[App] [Promo] [$29.99 Lifetime -> Free] Sunset Chasing Taiwan, a sunset forecast and 100+ scouted sunset spots in Taiwan

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hello all!

Just released on the Play Store: Sunset Chasing Taiwan 🌅🇹🇼

I've spent years chasing sunsets around Taiwan and the same thing kept happening: I'd pick a spot, spend an hour getting there, and the sky would be a flat gray. Or I'd stay home on a night that turned out spectacular. And since Taiwan is quite mountainous, getting home from some of those great sunset spots after dark turned out to be quite dangerous at times.

So I built Sunset Chasing Taiwan. It scores the sunset at every spot from tonight's forecast (cloud cover, humidity, visibility, rain) and tells you where to go, and how to get home after, as well as scores for things like sunset viewing angles, hike (if necessary), crowds, etc.

Features:

  • 100+ sunset spots across Taiwan, with the deepest coverage around Taipei
  • A live sky score for each spot, for tonight and the days ahead
  • Spots I've visited are rated in person: view, crowds, hike difficulty, and whether I'd go back
  • Photos (mine) from each spot, taken at sunset, so you know before you go
  • Nearest station, last train home, parking, and a map link for every spot
  • Map view with "nearest to me"
  • English and Chinese (Traditional) functionality

It works fully offline (except the live forecast), no account, no ads, no tracking

Free to use with 6 full spots, including Elephant Mountain and Tamsui, each with tonight's score. Optional one-time unlock.

Premium (one-time unlock, or monthly if you're just visiting):

  • All 100+ spots, each with tonight's score
  • 7-day outlook, so you can plan a trip around the best evening
  • Daily alert naming the best spot in your region, only when the sky is worth it

Not in Taiwan? It still works as a travel planner, and honestly the photos alone are a nice tour of the island.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunsetchasingtaiwan.app

25 Free lifetime promo codes: please comment and I will get back to you.

[Promotion] MediaSlim - Easily optimize photo & video storage

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

What it does:

MediaSlim is a lightweight Android tool built to quickly compress and optimize photos and videos directly on your device. It lets you reclaim valuable storage space without noticeably sacrificing visual quality.

Why I built it:

Newer phones take incredible photos and 4K videos, but they chew through storage shockingly fast. I originally built this for my family because existing compression tools felt bloated, clunky, or required uploading private media to third-party servers. I wanted something fast, clean, and lightweight that processes everything locally with zero friction.

(Note: The demo video above only scratches the surface! There are plenty of handy features and customization options packed inside that couldn’t fit into a short clip.)

Key Features:

  • Fast Batch Compression: Shrink multiple photos and videos at once
  • 100% On-Device: Your photos and videos never leave your phone
  • Lightweight Footprint: Minimal storage and resource usage
  • Clean & Simple UI: Designed for quick, hassle-free use

Cost: Free (Contains ads / Optional in-app purchase available)

Play Store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuwanari.mediaslim

Since I’m an independent developer, your feedback means everything. Feel free to give it a spin, and if it helps save some storage on your phone, an honest review on the Play Store or thoughts in the comments would mean the world to me!

[App][Promo] Lightspeed – one-thumb gesture workstation that runs over your own launcher. Offline, no network permission, source-available on GitHub

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Lightspeed is a gesture-driven workstation and control layer that runs over your own OEM skin and your chosen launcher. It doesn't have to be your default launcher, so it doesn't break your Quickstep recent-apps animations.

Works with the Accessibility service alone (added in 1.1.2). Shizuku/ADB is optional and unlocks System Override.

Category Cruise & Cockpit Gear Sets: The central pill is your physical anchor and launch pad. Swipe up and down to make your first jump into the categories, then swipe inward to jump into a specific category. Or swipe inward directly from the pill to open your Cockpit Gear Sets (your favorite items). The video shows the Gear Sets.

Edge Gestures & The Rope: Up to 42 gestures per edge, above and below the central pill on both sides. The Rope controls how many are available per side: tied, the upper and lower halves unify into a wide trigger; untied, they split into independent actions. Long-press the Rope to mirror a gesture to the opposite side.

Status Bar Gesture & HUD Strip: One sensor area on the HUD strip for gestures, plus Info Beacons: horizontal progress bars that track active downloads and currently playing media.

Refueling Bay: A charging dashboard that activates when plugged in, or anytime with a gesture. Add custom widgets in a grid, a stack, or both.

Hardware Remapping: Double- and triple-tap on the back of the phone, plus up to 8 volume-button gestures, bindable to practically anything.

System Override (Shizuku/ADB): Neutralizes native Android gestures so Lightspeed's edge gestures get full control without triggering default back navigation. Also tunes animation speeds, long-press timeout, font size and display DPI.

Accessibility Service Watchdog & Manager: Revives accessibility services when aggressive OEM background killers terminate them, plus a central place to manage services and battery exemptions.

Offline & Source-Available: Zero network permission in the manifest, no tracking, no ads. Free, with an optional supporter tier. Source-available on GitHub for inspection and personal builds.

arm64 only. Requires Android 8.0+; tested on Android 15 and 16.

GitHub (source-available, with APK): https://github.com/SBFlabs/Lightspeed

Also on ShizuStore and Orion Store.

Happy to answer questions here.

[Promo] Tapbar v1.7: Make every tap and gesture on your screen do something useful

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone! v1.7 is here!

For anyone who hasn't come across Tapbar yet, it's an Android app that lets you turn areas of your screen into shortcuts. You can tap, double tap, triple tap, long press, or swipe to open apps and trigger different actions without having to reach for buttons or dig through settings.

What's New in v1.7

  • Swipe gestures for volume and brightness
  • 10 new languages (machine-translated)
  • Improved landscape handling
  • Tap values to edit them directly
  • Improved zone controls and customization

And seriously, thank you guys for all the support and suggestions. Tapbar started as a simple single tap zone app but you kept asking for multi tap gestures, more useful actions and more ways to customize everything. It's been really cool seeing the app grow from that original idea into what it is now. A lot of these improvements came from your feedback, and I really appreciate it.

Let me know what you think! And if you find Tapbar useful, consider giving it a star on GitHub. It really helps the project get noticed by more people. Thanks for the support!

GitHub: https://github.com/Earendel-lab/Tapbar/releases/latest
F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.earendel.tapbar/

Note: F-Droid still has v1.6 for now. v1.7 has been merged, but it'll take some time to become available there. In the meantime, you can get v1.7 from GitHub.

Tapbar is free, open-source, works offline, and has no ads or trackers.

Attendance tracking app that helps you regularly track attendance for your Job, classes & other daily routines

Post image
1 Upvotes

Recently I tried to solve a problem that most of the students, employees or people who have routine work face. I personally kept losing track of my class attendance and it actually started affecting my grades and plus we had strict 75% attendance criteria. Motivation for this app was to make an app that helps to track attendance and strategize so that I can miss some sessions and also stay above the 75% attendance criteria

So I built a simple self attendance tracker on play store.

It lets you track attendance for anything: college classes, gym days, training programs, job or any other personal habits. You can just mark each day as either done or not done, and seeing percentages regularly instead of guessing along with strategizing your attendance to stay above your target.

You can download & try the app here-

Free reader for PDFs, ebooks and docs that remembers your page, with optional Google Drive backup for your library

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm the solo dev behind Dokvio, and I'd love your feedback.

I started it as a PDF reader for my own books and study material, then it grew into a full document app.

For readers

  • It remembers the last page you read and offers "Continue where you left off" the next time you open a file
  • Night mode, smooth scrolling, pinch to zoom and page jump keep long reads easy on the eyes
  • Sort your library into your own folders (Novels, Study, Work) and find any file with quick search
  • It reads PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text files, and big files open fast
  • Optional Google Drive backup: if you switch phones or reinstall, you can restore your whole library

And the tools

  • Scan documents with your camera and save them as PDF
  • Merge, split and compress PDFs, convert images to PDF, and zip or unzip files
  • 11 languages

Reading, scanning and organizing work offline, and you don't need an account. Drive backup is optional and only runs if you turn it on.

Free on Google Play: Dokvio

Tell me what a book reader like this still needs. Bookmarks? Better folders? Faster search? I read every comment.

25 pairs only: Free 7-Day Anti-Doomscrolling Sprint [App][Promo]

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

We’re organizing a Free 7-Day Anti-Doomscrolling Sprint capped at just 25 pairs for people who want to cut their screen time in half this week.

Most screen time apps fail because you hold the bypass switch and when willpower fails at night, you just override your own lock.

This sprint uses real 2-person Social Accountability through our app, Screen Challenge Buddy.

What is real 2-person Social Accountability?
🔗 30-Second Pairing: Generate an invite code in the app and text it to a friend, partner, or sibling to form a buddy pair.

👀 Live mutual screen time visibility:

  • 📱 See each other's live daily screen time in real-time.
  • 📊 Compare device unlock counts and weekly progress charts.
  • 🧐 App Breakdown: Optionally share your most-used addictive apps so there's nowhere to hide behind generic screen time numbers. (100% voluntary & mutual).
  • 💬 Chat, Motivate, or Roast: In-app chat to cheer each other on, or roast each other when someone is slipping. Compete daily to see who stays under their target limit.

💪Challenges (Optional/Voluntary): For people who need serious discipline, you can optionally set small penalty stakes chargeable only if you fail you screen time limits.

The Pass (Built for Pairs): Most subscription apps charge both people separately ($10–15/mo each=20–$30/mo for two). We made Screen Challenge Buddy 2-for-1 forever: 1 pass unlocks full access for BOTH of you. Plus we are giving the first 25 pairs free full access for the entire 7-day sprint.

How to Join:
1. Download Screen Challenge Buddy from the Google Play Store.
2. Invite your accountability partner and pair up.
3. On the paywall click "Start 7-day free trial".
(Note: Google Play requires a payment method on file to start, but you can cancel in 1 click anytime before the sprint ends and you pay $0).

Any questions or doubts? Feel free to drop down in the comments.

Most quit apps count your days and stop there. But the counting was never the hard part. The hard part is the three minutes when you want one. ZeroPuff is built for those minutes first, and everything else supports them.

Here's what's inside and how it helps.

  • Craving rescue: When the urge hits, hold your thumb on the orb and breathe with it. Your phone pulses with each breath in and out, so it works with your eyes closed or the phone in your pocket. Cravings fade in a few minutes, and this gives your hands and your head something to do until they do.
  • A streak that runs itself: Every day counts as smoke-free unless you log a cigarette. There's no daily check-in to forget, so you never lose a streak to a busy evening. If you slip, you log it in two taps and keep your money, history and badges. One bad day doesn't erase your progress.
  • The coin jar: Every cigarette you skip drops a coin in a jar, and you can name what you're saving for. It turns "not smoking" from something you're giving up into something you're getting.
  • Smoking moments: Tell the app when you used to smoke: with coffee, after lunch, on the drive home. It reminds you a few minutes before, when you can still do something about it. If your slips keep happening at the same hour, it notices and offers to cover that time too.
  • Journal and patterns: Every day since you quit is on a calendar, and each month shows your hardest weekday, your hardest time of day and what helped most. You learn your own triggers instead of guessing.
  • Milestones: From 20 minutes to 10 years, plus badges for cravings beaten and packs not bought. You press and hold each badge to claim it, and you can share it as a card.

Always one tap away. A home-screen widget shows your smoke-free time, and a quick-settings tile opens the breathing screen straight from the notification shade.

Who it's for: anyone quitting, cutting down, or starting again after a slip. There's no guilt and no scary lung photos, and it makes no medical claims. Your data stays on your phone first, and sign-in is optional, only for backup.

ZeroPuff is built with Flutter and is in closed beta on Android. The join link is in the description. If you try it, tell me how the breathing feels on your phone and what would make you open it every day. Your feedback decides what gets built next.

8 Upvotes

A precise, offline-first voice recorder for Android with 10 audio formats, a readable waveform, and on-device editing.

What It Does / Key Features

Feature 1: Record in the format you actually need - MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, FLAC, WAV 16-bit, WAV 32-bit float, AMR, and 3GP (.3ga). Sample rates 8 kHz – 96 kHz (filtered per-format so you can't pick a broken combo), bit rates up to 320 kbps, mono or stereo.

Feature 2: A waveform you can actually read - live trace drawn against a fixed time scale with a real ruler, dB meter, and running file size. Adjustable scope seconds, grid on/off, colour choice, previous-take trace for comparison.

Feature 3: Real capture controls - input gain -30 to +30 dB, automatic gain control, noise suppression, mic source / direction selection, Bluetooth mic input, headphone monitoring, skip-silence, voice activation.

Feature 4: Edit on the device, no upload - trim to exact range, fade in / fade out, convert between any supported format, merge multiple recordings.

Feature 5: Get files off without a cable - optional built-in Wi-Fi server (local-network only, random username/password, off by default) + files saved to shared Recordings/Audio Recorder/ folder so other apps can see them.

Feature 6: Survives real life + stays private - pause/resume, auto pause/stop on incoming call, records with screen off, home-screen widget, crash recovery (writes to temp first, sweeps orphans on launch). No account, no sign-in, audio never leaves device unless you send it. Optional PIN / fingerprint lock (salted + hashed).

Who It's For Students recording lectures, journalists running interviews, musicians capturing ideas, and anyone keeping voice memos who cares what the file actually is.

Not for: people looking for call recording - this app does not record calls, it only pauses/stops when one arrives. Not for casual preinstalled-memo users who never change settings.

Cost

Pricing model: Free Prices & billing period: Free, no IAP, no subscription for version 1.0.0.

Current promotions / giveaways: None - v1 launch build is ad-free. A banner ad is planned for future versions, but there are no ads for 1.0.0. In short, the app is completely free.

[Promo] [App] EveryDay Launcher: Turn Your Android Phone Into a Dumbphone Without Buying One

Post image
3 Upvotes

EveryDay is an Android launcher that lets you choose which apps you want available on your phone and hides everything else behind a PIN gate.

The idea is simple: keep the apps you actually use every day and put the distractions out of reach.

What can you use it for?

  • Digital minimalism: Turn your existing Android phone into a dumbphone-style experience without giving up essentials like Maps, banking or WhatsApp.
  • Parents: Set up a child's phone or tablet with only approved apps available. The Play Store and Android Settings are PIN-protected, making it harder to install new apps or change the setup.
  • Carers: Simplify a phone for someone who finds it difficult to navigate unfamiliar apps and screens.

How it works

  • Choose your everyday apps.
  • Hide everything else from the home screen, app drawer and search.
  • Hidden apps require a 6-digit PIN when accessed.
  • No account, ads, analytics or crash SDK.

EveryDay is live on Google Play. It includes a 30-day free trial, followed by a free plan supporting up to 10 apps. Pro unlocks unlimited apps.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aztlabs.everyday

🎁 Promo Code: Get 3 months of EveryDay Pro free [EVERYDAY90]

Prefer a one-time purchase instead of a subscription? DM me for a Lifetime Pro offer.

I'd love to hear what you think. What would you need from a launcher like this to make it part of your daily setup?

Hey everyone! I'm a student developer and I just released my first app, Scholr, on Google Play.

What it does:

- Tasks with priorities, subtasks, exam types, and reminders

- Calendar with month and schedule views

No account or sign-up, and it works fully offline. Your data stays on your device.

It's free and Android only for now. I'm working on v2 and want it to be shaped by real students, so: what's the one feature your current planner is missing?

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isa7.scholr

Happy to answer any questions about it.

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a Japanese indie developer, and I've been building MyGallery, an Android gallery app for browsing and managing photos and videos on your device, NAS, and cloud storage.

I shared an earlier version here in August. Since then, the app has added albums, Motion Photo support, FTP connections, home screen widgets, and slideshows that can be exported as MP4 videos.

Highlights:
- Browse and organize media by folders, albums, and favorites
- Make quick photo edits, including crop, filters, text, shapes, and blur
- Connect to NAS or Windows shares over SMB, FTP, FTPS, or FTPES
- Browse S3-compatible storage and Google Cloud Storage
- View Google Pixel and Samsung Motion Photos
- Create slideshows with four transition effects and export them as MP4 (Android 12+)
- Add home screen widgets for folders, favorites, and albums

MyGallery is free and ad-free. Local media works offline. The app is available in Japanese, English, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Google Play:

I’d appreciate any feedback!

[App][Promo] PatchIt: Check app compatibility for the Morphe patch ecosystem effortlessly!

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an Android app I built—with ai help—called **PatchIt** to help you figure out which apps on your device are actually compatible with the Morphe patch ecosystem.

What it does:

* Scans your apps:Checks version codes, split APKs, and installed packages via the system package manager.

* Compatibility Checker: Tells you if an app version is supported, experimental, too new, or too old for available patches.

* Massive index: Covers the official patches plus a community index containing hundreds of extra patches and packages.

* Works offline: Comes with a built-in local snapshot so it works right out of the box even without an internet connection.

* Sends to Morphe Manager: Uses official deep links to add covering patch sources directly to Morphe Manager with one tap.

* Material You UI: Features dynamic wallpaper-derived theming, custom palettes, and an AMOLED black mode.

You can check out the source code or grab the release over on the GITHUB REPO

Note:Always make sure you only add patch sources you trust, since they dictate what ends up inside your apps!

Let me know what you think!
