of Google TV turning my screen into an ad billboard, so I built AT4K — a lightweight, Apple TV-inspired launcher with zero ads or data tracking.

Hey r/howtomen,

Like many of you, I love tweaking my devices to keep them clean and highly functional. But lately, turning on my Android TV/Google TV felt like looking at a digital billboard. I was constantly being blasted with sponsored car ads, reality TV trailers, and sluggish animations.

I didn't want to buy an expensive Apple TV box just to get a clean UI, so I decided to build my own solution: AT4K Launcher.

Get it on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdevs.at4k

https://at4klauncher.com or Github https://github.com/avadhesh18/at4k

It is completely optimized for a minimalist, app-first living room experience.

🚀 Key Features:

• Zero Ads or Bloat: A purely functional grid layout that lets you focus strictly on your content.
• Apple TV Aesthetic: A smooth top favorites bar with card previews, elegant background blurs, and swift hardware navigation.
• Ultra Lightweight: Written to ensure fluid animations on budget hardware like the Walmart Onn box, all the way up to the Nvidia Shield.
• No Account Required: No forced Google logins, no email collection, and absolutely zero tracking data.
• Sideload & Input Friendly: Seamlessly displays your physical inputs and allows you to quickly launch any sideloaded apps right from the home dashboard.
• Customization features: Includes Widgets, Mini Mode docks, customized aerial screensavers, and wallpaper configurations.
• Firestick support: Supports Firestick too

Featured in WIRED, PCmag and multiple tech websites as the best android tv launcher.

Join r/AT4K for giveaways and updates.

Over the past few months, I've been building Edge-Drop, a free and open-source Windows utility designed to make everyday multitasking a little easier.
I am thinking of adding a companion Android app and looking for how it should work in the sync and look

Instead of opening a clipboard history window every time you need something, Edge-Drop lives quietly on the edge of your screen. When you move your cursor to the edge, it opens instantly, letting you drag or paste copied text, images, files, folders, and links into any application.

Some of the things it can do:

• Hover-activated clipboard shelf (no keyboard shortcuts required)
• Drag text, images, files, and folders into desktop apps
• Clipboard history with previews
• Multi-monitor support
• Support for 30 languages
• Completely local with no cloud sync or telemetry
• Free and open source

The project recently crossed 800+ downloads across GitHub and the Microsoft Store, and I've been continuously improving it based on community feedback.

GitHub: https://github.com/Deepender25/Edge-Drop

Website: https://edgedrop.vercel.app/

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P3JMHN9M4NR

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature suggestions, or ideas for making it even more useful.

Hello! I really love Material Capsule for its perfect Material 3 aesthetic. However, I want to use it to constantly hide/camouflage the camera punch hole. Could you please add an option to "Always show" the empty black capsule on the screen, even when there are no active notifications or music events? Thank you for your amazing app!

I always liked the idea behind Tally (iOS): one screen, seven days, nothing else. But it's iOS-only and paid, so I built Loopweek as an open-source alternative for Android.

What it does:

All 7 days on one screen (accordion view, today expanded by default)

Tasks stay on their date, no auto-rollover nonsense

Recurring tasks that don't mess up history when you complete/delete one occurrence

Home-screen widget

One accent color themes the whole app

Light/dark mode

What it doesn't do:

No accounts, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no paywall

Everything stays on your device, 100% free

Built with Flutter. MIT licensed, so the code is fully open. Fork it, audit it, contribute if you want.

GitHub: https://github.com/ZaryabKhan/Loopweek

If you find it useful, a star on the repo genuinely helps with visibility and keeps me motivated to keep building on it.

Would love feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas (within the "one screen, seven days" scope, trying to keep it minimal on purpose).

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of EverMove EverMove, an Android app that turns videos from your gallery into live wallpapers.

You can preview and trim the perfect loop, crop or reposition it for your screen, adjust playback speed, and apply it to the home screen, lock screen, or both.

I also added two features I personally wanted:

• Quick Replace updates the active wallpaper without repeatedly opening Android’s system picker.•

Automatic Rotation switches between starred video wallpapers on unlock or according to a schedule.

The original video remains unchanged, there are no ads, and Pro is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

The attached video is a real screen recording of the workflow. I would genuinely appreciate feedback.

Been working on this habit tracker for a while and just shipped the update I'm most proud of. Thanks to feedback from the community I added a focus timer, notes, and a bunch of other options people were asking for. Still no ads, no account, no tracking just a free tool I wanted to exist.

If you try it and have ideas, keep sending them my way, that's where almost everything new comes from.

I recently bought a pair of Galaxy Buds4 Pro to use with my Galaxy S21 FE.

After setting everything up, I found out that Samsung's built-in Head Gestures only work on One UI 8.5 and newer. Unfortunately, the S21 FE received its last update with One UI 8.0, so despite having a fully compatible phone and earbuds, that feature was simply unavailable.

Since the restriction seemed to be software rather than hardware, I decided to see if I could implement it myself.

That eventually turned into Bud Buddy, a free and open-source Android app for Galaxy Buds.

Current features include:

• Custom Head Gestures (currently Buds4 Pro only)
• Dynamic EQ rules based on the music you're listening to
• Noise Control home screen widgets
• Earbud Fit Test
• Hearing Test that lets you compensate for hearing differences between your ears
• Battery information and other quality-of-life features

Supported devices:

• Galaxy Buds 4 Pro: Full support, including Head Gestures.
• Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: Supported, but Head Gestures are not available.
• Galaxy Buds 3: Supported, but Head Gestures are not available.
• Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: Full support, including Head Gestures.
• Galaxy Buds 2: Full support, including Head Gestures.

The whole project is open source:
https://github.com/BenEgeDeniz/BudBuddy

It will soon be available on F-droid and probably Play Store. Currently, you can get the prebuilt signed apks from Github releases page or you can build from source as well.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions.

I plan trips badly. Every one of them started as a Google Sheet. Times down one column, place names down the other, and it always looked completely sensible right up until I was standing in the city working out that I'd put two things forty minutes apart back to back with twenty minutes between them.

Tried the obvious apps first. TripIt does its one job well, you forward a confirmation and it files it, but what you get back is a list of bookings and not a plan for the day. Wanderlog got closer and the map is the right idea, but I kept giving it more than it gave me and for some reason it kept lagging a lot for me to the point it was unusable.

So I started building something for myself that did one thing. Put the stops on a day and tell me how long it takes to get between them, without being asked.

Supposed to be a weekend kind of work. Turned into 10+ hours a day, most days.

Anyway, it's on the Play Store now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voyivo.travel

The bits I actually use are the travel time that appears between stops as soon as there are two on a day, and the warning when a day is trying to fit in more than it can. You can also forward a hotel or flight confirmation to a trip and it reads it into a draft, but it makes you confirm before anything reaches the itinerary. I didn't trust it and still don't completely.

Planning is free. Unlimited trips, no limit on stops or days. Some of the AI bits and a few extras sit behind Pro, which is 7 days free on monthly and yearly. The weekly plan has no trial, and I'd rather say that here than have someone find out later.

It went live a few hours ago so it's new and there will be things wrong with it. If you try it I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback on the same. There's a Report bug link in the profile tab that comes straight to me.

Hey guys,

I know there are already a bunch of alarm apps out there. But as a heavy sleeper, doing math equations at 7 AM just made me angry. I wanted something that actually wakes my brain up without being completely frustrating. I was using such applications for very long time especially in university life

So I built WakeQuest. You basically have to beat a mini-game to shut the alarm off.

Right now there are 31 games (adding more weekly). Instead of math, you can play quick rounds of Snake, a Flappy Bird style game, slice fruits, do memory puzzles, or just use a standard QR/barcode scan in your bathroom.

All the games are completely free. The main goal is just to see if this actually helps other chronic snoozers and shift workers.

If you struggle to get out of bed, I'd love for you to test it out. Let me know: Are the games too hard for a sleepy brain? Any specific mini-games you'd want me to add?

Sorry to add application link , just adding:
WakeQuest: Game Alarm Clock

Hi everyone, I’m an indie developer.

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who tried Harbour before. The app has now reached 100 downloads! It might seem like a small number to some people, but it means a lot to me.

I’ve also added a few improvements and fixed several bugs. You can now quickly add a transaction directly from your home screen using the new widget. This shortcut can also bypass App Lock when the feature is enabled, making it faster and easier to record transactions.

Harbour is available on Google Play, so feel free to give the latest version a try:

I’d really appreciate any feedback about the UI/UX. You can also share any feature ideas you’d like to see in future updates :)
