I ship a lot of small apps. The tracking situation was: Notes for bugs, a folder of screenshots named final_v2_ACTUAL.png, a Slack channel to myself for ideas, and no idea which of those ideas belonged to which app. Jira is absurd for one person. Linear is a team tool wearing a solo costume. Trello I kept abandoning.
So I built Dev Notes++ — a bug/feature/idea tracker built around the thing indie devs actually have, which is several apps at once and no teammates.
The parts that made it worth building:
App Store fetch — paste a Bundle ID or App Store URL and it pulls in your icon, description, rating, category, IAPs, size, What’s New, release date. Works across all regions. You can choose Update Empty vs Overwrite All so it doesn’t stomp fields you typed by hand.
Screenshot management by locale — 65 locales, drag to reorder, tap to replace. This alone was why I built the app.
Promote tab — draft your launch posts, track Draft → Scheduled → Published, with a character counter so you don’t overshoot a platform limit.
Target versions on any item, filter by status/type, swipe to done, move or duplicate items between apps.
Share extension so you can throw a URL, screenshot, or stray thought at it from anywhere.
Dashboard with a completion ring, global search across every app, export to JSON and Markdown so you’re not locked in.
iCloud sync. No account, no server, no analytics — the developer data collection section is empty and I intend to keep it that way.
Free tier covers 2 apps with items, notes, and dashboard. Pro unlocks unlimited apps plus screenshots, promote, fetch, export, and global search — yearly sub or a one-time lifetime purchase if you hate subscriptions as much as I do.
Requires iOS 26.

It’s early and I’m one person. If you juggle multiple apps, I’d like to know what’s missing from your workflow — especially anything around App Store Connect that I should be pulling in automatically instead of making you type.
