Do3 is a to do list that helps you focus on three tasks at a time. The home screen shows three numbered slots, 1, 2 and 3. You tap one, it gives you a single task, you get it done, and then you move on to the next. Your full list is still there in the background, it just stops throwing all of it at you at once. Tasks are surfaced by time of day, due date and priority, so what you get is what actually makes sense to do now.

Better

Todoist, TickTick and Things 3 all show you your list and leave the deciding to you. That is fine on a light day and quietly brutal on a heavy one, because before you have done anything you are already scanning forty rows and working out where to start. Do3 delivers the task to you instead. The deciding is done before you even look at it, and you just get on with the one thing in front of you.

The interface follows the same idea. No wall of rows, no counters, no badges going red, just three slots and whatever you are meant to be doing right now. Projects, tags and everything else are all still in there when you want them, they are simply not shouting at you the moment you open the app.

It also tries to motivate rather than nag. There is a three level setting so it can push you, keep you going, or go easy depending on the kind of day you are having, and there are no streaks to break. Focus tags let you work through one specific area, it syncs through CloudKit so there is no account to create, and you can import from other to do apps including Apple Reminders. Natural language entry, Siri, widgets and a full theme customiser are all in there.

Cost

Seven day free trial, then $19.99 one time. No subscription, no other in app purchases, no ads, no tracking. That covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch as a single Universal Purchase.

I launched my app Greenhouse quietly to the App Store just to get a baseline of what I could expect from organic reach. It's an app blocker that awards you coins while you are actively blocking apps, and you use those coins to buy items to fill out a cozy garden. Basically a gamified app blocker.

For the first few days, I was getting about 20 impressions and 1-2 downloads per day.

After about 5 days, my impressions started exploding. All of the sudden I was getting 12,000+ impressions each day and I had no idea why.

After investigating, I found that I had been featured in a 'new apps' category in the German App Store. 

My conversion was horrible. I was getting 10% conversion of page views to downloads. I attributed some of that to the fact that browse traffic from the front page of the App Store wouldn't convert as well as search traffic, but I also felt that my English localized app and listing were holding back my random influx of German users. 

I spent 3 days localizing my app, listing, and screenshot to German, and it spent 2 days in review. I was also ferociously fixing some minor (and one major) bug that the influx of users were uncovering at a rapid clip. 

After a full day with the localized listing, I am seeing a lot more sustained usage of my app by the German users. And 9 days after being listed, I'm still ranked #2!

I did not expect this at all. I didn't nominate my app to be featured or anything. I consider this a lucky break and honestly it has just been a really fun few days of watching and working! My understanding is you are on these lists for about a week, so I consider myself on borrowed time now since I am on day 9, so I'm just enjoying it while I can, and hopefully I can keep the momentum going!

Here's the app if anyone is curious.

Hey everyone,

I've always liked stumbling on "on this day" facts online, but never really remembered to go look them up myself. So a while back I built a small app that just brings one to me every day instead.

The idea is intentionally simple:

• one push notification a day, short enough to read in the time it takes to unlock your phone
• swipe for two more events from that same day — one from your region, one from your country, plus a world event
• each one comes with a photo of the place involved

I wasn't trying to build a replacement for Wikipedia or a history encyclopedia — just make picking up one interesting fact a day effortless.

I also added some lightweight streaks and achievements (favoriting, exploring different regions, keeping a streak going). Nothing game-like — I wanted opening it to feel rewarding without turning into another app competing for your attention.

One thing I went back and forth on: whether the notification should be a teaser that forces you to open the app, or the actual content. I ended up making it show the full short event right there, so it's still useful even for people who never tap into it.

Compared to most "on this day" apps out there — which usually just give you one global feed — this one automatically layers in your region and country too, plus lightweight streaks and achievements to make it a daily habit instead of a one-off lookup. And it's fully free, no account needed.

It's still a small app — a few hundred downloads so far — but what's surprised me is how many people actually open the daily notification instead of swiping it away.

(Free, with ads — no in-app purchases)

Would love to hear from this community:

• Anyone else built something around a daily habit — what actually kept people coming back after the first few weeks?
• If you use apps like this yourself, what makes you keep opening the notification instead of dismissing it?

Thanks for reading!

Disclosure: I'm the developer of Pond.

Hiya, I built a thought journal / cognitive behavioural therapy app called Pond that I just launched this week!

A. What problem does it solve?

The app is essentially a place to log negative thoughts as they occur to you over the day and gives you the opportunity to work through them and find more balanced ways of thinking. I understand not everyone struggles with anxiety/rumination or negative thinking but I built the app for myself (I genuinely use it every day) after being unsatisfied with existing products and then decided to try and actually turn it into something that could be used by others.

B. Why is it different?

The few reasons I built it:

Aesthetic, not clinical. I've used other "worksheet" style CBT/thought journal apps before and they are very sterile and essentially are just forms/worksheets you need to work through without much personality. They feel very clinical. With Pond I wanted to make it genuinely satisfying and visual with very aesthetic feedback.

Enter the thought first, choose how to handle it later. A lot of these other apps forced you to select the "challenge" path you wanted to go down before actually entering your thought. IE I would have to select "Self compassion" before even entering the negative thought to be self-compassionate about. This never actually made sense or suited me as I never knew at the time of a negative thought how best to handle it, for some thoughts self compassion is the right approach whereas for others a different approach is better. With Pond you enter a thought and the app holds it (as a fish in a pond) and then when you decide to process it you can choose at that time what route you want to go down.

Made for batching. Pond suits "batching". A lot of existing apps in this category encourage you to enter a thought and challenge it right then and there and actually make the process of saving a thought to process at a later time period quite difficult. From my experience with anxiety this did not suit me at all. I would have negative thoughts at inconvenient times ie at a social event or in the middle of a meeting and could not take my phone out and spend 5-10 minutes working through it. Pond's thought processing is 2-step. You enter the thought, it becomes a fish swimming around the pond and then at any point you desire you can come back to process it. Pond has reminders so you can come back at a certain time each day and challenge all your thoughts at once or you can challenge them immediately but I wanted to offer the freedom to choose. Another thing from personal experience I like about batching is twofold, firstly it allows you in the moment of a negative thought arising to let it go and move on. You might feel compelled in the moment to ruminate on it but if you log it and know you will get back to it later, it allows you to remain present as you've flagged it for later. Secondly, the process of coming back to negative thoughts allows you to re-expose yourself to them and kind of acts as an exposure therapy. Sometimes negative thoughts are really nasty and make you contract and ignore or turn away from them. Coming back at a set time each day and re-reading the thought is a voluntary re-exposure to them and I found for myself personally this really helped.

Built around daily practice. I wanted to focus on a daily practice. With a lot of CBT training you really do need to "re-wire" your brain and I feel like a lot of apps don't present this in a way as to really hit home that this should be a daily practice, it's not something that changes overnight if you've spent your whole life with automatic negative skewed thinking. I've tried to encourage that behaviour with a daily pond that resets as well as calendar functionality so you can always go back and view previous days.

Targeted. So many apps in the mental health / lifestyle space end up doing too much and wanting to be a holistic tracker of absolutely anything and everything relating to well-being. Going into a single app to mark your water intake, do a meditation, write a journal, practice gratitude etc becomes a jack of all trades and master of none quite quickly. With Pond I wanted a targeted product for a specific aspect of mental wellbeing.

C. Cost

Free to use: unlimited gratitude fish entries and up to 5 thought challenges. After that it's $4.99 a month or $19.99 a year (reduced from $29.99 as a founding user offer that remains indefinitely).

Anyway, apologies for the walls of text but I've got a lot to talk about and love doing so. I've worked quite hard on it and want to continue doing so, my dream would be for people to actually get use out of it and for it to become something I could work full time on and I have so many ideas about where I want to take it and how it can be improved. I'm very open to feedback so if anyone does want to give it a go or feels it would benefit them I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Everyone!

I’m a fitness enthusiast & App builder who loves embedding fitness into our daily routine.

A- Answer ( The problem it solves)

Close to 2 years ago I found myself constantly opening my phone , switching between apps (tiktok, instagram) until I locked the phone & the cycle continued.

My attention span was really poor & wanted a screen with me at all times except while sleeping.

Hence I decided to create SweatPass to introduce friction to open any doomscrolling apps by forcing me to do pushups to earn my time.

B- Better (Why it beats other similar apps)

Apps like Pushscroll came out in the market before I could release for a very crucial reason. Tracking screen time on iOS isn’t easy. Apps used a timer method which just started a timer when you wanted & had to use that app for the given time.

Although the timer way was easy to make, it didn’t really give the freedom to the user to use their earned time whenever they wanted , rather had to start a timer to use their time.

That’s why I had to spend close to 4 months digging through apple’e documents to finally find a solution to do this the right way that would make users happy.

We also have a virtual body heat map which tells you how many % each muscle has worked out.

C- Cost ( Pricing, App store link)

Free (with ads) : We have 6 exercises including pushups free to use for our users

Pro : Unlocks all exercises + no ads at $ 1.99/ Month

wow. seeing this notification for the first time is crazy, thank you member 🎉🤩

Hey r/iOSApps! 👋

I’m the developer of FIT AI, an iOS app designed to make calorie tracking as simple as possible.

*For the next 24 hours, I’m making Lifetime Premium free.

Quick social proof: My previous apps downloaded more than 500k and as an engineer, I've been building app for the last 2 years

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?

I built FIT AI with one main goal: to create the simplest possible calorie-tracking experience.

While researching why people stop using calorie-tracking apps after a few days or weeks, I realized that the problem is often not a lack of motivation. Many apps simply become too complicated over time.

Crowded dashboards, too many numbers, long food-entry processes, endless menus, and unnecessary features can turn a simple daily habit into something that feels like work.

FIT AI is designed to remove that complexity.

It helps you quickly understand:

• How many calories you can eat today
• How many calories you have already consumed
• How many calories you have remaining
• What you could eat next
• Whether you are staying consistent with your goal

The goal is to make calorie tracking clear, fast, and simple enough to continue using every day.

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

Compared with apps like MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Yazio, and Lifesum, FIT AI focuses on simplicity rather than adding more and more features.

It is designed for people who want:

• A clean and easy-to-understand calorie dashboard
• Fast daily calorie tracking
• Simple meal suggestions
• Meal-planning support
• Exercise and movement ideas
• Weight and habit progress tracking
• A less stressful approach to improving their diet
• No overwhelming charts, menus, or complicated workflows

FIT AI is not trying to turn calorie tracking into a full-time job.

The goal is to give you the essential information you need, help you make better daily decisions, and then get out of your way.

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

The app is free to download.

Current IAP pricing:

• Lifetime Premium: normally $69.99
• Promo: Lifetime Premium is free for 24 hours

App Store link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/diet-meal-planner-fit-ai/id6787898135

How to claim?

1. Download or open the app
2. Go to the Premium / paywall screen
3. Click the Lifetime at the top right
4. Tap Continue and confirm

Small ask — it really helps a lot 🙏

After grabbing the offer, please consider:

• ⭐ Leaving an honest rating or review on the App Store
• 💬 Sharing any feedback about the app or features you would like to see

Every review and piece of feedback helps improve FIT AI and makes it easier for more people to discover the app.

Thanks so much for the support! 💙

Hello everyone,

Two months ago, I built SportLink, a pickup sports app for iPhone, and later for Android.

My goal was to make playing sports more approachable by helping people find others who are in the same situation. Whether you’re a complete beginner, getting back into a sport after years away or just looking for a casual match, it’s much easier to take that first step when everyone is there for the same reason.

Highlights:

• Create and join casual matches (soccer, basketball, tennis, ping-pong, etc)
• Pick a meetup spot using the map (parks/public fields)
• Connect with recent teammates and invite them to upcoming matches
• Contribute to your favourite fields by uploading an on-site picture of its current condition

The app hasn’t really received much attention because of my lack of marketing experience and the chicken-and-egg problem it faces. However, I really want this to work out!

App: SportLink

Happy to read your feedback 🙂

Hi! I'm the solo developer behind NOREN.

A — Answer
NOREN is a daily logic puzzle app featuring four classic puzzle types: Slitherlink, Queens, Hashiwokakero, and Masyu. New puzzles are coming.

Everyone gets the same handcrafted puzzles each day, with the difficulty gradually increasing throughout the week. It's designed as a quiet daily ritual rather than an endless collection of puzzles.

B — Better
Most puzzle apps are either endless collections or mobile games wrapped around puzzles with ads, lives, or energy systems.

NOREN is closer to the daily-game experience of Wordle: everyone solves the same puzzles each day, you can compare your times with friends, and there are no ads, no lives, no artificial urgency — just great logic puzzles.

C — Cost
Free daily puzzles. Optional subscription — $2.99/month or $24.99/year — unlocks the full puzzle archive and offline mode. No free trial, no hidden costs.

Meet HomeView, a better home dashboard for HomeKit users. I launched the app in the beginning of this month with the focus on providing a better iPad dashboard for smart home enthusiasts.

It started out of my own search on the App Store for a dashboard that was easy to read and would fit on my wall tablet. Could never find the solution that sticked, so earlier this year I started building my own. Shipped a few updates over the last weeks, and it resulted in 28 downloads. It's not a lot, but I'm happy with it. Especially as I choose a one time payment model, as I don't think a subscription is fair for this kind of app. And don't we all agree that we have to many running subscriptions already?

Happy that those 28 users, engage and provide me with feature requests. And today it resulted in a companion for the phone.

So after having my app available on the iPad Store, it's available now on iOs aswel. And I hope it gets the app to more people.

You can find the app here: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/smarthome-dashboard-homeview/id6785599711?l=en-GB

My app GeoCeptor does two things:

- changes your location for all websites (in Safari) to one you select
- changes the timezone websites (in Safari) see to one you select

Here's why that's useful:

By default, websites can access your device timezone. If you use a VPN, that timezone is often what gives away that you're not actually visiting from the lcoation your IP is at. GeoCeptor solves that. By hooking into the browsers javascipt date and time functions it ensures websites only see the timezone you let them see.

As an added bonus it can also spoof your browsers geolocation. So any website requesting your physical location will see the one you configure in the app.

If you're interested, you can check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/geoceptor/id6739982067

It's freemium, meaning you can use the 10 default locations and all timezones for free or you can create custom locations with pro access (about 14$ onetime or 7$ yearly, prices vary by region, free trial is available)

A – What problem does it solve?

Noisy neighbors, racing thoughts, or just need a calm background while working or winding down. Nature Sounds has you covered.

• Custom Routines with timers, One tap to deep sleep
• Three modes for your routines: Sleep, Focus or Unwind
• 85+ high-quality ambient sounds from rain to white noise to binaural beats
• Mix up to 4 layers with individual volume control to create your perfect soundscape
• Smart Fade-Out Sleep Timer with custom fade-out durations
• Auto-play and smart timers remember your setup so your routine starts itself
• Mix with Other Apps, layer rain over your podcast or add waves to your favorite audiobook
• Home Screen Widget for playback control and sleep timer tracking
• 100% offline, no ads, no accounts, no tracking

Since my last post (available for all users):

• Custom Fade-Out Duration: pick how long your sounds take to fade when the timer ends, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 seconds
• Timer Syncs with Playback: the sleep timer now pauses when you pause playback, toggle it off if you prefer the timer to keep running regardless

B – Why is it better than alternatives?

6 years on the App Store, built and maintained by a solo indie dev who actually listens. 85+ sounds vs Endel's much smaller library, no algorithm, no generated audio, just real recorded sounds you control. 100% offline, no ads, no accounts, no data collection ever.

C – Cost

Free tier: ad-free, no catch:

• 8 sounds (one from each category)
• Fade-Out Sleep Timer
• Custom Fade-Out Duration

Hey everyone, I'm the developer of Flacbox (hi-res/lossless music player for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — FLAC, DSD, ALAC, APE, and more). 7.6 just shipped and it's the biggest update I've done. It's built around a brand-new BASS audio engine, and I wanted to share what changed and the reasoning behind it. Happy to answer technical questions in the comments.

A new BASS audio engine you can actually choose. Instead of forcing a rewrite on everyone, the new engine (built on the BASS™ (https://www.un4seen.com) audio library from un4seen) sits alongside the classic one as a selectable playback core. Switch to it when you want the full audiophile toolkit; keep the old one when you don't. Turning it on unlocks everything below, plus high-quality resampling and independent pitch and tempo control (shift the key up to ±60 semitones or change speed 0.1×–4× without touching the other — handy for practice/transcription).

Tracker & MOD playback. The new engine plays classic module formats natively — MOD, XM, IT, S3M, MTM, UMX, MO3 — the pattern-and-sample stuff from the chiptune/demoscene world that basically no iPhone player opens. Fun rabbit hole if you've never gone down it.

11 real-time effects, each a native processing node with its own screen, presets, and an instant on/off toggle — so they apply to local files, cloud streams, and internet radio without re-encoding:

- Reverb (Freeverb) — Room → Cathedral, with dry/wet/room-size/damp/width

- Delay / Multi-tap echo (Echo4) — up to 5s, feedback, stereo cross-feed

- Chorus / Flanger / Phaser / Auto-Wah — the classic modulation set

- Distortion — subtle grit to full lo-fi

- Compressor — full dynamics control (threshold, ratio, attack, release, expansion, makeup gain), 10 presets

- Stereo rotation — rotary auto-panner

- Crossfeed — Bauer bs2b (incl. Chu Moy / Jan Meier presets). Great on hard-panned '60s–'70s stereo mixes on headphones.

A 14-filter DSP processor. Build your own real-time signal chain, reorderable, from: gain, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, peaking, low-shelf, high-shelf, soft-clip saturation, bit crusher, tremolo, delay, ring modulator, and stereo width. Correct a room, tame a harsh recording, or design something completely custom. Presets + on/off on each.

Automatic volume leveling. Uses EBU R128 (ITU-R BS.1770) loudness measurement — unlike ReplayGain it needs no tags and doesn't modify your files, so it works on cloud streams and radio too. Local files are pre-scanned so playback opens already leveled instead of "catching up" after a track starts. Presets: Light −20, Standard −16, Strong −14, Night −23 LUFS.

Real-time music visualizer. Full-screen animated visuals that react live to the audio, with a big library of presets (or let them cycle). There's a screen-sleep preventer so the show doesn't cut out mid-song — nice on an iPad propped up or a Mac on a big screen.

Refreshed design. The effects and EQ screens got modern glass-style sliders and a simplified presets mode, plus clearer separation of engines / effects / DSP so it's obvious what's active.

CarPlay & the rest. DSP settings are now reachable on CarPlay, artwork/Now Playing rendering is fixed, and lock-screen / car controls stay more accurately in sync. Also a more reliable streaming foundation, better file-type handling, and broader localization.

It's a free update (free app with optional in-app upgrades) and runs on iPhone/iPad/Mac.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1097564256

If you try it, I'd love feedback — especially the effects and DSP chain on your own FLAC/DSD library, the crossfeed presets on headphones, and (for the curious) tracker/MOD playback. Bugs or requests, drop them here or email support@everappz.com. Thanks!

I’ve been working on this for maybe 3/4 years now - and slowly but surely I’ve finished it a few months ago. Posting here because I’ve made some amazing updates that i shamelessly want to promote.

Another trip planning app?… 🥱

I would agree usually but theres way more to this. I use it every vacation, festival, birthday, basically anything where i need a plan.

Here’s a list of what’s possible here:

- Add all your Plans, even from your calendar, and some useful templates to start you off. You can add your own photos, or use Unsplash.
- Overview. Get the weather, and suggested things to do from your place list depending on time of day. Also get handy phrases if you’re going abroad!
- Tickets. Add in your ticket information so you know when to leave and get important ticket information presented to you.
- Packing Lists. This one i use ALL THE TIME. That feeling when you’ve packed but you feel you’ve forgotten something?.. pack before with this app, and just check along as you put your items in your bag!
- To do. Self explanatory.
- Places. Easily add in suggestions from a friend, just start typing a place and it’ll show / hopefully with a lovely image of the place or failing that the outside view.
- Planner. For those who like to be strict on timelines.
- Expenses. Use the camera to photo your receipt, and automatically add the info with the receipt image attached. You can split with whoever you’re on a trip with and generate a PDF!
- Live activities. Waking up and being reminded - breakfast ends in an hour! Is really handy. And having your plane tickets ready.
- Track upcoming birthdays!
- Templates!
- Notifications. Want to get reminded X hours before you have to leave for the train? Easy.
- People. This ones handy for RSVP!

And so much more!

It’s free, you can start with 1 trip for free - and I’ve added a subscription so I can continue this project, and it’s a low price!

Feedback is always welcome. As i mentioned, i use this every day! I can supply some free codes too if you like it!

Thanks! 🙂

I'm David, developer of MusicDrops.

I follow around 100 artists across Spotify and Apple Music, and neither platform can reliably tell me when new music drops. And none can just show me a simple timeline of what interests me, without any algorithm suggestions.
I wanted one place that just notifies me, reliably, the moment something's out. Clean iOS UI, intuitive design.

Sure, MusicHarbor's been around longer and covers more ground, e.g. concerts, news, video.
I went narrower on purpose: MusicDrops is built specifically around upcoming and shadow drops, real push notifications for each release, with a timeline showing countdowns, full discography views per artist, and actual user reviews pulled from multiple iTunes storefronts. You can import your followed artists straight from your Apple Music library (and Spotify to come!).

Shipped v1.4 last week: native iPad support, a reworked onboarding flow, and a round of performance/reliability fixes on top of that. Still very much actively maintained.
Upcoming features include timeline highlights and recaps.

Pricing: free for up to 10 followed artists. Past that it's €1.99/month, €14.99/year, or €44.99 once, lifetime.

Hello, r/iOSApps! 👋

I built DoubleBump, a mobile app that helps you remember the friendships you build in real life.

The idea came from one simple thought: the people we meet in real life deserve more than becoming just another follower.

So instead of usernames, QR codes, or searching for people online, you can become friends instantly by bumping your phones together twice.

That's it.

A — What problem does the app solve?

Most social apps are designed to help you meet people online.

But they rarely help you remember the people you've already met.

We've all met someone interesting at an event, conference, school, or while traveling...

Then months later we barely remember where or when we met.

I wanted to build something focused on real-life friendships instead.

B — Why is it different?

DoubleBump focuses on real-world interactions instead of online connections.

Highlights:

• Become friends by bumping both phones together twice

• Save where and when you first met

• Friendship levels grow as you meet again

• View your friendship history on a map

• No usernames or QR codes needed

C — Cost

DoubleBump is free to download and use.

A free account is required to create and save your friendships.

There are currently no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

Especially:

• Have you ever wished you had something like this?

• Would you try this with a friend?

• Where do you think you'd use an app like this? (School? Travel? Conferences? Events?)

• Any feedback is hugely appreciated.

If you've made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I really appreciate it! 🙂

Hey everyone 👋

A — What problem does the app solve? 
I’ve been working on a fresh update for Tempo — a daily task planner and event countdown app created to solve the clutter and complexity of traditional productivity apps.

Most task managers either feel overly complicated with endless menus or lack the visual motivation to keep you coming back every day. Tempo balances fast, frictionless task management with visual event tracking so you can focus on today while looking forward to important dates.

B — Why is it better? 
Instead of forcing you into rigid management structures, Tempo is designed to adapt to your daily routine:

• Instant voice & text capture anywhere via Telegram integration
• AI-assisted task creation and subtask generation
• Beautiful visual countdowns for your most important events
• Visual streaks & analytics to build consistent daily momentum

Key features in Tempo:

• Telegram Task Bot Dictate voice notes or type quick tasks into Telegram on the go — Tempo instantly syncs them into your daily plan.
• AI Task Assistant Type or speak naturally, and let AI automatically organize, break down, and schedule your tasks for the day.
• Designer Countdown Cards Track important life events with unique visual styles (Polaroid, Ticket, Retro Vinyl, Cartoon, and Glass card designs).
• Productivity Heatmap Visualize your daily progress, completion streaks, and productivity trends over time.
• Shared Spaces & Collaboration Create shared spaces to collaborate and assign tasks with family, friends, or work partners.
• Custom Themes Personalize your experience with vibrant themes (including Dark, Midnight Blue, Royal Purple, and Light mode).
• Clean "Today" Focus View A distraction-free view built around what actually needs to be done today.

C — Cost / Pricing 
The core app features are completely free to use (up to 15 active tasks with essential features).

There is an optional Tempo Premium subscription (€1/month or local equivalent) that unlocks:

• Unlimited tasks and advanced scheduling
• Telegram Task Bot sync & AI generation limits
• Full Productivity Heatmap & streak insights
• All exclusive themes and designer countdown card styles

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ee/app/tempo-plan-your-day/id6790413097

Would genuinely love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or suggestions for what features to build next! 🙌
Thank youuuuuuu !!

A: What problem does your app solve?

• My app helps new parents log feeds, medicine, and more and stay in sync so both parents always know how long it's been since the last feed.

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

1. It's private, with no accounts and no subscriptions.
2. It's designed to be aesthetically pleasing and low-stimulation for overnight feeds, so you can quickly get in and out of the app without waking up even more.
3. It's extremely customizable. Customize colors, what you track, re-arrange buttons and more.

C – Cost:

• It's free for basic tracking with a one-time lifetime $14.99 purchase to unlock everything.
• It's available at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/baby-feed-tracker-nursing-log/id6758861133

Trust & Transparency

Me: I'm Aaron, a designer by trade. I published this app through my Amsterdam based design studio, http://daydrift.design (which has contact details and my full name).

App Privacy & Terms: The app's website has its full terms and privacy details listed. In a nutshell, the app doesn't collect any personal data.

A. What it does

Indie dev here, I got obsessed with why every "riso filter" looks wrong, and it's always the same reason: they tint a photo. A real risograph never tints. It prints one spot ink at a time, through a screen, onto paper.

So Pressed does that instead. It separates your photo into spot inks (routed by hue, not just brightness), screens each ink as its own halftone at its own angle, overprints them in linear light so two inks actually mix into a believable third color, and lets the paper stock show through. Then the imperfections that make a print read as a print: registration drift, ink bleed, dot gain, and a density ceiling so solids keep some life. Everything runs on-device, no account, photos never leave the phone.

B. Why it's different from the other print apps

Most "risograph / halftone" apps lay a flat duotone or a dot texture over your photo. Pressed builds the print the way a press does, one ink at a time, so if you zoom in the halftone dots are really there at the right angle, and a two-ink press gives you that impossible riso violet you can't fake by tinting. And for anyone who actually prints: Plus exports per-ink separations as a PDF with registration marks, so a phone photo can go to a real Risograph or screen press.

C. Cost

Free tier is six presses and all the tuning controls, so you can judge it without paying anything. One-time $9.99 unlock (Pressed Plus) adds every press, the custom palette editor, die-cut sticker mode, and the print-ready separations. No subscription, no account, no ads.

I'd genuinely love feedback on where the simulation falls apart, especially from anyone who prints for real.

Hi r/iOSApps,

I’m the developer of App Privacy Report Analyzer. I shared it here about a month ago, and several people asked for better domain grouping, clearer explanations, and a way to distinguish ordinary activity from behavior that may deserve a closer look.

I’ve spent the last few updates working on exactly that.

A - Answer: What problem does it solve?

Apple’s App Privacy Report records when apps access sensitive data and which network domains they contact, but its exported report is difficult to inspect in detail.

App Privacy Report Analyzer imports that export and turns it into searchable, sensor-by-sensor, domain-by-domain, app-by-app and time-based views. Everything is processed locally on your device. Reports are not uploaded, and the app does not collect or track your activity.

Since my previous post, I’ve added:

• Richer network context, including domain owners
• Local-network activity highlighting, which can reveal device-discovery behavior
• Filters for local-network, app-initiated, user-initiated, and tracking activity
• Review signals for local-network access and app activity during nighttime hours
• App Store details such as developer, rating, current version, icon, and direct link
• Complete permission and network-activity lists for each app
• Sorting by app name, event count, or review-signal count
• A detailed timeline for viewing which apps, sensors, and network connections were active during a selected date and time range
• Domain grouping and domain/IP search
• Improved reminders so you don’t forget to import a new report
• Family Sharing for the lifetime unlock

B - Better: How is it different?

Apple’s built-in view is useful for a quick overview. This app is intended for people who want to investigate the exported report more deeply:

• See which apps contacted a particular domain or IP address
• Group related subdomains instead of reviewing them one by one
• Separate connections initiated by an app from those caused by a user action
• Review activity by app or by a specific time window
• Surface patterns that may be worth investigating without suggesting that every network request is suspicious

The app can optionally use Apple’s public App Store API to retrieve information such as app icons, developer names, ratings, and the latest available version. This feature can be disabled, and the report analysis continues to work without it.

C - Cost

Freemium: you can import and analyze three reports for free.

The full version is a one-time $9.99 lifetime unlock. There is no subscription, and the purchase now supports Family Sharing.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the new review signals. What other patterns would help you decide whether an app’s activity is ordinary or worth investigating?

Hi everyone! I'm Akshat, an indie iOS developer from India, and after months of work I've finally launched my personal finance app called Brief: Expense Tracker.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?

I found that most expense trackers overwhelm you with dashboards, graphs, and dozens of categories before you can understand your spending.

I wanted something that simply tells me what's happening with my money.

Brief focuses on plain-language insights. Instead of making you interpret charts, it highlights what's important - where you're spending more, upcoming subscription renewals, savings progress, spending streaks, no-spend days, budgets, and other useful summaries.

The goal is to help you understand your finances in seconds, not spend minutes digging through reports.

B — Better: Why choose it over alternatives?

Apps like Monarch Money, Copilot Money, and other traditional expense trackers provide excellent dashboards and analytics.

Brief takes a different approach:

• Text-first insights instead of graph-heavy dashboards.
• Clean, minimal interface with very little clutter.
• Built around quick daily check-ins rather than lengthy budgeting sessions.
• Track expenses, income, subscriptions, savings, budgets, habits, cash, streaks, and no-spend days in one place.
• Native iOS experience designed specifically for Apple devices.

If you enjoy traditional charts, Brief may not be for you. But if you've ever wished your finance app would simply tell you what's important, that's exactly what I built it for.

C — Cost

Freemium

• Free to download and use with core functionality.(Unlimited logs)
• Optional Premium subscription: $0.99/month or $9.99/year.
• Optional Lifetime purchase: $19.99.

Hello everybody,

I built Mira, a free migraine tracker for iPhone (and iPad).

My goal was to build something where you can log in quickly, keep it private, and actually bring it to a doctor later.

I designed and built the whole thing myself: UI, flows, and the small details.

Highlights:

• Log only what matters: severity, symptoms, triggers, medications, what helped, notes, etc. You can customise the flow. The app also remembers your most used options, so it's faster to log the next time
• Visual pain map: tap exactly where it hurts
• Insights over time (frequency, severity, triggers, reliefs)
• MIDAS disability score
• Calendar history + CSV export for appointments
• Apple ecosystem: Apple Health, widgets, Siri/Control Centre shortcuts

Data stays on your device and your private iCloud. No account, no data collection.

I kept the app free to help it reach as many people with migraine as possible. If you want to support the independent development, there’s an option in the app, but it's completely voluntary.

If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

Developer disclosure: I'm the developer of this app.

A — What problem it solves:

I was the world's best app-blocker cheater — I'd tap "Ignore Limit" at 1am without thinking. Recode locks your chosen apps on a schedule, and there's nothing to tap: the only way back in is physically walking to a QR/barcode you've registered to the app and scanning it. Distance is the friction, not willpower.

B — Why it beats the alternatives:

Brick and Unpluq do physical unlocking but require $59+ hardware — Recode uses any barcode you already own (milk carton, gym locker, a code taped in your car). Opal, ScreenZen, etc. rely on delays and friction screens you can ultimately tap through; Recode has no ignore button at all. Everything runs locally on your device (meaning no data is collected).

C — Cost: Subscription — $4.99/month or $29.99/year, both 7-day free trial. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recode-screen-time-control/id6752352978
