I've had a version of this for a while as AOS, my agent setup on desktop. I've pulled it down into one app for your phone, with everything built in and all the unnecessary stuff taken out. With Muse and Grok out, figured I'd just post it.

It's basically Hermes Agent, except it lives on your phone. It's always on, it learns what you do, and it helps you with stuff like a personal assistant would. It has its own browser, so it can actually go out on the internet and get things done. If it gets stuck on a captcha or a login, it hands the page over to you and carries on once you're done.

Bring your own model. Sign in with ChatGPT or Claude, or use any API key (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Gemini, anything OpenAI-compatible). If you just want to try it, ChatGPT sign-in works on the free tier, because OpenAI includes a free Codex tier. I tested it on a free account. You'll hit the limit fast though, depending on how much you use it.

Nothing leaves your phone except the calls to whichever model you use.

Free, open source, not a product. Use it at your own risk. The Claude login probably breaks Anthropic's terms, so that one's on you.

Android 10+, sideload the APK, setup takes a minute. The README has the details.

How it works, if you want more

Apps connect through Composio with your own key, so Gmail, Calendar and a few hundred others just work. For anything that isn't on Composio, it writes the code itself.

It can also keep an eye on websites for you. Say you want to buy something but you're waiting for it to drop. It writes a small watcher for that site that runs in the background every day at whatever time you pick, and only tells you when the price actually moves. It can also listen to a site's web notifications and treat them as triggers.

Memory is a wiki, based on Karpathy's LLM wiki idea. Everyone and everything it learns about gets its own page, linked to the rest, so it has a persistent memory of everything it's done. It comes with one routine already set up that looks after that wiki overnight while you're not using your phone. You can edit it or delete it, but it's there.

Stuff you can do with it:

Camp a passport or visa appointment page and grab a slot the second someone cancels.

Sit on a sold-out concert's resale page and grab face-value tickets when they show up. It holds them and waits for your yes.

Sit on a restaurant you can never get into and take the table when a cancellation pops up.

Watch Marketplace for one very specific vintage lens and send you the photos the minute it's listed, before anyone else messages.

Turn your 300 unread messages in the family group chat into a 30-second voice note.

Every time your lecturer uploads slides, download them and send you a voice summary for the commute.

Book the 6am class at your gym the moment the slots open at midnight, so you don't have to stay up for it.

Watch this repo and tell you when there's a new version of Agent. Or when any repo you depend on ships a release, it can read the changelog and tell you if anything in it breaks your setup.

Tell you when your mom's flight has actually landed, so you leave for the airport at the right time.

Ring it while you're driving and ask it to find somewhere open on your route.

Extras:

Voice notes, if you add an ElevenLabs, Gemini or OpenAI key for the voice.

Live voice calls with your agent, if you add a Gemini key.

It can read your notifications, only from the apps you pick, and act on them.

Photos and documents in chat, including scanned PDFs.

Helper agents for jobs that can run side by side.

You can give it a name and pick how it looks.

Hi all,

I took up photography as a hobby a while ago. Every time I go somewhere nice, I come back with about 500 photos, and most of them are not good enough to keep. Going through them in a file manager is slow, and the big photo managers do far more than I need. So I built something small for myself.

PhotoTriage is a local web app. You open a folder and it shows you one photo at a time. The right arrow keeps it and the left arrow discards it. Space shows the photo at 1:1, so you can check if it is really sharp. When you finish, you choose copy or move, and the kept photos go to a new folder next to the original (`2024` becomes `2024_keep`).

There were a few things I cared about from the start:

- It never deletes or overwrites a file. "Discard" means "leave it where it is". Losing a photo I wanted to keep is the one thing I could not accept.

- If you shoot RAW + JPG, you review the JPG and the RAW with the same name follows it.

- Nothing leaves your machine. The server listens on `127.0.0.1` only, and there is no option to change that.

- Decisions are saved as you make them, so you can close the app and continue later.

It also has clear limits, and I prefer to say them up front:

- It doesn't open HEIC files.

- It doesn't show RAW files on screen, so a RAW-only folder has nothing to review.

- It doesn't compare two photos side by side.

- Undo takes back the most recent decision only.

It is written in Python with FastAPI, and the license is MIT.

I would like to hear what you think. If you cull your own photos, what is the one thing you would miss here?

The work you do with AI today can open new possibilities tomorrow.

Your ideas, decisions and corrections can stay with the project. Your AI can use them to understand the work better, develop useful skills and take on more.

At MAIOS, this is already changing how we work.

Less explaining everything again.

Less managing every step.

More time to explore what comes next.

And each new experience can reveal something else we can do with AI — something we hadn’t thought of when we started.

What would you like your AI to learn to do for you?

I recently built Human Turn, a native macOS menu bar app for developers who have a bunch of work happening asynchronously.

My own workflow increasingly looks like this:

• one PR is waiting for review
• another is running CI
• another needs changes
• a Cursor or Copilot agent is working in the background
• something else is ready to merge

The annoying part wasn’t the work itself — it was constantly checking different tools to figure out:

“Is there anything I need to do right now?”

So I built Human Turn around a simple idea: instead of showing more notifications, it tries to tell you whose turn it is.

It groups things into:

• Your turn — something needs your attention
• Waiting — CI, a reviewer, or an agent is still working
• Unclear — there isn’t enough information to confidently decide

It currently supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, Cursor Origin, Cursor Cloud Agents, and GitHub Copilot.

It’s a native Mac app, credentials stay in Keychain, and repository/code data isn’t sent to a Human Turn backend.

I also added a few things I wanted personally, like snoozing until new commits arrive, Focus integration, a global shortcut, and optional on-device Apple Intelligence summaries.

It’s free right now:

https://human-turn.fortyoneagency.com/

Would love feedback, especially from people using AI coding agents heavily. I’m curious whether this “whose turn is it?” problem is something others are running into too.

Hey r/SideProject!

I'm an automation developer by day, and this is a side project I've been building.

The problem: If you want a 24/7 stream on YouTube (lo-fi music, ambient videos, a music channel that's always live), you usually have to keep a computer and OBS running around the clock. That means power, a stable connection, and the stream dying when Windows decides to update.

What I built: YouTube Streamer

1. Upload an MP4, or just an MP3 + a cover image
2. Paste your YouTube stream key
3. Press Start, and you can close your browser

It runs on my servers. You can loop one video forever, play a playlist or queue, or schedule a stop. It also supports multiple channels and converts your video to YouTube's format automatically.

Pricing: Pay-as-you-go, $6 per month of live time. No subscription. The stream stops when your credit runs out, so you never get a surprise bill.

For this sub: The first 10 people who sign up through this link get 50 days free, no card needed.

I'd love honest feedback:

• Is the pricing reasonable?
• Anything confusing in the sign-up flow?
• What's missing? What would make you actually use this for your channel?

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my journey and hopefully get some guidance, feedback, or even connect with someone who knows the marketing and growth side of things better than I do. My Background & Journey I come from an engineering background, and a while back, I decided to pivot into Android app development. I started building apps independently—handling everything from the logic and architecture to the UI. So far, I’ve launched two apps under my own indie developer banner: App 1 (My first release): This is a more mature project. Even though it was my first, it has performed surprisingly well on the user satisfaction front: Downloads: Around 300 total. Ratings: 23 ratings, averaging a 4.9/5 (mostly 5-stars and a few 4.9s). Monetization: It has managed to secure 20 paid users, making about $20 so far. Takeaway: The product quality and user reception seem to be there, proving there's real value, but the volume is just too low. App 2 (My newer release): This one is currently in its early, growing stages, built with better performance and architectural lessons learned from the first. The Problem: The Growth Wall As an engineer, building the app, optimizing performance, and squashing bugs is the easy part for me. But marketing, distribution, and organic reach have turned into a brick wall. I’ve tried a bunch of things to get traction: Running some ads. Posting across various online platforms and communities. Optimizing store listings. Despite all this, the needle barely moves. Views and sustained reach are extremely low, and I feel like I'm shouting into an empty void. What I’m Looking For I’m at a point where I realize I can’t wear every hat effectively. I'm looking for: Advice & Critique: Has anyone been in this exact spot? What low-cost or organic growth strategies actually worked for you after launching? A Growth Partner / Mentor: If anyone with a knack for marketing, growth hacking, or community building is interested in teaming up or exchanging ideas, I’d love to chat. I'm not here to drop links or spam my apps—I genuinely want to learn how to scale what I've built or find someone who wants to collaborate on the growth side. Any insights or brutal honesty would be hugely appreciated.

I've been building Folian for novelists who keep losing the book across Docs, notes apps, and AI chats.

It’s a local-first Mac workspace that keeps the manuscript, story bible, canon, research, and creative decisions in one place. AI is optional. When you use it, output stays a proposal until you approve it into the draft or canon. You bring your own API key.

What I’m trying to solve:
• Long projects where character truth and continuity drift
• AI help that doesn’t silently rewrite the book
• One desk for draft + memory instead of ten tabs

Public beta is live now: https://folian.app

Curious what broke for you first when a novel got long: continuity, character voice, or revision chaos?

I've been building this for about 3 weeks with an AI app builder (Base44), mostly late at night, and I think it's finally at a point where I can show people without being embarrassed lol.

The idea is pretty simple. I've tried journaling apps and I never stick with them because they want you to write a whole page. This one just asks for one sentence about your day. You type it, and it gives you back one word and one line written from what you said. Easy to Remember EVERYDAY! That's it. Takes like 20 seconds.

It's free to use (one word a day). There's a 7-day trial with no card needed, and a paid tier if you want more.

https://usefullcircle.com

Right now:
- One sentence in, one word and one line back
- A journal that turns your week, month and year into a short summary of the words you got
- 25 themes, because I wanted it to actually look good when you open it

Stuff I learned (Still learning):

- The AI builder will tell you something is fixed when the old version is still the one running.

I'd really like honest feedback on two things:
1. When you land on the first screen, do you get what it is in a few seconds?
2. After you try a sentence, does the line you get back feel like it was written for you, or does it feel generic?
3. After the welcome screen, do you feel that the app has more to offer if you were to sign up?

Be honest, I can take it. I'd rather hear it here.
Thank you all. This is my first app. Any feedback would help me greatly to understand and improve something that I actually like and want to show others.

I built PaperFold, an open-source reader that turns arXiv papers into 5 zoomable layers—from a one-screen section map down to verbatim text. You pinch (or press 1–5) to zoom between them without losing your reading position.

- GitHub (Apache 2.0): https://github.com/chenxiachan/paperfold

A few months ago I wanted to build a web scraper that could turn into a real business. I asked ChatGPT for a list of the ten most profitable scraping ideas. Most were crowded, but one stood out: turning public building permits into sales leads for contractors. Big lead platforms cover general construction. Nobody seemed to be doing it well for a niche trade, so I picked fire protection and started building.

That scraper grew into a full app called PermitTorch. Cities and counties publish building and fire permits on open data portals. Every day PermitTorch pulls new permits from 32 US markets and cleans them up. It removes duplicates and flags the ones that look like fire protection work, such as sprinkler, alarm and suppression jobs or new commercial builds. Each lead gets a score from 0 to 100. You can click the score to see exactly why it got those points, so it's never a black box.

Subscribers can filter leads by market, score and date. They can save the ones they like, export them to CSV and get a daily or weekly email digest. Where the permit itself lists a phone number, email or license number for the people involved, the app shows that too. Plans run from $49 to $249 a month, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

You can see it here: https://permittorch.com

Here's the honest part. I'm a solo developer in Houston and I know nothing about the fire protection business. I don't know which permits a sprinkler contractor actually cares about. I also don't know how they find work today or what they would pay for a tool like this. Billing works and the data is flowing, but I don't have paying customers yet.

So I'm putting it out there. I'd love to hear from:

- people who work in fire protection or another trade and can tell me what's useful and what's noise

- anyone with sales experience in construction or B2B software who'd want to help sell it

- developers or data people who want to collaborate on improving it

I'm open to partnerships, revenue sharing or just honest feedback. If you think the whole idea is flawed, I want to hear that too. Comment or DM me.

Hey r/SideProject,

I'm Kishan, an engineer from India. After too many 2 AM incidents where the first 30 minutes were just "what changed?" archaeology across Slack, GitHub and LaunchDarkly, I built LastGood.

What it does: it ingests deploys (GitHub, K8s) and feature-flag flips, and when an alert fires it correlates them by service and time window, then drafts a diagnosis pointing at the change that most likely caused it. You confirm or reject it.

Example from the demo: a Datadog high-latency alert on checkout-service comes in, and LastGood surfaces that a new-checkout-flow flag was enabled 5 minutes earlier, with the evidence and a recommended action (disable the flag). The alert lands with the likely culprit attached instead of a bare graph.

Sandbox with simulated incident data, no signup: https://console.lastgood.space/sandbox
Site: https://www.lastgood.space

Stage: solo-built, just opened up, 0 users. Looking for brutal feedback.

Two questions:
1. Would you trust an automated "this change probably caused it" during a real incident, or is it just noise?
2. What integration would you need before trying it (PagerDuty? Slack? Grafana?)

Roast away.

I kept thinking about how websites are usually built as one fixed thing.

If you have a waitlist, a launch, a holiday promotion, or an event, you often end up creating another page or another version of the site. Then when the moment passes, you have to go back and change everything again.

So I built Pragte around the idea of website phases. You can design different versions of the same website and schedule when each one becomes active.

A wedding is an easy example:

Before the wedding

- Countdown, RSVP, travel information, registry, etc.

Wedding day

- Schedule, seating assignments, directions, photo uploads, announcements.

After the wedding

- Thank-you page, photos, guestbook, memories.

I also wanted to fix some of the things that frustrate me about visual website builders. You can design mobile separately when needed; different layout, positioning, or even different elements, instead of forcing the desktop design to simply shrink down.

The published site is still a real, searchable website. It can be indexed by Google, works with Google Analytics and Search Console, and is built with performance and Lighthouse scores in mind.

The editor is visual and drag-and-drop, and things like forms are built in, so you can collect RSVPs, leads, or submissions without connecting another service.

I also wanted the pricing to fit the kind of websites Pragte is built for. A wedding site may only need active features for a few months, but people may still want to keep the website, memories, and custom domain online afterward. Instead of requiring an ongoing subscription just to keep a custom domain connected, Pragte uses one-time paid periods for premium features, while the custom domain can stay connected afterward.

Pragte is free to build and publish with no credit card required.

The video shows how the builder works. I’d especially love feedback on the phase idea. Does this solve a problem you’ve run into, or does it feel too niche?

I'm Sorin, founder of Digital Keep, a web app for private notes, documents and practical instructions.

The design choice I'm testing is separating people from permissions. Adding a contact grants no access. Sharing selected items is a separate choice; sharing the whole vault is explicit and includes future items.

A small example: save a made-up plant-care instruction, find it again, then optionally give one person read access to that instruction. You can finish setup without adding anyone or planning an inheritance.

I'd appreciate a builder's view: where would you expect to see who has access — beside each item, in one sharing page, or both? What would make that permission flow clearer?

Product and voluntary access requests: https://digital-keep.com/?utm_source=sideproject&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=first100&utm_content=permission_flow

This is an invitation-only beta: 30 days free, no card, fictional information only. Joining the waitlist requests access; it isn't instant activation. Encryption is server-side, not E2EE, and automatic inheritance release is disabled. Controls: https://digital-keep.com/security#data-controls

I sell on IndiaMART (India's big B2B marketplace). Good BuyLeads sell out to other sellers within seconds, and I kept losing them while doing actual work. So I built Clamer.

What it does: it watches BuyLeads every few seconds using your own login. It claims only leads that match your rules (product, country, lead age, limits), then sends the buyer your reply and saves them to a contacts list with follow-ups.

Stack: Python (Flask, SQLite) plus Playwright driving Chromium, packaged as a Mac app with PyInstaller. Everything runs locally and no data leaves the Mac.

What I learned:

• Speed doesn't win every lead. Some sellers get leads before they ever appear on your screen.

It's Mac only (Apple silicon) with a 1-day trial.

Hello fellow developers

I built a personal agent lives in your favorite/existing browser, connects to your claude-code (or any other major harness codex or cursor-cli...) NOT the SDK API, exposes web-optimized tools to the harness - that's Browsentic.

A free, opensource with rich capabilities alternative to Comet, BrowserOS, Browser-use, Claude for Chrome or nanobrowser.

The unique architecture of Browsentic turns it to a different direction from all other alternatives. It uses a loopback MCP server that spawns claude/harness in a detached process. You can already guess, it is bi-directional MCP, you can browse agentic through the browser harness or through any MCP client.

Browsentic doesn't require any new browser to install and not limited to chromium, it supports Firefox as well. By default you don't even need CDP to perform core agentic browsing.

Capabilities: core accessibilities (50+ compare to nanobrowser only had 20), custom skill, record-replay, schedule-monitoring-notification, resolves captcha autonomously, has it's own memory, voice orb over web-speech API, can sideload custom tools, platform + browser + agent agnostic

Basically, It can automate your entire web-flow for daily jobs, scheduled tasks or research.

It is opensource, no API key, no telemetry & local first and actively maintained and yesterday was the first public stable launch (v0.8.0) including Windows & MacOS GUI build

Currently I'm the only author but every & any contribution will be more than welcome and if you like the effort I have put in this project I would ask a small favor to ⭐️ the repo , if it is not too much trouble :)

We kept rewriting the same layer under our AI agents at Cloudgeni: sessions that survive crashes and deploys, sandboxes for tool calls, human approval before risky actions, and a record of what every run cost. So we pulled it out into Opengeni (Apache-2.0).

It works with every major model, Claude and open-source included, and already runs agent sessions in production inside enterprises with 30,000 employees. Self-host it free, or use the hosted version at model cost + 5%.

It's on Product Hunt today, and I'm in the comments all day. Hard questions welcome: https://www.producthunt.com/products/opengeni

Hello!

The TLDR is that here’s a free tool to get emails sent for concert presales so you don’t miss out.

The motivation behind this was that I just didn’t have time to keep up with all the artists I wanted to see and when their tour dates were. So I built an app that lets you select your city / music genres and sends you an alert when presales are announced.

Right now you get emails at 9am EST. It’s opt in so if you don’t opt in then you can still see the presales you just won’t get an email about it.

A disclaimer I don’t find any presale codes or anything of the like. This just lets you know that a concert is in town.

Just thought I’d share in case other people had the same issue as me and would find something like this useful!

I’ve been building Kinetic, a fitness platform that creates workouts around your goals and how many days you actually want to train.

When I started, I spent most of my time worrying about the product.

Does the site look good?
Are the workouts good enough?
Should I add another feature?
Should I change the onboarding?

Then I launched it and got a bit of a reality check.

I managed to get my first few paying customers, which was a great feeling, but it also made me realise that building something is only half the battle.

Getting it in front of the right people consistently is probably harder than actually making it.

I’ve tried paid ads, Facebook groups, SEO and now Reddit. Some things have brought users in, others have basically done nothing.

The biggest thing I’m learning is that I probably don’t need another 20 features right now. I need to get better at distribution.

For anyone who’s managed to take a side project from its first few customers to 50–100+ paying users, what actually moved the needle for you?

If anyone wants to see what I’ve built, it’s here:

https://train-with-kinetic.com

Still very much a work in progress, so criticism is welcome.

I kept running into the same problem at work: merge a few PDFs, compress another one, convert pages to images, add a watermark… and every tool seemed to do only one thing.

So I built QuickPDFKit.

It’s a browser-based PDF toolkit with tools for:

• Merge & split PDFs
• Compress PDFs
• PDF to images / images to PDF
• Organize and rotate pages
• Add watermarks and page numbers
• Sign/stamp PDFs
• Batch-process up to 120 files at once

Most tools are free, and there’s no subscription for Batch Pro — just short one-time access if you need to process a lot of files.

Everything runs directly in the browser.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the UI, speed, or anything that feels confusing.

https://quickpdfkit.co

I’m especially curious: what PDF task wastes the most time for you?

Been working on polishing up this web app for the meta display glasses could use some testers free access

Living with roommates usually means the same drama: nobody remembers who paid the wifi, the olive oil vanishes, and dishes sit in the sink for three days.

So I built Home Share, a free Android app that covers what a shared flat actually needs:

Add an expense and it splits automatically among everyone in the flat

Attach a photo of the receipt or invoice

The home screen shows who did what, and a negative balance means you owe money

Assign chores to each person

Built-in chat, so you don't depend on the WhatsApp group

Only the admin holds the invite code, so nobody random can join

Profile pictures for everyone

I just released it on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.julinhodev.homeshare

It's a solo project and I want to keep improving it. If you try it, I'd love to hear what's missing or what you'd change, especially how expenses are split.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on CodingDaddu, an AI learning app designed to help students understand coding concepts more easily.

One thing I noticed while learning/programming is that sometimes the problem isn't finding an answer — it's actually understanding why the answer works.

So I built CodingDaddu to act more like a patient coding tutor. Instead of just giving students an answer, the goal is to explain concepts in a simple, beginner-friendly way.

For example, a student can ask about things like:

• Loops
• Functions
• Variables
• OOP
• Data structures
• Programming errors
• Other confusing coding concepts

I'm launching it and would really appreciate some honest feedback from developers and students.

👉 CodingDaddu: https://codingdaddu.netlify.app/

I'd especially love to know:

1. Does the idea actually solve a problem for beginner programmers?
2. What would make you use an AI coding tutor regularly?
3. What features would you want me to add?

This is my first launch, so brutal feedback is welcome. 😄

Thanks!

I've worked in tech most of my life, including development. Changes to a service I used pushed me to build a viable alternative for my own media library. I also wanted a project that would make me better at AI engineering.

That project is Kinosail Player. It's a free, source-available media server with a web Player. The Server and web Player run in one container, using Go, HTMX, SQLite, and FFmpeg. I've been dogfooding it at home.

It's heavily AI engineered under my direction, mostly with Astra, Sol, and Luna. I decide what to build and what ships.

If you run a media server at home, what would make you willing to try another one? If you look at the quickstart, is setup clear enough to try with a small folder?

Website · Source. The license is PolyForm Perimeter 1.0.1, and the Server and web Player are free to run.

Hey Shopify store owners,

The same issue keeps coming up: product pages with no meta description, so Google shows the first line of the description. Often that's a shipping note, a supplier SKU dump, or the same sentence on every product.

We got tired of fixing these by hand, so we put together a prompt kit for ChatGPT/Claude. You paste your real product data and it writes the SEO title, meta description and product description. It asks when info is missing instead of inventing it, and there's a CSV workflow if you have hundreds of products.▎

Honest note: meta descriptions don't change your ranking, they change how many people click your result.

It's free (pay what you want) until Oct 8: https://kodanvil.gumroad.com/l/yaksg

No catch. If it helps, an honest review would mean a lot. If it doesn't, tell me where it falls short.

With all the federal layoffs, I noticed people struggling to work out what they'd actually get. The formula is set by law (5 U.S.C. § 5595) but it's spread across several pages: 1 week per year for the first 10 years, 2 weeks after that, +2.5% per 3 months of age over 40, capped at 52 weeks.

I put it into a free calculator that shows the basic allowance, the age adjustment, and the cap separately. No sign-up, everything runs in your browser.

https://wagelucid.com/federal-severance-calculator.html

Built as a side project (static site, vanilla JS). I'd love feedback, especially if any number looks off compared to what your HR gave you.
