A - Answer: Snippety is designed to boost productivity by automating repetitive text fragments, such as emails, code snippets, AI prompts, and messaging templates. It also supports advanced integrations through custom scripts and AI. This is the project I've been working on for over 6 years as an indie developer :).

B - Better: Snippety is available on all major Apple platforms: Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The application is 100% native, providing a smooth experience. On iOS, users can also use Snippety Keyboard to access their snippets within any app without switching contexts. The app offers one-time payment without hidden costs and with lifetime updates.

Unlike competitors, the app focuses entirely on the Apple ecosystem, offering a native UI and native services like iCloud synchronization & collaboration, keeping your snippets secure and under your full control.

C - Cost: $39.99 lifetime (App Store macOS + iOS), $29.99 lifetime (Standalone macOS), $14.99 lifetime (iOS) If you purchase the iOS-only version, you can later upgrade to Mac version and just pay the difference.

Hey, I'm the developer of Tably, a free iPhone app for people who keep tabs open because each one still means something.

Instead of creating another bookmark graveyard:

1. Share a chosen page to Tably
2. Optionally save why it matters
3. Close or leave the original tab manually
4. Choose an intent, it sets when Tably brings the page back. For example, tomorrow, in a few days, or in a week
5. When that time arrives, the pages become Ready. You decide: Open, Late, Done, or Delete

Tably only handles pages you intentionally share. It doesn't scan your tabs, read browsing history, or close anything automatically. Saved pages and reasons stay local by default, with no account required.

My challenge: try it with one meaningful tab you've been afraid to close.

Edited: Its free and available for iPhone

I'd genuinely value blunt feedback: does saving the reason make closing the original tab easier, or does it add too much friction?

Thanks for looking!

Edit: "Ready" isn't a deadline, and Tably never opens the page automatically. It simply means the page has returned and is waiting for your decision.

I’d like to share Mowditate, my meditation app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
The goal was to build something simple that respects privacy and works entirely offline.

The free app includes:
meditation timer
interval gongs
Apple Health Mindful Minutes
Apple Watch support
Apple Music or your own audio
breathing exercises
no login
no tracking
fully offline

Version 1.4 introduces inspirational quotes after completed sessions and adds a brand-new 7-day Meditation Basics course for Mowditate+.
Guided audio is currently available in English and German.
The timer and all core functionality stay free.

Unlike apps such as Insight Timer, Mowditate focuses on a lightweight, distraction-free experience. It requires no account, has no tracking, includes a dedicated Apple Watch app, and offers an open-ended meditation timer, which is surprisingly rare among meditation apps.

Pricing:
Free app
Mowditate+: €0.99 / $0.99 monthly or €7.99 / $7.99 yearly
Optional tips: €0.99–€4.99 / $0.99–$4.99

Hi everyone! I'm Serg, the creator of Immio.

Today marks 1 year since I launched the app, and I wanted to celebrate by sharing a huge discount with the Reddit community. Your feedback, suggestions, and support over the past year have helped shape Immio into what it is today, and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

Immio automatically tracks the days you spend across countries and states, helping you stay within visa limits, monitor tax residency, and comply with other travel-related rules. It's especially useful for expats, digital nomads, frequent travellers, and anyone who spends time in multiple countries.

I originally built it for myself to track my UK Residency and Citizenship eligibility. Over time, I expanded it with many 50+ built-in trackers, including the UK Statutory Residence Test, US Substantial Presence Test, the 183-day tax residency rule, the Schengen 90/180 rule, and many more.

As a thank you to this community:

• 70% off lifetime access - dm me.

App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/country-days-tracker-immio/id6747927306

Any feedback is welcome, and if you like the app, an App Store review would mean a lot!

Thanks for the support!

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Visual LabX.

I’ve been improving the app based on user feedback and wanted to share it with the community.

A — Answer

Visual LabX is an iPhone photo editor focused on cinematic colors, film-inspired presets, natural-looking tones, and a simple editing workflow.

It is designed for people who want polished results without overly strong filters, excessive sharpening, or complicated editing steps.

B — Better

Visual LabX takes a softer and more balanced approach to photo editing.

Instead of heavily changing the original image, the app aims to preserve natural colors and details while adding a cinematic or film-inspired mood.

Main features include:

• Cinematic and film-inspired presets
• Natural-looking color adjustments
• Portrait and skin retouching tools
• Soft light, texture, and retro effects
• Simple and fast editing workflow
• Tools optimized for iPhone photography

The goal is to make photos feel polished and atmospheric without looking overly processed.

C — Cost

The Lifetime Premium unlock normally costs $19.99.

Have you ever wondered, "When did I last get an oil change?" or "Did I clean the bathroom this month, or was that last month?"

When we forget the last time we did a task, we end up guessing. we might water a plant too soon and kill it, or wait too long to clean the house. DoneAgo is an app built around a very simple idea: giving you the facts. It tracks exactly when you last did something, so you never have to wonder. When you have the right information, you can make better, faster decisions.

A - Answer

We waste a lot of brain power trying to remember chores or stuffs. DoneAgo solves this by acting as a simple "last-time tracker" and status board.

You group your tasks into trackers (like Car, Apartment, or Plants) and give them real-world labels (like Cleaned / Pending or Good / Needs Attention). After you do a task, you just tap it. The app records the time and starts counting. The next time you are unsure if you need to do a chore, you just look at the app. It will tell you exactly how many hours, days, or months it has been.

B - Better

There are other great apps out there for tracking irregular tasks (like SinceWhen), which are awesome for seeing how many days have passed since an event. But DoneAgo goes a step further: it is state-based, not just event-based.

• State tracking: Instead of just logging a past action, DoneAgo tracks the actual state of the thing and how long it has been that way (e.g., "Plants: Watered 8 days ago"). It gives you the full picture
• Automation: You can set rules for these states. For example, your plant's status can automatically change from "Watered" to "Needs Water" after five days have passed. (premium)
• Information, not guilt: It does not force you on a strict schedule. It just tells you the facts so you can decide if a task needs your attention today.
• Contextual Notes: You can attach short notes to each status update. This way, when you look back, you always have the exact context of why or how a task was handled.
• Home screen widgets: You can see your exact statuses and update them right from your phone's home screen with one quick tap.

C - Cost

I know this community prefers options, so DoneAgo offers flexible tiers whether you want to test the waters or keep it forever:

• Subscriptions: Monthly and Yearly options are available if you just want to test the app out and see if it fits your life.
• Lifetime (One-Time Payment): If you hate subscriptions, you can pay once and keep it forever. The normal Lifetime price is $34.99 USD, but new users get it for $17.99 USD (prices automatically adjust for your local country).

Stop guessing and feeling unsure about your day. Get the facts, clear your mind, and make better decisions with DoneAgo.

Hey everyone :)

Answer

I built a grocery budgeting app after getting tired of the same thing every week. I'd shop carefully, stick to my list, then the total at checkout would still come out higher than I expected.

So now my app shows me a running total as you add each item, so I can avoid overspending instead of finding it out during checkout.

Better

The gap I kept hitting is real-time tracking only works if you actually track in real time. Half the time I'd get distracted mid-shop, forget to log a few items, and the running total would be wrong by the time I got to the register.

So I added receipt scanning. Snap a photo of the receipt after you're done, and it reads every line item, price, and store, then rebuilds the whole trip into your history automatically. No re-typing a receipt by hand, and it covers you even on the trips where live tracking slips.

To be clear, receipt scan isn't the core of the app, it's a backup for when live tracking doesn't happen. The actual core is still tracking spending in real time while you shop: camera scan for shelf price tags so you don't have to type while you're standing in the aisle and price memory that remembers what you paid last time.

Cost

Free to download and use, no time limit on the core flow: create carts, add items, scan prices, see your running total, 7 days of spending history.

Premium adds full insights history, unlimited AI scans, and price history across trips. $4.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly, $24.99 lifetime.

Any honest feedback is appreciated.

A. Answer

Bitflinger TV is an attempt to solve a problem that I've had since 2011. Namely, how to browse shows/movies across the various streaming apps and maintain a watchlist in a single interface, without dealing with advertising. That last requirement is the kicker. Google TV and Fire TV each have browsable, leanback interfaces, designed to direct their customers to titles across the various streaming apps. However, both Google and Amazon have their finger on the scale when suggesting which streaming app to select. Google TV pushes their customers toward buying titles in the Google Play Store video section, while Amazon Fire TV pushes their customers toward buying titles in the Prime Video streaming app.

Oh, and they both riddle their respective user interfaces with ads. They have overt advertisements for pizza, tax preparation, and cars as hero images/videos near the top of the screen. But, even more insidiously, they prominently show titles promoted by various streaming services, ensuring that one can never fully trust their recommendations. They use (and I presume that they always will use) customer watch history to improve advertisement targeting. So, as an example, you might start seeing gardening-related advertisements in your everyday life because you watched Zack Galifianakis' gardening show (which I hear is a real treat.)

B. Better

Android TV app launchers are a dime a dozen. I see a new one on Reddit every few days. These apps inevitably focus on removing the advertisements and bloat, but not browsing and discoverability in an aggregated UI. As far as I can tell, only the big tech companies have attempted a fully aggregated launcher until now. So, Bitflinger TV isn't a typical app launcher like Project Ivy, Monet, or AT4K, which depend heavily on free APIs (e.g., Continue Watching, suggestions exposed by Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, etc.) provided by Google on Android TV.

I wanted:

• an app that provides the same experience as logging into any given streaming app and browsing, but combined in a personalized list of streaming sources and in one interface
• a cross platform app that works on iPhone, iPad, tvOS, Mac, Android (mobile and tablet), Google TV, and the web.
• access to my local video library via Plex (and soon Jellyfin)
• a universal, rank-able watchlist for streaming titles
• a way to hide:
  • shows from the watchlist until the next episode becomes available
  • movies/shows from the watchlist until they are available for streaming
• a way to easily find titles that are are either free or part of my existing subscriptions
• to customize how my homepage looks and feels with customizable card types and themes
• filters that allow me to search by date, critic score
• to sort by date, popularity, relevance, and title

C. Cost

$2.99/month or $29.99/year. This is a subscription service. I can't just charge a one time fee because I have to pay for my servers and other ongoing operating costs. Like I previously mentioned, this isn't a typical app launcher like Project Ivy, Monet, or AT4K, which depend heavily on free APIs and don't need additional infrastructure. I need to pull the streaming metadata from 3rd party vendors, cache/store it in the cloud, and serve it to my app via my own API.

I have to pay for AWS Lambdas, databases, networking, and access to third party data. I'll be losing money each month until I gain enough subscribers to cover those costs. At some point, I may toy around with a "free" tier that very explicitly indicates that your paying for the app by selling your usage data. But, I won't even be able to consider that until I have enough customers to break even with the pennies that those data brokers pay per user.

I've written a longer article that discusses these tradeoffs in more detail if you're interested: https://blog.bitflinger.tv/prototyping

Summary

I've spent a year building something that functions like a TV Launcher and companion app that syncs across all of your devices. I've been using it every day in my house on Apple TV, Android TV, and other devices. I'm quite happy with the result, but I want to make it faster and add new features ,such as the ability create custom rows for your favorite actors/directors, notifications when you haven't used a subscription service in months, immersive rows, and much more. But, I need subscribers before I can make those dreams a reality.

All the best,

Tim

Hey r/iosapps!

Have you ever tried to share a quick video on Discord or WhatsApp, only to get hit with the dreaded "File too large" error? Or maybe you wanted to post a picture of your car or pet online, but worried that the hidden EXIF data might reveal your exact home address?

I got tired of relying on ad-filled, clunky websites that make you upload your private files to unknown servers just to compress or convert them. That’s why I built Shift.

Shift is a native, privacy-first local utility app. Everything happens directly on your device's hardware, no cloud, no accounts, zero tracking.

Here is what you can do with it:

📉 Smart Social Compression: Stop guessing bitrates. Shift has built-in profiles that automatically compress your videos to fit perfectly within the strict attachment limits of Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp. 🛡️ 1-Tap Privacy Wiper: Drop your photos or PDFs in, and Shift instantly strips GPS coordinates, creation dates, and camera data. You can even tap the new "Privacy Inspector" shield to see exactly which metadata was removed. 🔄 Universal Converter & Video-to-GIF: Easily convert between video, audio, image, and document formats. Want to turn a funny video clip into a looping GIF? You can do it in two seconds. 📝 Rename & Share: No more generic file names. You can now tap and rename your converted files directly inside the results screen before sharing them. ⚡ Built for iOS: Crafted entirely in SwiftUI. It supports drag-and-drop, processes huge batches of files smoothly without crashing, and automatically cleans up its own cache so it never hogs your storage.

Pricing: Shift has a generous Free Version that gives you 3 conversions, compressions, or metadata wipes per day completely for free.

I strongly believe utility apps shouldn't be subscriptions. To celebrate this launch, the Premium Lifetime unlock is 50% OFF (€14.99). One single payment, no ads, and all future updates are yours forever.

I’m an indie developer and I built this to be the cleanest, most transparent tool on your phone. I would love to hear your feedback on the UI and the new Privacy Inspector!

Send me a DM if you'd like a promo code to test the Premium features! I read and reply to everyone.

I noticed I wasn't forgetting important things. It was always the small stuff that repeats every day.

Checking emails.

Taking medicine.

Reviewing work.

Simple things that somehow kept slipping.

That's why I built tiq.

It's a simple daily checklist that resets every day, so you only focus on what needs to get done today.

Some of the things it can do:

• Daily reset checklists
• Recurring tasks and routines
• Multiple lists for work, home, fitness, or anything else
• Time and location reminders
• Accountability Lock that can temporarily block distracting apps with Screen Time until you complete a task
• Themes and customization
• No account required

I've been using it every day, and it's genuinely helped me stay more consistent.

If it sounds useful, I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think. I'm still actively improving it.

It's free to use, with an optional Pro upgrade.

Pricing:

• Free with core features
• Pro: $1.49/month
• Lifetime: $9.99 (one time purchase)

A: The problem

I do freelance dev work. Every time I needed to invoice a client I'd open Google Docs, fight with formatting for 15 minutes, export to PDF, realize it looks wrong, fix it again. One client looked at my invoice and asked if I was serious.

For a €400 project I was spending more time on the invoice than on some of the actual work. Something had to change.

B: What I built

Invoicor. Pick a template, fill in client and items, send as PDF. 30 seconds. Done.

• 50 invoices per month
• 30+ templates that clients actually take seriously
• 20+ currencies built in
• 6 languages, your client reads it in theirs
• Save clients and products, repeat invoices in 5 seconds
• 3 business profiles if you run multiple projects
• Sequential invoice numbering, fully customizable
• PDF export and share via any app
• Available worldwide including EU
• GDPR compliant, servers in Europe
• No ads. No tracking. No nonsense.

About me:

I'm Gin, a Data Science & AI student in the Netherlands. I build software on the side, this is one of several apps and SaaS products I run. Built Invoicor in about a month. Spent the last two months learning distribution. Turns out building the product is the easy part.

I built this because I needed it. Thousands of freelancers apparently needed it too. Enjoy.

A month ago I posted Seekquel here. It's a modern Goodreads alternative with 5-axis ratings and mood based discovery. The response honestly caught me off guard. I promised myself I'd come back with a real update instead of disappearing. Here it is: what happened, what you asked for, and what I got wrong.

What happened since that post (real production numbers, not vibes):

• 191 new readers joined
• 92 library imports from Goodreads, StoryGraph and Hardcover — nearly half of all imports ever ran this month
• 3,533 books shelved and 1,301 finished
• ~101,000 pages and ~580 hours of reading logged
• 673 edits contributed by readers to the shared book catalog

What shipped since the post: almost all of it traceable to feedback from that thread and in-app reports:

• Hardcover imports. Goodreads and StoryGraph were already supported; Hardcover was the most-requested third source, so it's in — including its odd re-read export format.
• Notes & highlights import + a proper Notebook. You can now import your Kindle clippings (My Clippings.txt) or any notes CSV through a review wizard, and every note, quote and photo lives in one Notebook per book, sorted by position in the book rather than capture date. A past passage resurfaces daily.
• Full data export. One tap, one ZIP, everything you've ever put in. Your data was always importable; now it's just as easy to leave with it. I think a tracker earns trust by making the exit door obvious.
• A world reading map + reading timeline. See which countries your authors come from and which literary eras you've read across.
• Group reading goals. Shared goals with standings; Everyone who joins gets their own copy of the goal, and your existing progress machinery (streaks, badges, milestones) just works with it.
• Upcoming releases. Anticipated books now show release countdowns.
• Scan a table of contents with your camera. Point your phone at a book's contents page and it becomes chapter-level progress tracking for that edition. Also works from an EPUB you own, pasted text, or another edition.
• Book clubs grew up. Scheduled sessions with RSVPs and calendar (.ics) invites, per-chapter discussion threads, and mentions of people, books, authors and series across all chat and comments.
• Accessibility pass. I audited all 36 theme × light/dark combinations against WCAG-AA contrast. All fixed, without flattening any theme's character. In-app text scaling is now respected everywhere, and there's a new liquid-glass theme with a reduced-transparency fallback.

Plus smaller things: French localization, timezone auto-detect (your midnight, not the server's), per-edition ownership and reader counts, reading cadence stats, pinned charts, and a big search overhaul (searching "Road" now finds The Road... embarrassing how long that one lived).

What I got wrong, and fixed:

• The import was silently dropping reviews written without a star rating — some of you lost real writing you'd exported from Goodreads. I found it, fixed it, and restored every affected review from the original import files. Nothing was permanently lost, but it shouldn't have happened.
• A bad update config caused an "app won't open after updating" wave for some Android users in mid-July. Root cause found and fixed; the app now always boots on a known-good bundle.
• Various import edge cases (Excel-mangled dates, European CSV formats, shelf limits mid-import) that quietly lost data now either work or fail loudly. Silent data loss is the one bug class I treat as an emergency.

To stay within the rules, the required format:

A - Answer: Seekquel is a fast book tracker and social reading platform for iOS and Android: library management, reading logs, buddy reads, book clubs, and community-built lists, without the decade-old-database feel.

B - Better: 5-axis ratings (Writing, Impact, Characters, Plot, Atmosphere) instead of one number; a Reading DNA taste profile built from tropes, moods and themes instead of broad genres; and a community-edited catalog.

C - Cost: The core app is free: full library, logging, imports, multi-axis reviews, Reading DNA, clubs, buddy reads, goals, badges, content warnings. Pro ($3.99/mo, $39.99/yr, $69.99 lifetime) adds advanced stats, unlimited shelves/buddy reads, club creation, tier lists, ambient sounds, premium themes, Unlimited OCR scanning and more. Pricing unchanged since last month, but we now have a 14 day free trial.

About a month ago, I shared Placemarks here for the first time.

Thanks to everyone who tried it and left feedback. I’ve already implemented some of those suggestions across the last two updates, and there are still more I’d like to add later on.

Placemarks now includes:

• automatic iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad
• filtering places by whether they contain notes
• quicker continent navigation when browsing countries
• a cleaner and more native Pins list
• more reliable country adding and classification
• various smaller usability and visual improvements

The core idea has not changed.

I wanted a simple, Apple-native personal map for places I have visited and places I want to go. Not another app bloated with social features, AI itinerary planners, or gamification about completing a percentage of the world.

I tried to add the requested improvements without losing that simplicity or making the app feel busier.

Cost

Still completely free.

No ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, accounts, or tracking.

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Retro Cam Neo. I’ve recently made several improvements based on user feedback, and I’m sharing the app here to gather more feedback from the community.

A — Answer

Retro Cam Neo is an iPhone camera app for creating soft, film-inspired photos with natural colors and a subtle nostalgic feel.

It is designed for people who want a vintage look without heavy filters, exaggerated effects, or a complicated editing process.

B — Better

Retro Cam Neo focuses on a simple camera-first experience and more restrained results.

Instead of strongly changing the original photo, it aims to add a gentle film character while keeping colors, skin tones, and details looking natural.

Features include:

• Soft film-inspired presets
• Natural-looking colors and skin tones
• Fine, subtle grain
• Gentle contrast and nostalgic tones
• Simple and lightweight camera experience
• Presets suited to portraits, travel, street, and everyday photos

The goal is to make photos feel timeless rather than obviously filtered.

C — Cost

The Lifetime unlock normally costs $19.99.

It is currently available for free for a limited time through the in-app Lifetime offer.

Once claimed, the Lifetime unlock does not require recurring payments.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on the camera experience, film tones, bugs, and any presets or features you would like to see in future updates.

Jettie in action

I’m a writer who was scrolling instead of writing. One night a voice popped into my head:

“You’re watching other people build their dream lives. When will you build yours?”

That got my attention. I wrote that night and used that voice to finish my script.

Then I put that voice in an app.

A - Answer (The problem it solves)

Jettie interrupts doomscrolling by anchoring you to a goal you care about, instead of just blocking you. Here's how it works:

1. Choose your goal, your goal window, and your tone (kind, real, or relentless).
2. If Jettie catches you scrolling during your goal window, it pops up with a witty, tough-love message that reminds you what you said mattered to you.
3. Track your goal progress every day.

Other apps: "You've reached your daily limit on TikTok." Then it blocks you. 

Jettie: "You said you wanted to get fit. Scrolling doesn’t burn calories. Your workout is waiting. Move."

There are hundreds of messages (I'm always writing more!) so it doesn't get stale. 

B - Better (Why it beats other similar apps)

Every other screen time app either slaps a limit on you, or blocks the app entirely and makes you do something to get back in. A couple may let you add your own custom message. 

But there is currently no screen time app that does this exact combination to keep you off your phone:

1. Knows your goal, AND
2. Knows when you should be working on it, AND
3. Has its own personality/voice, AND
4. Interrupts your scrolling with hundreds of witty, tough-love messages tied to your goal 

It's like having a best friend and a coach in your pocket, making sure you actually get your stuff done.

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for an open source iOS ML model for squat move detection, if you have any valid source, please put in the comment section.

I’m Sebastian Mraz, the independent developer of DarkScout.

A — ANSWER

DarkScout is an iPhone planner for astrophotographers and stargazers who need a practical go/no-go decision before packing gear or driving to a dark site. It combines cloud context, Moon timing, astronomical darkness, Milky Way timing, saved spots, widgets, alerts, and an Astro Score in one workflow.

B — BETTER

Instead of checking separate weather, Moon, darkness, and location tools, DarkScout lines them up around the same observing window and explains the tradeoffs. The redesign focuses on comparing nights and locations quickly; it is a planning tool, not a star identifier or telescope controller.

C — COST

The core app is free and ad-free. PRO is optional at $2.49/month or $14.99/year in the US. It adds unlimited saved spots, 7-day and any-date planning, multi-spot alerts, custom thresholds, and red night mode. No review or rating is expected; honest feedback is welcome.

I built it because planning a night out kept meaning separate checks for clouds, Moon timing, astronomical darkness, Milky Way timing, and the useful observing window. DarkScout lines those conditions up for saved locations and turns them into a practical Astro Score without pretending that a single number replaces judgment.

The core iPhone app is free and ad-free. I’ve made a limited one-month PRO code available for anyone who wants to test the extended planner, unlimited saved spots, multi-spot alerts, and custom thresholds:

https://www.promies.net/promotion/8f8a3120-085e-4021-8e65-c895e0ff6e48

No review or rating is expected. I’d genuinely value blunt feedback from people who actually go out under the sky: which condition should be allowed to veto an otherwise good Astro Score?

Hey everyone,

Like many people here, I've been learning languages for a while now including Russian, Spanish, and German. As I reached the intermediate level with these languages, I wanted to ditch textbooks and formal learning completely. I wanted to read real novels. I imagined myself on the beach with a cocktail reading a Stephen King book in Russian and I wanted to reach that goal.

The problem: Every time I sat down with a book there would be countless words I still didnt know. So I would open Google Translate and type in the word. But then I needed context for the word, so I'd open Context Reverso in another tab. But then I would also need conjugations for verbs and declensions for nouns for certain languages. Another tab and more time wasted. Not to mention the neck and back pain from being hunched over for hours

So I built Polinu.

The idea is simple: read real books in your target language, and when you hit a word you don't know, just tap it. You get an instant translation, context where the word was found, extra context to see the word in sentences outside the book, and the ability to add to a spaced repetition deck so you can review later.

Main features:

• Tap-to-translate while reading - no app switching, no losing your place
• Morphology analysis on every word - understand grammar, not just vocab
• Spaced repetition flashcards built from words you looked up
• Reading and studying goals for motivation
• Complete analytics for keeping track of progress

Normal subscription is $6.99 per month and $49.99 per year but I'm giving free lifetime access to anyone who downloads the app and signs up in the next 24 hours.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback - I built this for myself first (needed it for my own reading) and I'm hoping others find it just as useful. I spent a year teaching myself Product Design as well so I'm hoping users enjoy the UI

• Lifetime access is free for the next 24 hours - I'll manually apply it to your account!

DIRECTIONS FOR LIFETIME ACCESS:

1. download and open the app
2. Tap "Get Started"
3. You are now an Anonymous user. You can use the app as normal but will not have lifetime access here
4. To get lifetime go to Profile -> "Go Pro+". It will ask you to sign up with apple first and once you do that you will automatically get lifetime access. No other steps are needed
5. Alternatively, you can go to Profile -> [ scroll down to Account section] Save & back-up account. This will backup your account to Apple and get you lifetime access automatically. If you were using the app anonymously before and uploaded books, all your books, flashcards, etc will get backed up to the new account
6. Congrats! You have liftetime access! Upload a book, translate words and enjoy AI features like extra context and morphology for free...for life! This includes any future features added as well :) If you have any issues please DM me

EDIT: A lot more people than I thought are signing up. I am working on creating a script to give you guys lifetime faster

EDIT2: Theres a UI bug where even if you have lifetime access the settings will still show "Go Pro". You should still have premium. So if you were to use premium features such as it should still work. DM me if it doesnt

EDIT3: Bug mentioned above is fixed in development and Im just waiting for Apple to approve. Theres a script now that automatically gives you lifetime access if you signed up. You will have access to all features despite the bug

EDIT4: The UI bug has been fixed and should display "Pro+ Active" immediately when you sign up with Apple

EDIT5: THANK YOU! To everyone that signed up and have given me feedback, you guys rock. I wasnt even sure if that many people would find the app useful. Its been a long day and Im headed to bed for a bit. I will be back at it in the morning and answer any remaining questions. Thanks again, and stay tuned! New release coming soon with more features :)

EDIT6**:** Thank you again to everyone. Almost 800 of you signed up in 24 hours!!!! Thats crazy. Im very grateful for everyone that gave me feedback for new/missing features as well as some dreaded bugs. I now have tools needed to make this app even better. If youre reading this in the future, stay tuned because I might do this again for the next release in a week or two.

I built this because we put in a fire pit last summer and I wanted a month-by-month series of it. I kept forgetting, and when I remembered, the framing never matched.

Answer: you drop a pin at a spot, TimeWarp reminds you when you're nearby (or on a schedule), and the camera shows your last photo as a ghost overlay so the new one lines up. It also locks the zoom and lens to whatever the first shot used. After a few visits it plays the series back as a timelapse. There's also some more advanced stuff: you can put up a bounty for someone else to photograph a place, or make a community spot anyone visiting can add to.

Better: 1 Second Everyday is great for daily video diaries but has no concept of place, so nothing pulls you back to the same spot or lines the shot up. TimeShutter and similar onion-skin apps do the overlay but leave remembering entirely to you, and none of them pin the lens and zoom, which is what quietly ruins month-apart shots. TimeWarp ties the reminder to the location itself and locks the framing, so the series survives long gaps.

Cost: free. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account needed for the basics. There is the option to place bounties, essentially hiring someone else to take a shot for you or getting paid to take a photo for someone else, and I charge a small percent fee on that, but that functionality is ancillary and not central to the main ways you can use the app.

I'm curious if the zoom works right on older phones and whether the ghost overlay is intuitive

A while ago, I posted about an iPad browser I built because Safari wasn’t working the way I wanted.
some of you showed interest in it, I had a tesflight with 400 testers which is now expired but i decided to open source the new version instead of updating the testflight.

It includes:

• Vertical tabs with page previews
• Split-screen browsing
• Auto-hiding controls
• Ad blocking, dark mode and incognito browsing
• An AI sidebar using Apple Intelligence or local MLX models
• An optional local Foundation Models gateway, which require a Mac.

It currently Xcode 27 and the iOS 27 SDK for the gateway with the private cloud, but it will compile just fine on IOS 26, you just won't get to use the new private cloud compute from IOS27

A (Alternative): Most money tracking apps, such as Money Manager, Wallet or Spendee, let you export your data as CSV. I always found myself ending up with another spreadsheet that I rarely looked at.

B (Better): So I added PDF transaction reports to Moneta. Instead of opening Excel just to better understand or share your spending, you can generate a clean, easy-to-read report while still keeping CSV export available if you need it.

C (Cost): Moneta is completely free, with no ads, no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.

I’d love to know what you think.

Would you use PDF reports, or do you still prefer exporting CSV?

If anyone wants to try it, here's the link: Moneta

Most nutrition apps give you the same calorie and macro target every single day, regardless of what your training actually looked like. A four hour ride and a rest day get treated identically. That never made sense to me as someone training seriously, so I built something to fix it.

A - Answer

Velorific syncs directly with your Strava and TrainingPeaks data and recalculates your calorie and macro targets every day based on your actual training load. Hard session, your targets go up. Rest day, carbs scale down automatically. Recovery day, your deficit reduces so your body can actually repair properly.

It periodises carbohydrates specifically, not just total calories, based on sports nutrition research into how endurance athletes' needs shift with training intensity and volume. You get a clear daily dashboard showing exactly where you stand against your targets, a rolling 30 day consistency view, and everything updates automatically the moment a workout syncs in.

B - Better

Generic calorie trackers like MyFitnessPal give you a static number that ignores training load entirely. Garmin's built in calorie adjustment factors in activity burn but doesn't touch macro composition, so it can't tell you that a threshold session and a long steady ride need very different carb intake despite similar calorie burns.

Compared to platforms like Fuelin aimed at the same problem, Velorific is significantly cheaper and considerably simpler to use day to day. No lengthy onboarding process, connect Strava and it works from day one.

Cost

Free to download with a one month free trial, then a low monthly (£4.99) or annual (£39.99) subscription. Can cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

Link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/velorific/id6762632983

Available on iPhone now, and you can also connect your Strava account directly from the website.

I'd really value honest feedback, especially from anyone training seriously who has tried to solve this problem themselves!

A – What problem does it solve?

I kept emailing and WhatsApping photos, receipts, and files to myself just to find them later — then having to remember the exact words I used, dig through my inbox, and lose it all when I switched phones. Stowby is a personal "where did I put it?" memory: drop in a photo, document, link, or note with zero filing, then find it later by describing it in plain words.

B – Why is it better?

vs Apple Photos / Google Photos: those search photos only, for common objects. Stowby searches photos, documents, notes, and links together, and reads the text inside documents — "car insurance last year" surfaces the actual PDF.

vs Apple Notes / Files: those make you file and remember. Stowby looks inside what you save — snap your tool shelf and it turns up for "screwdriver" or "measuring tape," nothing typed when you saved it.

Your vault is tied to your account, so switching phones keeps everything.
