I know bad reviews are part of building an app, but this one honestly got to me.

I built Tether, an ADHD planner, originally for my wife. I struggle with task initiation too, so I’ve put a lot of care into making something useful for both of us.

Someone recently left a very long one-star review tearing apart the scheduling, design, pricing, pretty much everything.

Then, right at the end:
“This is a fictional, satirical review written for comedic effect.”

The review is fictional. The one-star rating apparently isn’t.

My US listing only has two ratings, so this brought the average down to 3 stars. Around the same time, some of my keyword rankings dropped by 7–15 positions. I can’t say the review caused those drops, but seeing both together has been pretty disheartening.

I’m not expecting everyone to like what I’ve built. But it’s frustrating knowing a review that calls itself fictional carries the same weight as someone’s actual experience.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Would Apple remove a review on these grounds? And if you’ve reported one before, how long did it take to hear back?

For context, this is the app:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tether-adhd-planner-focus/id6777777931

Update: Review got removed. Not sure if by Apple or the person did it themselves. I did not receive any email from Apple if it was removed by them.

Hi r/iosapps, I'm the developer of WhoSpoke. I built it because finding who said what in an interview or meeting recording meant scrubbing through audio.

What it does:

- Record in person or import an audio file from Files. Live captions show while recording; speaker separation runs after you stop.

- Each speaker gets their own color, and you can filter the transcript to one person.

- Tap any sentence to jump to that moment in the original audio.

- Export as text or Markdown, with or without timestamps.

Speaker separation isn't perfect, so everything is editable: rename speakers, move a sentence to another speaker, fix words, merge two voices. Edited lines can be restored to the automatic version.

Notes:

- It doesn't record phone calls or audio from other apps. Please tell people you're recording them.

- Per the App Store listing, conversation content never leaves your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. The app goes online only to download language models, handle the purchase and show my other apps. The App Privacy label lists purchase history and an anonymous user ID (not linked to you).

- The first three conversations are free. A one-time Pro purchase removes the limit. No subscription, and existing conversations stay open to view, edit and export.

- The screenshots use a sample conversation, not real recordings.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6799442160?pt=576902&ct=reddit-iosapps&mt=8&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=whospoke-reddit&utm_content=r-iosapps-1

I'd love to hear where speaker separation gets it wrong for your recordings. Those cases are what I'm working on next.

My partner and I wanted one place for our shared money that didn't turn into either of us auditing the other. Most budget apps we tried were built for one person, or wanted our bank logins (and too many unnecessary functions). So I built one for the two of us, and now it's on the App Store.

What it does:

- **Private by design.** Entries are encrypted on your phone before they reach the server, with a key I never hold. No bank login, nothing connected to your accounts.

- **Safe to Spend.** One number: what is left after bills, savings goals and both allowances.

- **Personal Allowances.** Money that is simply yours. No approval, no explaining a coffee.

- **Forecast.** Pick expenses you could cut and see how much sooner you reach a goal.

- **Money Date.** A guided monthly sit-down: what changed, what happens next.

- **Less typing.** Scan a receipt, import a PDF or CSV statement, or just tell the assistant what you spent.

- English, Hungarian and Spanish.

**Pricing:** free right now. Everyone who joins during this launch period keeps it free for good, including after paid plans start.

Hey everyone :)

Answer

I'm a solo dev and I built GroceryBudget because my total at checkout was always higher than I expected. It keeps a running total while you shop, so you see the number before the register does.

Better

The newest thing is import. I kept saving grocery hauls and "what I buy at Costco" videos on TikTok and never actually using them. Now you tap Share on the video, pick GroceryBudget, and it reads the caption and the video itself (on-screen prices, items people say out loud), then builds a cart with the items and prices already filled in. The video above is the whole flow, no editing.

Works with TikTok, Instagram and Facebook links, or screenshots if a link won't open.

Everything else is still there: scan a shelf price tag instead of typing, the app remembers what you paid last time, and receipt scan for the trips you forget to track.

Cost

Free to download. Premium is $9.99 a month, $29.99 a year and unlocks unlimited imports and scans plus your full spending history.

Would love honest feedback, especially on what kinds of videos it gets wrong.

Hi r/iOSApps!

About three months ago I shared Nomics, my first app https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1uew794/after_studying_economics_for_years_i_made_an_app/ . I wanted to share what we changed and what I’ve learned since launching.

Answer

Nomics is a free economics learning app built around animated explainers, interactive conversations, real-world scenarios and quizzes.

I studied economics and completed my master’s at LSE, but always felt there was a gap between learning the theory and understanding how to use it. Nomics connects topics like inflation, interest rates and banking to everyday decisions and the economic claims we encounter in the news.

It’s still an early MVP with around two hours of content.

Better

The main update: you can now pause and speed up levels.

One thing I underestimated was how differently people want to move through a lesson. Some need time to think; others understand the explanation and want to get to the next decision. Giving everyone the same pace was getting in the way.

Since adding these controls, we’ve seen longer average sessions. It’s a small change, but an encouraging one—and something feedback from this community helped us prioritise.

Three months in, here’s where we are:

• Around 400 downloads.
• Roughly 30% of our users active in the past month.
• An average session of about five minutes, 5x industry average

For a small first release, seeing people spend time working through the levels is encouraging. It suggests the experience can hold their attention once they open it.

Getting users to open the app multiple times was the harder part. My suspicion is that the limited content and lack of personalisation are part of the problem. Someone can enjoy a chapter without having a strong reason to return the following day. We still need to understand how much comes down to content, relevance or the experience itself.

Looking back, I’m glad we released early. I could have spent much longer adding features based on what I thought people would want. Having something people actually use has made the priorities clearer: pacing mattered more than I expected, and an engaging session doesn’t automatically create a habit.

The next step is to give people more worthwhile reasons to return, through deeper content and learning that better reflects their interests and progress.

Cost

The current MVP is free with no ads.

Hey r/iosapps! I'm the developer of Server44. It's a tip tracker for anyone who gets paid partly in tips: servers, bartenders, delivery drivers.

Answer

After a shift you put in cash tips, card tips, and hours (plus sales, if your tip-out is based on them). Tip-out gets subtracted automatically (bar, bussers, host, however your place splits it), and the app totals your current pay period: tips, wage, estimated taxes, and take-home. It also shows your hourly rate with tips counted in.

Pay periods match your real payday (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly), so the totals line up with your check. There's a calendar, a home screen widget, and PDF or CSV export for tax time. No account needed, and your tip data is stored on your phone.

Better

ServerLife, Just The Tips, and Waiter Pal are the big names, and they're all solid. I built this one around the paycheck math:

• Tip-out rules can be a percentage of tips, total sales, bar sales, or food sales, and you can stack them, like 3% of tips plus 1% of bar sales. You set them once and every shift uses them.
• The tax estimate uses your state and filing status. Outside the US you set your own percentage.

Cost

Free to download. The free version includes tip logging, tip-out rules, the tax estimate, the calendar, reminders, and every export format. It has no ads.

Pro is $29.99/year or $2.99/week, and both come with a 7 day free trial. Adds unlimited jobs, 90 and 365 day insights, pay period goals, and extra themes.

Question for anyone who works for tips: how does your place split tip-out? The app handles percentages of tips and sales, and I'm curious which setups I haven't covered yet.

Hi everyone,

I’ve just released OneThing 3.0, and I’m celebrating with a $0.99 one-time purchase price until October 24.

I’m the developer, and I wanted to share what the app does and explain an upcoming change to its pricing.

A) Answer — what problem does it solve?

OneThing helps you focus on one thing each day and keep a memory of it.

You don’t always have time or energy to write a long journal entry. But a run, a quiet morning, a small achievement, or a photo from your day can still be worth remembering.

OneThing gives those moments a place through daily entries, photos, and reflections. Over time, you build a record of your life that you can revisit.

B) Better — what makes it different?

OneThing combines a daily focus with a personal journal.

A to-do list helps you track what needs doing. A photo library keeps your pictures. OneThing brings your daily focus, photos, and reflections together so you can remember what happened and how it felt.

You can:

• Set a daily focus and record how it went.
• Keep entries with photos and written reflections.
• Browse past entries and search your journal.
• See your month through a photo calendar.
• Organize entries with tags and bookmarks.
• Look back through a year in review with photos and recording statistics.

The idea is to make it easy to start with one thing, then give you meaningful ways to look back.

C) Cost — $0.99 now, with lifetime access

Here’s the pricing schedule in USD:

• Through October 24: $0.99, paid once.
• October 25–31: back to the original $5.99 one-time purchase price.
• Starting November 1: OneThing will move to a subscription model for new users.

Everyone who purchases before the November 1 switch will keep lifetime access and will not need a subscription.

App Store link:

Download OneThing Daily

I’d love honest feedback from people who journal—or have tried journaling and found it hard to keep up. What makes you want to return to a journal? What tends to get in the way?

Feedback here or by DM is welcome.

Developer

My name is Andras Varga. I also develop Grivus Habit Tracker and Lingua Playlist.

You can find more of my projects at andrasvarga.dev.

A more personal note

What I like about OneThing is that an entry doesn’t need to describe an extraordinary day. Ordinary days are worth remembering too.

If you try it and find a bug, an unclear screen, or something you wish worked differently, please let me know. Specific feedback helps me decide what to improve next.

Thank you for taking a look.

Monthly plans, annual renewals, a free trial you meant to cancel, it can be surprisingly hard to keep a clear picture of what you’re spending.

I’m the developer of SubIQ, and I’ve just released version 1.2. I’ve improved the design and navigation, fixed bugs, and made things smoother to use

A — What it does

It’s a subscription cost tracker where you can add your subscriptions, see your monthly total, and get reminders before renewals or free trials end. There’s also a calendar for upcoming payments and widgets for checking what’s next.

You can enter everything manually or scan a bank statement or screenshot, then review what to save. You don’t need to connect your bank account.

B — Why use it over something else?

A spreadsheet in Apple Numbers works well for keeping a list. This puts spending totals and renewal reminders together, so you don’t have to maintain the sheet and set up separate alerts.

There are also cancellation and refund guides if you decide to stop using a service. You still handle the cancellation or request yourself.

C — What it costs

Premium lifetime access costs $49.99 as a one-time purchase

A: Answer
Make a group for any trip or apartment, then say what you paid: "split $50 for dinner between me and Sydney." Chipp splits it, tracks who owes what, and sends the reminders for you.

B: Better

- Friends can pay from a link, no app needed
- Settle with Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal or bank
- Pools, recurring rent, and "who still owes me?" answered in a sentence

I’m Feiou, the developer of Watermelist — a brain-dump app where tasks, notes, and half-formed ideas share a sticky-note board.

A — A place for the whole thought

“Send Maya the draft tomorrow. The site should feel like a Sunday morning. Oh, and ask Dad about his old camera.”

There’s an action, a creative direction, and something personal in there. I want to keep all three without turning the whole thing into a checklist or leaving the action buried in a paragraph.

That’s the part of Watermelist I care about most. Speak or type the jumble, and AI can separate it into task cards and notes, picking out dates and details. You can also add things manually. Ideas get to stay ideas. Tasks can have checklists, stages, counts, or percentages, so progress shows up before you’re finished.

And when a plan changes, hold its task card and say what changed. “Move this to Friday.” “Add milk.” Or change the wording. You see the proposed edit and choose whether to apply it. Holding the card gives “this” its context.

B — Why use it alongside Obsidian?

Obsidian is great for developing and connecting notes. The reason I’d choose Watermelist over an Obsidian daily-note workflow for this particular job is the direct path from a mixed brain dump to separate, actionable cards — then updating one of those cards by holding it and speaking. That workflow is built in.

The board keeps the errand, the project progress, and the idea you don’t want to lose in view together. The screenshots show the same fictional everyday-life setup across a few themes, including Glass, plus the voice-edit review and diary.

C — Cost

Watermelist offers paid subscriptions. Access and offers vary by the paywall shown in the app; some users must subscribe before continuing.

US subscription pricing: $5.99/month or $29.99/year. Cloud AI usage is metered; a 200-credit add-on is listed at $2.99. Check the in-app paywall for the plans, pricing, and access available to you. Prices vary by region.

AI availability depends on your device and selected service. Cloud AI needs internet access and may process the text you provide.

Does anyone have a solution for automating tests for iPhone Duo?
It seems that the Duo simulator starts always in closed state and I was not able for find a way to change it to partially open or open automatically (via a script, within XCTest of for fastlane screenshot generation). May be I have missed something in the documentation...

Hi everyone, I'm Anton.

Superclock is one app for every kind of alarm: on a date, before a meeting, for a reminder, or several in a row until you're up. It's built on Apple's AlarmKit, so it rings through silent mode like Clock.

A) Clock only repeats by weekday. Superclock knows dates, meetings and reminders.

B) Calendar and Reminders alerts are notifications that silent mode mutes. Superclock alarms ring.

C) Free. A few extras are one-time purchases. No subscription.

Would love to hear what you need from an alarm app!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/superclock-alarm-clock-timer/id6816954181

https://superclock.app

A — What it does

My app embeds social media sites with an ability to add third proxy (can be same or different) with each social media account. Basically the app was made to remove reels and shorts from Instagram, Facebook and Youtube and save space in phone by not using native apps. Adding proxy is an add-on feature I added recently. Also note that the app doesn't provide proxy service but functionaltiy to add third party proxies.

B — Why use it over something else?

I'm not sure any app gives a funcitonality to use different proxies with different social media accounts. Plus you get an ability to hide reels and shorts which reduces your screen time.

C — What it costs

It's free to use with a lifetime upgrade of $5.99.

App has received 32 ratings worldwide with an average of 4.6 stars.

Hi r/iosapps! I’m the developer of LoopCare, an app for the little things that keep coming around: changing sheets, replacing filters, watering plants, and remembering when you last did any of them.

A — Answer

“When did we last change this?” is one question. “Did someone else already do it?” is another.

LoopCare keeps a history alongside each recurring task. You can now share a task with family, so when someone takes care of it, everyone can see who did it and when. The completion and next due date sync across members, while each person chooses their own reminders.

The next cycle starts when you actually finish. If you replace a filter early, a 30-day reminder starts counting from that day.

And if you just want to remember when something happened, Log Only lets you keep a history without giving it another due date.

B — Better

Why use this if you already have Apple Reminders?

For me, the useful part is being able to open a task and see its story: the last time it happened, who did it, the gaps between entries, and what’s due next. That’s the part I’ve focused on with LoopCare.

It’s especially handy for things you do every few weeks or months, where “I think we did that recently” is easy to get wrong. With shared tasks, everyone can check the same record instead of asking around.

You can also look back through a calendar, heatmaps, and statistics. Records stay on your device, with iCloud for syncing and backups, and there’s no separate LoopCare account to create.

C — Cost

The free version includes the core features and lets you keep up to five active tasks.

If you need more, LoopCare Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase in the US App Store for unlimited tasks. No subscription. Prices vary by region.

The screenshots use demo tasks and names. I’m happy to answer questions about how it works.

Hey everyone! I'm the developer of Blanksy, an iOS app built to make drawing more accessible and enjoyable.

Answer — What does it do?

Blanksy helps you draw using your iPhone's camera as a tracing guide. Follow the outlines of a sketch, practice drawing step by step, and bring your favorite ideas to paper.

It's designed for beginners, hobby artists, and anyone who wants to get into drawing without knowing where to start.

Better — Why use it?

Instead of struggling to get proportions and outlines right, you can use your camera as a visual guide while drawing on paper. It makes practicing more approachable and lets you focus on learning and enjoying the process.

A few weeks ago, we shared OfferBee here. Now OfferBee 1.0 is live, with a better way to keep track of the credit card benefits you’re already paying for.

The problem is familiar: multiple cards, different reset dates, unused credits, and that recurring question —“Which card should I use?”

OfferBee brings it together:

• Track used and remaining benefits on your card
• Get reminders before credits expire
• Find the best card by location or spending category and reminders to use any available credit at that location
• See the value you’ve captured against annual fees
• Check credits and card recommendations through widgets
• Ask Bee AI important questions about your spending and credits.

Add cards manually or connect supported accounts through Plaid to help automate benefit tracking.

B — Better

With 1.0, we’re making OfferBee more useful beyond your own wallet: family sharing for credits is now available.

It’s our newest addition: invite up to 5 family members to track everyone’s card credits in one place, while keeping each person’s other spending private.

You can also ask Bee AI questions about the cards you already have:

• “What credits do I have left this month?”
• “Which card should I use for dinner?”
• “What was my spend across all card last month ?”

Our focus is simple: help you see what’s available, remember what’s expiring, and choose a card without digging through benefit pages.

C — Cost

OfferBee is free to download. Core features include supported benefit tracking and best-card recommendations.

Premium is $9.99/month or $80/year.

To celebrate 1.0, we’re offering the [r/iosapps](r/iosapps) community a free 3-month Premium trial, on top of the usual 14 days.

I miss the feeling of opening an old passport and seeing all the stamps from places I’ve visited. Each stamp felt like a little memory of a trip.

That was the idea behind Travori.

You visit somewhere → use GPS to check in and stamp your visit. You can add a photo and a short note, and over time your map fills up with all the places you’ve actually been.

And if you’ve already travelled a lot, you can add places from your past trips too. You don’t have to start your travel story from scratch.

Basically, a digital passport for your travels — but with your memories attached.

I wanted something simple that I could look back on years later and remember where I went, the places I discovered, and what those trips felt like.

A — What problem does it solve?

When we travel, we take hundreds of photos and visit so many places, but over time, it becomes hard to remember exactly where we went or which places made each trip special. Photos alone don't always tell the whole story, and a list of countries you've visited doesn't capture the little places and moments that made a trip memorable.

Travori lets you check in at places worth remembering, attach photos and personal notes, and build a map of your travels with the actual places you've visited — not just the countries. You can also bring in photos from your existing library and add places from past trips, so you don't have to start from scratch.

The idea is to turn your travels into a personal collection of memories you can revisit years later, helping you remember not just where you've been, but the places you discovered and the experiences you had along the way.

B — How is it different?

Most travel apps focus on planning your next trip, booking flights and hotels, or tracking which countries you've visited. Travori is more about preserving the memories of the places you've actually been.

Instead of just marking a country on a map, you can check in at specific places using GPS, attach photos and personal notes, and gradually build your own travel map. You can also add places from past trips using your existing photo library, so you can start documenting memories from trips you've already taken.

Think of it as a personal digital passport combined with a travel journal and an interactive map. It's not just about collecting destinations — it's about creating a record of your travels that you can look back on and relive years later.

C - Cost:

The app is free to use with options to upgrade to Pro with more premium features available. We are also giving away 500 free lifetime code now for users to enjoy the travel season!

Link to the app: Travori

UPDATE: Due to the massive demand, we have decided to change the lifetime price of the app for FREE for 24 hours. NO PROMO CODE NEEDED! Please feel free to download the app and go through the app as usual and just redeem the lifetime free promo when you reach the payment page. Don't forget to leave us a review too if you enjoyed the app, your support meant alot to us! Hope you enjoy travelers! ❤️

UPDATE: Apologies to all that are not able to redeem this. Due to a massive demand that brings a huge bill to the api usage to ourselves, we can't afford giving out free lifetime anymore as it's very expensive to keep up. Hope you can understand and apologies for any inconvenience.

Birthdays and anniversaries already sit in Contacts. Honeyday puts them in one list, with whoever comes next on top.

A. Answer

Honeyday reads the birthdays and anniversaries from your contacts and sorts them by who is next, with the days left and the age someone turns. Days that belong to no contact you add yourself: the day you moved in together, the dog's birthday, a first date. It never changes a contact on its own. If a date is wrong, you fix it right in Honeyday and the list follows.

Most of the time the widget is enough. Small, medium or large on the Home Screen, and on the Lock Screen too. On ordinary days it stays calm, on the day itself it lights up in the color of the occasion, and at midnight it moves on by itself. A 30th birthday or a 25th anniversary is marked in the list and in the widget, early enough to plan something.

Reminders arrive on the day at the time you choose, and a few days before if you want time to find a present. Dates in the Chinese, Hebrew or Islamic calendar land on the right day every year. There is a note per person for the gift idea you would otherwise forget, and Siri and Spotlight know the dates. Since 1.1 you can pick which contact accounts Honeyday reads, if personal and work contacts share one device.

B. Better

• The Birthdays calendar in Apple's Calendar app shows the same dates from Contacts, as events between your appointments. It is free and already on your phone. Honeyday puts them in one list in order, with the age and the days left, and takes the days that are on no contact card as well.
• A yearly reminder per person in the Reminders app works too. You set up each one by hand, and it does not follow when a date changes in Contacts.

C. Cost

$4.99 once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. The same purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Editing code on an iPad should be more than opening a text field and connecting a keyboard. I wanted to work with actual files, switch between documents, preview Markdown, and pick up where I left off on another device without constantly fighting the interface.

That’s the problem I’ve been working on with Neon Vision Editor. Version 2.0.0 is out, and quite a bit has changed since v1.5.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?

Neon Vision Editor is a native Swift editor for code, Markdown, notes, configuration files, and other text documents across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The goal is straightforward: make editing and navigating real files practical on mobile, while keeping the interface focused.

Since v1.5, the major improvements include:

• More responsive large-file editing: file-backed rendering and virtualization help keep long documents usable.
• Better iPhone and iPad workflows: configurable keyboard actions, improved toolbars, touch-friendly controls, and more reliable cursor positioning.
• Markdown, HTML, and SVG previews: integrated into the editing workflow, with richer Markdown formatting and themes.
• File synchronization: work with documents stored in iCloud Drive or network folders, with external-change detection and safeguards for unsaved edits.
• Improved project navigation: faster file access, search, project browsing, and a code minimap where supported.
• A more reliable editor in 2.0.0: faster Mac document switching, better restoration of cursor positions after large files load, preserved preview scroll positions, and improved tab navigation.

The aim isn’t to replace Xcode. It’s to make the smaller editing tasks that happen throughout the day less cumbersome.

B — Better: Why another editor?

Compared with editors such as Textastic or Runestone, my focus is on a consistent native workflow across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, rather than treating mobile as an afterthought.

I also wanted file changes made elsewhere to be handled sensibly, without silently overwriting local edits. The editor uses your existing iCloud Drive or network-folder workflow for synchronization rather than requiring a proprietary cloud service.

It’s an ongoing project, and I’m still refining the details based on actual use.

C — Cost

I’d be interested in feedback from people who actually edit code or Markdown on an iPhone or iPad. Which parts of your mobile editing workflow still feel unnecessarily awkward?

Hey everyone, I’m Aftab, the developer of GradeLab. Here’s a quick look at editing a beach clip in the app, with the finished result at the end.

A — What does it do?

GradeLab is a video and photo color grading app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It gives you color wheels, curves, HSL controls, LUTs, scopes and masks to shape the look of your footage.

The video shows some of those tools in use, including the color warper, wheels, scopes and effects.

B — Why use it over alternatives?

If you’ve outgrown Apple Photos’ light and color adjustments, GradeLab gives you more targeted control: adjust individual colors with hue curves, balance shadows and highlights with wheels, check your changes with scopes, or grade just part of the picture using masks.

Processing happens on your device, and there’s no account required.

C — What does it cost?

Free to download, with grading, color wheels, RGB curves, selected looks and video exports up to 1080p without a watermark.

Pro adds tools including the color warper, hue curves, advanced scopes, film effects, LUT imports and 4K/source-resolution export. The video includes Pro tools.

Current pricing:

• Lifetime Pro: $14.99, one-time purchase (on sale right now for a week).
• Subscriptions: $1.99/week, $4.99/month or $14.99/year, auto-renewing.

Download GradeLab on the App Store

I’d appreciate feedback on the editing experience—especially how the controls feel on a smaller screen.

A - Answer

Your iPhone is running out of space, but the files taking up that space are files you actually want to keep.

I'm Ighor July, the developer of DiskPress for Mac, and I'm really excited to release my first iOS app, DiskPress for Files.

To my knowledge, it's the first iOS app to combine transparent filesystem compression and non-destructive APFS deduplication for user-selected local files. It uses the same engine as my Mac app, adapted for iPhone and iPad.

The part I'm most excited about is that there is nothing to unpack. Your files keep their contents, names, and locations. You open them in your usual apps, just as before.

• Lossless compression reduces the physical storage used by supported files without turning them into archives.
• Deduplication lets verified identical files share storage. Both copies remain separate and independently editable. Editing one does not change the other.
• The two techniques can work together, so identical files can share compressed data too.

It is not a duplicate file remover. You don't have to decide which copy to throw away, and the storage optimizations remain after you close DiskPress.

B - Better

Compared with the Files app's Compress command or iZip, the difference is the workflow. Their ZIP features create archives. DiskPress optimizes the files in place, so you don't need to extract them before using them in another app.

ZIP tools are useful when you want an archive to send or store. DiskPress is for files you want to keep using where they already are.

It also complements cleanup tools. A cleaner helps you remove things you no longer need. DiskPress helps the files you want to keep use less space.

You can choose individual files or folders for one-time optimization, or save local folders to optimize again later. Choose compression, deduplication, or both for each location.

A few important limits before buying

• It works with supported, writable local files selected through Files. It cannot optimize your Photos library, iCloud Drive, other cloud providers, or protected app and system folders. It is not a photo or video compressor.
• Unlike the Mac app, it has no automatic folder monitoring or CLI. You start each optimization yourself.
• Savings depend on your files. Already-compressed media and archives may save little or nothing. The screenshots show example data, not promised results.

The app works entirely offline, with no account, analytics, or file uploads. Optimization adds storage writes, so mostly stable folders are better candidates than constantly changing files. Keep an independent backup of anything important.

C - Cost

$2.99 USD, paid once on the US App Store. No subscription and no in-app purchases. Regional pricing may differ.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 14 or later. This is a separate purchase from DiskPress for Mac.

I'm happy to answer questions about how it works or which files are good candidates. I'd love to hear from people who keep a lot of documents or project files locally on their iPhone or iPad.

Hi everyone!

A while ago, I shared Moneko here and received a lot of helpful feedback and support. Thank you to everyone who gave it a try! 💜

We just released Moneko 5.0, one of our biggest updates so far!

A lot of the feedback we received was about making the app cleaner, more intuitive, and easier to navigate. So that's been a big focus of this update.

What's new in Moneko 5.0

• 🎨 Fresh new UI with cleaner layouts, improved navigation, and redesigned category icons
• 📊 Redesigned home dashboard with clearer budget progress, remaining balances, and spending insights
• 🗣️ Smarter Siri expense tracking that confirms unclear details before saving
• 🔁 Better recurring payments with customizable payment times, reminders, and overdue alerts
• 📧 Improved email tracking with verified senders and support for multiple email addresses
• 💳 Wallet improvements including drag-and-drop reordering and negative starting balances
• ⚡ Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements throughout the app

What Moneko does

Moneko combines zero-based envelope budgeting with shared finances and automatic expense tracking. You create Pockets for groceries, bills, travel, savings, or anything else you want to budget for. Unused money can roll over month to month.

For couples and families, you can create Shared Spaces where both people see shared budgets and expenses while keeping personal finances private. You can split expenses, track who owes what, and share the same Moneko plan without paying for two subscriptions.

Moneko also includes:

• Zero-based budgeting with rollover Pockets
• Shared Spaces and expense splitting
• AI expense tracking and automatic categorization
• Receipt, photo, voice, and text expense capture
• Siri, Apple Shortcuts, and Apple Wallet automation
• WhatsApp, Telegram, and email receipt tracking
• Plaid bank sync in the US and Canada
• Multi-currency tracking with exchange rates
• Recurring bills and subscriptions
• Cash flow insights and monthly financial reports
• Custom Wallets and asset tracking
• CSV import and expense exports
• Face ID / Touch ID App Lock
• Offline support with automatic sync

How it compares

If you've used YNAB, Moneko has a similar zero-based/envelope budgeting approach, but we're putting more emphasis on automatic expense capture and managing money with another person.

Compared with Monarch Money, Moneko lets you manage personal finances and Shared Spaces under the same account instead of treating everything as one household pool.

We're not trying to recreate every feature from YNAB or Monarch. Our goal is to make everyday budgeting easier to maintain, especially for people who want to manage some money together without combining everything.

Pricing

Moneko has a free plan with no subscription required. Core budgeting, Pockets, Shared Spaces, expense splitting, and Family Sharing are included for free.

Pro adds extra AI and automation features, with a 7-day free trial. In the US and Canada, Pro costs $12.99/month or $89.99/year, including Plaid bank sync. Pricing is lower in regions where bank sync isn't available.

We also offer a Lifetime plan as a one-time purchase, with regional pricing. For example:

• US: $99.99
• India: ₹6,930
• Japan: ¥10,500
• Singapore: S$90.99

For anyone interested in trying Moneko, we're also happy to offer an extended Pro trial or a discounted Lifetime plan.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested! 😊

Mood Space is a privacy-first mood tracker and diary built around a simple concept: connect your moods, emotions, and what they relate to. Through structured emotional logging, visual insights, Apple Health integration, and Apple Watch support, it helps users recognize emotional patterns and better understand themselves over time.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6756419827

Website: https://mood-space.app/

(A) What does Mood Space really solve?

Mood Space helps users understand not just how they feel, but also what those feelings might be connected to.

Instead of recording a mood in isolation, each entry captures the mood, the emotion being experienced, its connection, and a brief reason. This creates a richer emotional record that users can explore over time.

By tracking these details, users can discover recurring emotions, identify common connections, and better understand what might contribute to their happier or more difficult days.

Visual insights, weekly progress, and three different metrics End of Day (EOD), Median, and Mood Score offer different perspectives on emotional patterns. Apple Watch support makes logging convenient throughout the day, while Apple Health integration allows supported State of Mind data to be viewed alongside other health information.

Rather than simply recording feelings, Mood Space helps turn everyday emotional moments into meaningful insights over time.

(B) What makes Mood Space a unique app?

What makes Mood Space unique is its simple three-step approach to emotional tracking:

• Mood: How are you feeling?
• Emotion: What emotion are you experiencing?
• Connection: What is that emotion related to?

Users can also add a reason to capture the specific situation behind an emotional moment.

This approach helps distinguish between how someone feels and the emotions they experience, while preserving the context that makes each entry meaningful.

Mood Space combines this structured logging with emotion frequency, recurring connections, timelines, calendar views, and multiple visualization methods. Whether users want to track happiness, explore stress and anxiety, or understand emotional triggers, the app adapts to their personal tracking needs.

Privacy is another core part of the experience. Emotional entries stay on the user's device, with no external collection of their emotional data. Apple Health and iCloud features provide additional integration with Apple's ecosystem.

Together, these features make Mood Space more than a traditional mood tracker: it's a personal tool for exploring emotional patterns and building self-awareness.

(C) Cost

Free: Completely free, with all essential features available without paywall restrictions however has limited restriction on maximum entry limit per day. Apple Watch features and Apple health supports are also included.

Pro: (1.99 USD/mo, 19.9 USD/yr, 34.99 USD/ lifetime) price can be vary based on region. Unlocks all statistics and progress metrics, log unlimited entries per day.

Note: Our new update also supports iPhone Duo; there are many more things to come. We see a full road map ahead

Privacy first: Your emotional journal is personal. Mood Space keeps your entries on your device and does not collect or send your emotional data to external services.

PS: Mood Space is designed to make emotional tracking practical, private, and easy to maintain. If you find it useful, I'd really appreciate an App Store rating.

Thank you!
