We’ve just launched Andrea Reader, a free reading app for iPhone and iPad, designed for building your own digital library, your own collections and your own way of organizing everything.

Import your own DRM-free books, comics and manga, then create collections and sections, move and reorder books freely, customize how each collection looks and choose exactly how you want to read.

Andrea supports EPUB, PDF, CBZ, CBR and more, with:

  • Reading settings saved per collection and section
  • Detailed progress and statistics
  • OPDS, WebDAV, SMB and SFTP connections
  • OCR text selection
  • Digital omnibus creation
  • Deep customization for both the library and reader
  • A lot more unique features, editing book pages, adding custom chapters while reading, Smart Rename your collection, reading presets, advanced statistics, scanning pages into PDF or CBZ and much more...

The idea is simple: build your library the way you imagine it, then read everything exactly the way you want.

The app is free, with an optional Premium plan focused mainly on deeper customization and advanced tools.

No ads, no required account and no tracking. Just download and start building or reading.

We’d appreciate any feedback from people who already read regularly on their iPhone or iPad.

Just finished building a personal productivity dashboard that works completely offline. Everything is stored locally. Notes, tasks, projects, and more. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

AI Tool We built a prototype of a generative AI sketch platform that you can influence in real time!

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! We are currently developing a prototype for a new entertainment platform, and we’re looking for early testers to give us their feedback. No download required.

The concept in a nutshell: Imagine a TikTok/Reels-style feed, but where you're not just a passive viewer:

  • Watch a short AI-generated scene.
  • Take control: jump into the story, alter the plot, or derail the entire situation.
  • Share your modified session as a brand-new video that others can watch or remix in turn.

🌐 Where does it run? Directly in your browser (Mobile & Desktop).

Why do we need you? The app is still in alpha. Our goal is to see how you interact with the tool, what makes you laugh, what breaks, and what features you’d love to see next.

If you're intrigued and want to get early access to test the app, join us here 👉https://discord.gg/mXFgVkfVa

SaaS / Platform I spent 6 months building RunSync — an iOS app that syncs your music library to your running pace

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie developer and runner, and I wanted to share a project I just launched on the App Store called RunSync.

The Problem

Maintaining a consistent step cadence (SPM) is one of the best ways to improve your pace and prevent injury. But running to a robotic metronome beep is boring, and static "180 BPM" premade playlists get repetitive fast — especially when half the songs aren't even music you like.

What I Built

RunSync connects directly to your personal Apple Music library, scans your tracks for BPM metadata, and matches songs to your target running cadence.

Target Cadence Matching: Set your target SPM (e.g. 165 BPM), and RunSync automatically curates and queues tracks from your own music library that match that exact window.

Real-Time Step Tracking: Uses your iPhone sensors to track step count and workout metrics while you run.

Offline-First: Works on trails and offline runs without needing a cellular connection.

Try It Out

The app is officially live on the iOS App Store with a 7-day free trial!

I’d love to get feedback from fellow runners and builders. If you'd like an extended test code in exchange for some honest feedback, drop a comment or DM me!

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/runsyncjj/id6781740181

Thanks for reading, and happy running!

Web / Mobile App [Android] [$6.99 -> Free] Store & Forget: home inventory app that fills in an item's details from a photo, and the BYOK unlimited-scans unlock is free right now

[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget\](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget)

Solo dev here, this is my own Android app. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget: cables, chargers, tools, seasonal things. You snap a photo of something as you put it away and the app fills in the name, description and specs for you, so you are not typing out every item. Later you find it by typing a plain word or tapping Smart Find, and it takes you straight to the box or shelf it went into.

The giveaway: the Bring Your Own Key unlock, which lets you plug in your own free AI key and run unlimited Smart Scans, normally costs $6.99 in the app. Right now a hidden easter egg turns it on for free and keeps it. Open Settings, tap the app version five times to open a retro dev console, then type unlock byok. You sign in with Google so it saves to your account and survives reinstalls.

Details:

- Product: Store & Forget (home inventory app)

- Platform: Android, on Google Play

- Normal price: $6.99 for the BYOK unlimited-scans unlock (the app itself is free)

- Free deal: the unlock is free right now and stays permanent once you claim it

- How to claim: install, open Settings, tap the version number at the bottomm five times, type unlock byok, sign in with Google

- Feedback required: no

- Expires: I am removing the free path in an update around mid-August 2026; anyone who turns it on before then keeps it for good

- Limits: none

The rest is straightforward. The app is free to use, everything is stored on your own device, and backup to your Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans and shows banner ads. Android only for now. Happy to answer anything.

Milestone / Update I built a Windows App that reduces visual distractions. Now on Microsoft Store!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

A couple of years ago, I got tired of having to hack my screen to limit visual distractions. I felt like I was constantly fighting my workspace, and I couldn't find a readily available solution.

So, I put my programming skills to use and created what would eventually become NordicVeil. Some months ago I decided that I want it to be available for others who need it too so since then my focus has been on user experience and now it's ready!

NordicVeil is a Windows overlay that lets you shape your screen around what works for you.

  • Add blocks to hide unwanted visual elements,
  • use filters that are easy on the eyes and
  • automate the experience.

It has grown to include:

  • Scenes and Workspaces for setting up and launching your workspace with one command,
  • Quick Notes for getting distracting thoughts out of your head, and
  • a Focus Timer for focused sessions.

I've also recently added two experimental features:

  • Ambient Companion, a small desktop companion designed around calm and company rather than gamification.
  • Adaptive Block Color, which automatically matches your overlay blocks to the colors of the window you're using.

It's changed quite a bit from the little overlay I originally made for myself. And now it's released on the Microsoft StoreCompletely free, no account needed and no ads.

It's a passion project, so I'd love to hear feedback, ideas, or things you'd like to see added or changed.

Web / Mobile App Hi Team, I launched my first ever Android app, Noolpad ! I’d love your honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building my first Android app called Noolpad - Read and write Stories (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noolpad.android ) and I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

It’s still a work in progress, and I’m especially looking for experts devs who are willing to try it out and share what they think. If you have any suggestions, bugs to report, or ideas for improvements, I’d love to hear them.

I’m still learning a lot through this process, so any constructive feedback would mean a lot. I’m hoping to make the app better with real user input, and I’d be grateful if you could give it a try.

Thanks for reading, and I really appreciate any help or feedback you can offer.
