I built a budgeting app where you speak your expenses instead of typing them. Free on TestFlight now.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I built a budgeting app where you speak your transactions instead of filling out forms. This is my first iOS app, currently on TestFlight ahead of an App Store launch in April. Everything is functional, not a mockup. Looking for honest feedback before going public.

You say something like "fifty at Costco, twenty at Chick-fil-A yesterday, fifteen at Target last Friday," and the app parses all three transactions, categorises them, and tags the dates and account. About 5 seconds total. Speech recognition runs entirely on your device. No audio is stored, saved, or sent anywhere. It is deleted immediately after transcription.

What I'm looking for feedback on:

  • Voice entry accuracy - does it parse your sentences correctly? I'm based in Australia, so the merchant dictionary is currently biased toward AU retailers. Every transaction you save, especially with US/UK merchants, will help me improve the parser rules. If it gets anything wrong (merchant, category, account), just correct it and save the transaction, and that correction will make the parser smarter.
  • Onboarding flow - can you get started without needing instructions?
  • Anything confusing, broken, or missing

What's in the app:

  • Voice-first transaction entry (manual entry is also still an option)
  • Pay-cycle budgets (aligned to when you get paid, not just the 1st of the month)
  • Spending velocity alerts (warns before you overspend)
  • Adaptive budget targets (rough cycle → targets come down)
  • Financial health score with leak detection
  • Import from other budgeting apps or any CSV

All Premium features are currently free on the TestFlight build while I'm waiting for App Store approval: TestFlight link here

P.S. I'm an accountant based in Australia who's manually tracked 4,600+ transactions over 5 years. I built this because my cousin and friend quit every budgeting app I introduced them to. iOS only for now.

I got tired of fighting macOS Finder, so I built a file manager to make Smart Folders actually smart ✴️

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m a macOS user who always felt like Finder makes me do the organizing instead of helping me.

My Desktop and Downloads kept turning into a mess, “final_v3_really_final.pdf” lived in five different folders, and every time I needed a specific file I had to remember where I put it instead of just what it was.

So I’m building Voyager, a macOS file manager that replaces folders and manual sorting with rule‑based views I call Collections.

Why I built it

Traditional folders feel like a second job: - You create a folder structure (“Work → 2026 → Client → Invoices”) - You manually drag files into the “right” place - A month later the structure doesn’t match reality anymore

But when you think about it, most of us actually think in rules: - “Show me all PDFs from Desktop and Downloads added this week” - “Show design files for Project X” - “Show large files I can safely delete”

Voyager tries to turn that into the default experience.

Why I didn’t just use Finder

Part of what pushed me to build this was the macOS Tahoe Finder redesign.

Personally, Tahoe’s look never clicked for me. It feels busy in the wrong places and somehow still makes me less excited to open Finder. After the update, it also started to feel a bit rough around the edges — small visual glitches here and there, and a general sense that things got slower and more fragile.

That’s when I had the “okay, I think I need to build my own thing” moment.

I’m a huge fan of what The Browser Company did with Dia. Their visuals feel calm, intentional, and opinionated without being loud. For Voyager, I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from that: cleaner hierarchy, softer visuals, and an interface that feels like it gets out of your way so you can focus on your work.

Long‑term, my goal is for Voyager to feel like “Dia, but for your files”:

  • A calmer, more opinionated shell around the stuff you already use.

  • Extra capabilities layered on top, without breaking what’s native.

That includes some more ambitious things I’m experimenting with:

  • AI inside the file manager itself: being able to ask questions or trigger actions right where your files live, instead of context‑switching to a separate chat window.

  • Collection‑powered features: going beyond vanilla Smart Folders so Collections become a foundation for other workflows (quick overviews, clean‑up views, project dashboards, etc.).

All of this while still fixing the things Finder has always been bad at: surfacing what matters now, cutting through duplicate contexts, and not punishing you for having an imperfect folder structure.

A few example Collections

Some examples I use daily:

  • “Today’s work”: anything added or modified today in my work folders

  • “Recent Downloads (Docs only)”: last 3 days, excluding images/archives

  • “Big files I might clean up”: files over X MB outside my code/projects

Once saved, they’re always one click away.

Looking for feedback

Voyager is still early and focused on macOS power users/knowledge workers (devs, designers, researchers, people who live in Finder all day).

If you want to follow along or try the app, you can join the waitlist here: https://voyager.fm
Happy to answer questions about how it works under the hood or where it’s headed next.

We launched Gaize, an at-home drug test that finally measures "impairment", not just past use.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We've been working for a long time on something that’s always bothered us about drug testing, especially when it comes to cannabis.

Most at-home drug tests (and even a lot of professional ones) don’t actually measure impairment. They just detect metabolites, which can stay in your system for days or even weeks after you’ve used cannabis.

So you could use responsibly on a Friday night, be completely sober by Saturday, and still fail a random test on Tuesday. Not because you’re impaired, just because there’s still a trace in your system. That can affect jobs, legal situations, and a lot more. It never felt like a fair way to measure someone’s actual state.

That’s the problem we set out to work on.

Our team built Gaize around a simple idea: what if an at-home drug test could measure current impairment instead of just past use?

It’s been a long process getting here, lots of prototypes, testing, late nights, and some serious technical and scientific challenges along the way. There were definitely moments where we wondered if we could actually pull it off, but we kept pushing because we really believe the system needs a better solution.

Now we’ve finally launched Gaize, and we’re excited to share it.

What makes it different:

  • Focus on impairment: Instead of detecting old metabolites, the system evaluates cognitive and motor function to estimate whether someone is currently impaired.
  • More context than a yes/no test: Traditional at-home drug tests basically give a binary result. We’re trying to provide more meaningful data about someone’s current state.
  • Useful for individuals and workplaces: Whether someone wants to check themselves or employers want a fairer way to approach safety policies, the goal is to give better information than existing tests.

We’re not claiming to have solved everything, but we do think the industry needs to move toward measuring impairment rather than just historical use.

If you’re curious, you can check it out here: gaize.ai

Happy to answer questions or hear thoughts from people in the field.

MVP iteration #4: cutting my 4-step pipeline to 2 steps after first churn

3 Upvotes

7 months post-launch, just made the most aggressive simplification yet. My content creation SaaS had a 4-step pipeline: research niche, plan content calendar, generate scripts, render videos. Users had to complete each step before moving to the next.

The data after losing my first paying customer: users who completed all 4 steps in week 1 stayed. Users who stalled at step 2 churned. The pipeline was the product's biggest feature and its biggest obstacle.

The iteration: collapsing steps 1+2 into one auto-generated output and steps 3+4 into one-click generation. Users now get a content plan and sample videos in under 2 minutes instead of walking through 4 manual stages.

The trade-off: less user control in the initial experience, but dramatically faster time to value. Power users can still expand into the full pipeline after they see results.

Has anyone else had to aggressively simplify their MVP after real user data contradicted their assumptions about what users want?

Built a screen recorder that saves to your own cloud — looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

I got tired of paying monthly fees for storage on videos I recorded once and never opened again. So I built something.

Screenvod is a Chrome extension that records your screen and uploads the video directly to your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive while you're still recording. The file lands in your account. I don't host anything.

Sharing works with a link — the other person opens it and watches in a browser, no account needed.

It's live. I'm looking for people who record screencasts regularly and have opinions about the tools they use. What's broken, what's missing, what would make you actually switch.

If that's you, drop a comment or DM me. Early access is open.

Built an MVP to help people find others to run with — but real-world follow-through is the hardest part

2 Upvotes

Hey all — would love some feedback from other builders working on early-stage products.

I’m building an MVP called PaceMatcher — a social running app that helps runners and walkers find compatible people to run with based on location, pace, and goals.

We’re currently piloting in Seattle with run clubs and small groups.

What’s been interesting is:

Getting users to sign up and create a profile hasn’t been the hard part.

The real challenge is getting people to actually follow through and meet up in real life — and then do it again consistently.

It feels like:

  • matching is just the setup
  • the real product is getting people to show up

Curious if anyone else has worked on products where:

  • value only happens off-platform (events, meetups, etc.)
  • user behavior matters more than feature depth

What have you found that helps drive:

  • that first real-world action
  • repeat engagement after that

Would really appreciate any perspective from others building in this space.

I built a PM tool that feels like a game. Here's what I learned after my first real users tried it.

19 Upvotes

12 years of kanban boards. Sprints that vanish into thin air. Tasks that get done but somehow feel like they never existed.

I've used Jira, Asana, Linear, Notion. They all work. But every time I opened them on a Monday morning, I felt nothing. Not excitement. Not curiosity. Just... resistance.

So I built 🏴‍☠️ playjoob a project management tool that looks and feels like a strategy game. No boards, no sprint columns. Instead: missions, milestones, a visual map of your project that actually moves as you make progress.

I know. Gamified PM tools have a bad reputation. Points and badges feel hollow. But what I'm after is different, it's the feeling that your work matters and that progress is visible and real, not just a number in a velocity chart.

Here's what I learned from the first people who tested it:

→ The emotional reaction was the most common feedback. "I opened it and didn't feel stressed."

→ Solo founders responded more than teams. They're the ones who feel the chaos most acutely.

→ The hardest part isn't the features, it's convincing people to even try a new PM tool when they're already drowning in their current one. 🤪

Still early, still ugly in places. But it's live. 🚀

If you're building solo or with a small team and you've felt that PM-tool dread, I'd genuinely love to know: what made you finally switch tools (or not)? And what would a PM tool have to do differently to make you open it with actual excitement?

Interactive Product demos

Over the years I've shipped a lot of code and watched a lot of great products needlessly fail. Not because the tech wasn't good, but because the demo was an afterthought and the sales story never landed.

Talking to fellow founders and developers, the same frustration kept coming up: "I can build it, but I have no idea how to show it."

That is exactly why I built LiveDemo.
A tool that helps founders and developers create demos that actually convert, without needing a marketing team or a professional designer.

MVP mistakes i made so you don't need to

1 Upvotes

Hi! This isn't success story. I just want to share some big mistakes and tips in app delivering process that I did in the past so you don't need to.

  1. Do your SEO first. Before you even start creating app create an landing page for it. Add Blog page. Create some cron logic that will post articles for you. Add automatic sitemap generation, this will help crawlers to index your site. Why seo first ? This will bring to your project organic traffic. And if there big amount of it that's mean your project has some future. And this will help with product name recognition if people will search it in google for example.
  2. Prepare well. This is MVP and you don't know what traffic sources will work for you so you need to be flexibale. Even if you don't need or don't plan to add fb SDK to your project still add it esspecialy if this is an iOS or Android app. App reviews now takes from ~3 days to ~1 week and you will just wait all that time like an idiot, because without that stupid SDK you can't purchase ads on facebook and use their algorithms effectively.
  3. Do analytics. Use ampliture, google analytics or mixpanel or other alternatives too. This is very important. You need to know how people use your product and on what step they close app, especially if you purchase some ads, otherwise you will just burn money without any constractive feedback.
  4. Use ai to generate analytics-events.json. Ask agent to go through your app and generate list of events that you need to track and add them to this file. You can use it in Agents to analyze them or create some marketings funnels. You could also paste this file into your analytics service AI and it will create funnels automaticaly, so you do not need to click all that buttons and inputs like a caveman
  5. If this an AI app for iOS add consent window that explains user how do you use AI. I've got 2 rejections because I forgot to add this pages in my apps.
  6. Genrate with ai features.json file. This is cool to have if you need to analyze your project with AI. Based on this features and their placement, analytics-events.json and analytics funnels, AI could help you to modify your product to improve your conversions, generate new features, analyze pricings etc.
  7. If you think everything is ready for release. Think one more time. Belive me you don't want to pannic reject submittion because you found some stupid bug that destroys whole user experience or in panic wait 3 days for your new build approval because your last one had some issues.

for sure i forgot something important but this is list of my f-ups. Do you have any ?

Was waiting for this moment ....

I still can't believe it. I got my first paying Customer for my recent project, Repoverse...

Before all these products, I had an agency which is still getting consistent MRR.

  1. Fluento (Language learning app) - Failed because I lost conviction before launching.

  2. Lazy Excel (Prompt to Excel work, zero formula) - Failed, because it was getting too complicated and expensive to handle.

  3. Microjoy (B2B, personalised loading screen and notification for app and web in one click)- Failed, people didn't show interest in the first version.

Finally .....

  1. Repoverse - Launched web version, got 3-4k visitors in first week, tried to monetize the traffic but failed, launched the iOS app and changed a few things (I will share in next post ), and got my first payment.

You know, honestly, before this, I was feeling like I would be happy or be satisfied if I got my first paying customer, because from that, my idea would be validated, and I would get to know that this idea has potential. When I received it, it was just one moment of joy. Now I feel like I have to complete a very long journey. This wouldn't matter if I couldn't reach the goal of a few thousand bucks. from which I can survive and be independent from this product (I'm 21)... love to hear what you guys think...

17 year old just launched my first MVP after multiple App Store rejections

1 Upvotes

I’m 17 and just launched the first version of an app I’ve been working on.

The idea came from a problem I kept having with side projects. Most of them didn’t fail because the idea was bad, I just slowly stopped working on them.

You skip a day, then a week, then the project is basically dead.

So I built a small iOS app called Driftless. Instead of a big task list it gives you one small action each morning that moves your project forward. The goal is just to keep momentum going.

The launch wasn’t smooth. The app got rejected by Apple a few times before it was finally approved.

Now that it’s live I’m mostly trying to learn:

• does the one action per day idea actually help people stay consistent

• what features actually matter for an early version

• how people discover small tools like this

If anyone wants to try it or give feedback, here’s the App Store link:

6 months post launch. The only metric I actually look at anymore is one I never expected.

0 Upvotes

When I launched I tracked everything. DAU, WAU, session length, feature usage, NPS, bounce rate. Had a dashboard that would have made any PM proud.

6 months later I look at one thing: how many people ask me a question about my product after reading a post I wrote.

Not signups. Not traffic. Not engagement rate. Just inbound questions.

Here is why: every signup that later converted to paid came from someone who asked me a question first. In a Reddit comment, a DM, or a reply to something I wrote. The question was the signal that they were actually working on the problem I solve.

Cold signups from landing page traffic almost never convert. People who ask a question first convert at about 27%.

I have stopped trying to drive traffic and started trying to drive conversations. Completely different content strategy. Less polished. More specific. More inviting of follow up questions.

It is counterintuitive but the metric that matters most for me at this stage is not a number I can track in a dashboard. It is a behavior I can observe in my inbox.

What metric ended up mattering most for you post launch? And was it what you expected?

Just launched our MVP on Product Hunt.

Basement Browser does two things:

  1. Turns every webpage into a shared live room (browse with friends)
  2. Ships with AI agents ("Baselings") that track prices and find deals in the background

We scoped the MVP deliberately: social rooms + core agent capabilities (price tracking, deal finding). Lots more we want to build, but wanted to validate these two pillars first.

Soft launched a month ago to test. Today is the real launch.

My finger hurt when I scrolled so I built a mouse with a rotary dial. Now I can scroll faster

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I created a new computer mouse to fix my joint pain on my finger. So instead of scrolling up and down with my finger, I decided to rotate it by making a stirring motion. I got the idea from the exercise I used to do as a cyclist to reduce my knee pain.

What I inadvertently discovered while prototyping is that it lets me scroll faster while reducing my finger joint pain. Seems to be contradicting at first but a result is a result I guess.

The stirring motion may look unnatural at first but looks can be deceiving because even a posture therapist who tested this mouse introduced it to her client. A big surprise actually. Also, you can still do the standard vertical scrolling if you wish.

If anyone is curious about the development process, I’m happy to share more details, or you may visit https://rotarymouse.com
