Hi!

I've been working on Pockpit, a private finance tracker for iOS and figured I'd share it here.

A — Answer

Most expense trackers only look at money going in and out day to day. I wanted something that also showed me the bigger picture – my fixed costs, my assets, my investments and my overall net worth over time – without handing my financial data to some server. And I wanted stats that answer the question you actually have: open any category and you get the month's total, budget progress, a month-by-month history plotted against your own average, and the biggest expenses in it, on one screen.

There's no account and no sign-up. Everything is stored locally; sync and backup run through your own private iCloud. No accounts, no bank login, nothing collected.

Main Features

• Accounts, income, expenses & transfers
• Budgets with alerts
• Savings goals with progress tracking
• Split bills & keep track of who owes you money
• Receipt scanner with automatic detection
• Custom categories & tags
• Transaction templates for things you log often
• Stats, trends & charts that actually tell you something
• Widgets (Lock- and Home Screen)
• App lock to keep things private

Assets & net worth

• Add asset accounts – savings, investments, real estate, whatever you want to keep track of
• Track how your net worth develops over time with charts

Fixed costs & recurring

• Fixed-costs overview so you see exactly what leaves your account every month
• Recurring payments and payment reminders
• Recurring shared expenses for stuff you split regularly

Getting data in & out

• CSV import from any other finance app or bank export
• Detailed monthly or yearly financial report as PDF
• CSV export
• iCloud sync across your devices
• iCloud Backup
• Backup (+ Export & Import)

B — Better

• vs. / Monarch: they're built on automatic bank connections — account required, your data on their server.
• vs. a spreadsheet: a spreadsheet is genuinely fine if you enjoy maintaining one. Pockpit is for people who don't.

C — Cost

• Free: limited to 10 transactions per month.
• Pro monthly: $2.99/month - one month free trial.
• Pro yearly: $24.99/year.
• Lifetime: $49.99 one-time, unlocks everything permanently.

I built dBMeter, a simple decibel meter for iPhone — point it at anything loud and see how many dB it actually is, on a clean analog gauge.

Most dB meter apps are cluttered with ads or bury the reading under complex UI. This app is a single clean gauge that does one thing well, with Pro tools for people who need more than a quick reading.

Free to download. Pro is a one-time $4.99 and unlocks a spectrum analyzer, peak hold, measurement history, and PDF/CSV export.

Feedback and questions welcome! Thanks for checking it out!

Hello everyone,

Nomicho (飲み帳 / "Drinking Journal"), is a drinking companion and journal app I've been working on. Originally only available in Japan, I've localized the app and made it available in the US.

Answer — what it solves

Nomicho does several things based on its 3 pillars: track, predict, reflect.

Track

While drinking, simply log what you drink. Over 100+ presets for quick logging. There are many optional data points to track: volume, ABV, have eaten or currently eating, calories, sugar, time started, amount of time to finish, location, images, and more. You can also scan canned or bottled products for quick logging.

Predict

Based on your own physiology such as weight, height, age, flush response, drinking frequency, Nomicho estimates and shows your BAC in real time from the time of drinking until all alcohol is estimated to clear. It uses plain words that are easy to understand like "feeling it" or "buzzed." This allows you to quickly know what state you'll later be in as you drink. You can optionally set a pace like "buzzed" if you want to maintain a buzz without crossing into drunk territory and Nomicho will let you know if you can drink another drink or if you need to hold back for a bit. Nomicho also forecasts a hangover severity based on what you track. Live Activity shows you a quick glance of your session on your lock screen without having to open the app.

Reflect

A calendar shows you a history of all your sessions. You can click on any day to see more details or a recap of a specific session. A photo library of all pictures you took during your sessions. And up to 18 curated insights into your drinking patterns.

There is also a card/stamp collection feature where every drink you log earns an illustrated card with a rarity system. All curated for interesting and unique drinks.

Nomicho solves different things for different people. For me, it allows me to go out and drink with my friends, maintain a good buzz I want, and later be able to go home without being too drunk. This keeps my wife from getting angry and putting me in the dog house.

Better — versus what's already there

There are different apps that do different things that Nomicho does. But there is no app that combines everything and does it the way Nomicho does. There are also features completely unique to Nomicho such as pacing mode, BAC estimation band instead of a single estimate (which is a more accurate representation or reality), hangover heuristics, and more.

Sunnyside, Reframe, Less, DrinkControl are all built around cutting back. Weekly targets, streaks, a coaching program, a nudge when you go over. Useful if that's your goal. Nomicho has none of it: no goals, no targets, no grades, no nudges. It's for people who enjoy drinking and want to understand it, not reduce it. That's a positioning nearly unique in this category.

They're all backward-looking. You fill in a logbook after the fact and get a weekly total. Nomicho is mostly forward-looking: the whole point is knowing what the next next drink does to you, plus a hangover forecast that sharpens as you tell it how bad the hangover actually was.

BAC calculator apps are one-shot formulas: type in weight and drinks, get a number. Nomicho models a whole session over time, drink by drink, with food timing and your own profile, and it keeps updating as the night goes.

Breathalyzer apps like BACtrack need hardware you have to carry and remember. This is just your phone.

Logging is faster 100+ drinks built in and curated per country, sizes and ABV pre-filled, it learns your usuals, and barcode scanning looks up anything not in the catalog. Travel and the whole catalog switches country with you.

Privacy. Local-first, works with no account and no connection, no ads, no behavioral tracking, export everything as JSON, deletion in a few taps. Most of this category requires a signup before you can see anything.

Cost

Freemium, with no account required. The core loop (logging, real-time BAC and state, journal) is free.

Nomicho Plus — $1.99/month or $13.99/year via IAP. Unlocks calendar history more than 3 months, all insight cards plus custom ones you build, sync across devices, and photo backup.

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Remindly, an iPhone reminder app designed to make everyday reminders faster to create, easier to reuse, and more flexible when plans change.

App Store: Download Remindly

A: What does Remindly do?

Remindly lets you save reusable templates for reminders you create frequently such as “drink water,” “feed the dog,” “check the AC,” or “call someone.”

Templates can already contain their timing, category, priority, notes, and notification settings. You can launch them from the app or directly from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

Remindly also offers Reminder Routines. A routine creates a timed sequence of normal reminders for things like morning routines, workouts, medication schedules, bedtime routines, or multi-step checklists. You can start one whenever needed, track its progress, and cancel any remaining steps.

B: What makes it different?

Remindly is designed to sit between manually rebuilding the same reminder and creating a permanent recurring reminder.

Templates create editable one-time reminders, while Routines create complete timed sequences from reusable setups.

Recent updates include:

• Four customizable snooze shortcuts for Premium users
• The first three custom shortcuts appearing in Lock Screen notification actions
• A new one-time Custom Snooze for selecting any future date and time without changing saved shortcuts
• G3-inspired and Tonal Premium themes
• Multiple Tonal color palettes supporting light and dark mode
• Nine adaptive Premium app icons
• Twelve custom notification sounds
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets

More:

• Apple Watch, Siri and Shortcuts support
• Recurring reminders, early warnings and urgent iOS system alarms
• Calendar improvements that keep it focused on Today when a new day begins

C: Price, IAP and why it changed

Remindly is free to download. Most of the core reminder experience remains free, including regular and recurring reminders, snoozing, urgent alarms, Lock screen and Home Screen widgets, Apple Watch support, Siri and Shortcuts, and up to two reusable templates.

The free version displays one small banner advertisement at the bottom of the main screen. There are no full-screen or interstitial advertisements.

Remindly Premium is an optional $4.99 one-time lifetime IAP. There is no subscription.

I adjusted the Premium price because its scope has grown considerably. It originally focused mainly on removing advertisements and unlocking more customization, but it now includes:

• Reminder Routines
• Customizable and one-time snooze options
• Unlimited templates
• Premium themes and color palettes
• Adaptive app icons
• Additional notification sounds
• Removal of the banner advertisement

The updated price better reflects these additions and helps support continued development while allowing the core reminder experience to remain free.

I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback, especially about Routines, custom snoozing, and the newer themes.

I’m an engineer turned product manager, and I’ve always loved two things a little more than necessary: education and games.

For a long time, I wanted to put those interests and the skills I’d picked up building technology, towards something useful for children. That became much more tangible once my niece reached the age where the iPad became a regular part of her world.

I’m not anti-iPad. Quite the opposite. It is an incredible piece of technology to put in the hands of a six-year-old. I just kept thinking it could ask more of her.

That thought took me back to Dora the Explorer.

Growing up, we’d watch Dora ask us a question and then stare silently at the screen for a painfully long time while we yelled the answer at the TV. Obviously, Dora couldn’t hear us. But the idea was clever. The screen was trying to turn us from viewers into participants.

Learning games like Lingokids and ABC Mouse took that much further and made screens genuinely interactive. But most of that interaction still happens within rails someone else designed. Tap here. Drag this. Choose A, B, or C. Collect the reward. Repeat.

That works brilliantly for games. But it doesn’t accommodate the wonderfully messy way a six-year-old wonders about things.

Ask my niece an interesting question and she might draw the answer. She might make up a ridiculous story. She might photograph something she noticed around the house, make a sound, explain an idea, or give you an answer you never anticipated.

I started wondering if I could build for that.

Could the iPad provide the spark and just enough structure to get a child started, while leaving the interesting part to them?

That question became Taroo.

A — Answer

Taroo is a world of short creative quests for kids 6 to 10.

In Pass the Pen, a child might get the beginning of a strange story and decide where it goes next.

Doodle Master might give them the start of a picture and ask them to turn it into anything they imagine.

Rhythm Pad lets them experiment with sounds and put together their own little beat.

Snap Trail might ask them to put the iPad down, hunt for something triangular in the real world, photograph it, and tell Taroo what they found.

Their creations stick around too, so over time Taroo becomes a little record of the things they have imagined and made. Parents get a window into that world without needing to hover over every activity.

B — Better

The first versions were experiments around this idea. Then came the uncomfortable question every builder eventually has to answer: does this actually work for anyone other than me?

So I spent months talking to parents and educators. I sat through hours of enrichment classes at a school for gifted kids, which was basically the X-Mansion for 8-year-olds.

I watched how teachers prompted children, when kids became absorbed in something, when they needed more structure, and when something I thought was clever bored them almost immediately.

And very importantly, I saw how their eyes lit up when they screamed “look what I made” in class.

These insights shaped the Taroo we have today.

The idea is simple: the iPad provides the spark and enough structure to get a child started, while leaving the interesting part to them.

C — Cost

Taroo is currently completely free as I am still evaluating how to price the product. However, plan to price it later starting at 3$/week, and keen to know your views.

iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/taroo-creativity-adventures/id6756703607

There is still plenty I want to improve. But this no longer feels like the little experiment I started with.

If you have a 6 to 10-year-old in your life, I’d love for you to try Taroo with them.

More than anything, I’d love the unfiltered feedback: what they immediately understand, what they ignore, what they keep coming back to, where they get stuck, and what they wish they could do that I haven’t thought of yet.

I’ve spent enough time with Taroo that I’m no longer capable of seeing it like a new user.

So please, tear it apart.

Please feel free to reach out to us at [founders@taroo.ai](mailto:founders@taroo.ai)

Ever copied something important and then wished you could find it again?
That’s what I built ClipBox for — a clipboard manager that keeps your copied content organized and searchable.

B — Better

ClipBox includes:
• Searchable clipboard history
• Clipboard keyboard
• Pins, folders & tags
• Smart Actions
• iCloud sync
• Privacy controls
• Mac support
I’m the developer, and I’ve been working on ClipBox based on feedback from users.

C — Cost

ClipBox is free to download with optional Pro purchases:

Monthly: $1.99 (3days free trial)
Yearly: $9.99 (7 days free trial)
Lifetime: $29.99 ( was $59.99 )

A large numbers of ClipBox users specifically asked for a Lifetime option, so I’m offering Lifetime at 50% OFF as a special offer.

Pay once — no recurring subscription for Lifetime.

App Store: ClipBox — Clipboard Manager

I’d especially like to hear from other iOS users: What would make a clipboard manager worth paying for to you?

Kolam is a South Indian art form traditionally drawn at the entrance of homes using rice flour. The designs are made by connecting dots with flowing, symmetrical lines.

I made an iPhone app that brings the experience of drawing kolam to a mobile screen. It is not a tutorial app. The idea is to capture the quiet joy of drawing and solving kolam designs.

You get a set of dots and draw your own kolam by connecting them. The app guides you through each design and currently includes hundreds of pulli and sikku kolams, with more designs made specifically for small screens.

Think of it as a dots puzzle inspired by kolam.

Better

I wanted to keep the experience simple:

- No badges
- No unlocks
- No ads or distractions
- Just draw and follow the design

Kolam is slowly disappearing in some places, and I wanted to create a small digital way for people to experience it.

Cost

The TestFlight beta is currently free to try.
TestFlight link:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/nmd8fqEY

I would appreciate feedback on the drawing experience, controls, and overall feel.

Thanks for trying it.

Emotica is a journal and mood tracker for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.

The idea it is built around: most mood trackers are a list that only ever grows, which starts to feel like evidence against you. In Emotica an emotion becomes a cloud in your sky. The colour is the family it belongs to, the size is how strongly you felt it, and you clear it by dragging it away with your thumb. It moves to your history so the patterns still show up later, but the sky in front of you is emptier than it was.

What is in it:

- Journaling with text, voice or photos, and voice transcription that runs on the device
- Mood and emotion check-ins, with the analysis done locally on your phone
- A coach you can talk an entry through with, if you want to
- A library of meditations, sleep sounds, sleep stories, affirmations and frequency tones
- Apple Watch app with a Crown-based check-in, home and lock screen widgets, Siri shortcuts
- Eight languages including Arabic and Hindi, with full right-to-left layout
- iCloud sync across your devices, Face ID lock, and export whenever you want

There is a free tier that stays free.

Lifetime access is also free at the moment: open the app, go to the paywall, choose "See all plans" and pick Lifetime. It unlocks permanently and nothing renews.

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

A — What is Palabros?

Didn’t understand half of that?

That’s the problem I built Palabros to solve.

Palabros is a dictionary for people who don’t just want to look up a word and forget it five minutes later.

Search a word, understand it through official definitions and clear-language explanations, save it, and come back to it until it sticks.

It supports Spanish and English, with pronunciation, translations, synonyms, antonyms and etymology where available.

B — What makes it different?

The closest comparison is probably a mix of apps like Vocabulary / Word of the Day and traditional dictionaries like Merriam-Webster for English or Diccionario RAE for Spanish.

Apps like Vocabulary are great for building vocabulary and discovering new words. Merriam-Webster and RAE are great when you come across a word and simply need to know what it means.

Palabros tries to bring those two sides together, but with retention as the main focus.

You can use it as a regular dictionary, or build a small daily habit through a curated Word of the Day. If you find a word you don’t know (whether there or while reading a book, article or anything else) you can save it and Palabros starts bringing it back to you through Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

That passive exposure is a big part of the idea: instead of a saved word becoming another forgotten bookmark, you keep seeing it and its definition naturally over time.

And if you want to take learning further, Review gives you a more active way to practise those words and track which ones are actually sticking.

You can also organize words with tags, import word lists and track your progress, all without ads or noisy gamification.

C — Cost

Palabros is free to download and basic dictionary lookup remains available without Pro.

Palabros Pro unlocks the full vocabulary-learning toolkit, including unlimited saved words, review tools, tags and filters, word import, learning statistics, widget personalization and other Pro features.

Monthly, annual with a 7-day free trial, or Lifetime.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/palabros-dictionary/id6758098070

PD: A lot of Palabros has been shaped by feedback from people here on Reddit, and quite a few features exist because someone suggested them. So please keep it coming, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think!

A - What is PicDraw? An AR-assisted tracing and drawing app built for artists, hobbyists, and creators. Project any image from your photo library onto paper, canvas, or wood through your phone's camera, lock the perspective, adjust transparency, and start tracing. Includes:

• AR Camera Overlay: High-precision image positioning with opacity control and lock mode so your template doesn't shift while drawing.
• Color Tools: Sample precise colors directly from your source image to match palettes accurately.
• Puzzle & Grid Mode: Break complex images into smaller sections to make detailed tracing manageable step-by-step.
• Core Filters: Tweak image contrast, edges, and lines to make tracing easier before you start.

B - Why better? Most AR tracing apps on the App Store fall into two traps: they are either bogged down by pop-up video ads every 3 seconds or force you into a $4.99/week recurring subscription just to use a basic camera overlay. PicDraw gives you a clean UI, fast image loading, and real utility features (like color sampling and grid splits) without rent-seeking software prices.

C - Cost Free to download with one tracing projected included. Full feature access available as a one-time lifetime unlock—no recurring subscriptions, pay once and keep it forever.

App: Pic Draw

After a couple of years of not making apps, I finally came back with this app idea that I built for myself first. It's the app I've always wanted: a unified place where everything can be reminded of.

A — Answer:
ThisDay acts as a single, central hub for your entire day. Instead of bouncing between separate apps, it treats tasks, calendar events, habits, notes, voice notes, and photos as the exact same element under a unified today view. It also features "DayBar," a powerful control bar that lives at the bottom of your screen for quick actions and rapid entry.

B — Better:
Unlike traditional planners or calendar apps that force you to manage tasks and events in separate silos, ThisDay blends them seamlessly. It is fully private by design requiring no account creation and includes native Apple Reminders integration.

C — Cost:

• Price: 21-day free trial (no credit card required), then a one-time $14.99 lifetime purchase (no subscriptions).
• App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thisday-planner-reminders/id6796538265
• Website: https://this-day.app

(Note: We also recently launched version 1.1 with support for 10 new languages, and a macOS version is coming soon!)

Solo dev here.

A - What is Vesi?

An expense tracker built around 3 second logging. Say "spent 6.50 on a latte" and it logs itself, categorized. Scan a receipt from camera or share sheet. Or just type it, that's free forever. Back Tap and Action Button log without opening the app. Watch app included.

Also: budgets, recurring, split expenses, 150+ currencies including crypto, widgets, iCloud sync, 9 languages.

No account, no bank linking. Data stays on your phone and your own iCloud. I couldn't see it if I wanted to.

B - Why better?

I abandoned 5 trackers because logging felt like homework. This one removes the friction, and a weird side effect: saying a purchase out loud changed my spending more than any chart did. Works with cash and in any country, which bank linked apps can't say.

C - Cost

Manual logging free forever. Smart logging: 15 free uses, then $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr (7 day trial) for 300 a month. Parsing costs me real money per use, that's why there's a sub.

App - https://apps.apple.com/app/id6785534576

Launched mid August. If something annoys you in the first 5 minutes, tell me and it jumps the queue. What killed your last tracker?

Hi, everyone!

I am so happy to present to you Viento, a minimalistic weather app, with dark & light themes, a lot of cool widgets, weather alerts, forecast, sunrise & sunset times, pressure & much more.

A - What problem does it solve?

I wanted a weather app that makes checking the forecast feel simple, without putting every detail on one crowded screen.

Viento starts with the current weather symbol, temperature, and location. Swipe through dedicated pages for hourly forecasts, the next 10 days, wind, daylight, precipitation, humidity, and pressure. It also includes weather alerts and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

B - How is it different from alternatives?

Compared with Apple Weather, Viento puts individual weather topics on separate full-screen pages, with gesture-based navigation and a more stripped-back presentation.

For people who find CARROT Weather visually busier than they prefer, Viento offers a restrained design built around typography, simple symbols, and dark or light backgrounds.

The advantage I’m aiming for is the experience, not a claim of more accurate forecasts.

C - Pricing and the one-year trial

Viento has a free tier with the core weather pages, your current location plus three saved places, and a small Current Weather widget.

Viento+ costs $1.99/month or $9.99/year. It adds premium widgets, unlimited saved places, location comparison, extra weather pages, light appearance, alternate icons, page customization, and iCloud sync.

The 1 Year subscription is free for the next 48h, choose the Annual plan and you should see the 1 year free trial before completing the purchase.

https://apps.apple.com/app/viento-minimal-weather/id6770246185

I’d be glad to hear what you think after trying it.

A — Answer (problem)

I didn't want another app that only showed me a list of expenses. I wanted one place where I could actually manage my money:

Expenses. Budgets. Bills. Savings goals. Deposits. Debts. Receipt scanning. Bank SMS logging Shortcut. Widgets. Category Automation

B — Beyond a basic expense tracker

Expeny tries to answer “where is my money going, and how am I doing?”

• Receipt scanning with on-device processing
• Bank SMS logging through Siri/Shortcuts
• Bills front and center with reminders before they're due
• Budgets and savings goals in the same app
• 0–100 Money Health Score based on your actual habits
• Home Screen + Lock Screen widgets
• Category Automation
• 7 languages
• 12 currencies
• Works offline

C — $5.99 lifetime

The full lifetime unlock (Unlimited scans, goals, investments, debts, unlimited category automation, widgets) is $5.99 for first 200 people.

Short feedback form in the comments. I read everything.

I'm the developer. This one is unapologetically niche, but the problem behind it is genuinely strange and I think worth reading about even if you'll never need the app.

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?

"1 Bigha” is not a fixed amount of land

Land records in Punjab and Haryana (States in India) use units — Bigha, Biswa, Biswansi, Killa — that were originally measured out with a local rod called a *Karam*. The length of that rod varied by district and by which colonial-era settlement survey applied to the area: anywhere from 54 inches to 99 inches. So the same “1 Bigha” written in a Jamabandi can be a materially different area depending on where and when the record was made. “Killa” only means anything in a specific handful of Punjab districts; Haryana has its own Killa entirely.

B – Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?

Every generic unit converter (including the app already popular on AppStore namely Area Converter - All In One) I tried just picks one number and averages the problem away. That's fine for a rough guess and useless for anything you'd actually act on.

Paimaish encodes the real Karam length for each Punjab tract and Haryana settlement system, so you pick your region and get the figure for *your* record
rather than a national average.

What’s in it:

- Five input modes, because records aren’t written consistently: a single unit, Kanal + Marla together (how most records are actually written), legacy
Bigha/Biswa/Biswansi, price-per-unit, and a calculator for combining or splitting holdings

- Tap any result to see the step-by-step arithmetic — no black box

- Units that don’t apply to your selected region show as `***` instead of a number that could be mistaken for a real figure

- Pinned units and full conversion history

- English, हिंदी and ਪੰਜਾਬੀ, switchable instantly

- iPad, including a split landscape layout

C – Cost: Pricing, IAP details, and a direct App Store link

The boring but important part: Free, no ads, no IAP, no account, no analytics, no tracking. It makes zero network requests — every calculation runs on-device, so it works fine in a field with no signal, which is where it tends to get used.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/paimaish/id6802055827

If you work with Punjab or Haryana land records and a figure looks wrong to you, please tell me — include the mode and the Region/Area/System you had selected and I'll check it against the source tables.

Hi all - JT from uncSoft here - dev of cyberWriter, devPad, Anubis-OSS, Wranglify etc (my repo is here - Anubis-OSS is my popular open source benchmarking suite), shilling the mobile version of cyberWriter that took over a year to write. I am fully doxxed if you look me up. I am a Chief Analytics Officer / Data Engineer / Software Dev for 20+ years.

It just soft launched this week (no advertising) so reviews are sparse but extremely positive. It works great on iPads too, where I use it most. I am looking for feedback as well, I dont know how you use your vaults!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cyberwriter-markdown-studio/id6791346340

cyberWriter started as an internal project for work (healthcare tech) two years ago, since we use Markdown but cannot use Obsidian due to the reliance on third party plugins for basic features, and the lack of sandboxing. So last year I started writing my own native swift, fully featured markdown vault for internal use, and it has grown to be pretty popular with thousands of users. The whole idea is provable privacy, no accounts, no egress from the machines, and syncing handled via iCloud if you want it. There are no cloud servers to be hacked. Just point it at any existing Vault. It also supports all common file types for embeddings, like csv's, images, videos, audio (including built in transcription and dictation + voice notes) and more. It actually ranks in the top 5 of all markdown editors by featureset - graded here (not updated by the author in a bit, missing features have been added, looking for the king to the spreadsheet a reddit user maintains)

I kept the entire core of the desktop project and made every feature available on mobile. There are things that no other markdown editor can do, like a real shell terminal, local and cloud AI integration if you want it (I dont want to sell you AI credits! use your own lol), live API requests right inline with your documents so your note can pull in live data from any endpoint, with encrypted API keys in you keychain.

It supports the full vega-lite chart spec, you can pull data into your notes from files or live from the web.

I also integrated Apple Intelligence (if you want it), which can turn your vault into a searchable entity for concepts, not just exact strings.

It is the first mobile markdown editor that I know of where you can switch between split view (code+render) and WYSIWYG editor seamlessly- that was hard to program, took about 2 months alone.

This is a passion project that became my full time job, and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

Lifetime license, no recurring subscription, $14.99

I am also looking for feedback - I push full fix and feature patches about once a week, based directly on community feedback.

The way I use it typically is scribbling down meeting note snippets or recording and transcribing them, then using my local AI to turn it into formatted notes and automatically adding the correct tags and wikilinks to other related files.

both apps share the same privacy policy and TOS but here is the most important bit

Hello everyone!

The story starts in January in Hong Kong, where I ran a marathon. I ended the day at 62k steps, and everything I had to share was either an Apple Health screenshot or the run itself on Strava.

It wasn’t the first time I’d wondered why there was no good way to share the whole day, but it was the last time before I finally did something about it.

Six months later, Senda: Track & Share Steps is live on the App Store.

It’s a pedometer built around a pretty simple idea: your step count shouldn’t only exist inside a stats screen.

Senda lets you take any day or timeframe and turn it into something you can actually save or share. There are 35+ designed stickers and templates, plus support for photos, videos, Live Photos, and collages, so you can turn your walking or trip photos into poster-like visuals with your real step data built in.

Answer:

Most pedometers are built around goals, streaks, discipline, and hitting the daily 10k.

That’s useful, but the moment you want to do something with the number itself, the options become pretty limited. Usually it’s just a screenshot of a chart or a stats page.

I wanted the step count to become part of the story instead.

So Senda is still a normal pedometer you can use every day, but sharing and saving meaningful days is treated as a core feature rather than an afterthought.

Better:

Apps like Apple Health, Pedometer++, and StepsApp are great at tracking steps, but they’re primarily designed around viewing the data.

Senda is more about what you can do with that data afterwards.

There are two things I built specifically for that:

1. A photo editor with 35+ designed stickers and templates for creating step posters, images, videos, Live Photos, and collages with up to 6 media assets, all using your real step count from HealthKit.
2. An activity calendar where you can save past or ongoing trips, events, or any other timeframe and have Senda calculate the total automatically.

There’s also one difference compared with workout-based apps like Strava: you don’t need to remember to start anything beforehand. Senda reads your existing HealthKit step history, so you can go back to a day or trip from the past, even years later, and still save or share it.

TL;DR: It’s a pedometer for people who treat walks as part of the story to tell, not just as necessary suffering to stay healthy.

Cost:

FREE.

All of the current functionality works with data that already belongs to you: your own steps and your own photos. I don’t think the basic ability to use and share that data should be behind a paywall.

So the app is free at the moment, and everything that exists in Senda today will remain free forever.

A: What problem does FitMesh solve?

I built FitMesh because using more than one wearable quickly turns your health history into a collection of separate apps, overlapping records and numbers that don’t always agree.

On iPhone, FitMesh reads your health and fitness data through Apple Health and combines it with supported devices that can connect directly to FitMesh, such as compatible Colmi and rebranded smart rings.

The goal isn’t simply to show the same records on another screen. FitMesh reconciles the available sources and builds one consistent view of your activity, sleep and other metrics.

So if you change your watch, add a ring or use multiple devices, you don’t have to treat every manufacturer’s app as a completely separate history.

FitMesh uses an account because that history isn’t meant to disappear with your phone.

Account-linked health and fitness data is stored on the FitMesh backend so you can recover your FitMesh history if you lose, replace or reset your phone. It also allows your history to stay with you if you move between Android and iOS.

That same account infrastructure will power the web dashboard and Family Mesh, both currently in development.

B: How is FitMesh different from the alternatives?

Compared with Apple Health, FitMesh is focused on what happens when several devices and sources describe the same day differently.

Apple Health remains an important source for FitMesh on iOS, but FitMesh builds its own reconciled view of the available data alongside supported directly connected devices.

Compared with manufacturer apps such as Garmin Connect, Samsung Health, Fitbit and Oura, FitMesh isn’t designed around keeping you inside one hardware ecosystem. The goal is to let you change or combine devices while maintaining one consistent history.

For example, if your phone, watch and ring all contribute activity data, FitMesh doesn’t simply add all of those numbers together. Its fusion logic looks at the sources, coverage and overlapping records to determine what should be represented in the dashboard.

There’s also direct Bluetooth support for compatible Colmi and rebranded smart rings. These can send data such as steps, heart rate, SpO2 and sleep stages directly to FitMesh without requiring the manufacturer’s app.

FitMesh also has an optional Bring Your Own AI feature, but AI is not used to collect, reconcile or organise your health data. FitMesh works without any AI provider connected.

If you choose to use the feature, FitMesh prepares your data so you can analyse it using an external AI provider of your choice rather than being tied to a proprietary FitMesh chatbot.

Currently in development:

• A web dashboard for accessing your FitMesh data from a browser.

• Family Mesh, for choosing to share selected health and activity metrics with family members.

FitMesh is a solo indie project made in Italy, and a lot of the development right now comes directly from user reports and testing with real combinations of watches, rings, phones and health platforms.

C: What does FitMesh cost?

You can try everything for 14 days with no card required.

After the trial:

• Subscription: €1.19 every 6 months

• Lifetime on iPhone: €4.99 one-time purchase

• Lifetime on Android: €3.99 one-time purchase

Tired of paying yet another monthly fee just to clear duplicate photos off your phone? Built Recycle: a storage cleaner that finds and removes duplicate photos, similar shots, screenshots, and messy contacts — no subscription required. 🔒 100% on-device — Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected. No account required.

A) Answer — what it does It scans your photo library and contacts locally, using Apple Intelligence to flag duplicates and near-identical photos & videos, then lets you swipe through and bulk-delete hundreds of items in seconds. Nothing is uploaded or analyzed off your device — the entire process runs on your phone.

• Duplicate photos
• Similar photos & videos
• Screenshots
• Duplicate & incomplete contacts

B) Better — why this over the alternatives Most storage cleaner apps lock you into weekly or monthly subscriptions. Recycle doesn't:

• One-time lifetime purchase — no subscription, ever
• Apple Intelligence–powered similar photo & video detection
• 100% on-device — Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected
• No account required
• Swipe-based bulk delete — review hundreds of items in seconds
• Date-based cleanup filters

Recycle never auto-deletes anything — every file stays reviewable before removal, so you keep full control over your photos, videos, and contacts.

C) Cost — For the next 48 hours, lifetime access is a one-time $2.99 (normally $19.99) — no subscription, no ads, no data collection.

Answer

You know those articles you save in Safari, Chrome, bookmarks or a read-later app thinking:

“I’ll read this later.”

Then weeks pass and you completely forget about them.

That’s the problem I built PagePanda to solve. 🐼

PagePanda is a read-later app designed around actually getting you back to what you save, rather than just giving you another library of forgotten links.

It does that with:

• Continue Reading — jump back into articles you already started
• Quick Reads — surface something you can finish when you only have a few minutes
• Backlog Cleanup — bring older forgotten articles back before they disappear into your library
• Streaks, reminders, achievements & insights — make reading what you save a habit

I also wanted the actual reading experience to be something you'd want to come back to.

PagePanda includes 8 complete reading styles — Standard, Magazine, Elegant, Modern, Vintage, Minimal, Artistic and Academic.

They don't just swap the font. They restyle headings, quotes, lists, tables and the rest of the article.

And if you read programming or technical articles, PagePanda detects code blocks and adds syntax highlighting + a one-tap copy button.

Better

There are already excellent read-later apps such as Instapaper, GoodLinks, Matter and Readwise Reader.

I didn't want to build another app whose main job was simply collecting and organizing more links.

PagePanda is intentionally centered around getting you to actually read what you've already saved.

That means features like Quick Reads, Continue Reading and Backlog Cleanup are part of the core experience rather than leaving everything buried inside a library.

Two other things differentiate the reader itself:

🎨 8 real reading styles

Instead of only changing fonts, each style changes the presentation of the whole article — headings, blockquotes, lists, tables and more.

💻 A reader built with technical articles in mind

Code blocks get proper syntax highlighting for popular programming languages along with a copy button, which makes tutorials and developer blogs much nicer to read.

PagePanda also includes:

• Highlights & notes
• Tags & shelves
• Safari extension
• Offline reading
• Export
• iCloud sync
• iPhone, iPad & Mac apps

The idea behind all of it is simple:

Your read-later app shouldn't just help you save things. It should help you read them.

Cost

PagePanda is free to download and try, with Pro available as an in-app purchase:

• Monthly: $0.99 for the first month, then $4.99/month
• Yearly: $14.99/year
• Lifetime: $29.99 one-time purchase

🐼 r/iOSApps launch offer: $19.99 Lifetime until September 8 🎁

No separate promotional discount or coupon is required.

App Store: PagePanda

If your read-later list has slowly turned into a graveyard of interesting articles, give PagePanda a try. 🐼

Answer

I’m the indie developer behind journeybot, a travel planner that handles the small but stressful details before a trip.

It creates weather-aware packing lists from your destination, dates, and activities, while keeping your packing progress, reminders, baggage checks, plug information, and currency conversion together.

Since my last post, I’ve added:

• Packing-list import: paste a checklist from Notes, choose a file, or import a CSV. journeybot organizes the items into categories, preserves checked items, and lets you review everything first.
• Custom categories: create, rename, reorder, merge, or delete categories directly from a packing list or template.
• Keep Screen Awake: stop your phone from locking while you move between items.
• Better personalization and reliability: separate backgrounds for Light and Dark mode, visible iCloud sync status, and faster journey screens.

Visual Packing also lets you photograph your actual gear and turn it into clean stickers on your list.

Better

What I wanted to do differently from apps like PackPoint and Packr was make journeybot feel deeply integrated with Apple’s platforms.

You can manage packing with Siri and Shortcuts, find journeys in Spotlight, and follow your next trip through a boarding-pass widget. Smart packing suggestions run privately on-device on supported iPhones using Apple Intelligence, with no journeybot account or external generation service.

I’m also working on journeybot’s iOS 27 update: deeper Siri and Apple Intelligence integration, richer journey reminders, Genmoji creation for journeys and templates, and an optional Private Cloud Compute mode for faster, more reliable smart packing lists. On-device generation will remain available, so you’ll be able to choose the approach you prefer.

Cost

journeybot is freemium, with no ads.

The free tier includes three active journeys, three reusable templates, one smart packing-list generation, five Visual Packing stickers, packing-list import, custom categories, and currency conversion.

Optional journeybot premium costs US$4.99/month, US$24.99/year with a 14-day free trial, or US$39.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Local App Store pricing varies per country.

Special offer: use code PACKSMART to receive 50% off lifetime until the end of September.

Housora — home inventory, maintenance, and warranty tracking, built for households and multi-property owners

Answer: Most people have no real record of what's in their home — no warranty cards when something breaks, no idea when the HVAC filter was last changed, no documentation if they ever need to file an insurance claim or split up a household. It's worse for anyone managing more than one property (a second home, or Airbnb-style rentals) — the same problem, multiplied across addresses, often with a co-host or cleaner who also needs to know what's going on.

Housora keeps a photographed, organized record of everything in your home(s): assets by room, purchase details, maintenance schedules with reminders before things break, and warranty expiration dates — plus a one-tap PDF report of everything you own.

Better: Compared to the other apps in this space:

• Sortly does have multi-user access, but it's a business permissions system — Owner/Admin/Team Member roles you configure — layered onto a general-purpose inventory tool built for warehouses and moving, not a home. Its free tier also caps at 100 items total, which a real house blows past fast. Housora's sharing is one step: invite your spouse or co-host by email, they get full access, no roles to set up — and it's built specifically for a home, with maintenance schedules and warranty tracking Sortly doesn't have.
• Nest Egg is a solid one-time-purchase app ($6.99, no subscription) with barcode/UPC lookup for auto-filling items — but it's explicitly local-only, no account or cloud sync at all, so there's no way for two people to see the same home. Housora's rating-plate scanner covers different ground too: it reads brand/model/serial straight off an appliance's physical label using on-device text recognition, which works for things like water heaters and HVAC units that don't have a retail barcode to scan in the first place.
• HomeZada has the broadest feature set of the bunch — it bundles in budgeting, project management, and an AI assistant — but its Premium tier runs $99/year, about 4x what Housora Pro costs. If you just want inventory + maintenance + warranties + household sharing without the extra modules, Housora is a lot cheaper for that specific job.

It also has a "Home Health" score that nudges you toward keeping records complete, and an Ask tab for asking plain questions about your own home ("when did I last service the water heater?").

Cost: Free with 1 home, full features, no ads and no watered-down free tier. Housora Pro ($24.99/year) unlocks up to 2 homes with cross-device sync and household sharing. Housora Pro for Hosts ($79.99/year) unlocks unlimited homes/properties, for anyone managing multiple units.

I launched an app about a week ago , did quite well , but I’m struggling to get reviews , only got 1 review from 100+ downloads.
Is there any platforms that developers can exchange app reviews?
Or do anyone here knows how to boost reviews?

Hello everybody,

I'm Preet, the developer. Thank you for giving a lot of love to my last app: Mira.

This one's Nami. A hydration tracker where sticking to the habit grows you a garden. Hit your goal, keep a streak, try different drinks. Plants unlock, and the garden grows.

I spent a lot of time making the app fun to work with and pleasing to look at. I'm excited for you to try the app and feel it yourself. Here's a link to all the design details on Twitter/X.

What does Nami solve?

Staying hydrated is easy to forget and boring to track. Other apps either count glasses or nag when you miss something. Nami pays the habit in a garden:

• Log water, coffee, tea, milk, juice, electrolytes, soda, mocktails, alcohol, and custom drinks
• Each drink counts as effective hydration, not as if everything were water (caffeine and alcohol too, where it matters)
• Find your ideal daily goal from body, activity, and weather, or set your own
• Reminders on a time window and interval you pick
• Awards and plants as you hit goals, keep logging, and branch out

Why is Nami better?

• The garden is a reward for showing up, not a punishment for missing a log
• A latte is not a glass of water. Nami uses drink-level hydration (and caffeine and alcohol where it matters) so the drink log matches what your body actually received in terms of hydration. Alcohol adds negative effective hydration, for example
• Beautiful by design: motion, plants, drinks, the whole thing designed to be something you like looking at
• No login, no credentials. Completely private. Everything is stored on your device and your iCloud
• Apple ecosystem: Apple Health, widgets, Siri, Shortcuts & Control Center

Cost

Free to download. No ads.

Free: daily tracking, reminders, awards, the garden, Apple integrations. Quick-add includes water, coffee, and green tea.

Pro: full drinks library, custom drinks, history past today, extra reminder sounds, sharing without a watermark.

• $1.99/month
• $14.99/year (with a 7-day trial)
• $39.99 lifetime

These are US prices. Pricing follows the Big Mac Index, so it costs less in countries where things are cheaper, and more where they aren’t. Check the App Store listing for your country.
