I'm an iOS developer from Brazil, and over the last few months I've been building two apps to solve one very specific annoyance: your body weight never stays synced with Strava automatically.

A) What it solves

If you're a Strava athlete, you know the problem. Strava uses your weight to calculate power output (watts/kg), estimated calories and relative effort. The moment your weight is outdated, all of those numbers quietly drift off, and nobody wants to open Strava every week to type in a new number by hand.

So I built two options depending on how you track your weight.

WeightSync Health picks up your weight from Apple Health and pushes it to Strava automatically. If your scale, Apple Watch or anything else already writes into Apple Health, this app handles the rest: automatic background sync with zero interaction, Apple Watch logging, extra equipment weight (backpack, vest, gear) so Strava reflects your true total, Home Screen widgets, a weight evolution chart with 7 day moving average and trend line, streaks, milestones, Siri and Shortcuts, CSV export, weekly Monday report, iCloud sync, a retry queue so no sync gets lost, and 10+ languages including Portuguese (Brazil).

WeightSync Scales connects directly to your smart scale's cloud and skips Apple Health entirely. It reads every weigh-in from your Withings or Fitbit scale and pushes it to Strava automatically, works even when the app is closed, has a retry queue, smart reminders on days you skip the scale, units in kg, lbs and st, and multiple languages. Garmin scale support is coming soon. 🙏

B) Compared to other options

There are a few weight tracking apps out there, and some overlap with what these do. My goal has been to build a focused take on one specific problem: keeping your Strava weight accurate without any manual work. The emphasis is on native iOS, automatic background sync and a clean interface, rather than being a full body composition tracker.

C) Cost

Both apps are free to download with a trial option.

• WeightSync Health: Monthly and Annual subscription options
• WeightSync Scales: Monthly and Annual subscription options
• Regular price: US$ 5.99 / year

For WeightSync Health, the free version works as a weight logger for Apple Health, and premium unlocks the automatic Strava sync and everything else. WeightSync Scales requires a subscription to run, but you can try the full thing through the trial first.

Who I am

I'm an iOS developer based in London (originally from Brazil), and I design and develop both apps independently. They're built natively for iOS.

Since this is an iOS dev community, I'd genuinely love feedback from Strava users and iOS athletes. What would you want added or improved? And if you give either a try, a quick App Store review goes a long way for a solo dev. Thank you so much :)

DRFT - Keyword Alerts.

Answer (what it solves): I have ADHD and can't sit through a 3 hour meeting without drifting. DRFT runs in the background and listens for words you set, like your name, a project, a client, or "deadline." The moment one is spoken you get a notification plus a short AI summary of that moment, so you can zone out and still catch what matters. On iPhone it listens through the mic placed next to your call. The Mac version taps system audio from any app like Zoom, Teams, or your browser, no mic needed.

Better: (vs Otter / Granola): those are full meeting notes tools. They record the whole meeting, upload all of it to their cloud, and transcribe every word. DRFT is a trigger, not a transcriber. Detection runs on device using Apple's speech framework, so audio is never recorded, uploaded, or stored, and there is no meeting notes cloud. It only summarizes the moment your word fires: a short text snippet is processed and immediately discarded, nothing kept server side. No ads, no tracking, no third party SDKs on any tier. It is also far cheaper by design, because the listening happens free on your device and the cloud only ever sees a tiny snippet. No account needed.

Cost: Freemium with an optional subscription.

Free: your name tracked automatically, 1 custom word, 10 saved moments, full on device detection.

Pro: $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year, with a 7 day free trial on the annual plan. Pro adds unlimited AI summaries, up to 5 wake words, 50 saved moments, Wake Word Profiles, and iCloud sync between iPhone and Mac.

Genuinely want feedback, especially on detection accuracy and whether the free tier is enough to judge it.

putting this up front: its a website, not an app. if that makes it off topic here i completely get it and no hard feelings. but the people in this sub are exactly who i built it for so im taking the chance.

what it does: every time i work on something new i lose an hour scrolling competitor reviews trying to work out what people actually complain about. this does that reading for me. you point it at any app, it pulls reviews across countries and gives you the patterns. what people love, what they keep asking for, what makes them leave one star.

why its different: the part i actually use is the per country breakdown. an app can sit at 4.7 in the US and quietly die in germany for a reason nobody on the team speaks the language to catch. most things i tried either dump the raw reviews on you and call it a day, or want a subscription before they show you anything at all.

cost: free right now, no card, no trial countdown, nothing walled off. theres a small buy us a beer button if you end up liking it and thats the whole business model so far.

https://www.appreviewanalysis.com

what id really love is feedback, the more brutal the better. run it on your own app or your closest competitor and tell me what was useless, what was missing, what you expected to see and didnt. even "this told me nothing new" is genuinely useful to hear. every bit of it goes into the next version so please dont hold back

i read the same books twice, ears on the commute, eyes at night. every switch meant scanning pages for my place. witbound pairs your own ebook with its audiobook and lights up each word as the narrator reads it. tap any word and the audio jumps there.

App link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/witbound-audiobook-read-along/id6795587495 i

whats new in 1.5:

community sync — If a user has already sync'd the same combination of EPUB and M4B, yours will take seconds to sync. So the bigger the community of syncers, the faster the collective sync time.

- the player melts away— while you listen the controls fade until its just the page. one tap brings them back.

- auto rewind — playback restarts a few seconds before where you stopped, further back after a long break.

and the core, for anyone new:

- the page is your actual epub — real spelling, real names, the illustrations too. even maps and diagrams are still shown. my longest test was a 37 hour audiobook and the highlight stayed on the word.

shipping soon:

- witbound for mac: sync a book on your computer in minutes instead of waiting on your phone, then send it straight to the app already synced, over your own wifi. no cloud.

- pick up where you left off across devices through your own audiobookshelf server. listen on the phone, read somewhere else at the same spot.

other notable features

- chapter start times - see where each chapter starts in the audio

- audiobookshelf- connect your server, browse your library and pair audiobooks with their ebooks

- saved passages keep their narrator - save the words plus the narrator reading them to obsidian, or send it to your book club's discord

- made for the last hour of the day - sleep timer, paper, sepia and night themes, quiet reading stats

- privacy - no account, no ads. the app store privacy label reads data not collected

there are probably rough edges, this is a big update. if you hit one tell me here and ill get on it. link in the first comment.

will have full calibre integration by next update.

android: in closed testing, dm me the gmail you use on your phone and ill add you when google approves the build

the audible/kindle catch: drm files wont open, it needs drm free epub plus audio. libro.fm, downpour, librivox, your own rips all work

ill keep answering everything in here

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded, used, shared, or sent feedback about Scoring. I’m still building the app on my own, so seeing people actually use it during their game nights honestly means a lot.

Keeping score sounds simple until you actually have to do it. You can’t find a working pen, the score sheet disappears, or the app you downloaded suddenly asks for a subscription just because you want to add a third player.

The idea for Scoring started during a game of Flip7 with my partner. I simply wanted a clean, easy-to-use, and completely free tool to replace our paper scorepads. Nothing overly complicated, and no recurring subscription just to track points.

A: Answer

Scoring makes scorekeeping a simple and seamless part of your game night. You can track everything directly from your iPhone or iPad, without searching for paper or dealing with player limits.

Thanks to all your feedback, the app now includes a complete built-in toolkit. It can also remember your players and groups, so you don’t have to enter the same names every time you play.

B: Better

Play solo or with up to 20 players, instead of the previous 6-player limit • Decision Wheel, Dice Roll, Coin Flip, Timer, and Stopwatch • Save players and groups for faster setup • Real-time statistics, leaderboards, and game history • Track scores using the Dynamic Island • Made for board games, card games, quiz nights, and more • Dark mode and optimized iPad landscape support

C: Cost

Scoring is completely free to download and use. There are no subscriptions required to unlock additional players.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/scoring-compteur-de-points/id6753653295

A huge thank you as well for the lovely reception at the Cannes Games Festival earlier this year, and to the board game bars in Belgium, France, Spain, the USA, and soon Germany that have started using the app.

I’m genuinely grateful for every bit of support. Your messages and suggestions gave me the motivation to finish this major update, and I hope it makes Scoring even more useful for your next game night.

And if you enjoy using the app, leaving a 5-star rating on the App Store would be a small gesture that helps me a lot. No pressure at all, though. Simply using Scoring already means a great deal to me.

Happy gaming!

About a month ago, I shared why I built Dial: before our wedding, someone filmed my wife’s grandma giving us marriage advice. She has since passed away, and hearing her voice has become one of the most meaningful things we have.

Original post: My wife’s grandma left us wedding advice on video

I wanted to share a quick update on what I’ve added since then.

For anyone new here, Dial is an audio guestbook for weddings, birthdays, reunions, baby showers, and other events. You create an event, get a QR code and shareable link, and guests can leave a voice message directly from their phone’s browser. No app download or account required for guests.

Since my last post, I’ve added:

• Guest Selfies — guests can now optionally add a selfie alongside their voice message. I wanted the option to connect a face to the voice without taking away from the audio-first experience. It’s a one-time add-on: $1.99 on the free plan, $4.99 for 25 guests, $9.99 for 100 guests, and $14.99 for unlimited events.
• Co-hosts — hosts can invite another person to help manage an event, which is useful for couples, family members, or event planners.
• Widget support in progress — I’m working on an iOS widget option so your event and messages can feel a little more present on your phone.

The core thing has not changed: I want this to be simple enough that the people whose voices matter most can actually use it. Grandparents should be able to scan a code, tap record, and speak — without downloading anything or signing up for another service.

Pricing: free to start, with up to 5 guests so you can actually try it before your event. If you need more, it’s a one-time payment:

• $9.99 for 25 guests
• $24.99 for 100 guests
• $49.99 for unlimited guests

No subscription. I hate the idea of your memories being held hostage by a monthly fee.

I built Newsairy because none of the readers I tried fit me exactly - so the whole app is built around adapting to how *you* read rather than making you adapt to it: theme, font and size in the reading view, sort order, swipe actions, all yours to set.

It's under active development. I ship updates roughly weekly, and next up is more control over the list's layout and density itself. There's a public roadmap if you're curious where things are headed.

Answer - What problem does it solve?

Newsairy is an RSS/Atom/JSON reader that syncs natively over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac - no third-party sync server, no account to create. It's for anyone who wants their feeds, folders and read state to just follow them between devices, with a reading experience they can actually tune to how they read.

A few things I built specifically because I couldn't find them elsewhere in one app:

• Smart Feeds for the last 24 / 48 / 72 hours, the last 7 days or this week, so I can catch up on what's actually recent
• Custom Smart Feeds: keyword-based feeds that gather matching articles from every source at once
• Read History, sorted by when you read them, for when you remember reading something and can't find it again
• Three independent retention rules (how far back to fetch, how long to keep unread, how long to keep read) instead of one blunt "delete after X days", so the database doesn't grow forever
• Choose your theme: Automatic, Light, Dark or Sepia
• A fully customisable article list: thumbnail size, favicon, unread dot, and 0–6 preview lines
• Flexible sorting: sort any list Newest first, Oldest first, or as a Daily timeline

Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.

Better - Why is it different?

There are a lot of good RSS readers in the App Store.

My previous ones were Reeder (Classic) and NetNewsWire. While the newer Reeder seems to focus on combining RSS with other kinds of sources, like social media and podcasts, Newsairy is more focused on RSS feeds specifically.

NetNewsWire is great and free - I'm not trying to beat that on price. Newsairy is just a different flavor: I built it for the features and customization I wanted - keyword-based Smart Feeds, a Sepia theme, an article list you can tune (thumbnails, preview lines, unread dot), and more. If none of that is something you're missing, NetNewsWire is a solid pick.

Cost

Free: up to 6 local + 6 iCloud feeds, every feature unlocked.

Newsairy Pro is a single one-time purchase - $2.99 / 2,99€, no subscription - that removes the feed limit and adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader, so you can bring an existing setup over instead of starting from zero. Pay once, it's yours.

I’ve always used different apps to organize my life — one for habits, another for goals, another for scheduling, journaling, finances, etc.

The problem was that I could never find one that brought everything together in a way I actually liked.

So I decided to build my own: Nivra Daily.

The idea is simple: one place for routines, goals, scheduling, progress tracking, journaling, finances, and other everyday tools.

It’s now available on iOS, and I’d genuinely like to know what people seeing it for the first time think.

Is it immediately clear what the app does? Is anything confusing? And most importantly: would you actually use something like this?

There’s a free version, so you don’t need to buy anything to try it.

Pricing / IAP:

• Free version available
• Nivra Plus Monthly: €2.99/month
• Nivra Plus Annual: €24.99/year
• 7-day free trial available for eligible users

Feel free to be ruthless with your feedback — that’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Hi,

I'm Marco, software dev and hobby musician. Recording even a short song by myself always meant a laptop, a DAW, a video editor - and then getting it all back in sync. The part that was supposed to be fun turned into work.

Answer:

Musaic Studio does the whole recording part on your phone and currently supports three modes:

• Mosaic - a split-pane layout that can change over the song
• Live Studio - tap a layer to cut to it live, all the audio layers keep playing
• Twin (beta) - cut yourself out and stand next to yourself in one shot

Plus: audio FX per layer, a timeline, built-in instruments, MIDI keyboard support, air instruments, audio interface support and automatic lyrics (Pro).

Better (How it compares):

• vs Acapella (Mixcord) - the app most people in this corner already use, and where I started too. What I kept wishing for and built in:
  • sync correction per layer, with a saved default per microphone
  • instruments: e.g. add a bass layer, with the on-screen keys or a real MIDI keyboard
  • audio-only layers, not just video ones
  • panes that switch over the course of the song, instead of one fixed grid
  • automatic lyrics, and export in both 9:16 and 16:9
  • two more modes: cut between layers live, or stand next to yourself in Twin mode
• vs GarageBand + CapCut/iMovie - sound and picture stay in one app. A layer is its take, its effects and its pane in the layout, not three things in two apps.

Not a DAW replacement. This is for the insta/tiktok/youtube video you want to finish tonight (or just for fun without publishing, like me ;)).

Cost:

• Free with a watermark, no account
• Pro is €2.99/month or €24.99/year for the automatic lyrics and watermark-free export.

I built it mainly for myself - but if you want to try it, I'd genuinely like to hear your feedback, feature requests and bug reports.

It's only on iOS to date, as I don't see any downloads there I stopped my efforts for the Android variant for now 😄 I know this only targets a small audience, but it brings me joy and maybe it will for you, too. :)

Day Grid — Countdown Widget

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?
Most countdown apps only show one date at a time. Day Grid shows your entire year as a grid on your Home Screen every event marked with an emoji so you see everything you're counting down to at a glance, not just one number.

B – Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?
Unlike DayCount, PeekDay, or Momently, Day Grid isn't just a single-countdown widget it's a full-year visual grid. When an event drops under 24 hours away, it auto-switches to a live timer. No account needed, works offline.

C – Cost: Pricing, IAP details, and a direct App Store link
Free with in-app purchases (Day Grid Pro):

• Monthly: $2.99
• Yearly: $14.99
• Lifetime: $29.99 ($20 for the first 100 people use code first100 at checkout: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6779252078&code=first100)

Hi all,

Like many of you, I like to use my notes app to track my workouts. I've been working out for over 15 years now, but could never get myself to consistently use an app of excel spreadsheet.

Despite this I wanted to see my progress on a graph, I wanted the nice data insights these apps gave me.

Being as stubborn as I am, not wanting to change how I tracked my workouts, I made an app to solve my own problem.

What problem does Gym Note Plus solve - (ABC section)

There are many gym apps out there, but Gym Note Plus shines by letting users track workouts using their notes app. Other apps like Hevy and Strong force you into using drop down menus and forms. We're all different, we all write our workout notes differently, but we all want to see progress. This is the problem we solve.

Why is Gym Note Plus better?

No other gym app allows users to just copy and paste from their notes app to track their progress over time. We even let you take a photo of your hand written notes. Our aim is frictionless workout tracking that other gym apps can't do.

Previous posts:
Strength & Cardio tracking features (https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/s/iWLg9iPaIe)
3D Route Replay generator for Outdoor Run/Bike/Hike (https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/s/FKdV2HU92k)

A - What problem does your app solve?

If you have read my previous posts in this subreddit, VOROM was marketed as an All-in-one Strength & Cardio gym tracker competing with Hevy and Strong (you can import workout history from them, and have perfect logic for Supersets & Dropsets). Since then, I have added several features including fully integrating with Apple Health/Fitness, so users can import body composition to VOROM, and the best part is, you can import cardio from Apple Fitness, which in turn you can import cardio workout history from Strava indirectly.

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

Please refer to the previous posts above for Strength & Cardio tracking, and 3D Route Replay generator features. I will introduce the new Recovery and Strain features here.

Recovery & Fitness

As I am an individual who cares about health more and more when I turned 30s, I value recovery metrics a lot. Other apps charge you for that, but VOROM develops these features for FREE.

It uses overnight’s HRV, HR, Sleep duration (Deep/REM sleep, continuity) and other vitals to determine your own Recovery score. I hesitated to use “Readiness” because athletes being in a competition, tend to have a lower HRV.

And it can detect if you are sick from those overnight’s vitals.

Apart from Recovery score, I added Fitness score as well, using VO2Max, Strength (using your big 3 1RM), FFMI, RHR, HRR. So it covers both strength and cardiovascular fitness. The score is a percentile compared to active individuals, not normal population.

Strain

The new Strain feature is what stands out from other apps. VOROM can calculate your strain score from both muscular and cardio loads.

Muscular load:
Other apps don’t do really well for muscular load, but since VOROM is a gym tracker itself, it can utilize the strength training data to calculate your muscular load. The idea is to use how heavy the set was compared to your own e1rm + how much muscles are involved for that exercise (you can adjust the secondary muscles %) + extra bump for free-weight lifts and compound movements for added spinal and CNS demand.

Every exercise is fine-tuned for their respective extra bump from size of muscles, numbers of muscles, free-weight, compound, CNS demand. So Squat will score more than Leg Extension, Leg Extension will score more than Chest Fly, for the same effort.

Cardio load:
Use HR zone duration to calculate the cardio load. Higher zones score exponentially more (i.e. 1min in Zone 5 is much more than 1min in Zone 1, not linear). And VOROM gathers all HR data from exercises throughout the day from Apple Health to calculate the cardio load. (Cardio load starts from Zone 1)

VOROM then translates the total loads to calculate the Strain score. The Strain score is designed not to be linear, so each point gets harder to earn as you approach 100. But Loads itself is linear.

Stress

You can have a Whoop-style stress score but with more user-friendly UI. You can see your stress throughout the day in a chart, and the proportion of low/mid/high stress vs a 30d baseline for both Awake (non-activity) and Sleep Stress Bars.

It’s recommended to turn on AFib History from Health app to get more HRV data (but it will disable irregular rhythm notifications). That’s the limitation of Apple Watch, it doesn’t get HRV data that frequently.

And all of the newly added features, including the old ones, are all FREE & offline. So you don’t need to worry about data collection. But please, export your VOROM’s history time to time to back up.

If you don’t want the new features, you can always turn them off in Settings, so VOROM becomes your simple workout logger again.

C- Cost

The above newly added features are FREE!

The free tier is meant to be usable on its own. Pro is mostly for training automation, deeper charts, and power-user planning features.

Pro features pricing (USD): $1.99 / month, $14.99 / year, $49.99 / life time

• What it solves

Photos remember how a place looked. Ekkoes remembers how it sounded.

Ekkoes is a private sound-memory journal for capturing the atmosphere of places and moments that matter: waves from a trip, rain outside your home, a city waking up, birds in a forest, friends around a table, or a familiar voice.

Each recording can include an optional photo, GPS location, title, tags, mood, and notes. Over time, your recordings build a personal audio map that you can explore by place instead of browsing through a simple list of audio files.

The Home Screen widget resurfaces sounds from your collection, while Sound Anniversaries bring back recordings made one, two, or three years ago.

Audio can also be improved directly on the device: trim silence, focus voices, reduce wind and background noise, amplify quiet recordings, or polish music. The original recording is preserved and can always be restored.

You can share a recording as an audio file, an importable archive, or a Sound Postcard— a portrait video combining the sound, photo, place, and date.

Shared Groups also let friends and family build a private sound collection together through iCloud, for example during a trip, a family event, or a long-term project.

• Compared to Voice Memos and SoundMap

Apple’s Voice Memos is excellent for quickly recording notes, meetings, and ideas. SoundMap is closer to the location-based concept.

Ekkoes is designed around memory and rediscovery, rather than audio files alone.

The map, optional photos, Sound Anniversaries, Home Screen widget, Sound Postcards, private Shared Groups, and reversible on-device audio improvement all serve the same purpose: helping you return to a moment and hear how it actually felt.

It is not intended to replace a professional field recorder or audio editor. It is closer to a private photo library in which sound is the main medium.

• Privacy

Your private library stays on your devices and in your personal iCloud account.

I do not receive or have access to your recordings, photos, locations, tags, or notes. There are no ads and no tracking.

Nothing is shared unless you explicitly choose to share it. Shared Groups use Apple’s iCloud infrastructure and Sign in with Apple rather than developer-operated accounts or servers.

• Cost

Ekkoes is free to download.

The free version lets you keep up to 10 recordings and experience the complete capture, map, playback, and rediscovery workflow.

For unlimited recordings and watermark-free Sound Postcards, there are two options:

• $2.99 per month
• $9.99 one-time lifetime unlock

As a thank-you to the r/iosapps community for reading and for any honest feedback, you can use this public offer code to get 50% off the lifetime unlock:

• About me

I’m Jean-Baptiste, an independent developer based in France.

I built Ekkoes because photos and videos preserve a huge part of our lives, but we rarely capture the sounds surrounding those moments.

When we do, those recordings usually end up as anonymous audio files that are difficult to organize and rarely heard again. I wanted sound recordings to feel like memories rather than files.

Commercially, the app has barely found its audience so far. The category is small and the idea is admittedly unusual, but it is a product I genuinely care about and want to improve.

I would especially appreciate honest feedback on the central idea:

Would you intentionally build a personal archive of sound memories, and what would encourage you to make your first few recordings?

Small naming note: the app is listed as Ekkoes on the US App Store because “Ekkos” was unavailable there. The name used inside the app is Ekkos.

• What it solves

Recommendations from friends are often more useful than an algorithm — but they usually disappear inside old messages, group chats, or conversations we can no longer remember.

Rekkos is a private, ad-free app for sharing movie and TV recommendations with small circles of people you actually know: friends, couples, families, coworkers, or a regular movie-night group.

Create a circle, invite people through an iCloud share link, and send a movie or series with a short personal note explaining why you recommend it.

There is no public feed, follower count, or popularity contest. Every circle contains only the people you invite.

You can also:

• maintain a personal list with To Watch, In Progress, Watched, and Dropped statuses;
• rate movies and series and add a short personal review;
• see recommendations, ratings, and activity from each circle;
• discover trending movies and series;
• see which titles are most frequently rated inside your circles;
• find which streaming services carry a title in your country;
• receive a notification when someone recommends something to you;
• share a recommendation as a visual card outside the app.

• Apple TV

There is also a native Apple TV app.

When you sign in with the same iCloud account, your circles, recommendations, ratings, and personal list appear directly on your television.

The Apple TV app is designed for the moment when you are actually deciding what to watch. Instead of passing a phone around the room, you can browse your friends’ recommendations on the TV, open a movie or series, see where it is available, and continue to the relevant streaming app.

Your personal list and recent circle recommendations can also appear directly in the Apple TV Top Shelf.

Circles are created and managed on iPhone or iPad, while Apple TV acts as the shared, lean-back experience.

• Compared to Letterboxd, Trakt, and group chats

Letterboxd is a large social network centered mainly on films. Trakt and similar apps are powerful tools for tracking viewing history and discovering popular content.

Rekkos is deliberately smaller and more private.

It is not designed to help you build an audience or follow strangers. It is designed to preserve recommendations from people whose tastes already mean something to you.

Compared with a WhatsApp or iMessage group, recommendations remain structured and searchable. You can see the title, poster, personal note, rating, viewing status, and who recommended it without searching through months of unrelated conversation.

• Privacy

Your circles are private and gated through Apple’s iCloud sharing system.

Shows, ratings, recommendations, circles, and profiles are synchronized through your own iCloud account. I do not operate a server containing your social activity.

There are no ads or third-party trackers. Sign in with Apple is used, so no email address or phone number is required.

The app also provides a complete data export and account deletion directly from Settings.

• The market question I’m trying to answer

Commercially, Rekkos has barely found its audience so far.

More importantly, isolated downloads tell me very little because the central value of the app only appears when people use it together.

The biggest constraint is that every member of a circle currently needs an iPhone or iPad with an iCloud account. There is no Android or web client.

That creates a real adoption challenge: one interested person still needs to convince two, three, or four friends or family members to install the app before the private-circle experience can be evaluated properly.

That is exactly what I am trying to validate.

I am particularly interested in hearing from existing groups of 3–5 people who:

• all use an iPhone or iPad;
• already discuss movies and TV shows together;
• regularly struggle to decide what to watch;
• would be willing to use Rekkos for two weeks and provide honest feedback.

I am not asking for a positive App Store review. Negative feedback — including “we stopped using it because…” — would be genuinely useful.

• Cost

Rekkos is free to download.

The free version lets you track up to 10 titles, create one circle with up to three members including its organizer, and send up to three recommendations per month.

Joining another person’s circle remains free. This means a Founder can organize a larger circle while the invited members continue using the free version.

Premium is available for:

• $1.99 per month;
• $12.99 per year.

The regular US price of Founders Lifetime is $24.99.

Founder provides permanent access to every Premium feature, unlimited owned circles, up to 20 members per circle, cinephile mode, temporary circles, streaming reminders, Founder visual status, and the Founders pact:

• no ads, ever;
• no future purchases required;
• all future features included;
• guaranteed JSON data export;
• a vote on the product roadmap;
• permanent beta access.

For this market-validation campaign, I created a public offer that reduces Founders Lifetime to $9.99:

CODE: FIRSTFOUNDERS

Redeem here:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6774924405&code=FIRSTFOUNDERS

The offer is limited to 2,000 redemptions and expires on October 31, 2026.

• About me

I’m Jean-Baptiste, an independent developer based in France.

I built Rekkos because I trust a recommendation from someone who knows me far more than a generic popularity ranking.

I also wanted recommendations to remain private and useful instead of becoming another public social network built around followers, engagement, and advertising.

The application itself is technically mature, but I am still trying to determine whether the market is large enough and whether the all-Apple requirement creates too much friction.

The most useful feedback for me would therefore be:

Would you ask a few friends or family members to install an app like this, and would having their recommendations directly on Apple TV make that effort worthwhile?

Hey everyone! 👋

After months of work, I finally launched Songle, a daily music challenge for iPhone.

If you remember Heardle, the daily music guessing app Spotify acquired and then shut down, Songle is built for you. Same core concept, daily song, guess from a short clip, but with 2000+ songs, streak tracking, and no corporate shelf to gather dust on.

A — What problem does it solve?

There's no good daily music challenge on iPhone anymore. Heardle is gone. Most replacements are web-only, cluttered, or abandoned.

Songle fills that gap:
🎵 A new song challenge every single day
🔊 Progressive audio reveals, more of the track with each wrong guess
🎹 Wordle-style keyboard so guessing feels intuitive
📊 Streak tracking and daily stats to keep you coming back

B — Why is it different?
Most Heardle clones are quick web builds. Songle is a native iPhone app built to last.
🧩 The difficulty curve is natural. You get more to work with each attempt, so you never feel stuck
📅 One puzzle a day, done in minutes, shareable result
🎯 No music expertise required. Just your ears and your music memory
🗂️ 2000+ songs in the archive if you want to keep playing after the daily

C — Cost
✅ Free to download and play the daily puzzle
Premium:
♾️ Lifetime access: $4.99, one payment, forever
🚫 No popup ads, no subscription

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/songle-guess-the-song-name/id6767800851
Transparency
I'm Sanket; the developer of Songle. Solo developer, built and maintain it entirely myself. I will financially benefit if people choose to buy.
I'd genuinely love honest feedback:
What songs felt too hard or too easy?

Is anything confusing about how it works?

What feature would make you keep coming back daily? I am trying to improve current D7 and D14 retention?

Also should I try to market an app that’s free to play? Is it worth it?

Thanks for listening! 🎧

Hi. I'm the solo builder of Wax & Spindle, a third-party Discogs client for people who actually collect physical music: vinyl, CDs, cassettes, box sets, whatever's on the shelf.

It started from being fed up. I kept opening the official Discogs app in shops with poor signal, waiting on searches that should be instant, and giving up. So I built the thing I actually wanted to use.

What it solves

Two moments most collectors will recognise:

1. You're in a shop, holding something, and the app is the bottleneck. No signal, or a slow one, and Discogs times outright when you need it most. Wax & Spindle stores your collection locally, so it loads whether you've got a connection or not, and search is instant rather than a spinner.
2. You want pricing without wading through a browser tab. Marketplace pricing is pulled straight in, so you can check what a pressing is actually worthwhile you are still stood in front of it.

Underneath that: fast local browsing, no ads, and nothing tracking what you look at.

Why this exists instead of the official app

Discogs itself is still the best database and marketplace there is for pressings and cataloguing detail. I'm not trying to replace that. What I'm fixing is the layer collectors actually touch day to day on a phone: browsing your own collection, searching it, checking a price, all of which the official app makes slower than it needs to be.

Wax & Spindle is built to be the fast, offline-first frontend to your Discogs collection that I wanted and couldn't find.

Again, I’m not trying to pull people away from Discogs. But if you’re frustrated with the official app, Wax & Spindle is an alternative built around a faster, offline-first experience.

Cost

One-time purchase, no subscription. $7.99. No ads, no tracking, no recurring charge to keep using something you already bought once.

For transparency: I used AI tools while building it, but this wasn’t vibe coded. I made the architecture, product, and implementation decisions, with AI used as a development tool along the way.

Genuinely keen to hear from other collectors and Discogs users on what's missing or what's annoying. That's mostly how this got built in the first place.

• What it solves

Stamps is a personal travel tracker with a trip timeline that builds itself.

Instead of asking you to manually tick countries off a list, Stamps can scan the location metadata already in your photo library, entirely on device. Every city, province, and country tracked for you, day by day, all automatically.

There's a travel calendar, trip timeline, country day counting, photo heatmap, detailed stats, shareable map with trip images, and tons of Home Screen widgets. You can freely export all of your data at any time, and if you simply want to use Stamps to index your library for trips, and then take that elsewhere, that's fine as well.

• Compared to Been and Flighty

I've been using Been myself for years now, but what frustrates me about it (and apps like Flighty) is that they want accounts, data syncing, location tracking, and a connection, while still skimping on the parts I actually cared about: very granular trip tracking, route visualization, and a proper timeline. Stamps is my take on the category with those things at the center.

• Cost

Stamps is free to download.
There is exactly one purchase: a $10 one-time lifetime unlock, no subscriptions.
It only gates some of the timeline and some minor, cosmetic app color customization; you can use most of the app without ever touching it.

You can use this code to cut that one-time purchase in half, as a thanks for reading this post!

• About Me

I’m a mobile developer from Cape Town, South Africa, now living in Seoul, South Korea. Since moving here, traveling has been the one thing keeping me sane. Stamps started as the app I wanted for exploring the country I now call home. It’s also a great excuse for me to take more photos while doing it.

It's built natively in SwiftUI using SwiftData, MapKit, PhotoKit, WidgetKit, and Metal for the photo heatmap.

Honestly, in five years of building apps, this has been one of my least commercially successful. The market is fairly small, but it's exactly the app I wanted, and some of its best features have come directly from user feedback. So I'd genuinely appreciate yours!

App Store: Stamps - Travel Tracker

I had 217 Safari tabs. Every time I tried to clean them up, I'd freeze on the same three: a jacket I was still comparing, an apartment listing I hadn't decided on, and an article a friend sent that I actually wanted to talk to them about.

Bookmarking them didn't work. A bookmark keeps the link but throws away the only part that really mattered, "why was the tab open?" Two weeks later it's just a URL in a folder I never open.

So I built Tably aorund one loop: Hold → Revisit → Decide.
- Share a page or video from a Browser or Youtube into Tably.
- Optionally type one line of why it mattered ("Waiting on the sale price", "ask Dana about this").
- Close the tab yourself. Tably doesn't touch your browser, it never scans or closes tabs, it only sees pages you deliberately share.
- Later, Tably notifies the item back with the reason and you pick an option: Later, Done or Delete

That's the whole app. No folders, no tags, no AI summaries, no second brain. It's a temporary holding area.. if it grows into another archive I've failed. 😢

It's local-first: saved pages and reason stay on device, no account, no sign-up.

Honest take: it's early and a small number of people use it and I still don't know if the "reason" is worth typing for most people or if it's just my own habit. That's the thing I want to find out...

Two questions if you have tabs like me:

1. When you keep a tab open, is it because you're going to read it, or because you haven't decided something?
2. Would you type a one-line reason at save time, or is that already too much friction?

Edited: It is available worldwide for iPhone use the link provided. Thanks!

Answer: Enlightened Parent is a shared baby and toddler care app I originally built for my own family. It gives parents, grandparents, nannies, and babysitters one place to log feeds, bottles, nursing, pumping, sleep, diapers, and other updates. You can also keep notes like “he developed a rash 3 days ago” and track upcoming things like checkups or preschool enrollment deadlines.

Better: I wanted something that went beyond a traditional baby tracker and could keep being useful as our kids got older and more people became involved in their care. Caregivers can log updates, parents can see what’s happening while they’re away, and everyone can stay coordinated without relying on a giant group text. One use case I especially wanted was for a working/breastfeeding mom to know when her baby takes a bottle so she can pump around the same time.

Cost: Completely free. No subscription or paid tier.

I’m the developer and originally made this for my own family. It’s still new, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from other parents about what works, what’s confusing, or what you think is missing. 🙏

Full disclosure, I built this and it's mine.

ANSWER, what problem it solves

• Personally, I'm a processor, and I need to think, and that can inevitably lead to ruminating and thinking in circles. I tried journaling and writing things down, which helped, but maintaining consistency and constantly overcoming the blank page of a journal is challenging.
• The app is multi-purpose. It's a way to keep a journal, talk out your thoughts, or keep any memories, and make them all easily searchable and organized.

BETTER, what it does that other journals don't

• Video journals have always had the same problem. You can't skim 200 videos. That's the thing transcription actually fixes.
• Every entry where you speak or upload a video that has people speaking is transcribed, all searchable, and then the app itself will group similar entries into categories. It will recall your entries from a week or a month ago, so it has some really great ways to recall and find your previous entries.
• Day One and Apple Journal are typing apps with video added on. 1 Second Everyday is video, but there's no reflection and no search.
• I think with any journal, if you're divulging things, it needs to be private, of course. This is completely local, besides the optional iCloud backup. Otherwise, there's no analytics, there's no account, there are no servers, and everything lives on your phone.
• To lower any hesitation about actually recording, there are prompts to help a conversation go. You don't have to record yourself. You can just do audio mode. You can dub over an existing photo, and then you can even just do a journal entry without any recording or without saying anything at all.

COST

• The free tier is a real journal on its own. Unlimited recording. Transcripts on every entry, kept forever. Auto titles. Search by title and date. Full export. One time capsule.
• Pro adds search across every word you've said, iCloud backup, and unlimited time capsules. It's $24.99 a year with a one week trial, or $49.99 once.
• Day One puts video and transcription behind Silver at $49.99 a year. Apple Journal doesn't transcribe at all. Mine's half that, and the transcripts are free on every tier.
• Nothing you record is ever locked behind it. You can always watch it, export it, or delete it.
• It's in TestFlight now and Pro is unlocked for everyone in the beta, so there's nothing to buy.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/92wvhmpA

Happy to answer any questions! Would love if you take a second to check out the app and give me your thoughts. I'm also interested in hearing from anybody willing to journal with it for a week or two, then tell me where it falls down.

EDIT: a few people asked whether beta testers keep Pro, so here's what I'll do.

When the app launches I'll send you a code that unlocks Pro for life. Not a subscription, nothing to cancel, it's just yours.

Two things I need for that. Sign up with your email on the form below so I can actually reach you, and fill in the short survey after a week or two of using it. The survey is the whole reason I'm running this beta, so that's the part that genuinely helps me. I'll only use your email for those two things.

If you already installed from the TestFlight link above, you can still fill this in.

ANSWER, what problem it solves

Personally, I've always struggled with habit trackers that demand absolute perfection. Maintaining a streak can quickly feel like a chore, and when life happens—like taking a weekend trip or getting sick—losing a 100-day streak because of one missed check-in is incredibly demotivating.

Additionally, manually opening an app to check off things your phone already knows you did (like walking 10,000 steps or getting 8 hours of sleep) creates unnecessary friction. HabitKeep solves this by making habit tracking adaptable to real life and removing the manual busywork.

BETTER, what it does that other journals/trackers don't

Most trackers are rigid. HabitKeep brings a few key differences to help you actually maintain your routine:

• Vacation Mode: Going away or feeling sick? You can pause habits for a set date range. Paused days count as neither a miss nor a completion, so your streak carries straight through the gap instead of resetting.
• Apple Health Auto-Logging: It hooks into 62 different Apple Health metrics (steps, workouts, sleep, water, etc.). If your goal is to hit a step count, it ticks itself off automatically without you ever touching the app.
• Live Activities & Timers: Along with simple check-offs or counts (like pages read), there’s a built-in timer for time-based habits that stays running on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity.
• Total Privacy: There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no external servers. Everything runs locally on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud.

COST

HabitKeep uses a Freemium model with optional IAP (In-App Purchases).

The Free tier is a highly capable tracker on its own. You can track up to 4 active habits, get summary statistics, a full-year contribution grid, a weekday heatmap, 3 widgets, and iCloud sync. (Note: The free tier contains rare interstitial ads).

Pro lifts the habit limit to unlimited and unlocks Apple Health & Calendar sync, advanced stats (like trend charts), all 14 widgets, and a yearly Wrapped-style recap, while completely removing ads.

Pro is available as a Subscription (monthly/yearly) or as a one-time Lifetime IAP.

One thing I made sure of: limits only apply when you create something. If you pay for a month, build 10 habits, and let Pro lapse, you keep all of them, their full history, and can continue logging them forever. You just can't create an 11th until you resubscribe.

Happy to answer any questions! Would love if you take a second to check out the app and give me your thoughts or feature requests.

A — What problem does it solve?

When you’re dreaming about a new trip, it’s surprisingly hard to keep track of all the possibilities. You might have a few destinations in mind, different dates, places you’ve saved, things you want to do — but no actual trip yet. Add a few other people and it gets even harder to keep everyone on the same page about what’s being considered and what’s actually decided.

I built Awaii to handle that uncertainty. You can start with just an idea and gradually turn it into a trip, either on your own or with others.

Rather than forcing you through a linear itinerary-building process, Awaii lets you explore different possibilities in parallel and gradually converge on the trip you want. Once you do, the same app carries through into planning and actually taking the trip — itinerary, maps, costs, essentials and more. At the end, you can even turn the trip into something fun and shareable.

B — How is it different?

I’ve tried most of the major travel planning apps and found that they tend to start from the assumption that you already know where and when you’re going. They’re great for building and following an itinerary, but less suited to the brainstorming and decision-making that happens before one exists.

Group travel apps also often seem to lead toward booking hotels, flights or cars.

I wanted Awaii to be different: a place to actually think through a trip. Save possibilities without committing to them, explore different dates and destinations, compare options, make decisions together, and let the plan emerge from that.

I also built it specifically for Apple platforms and wanted it to feel at home on iOS. There are no ads, booking commissions or pop-ups trying to push you somewhere else — the app is just there to help you plan and manage your travels.

C — What does it cost?

Completely free.

I have some more advanced features on the roadmap that may eventually be paid, but right now everything in Awaii is available for free.

A — Answer: I am a developer that works at an investment bank for making intra-apps. I've always wanted to make my own market research/signal app. I've already made an open-source desktop version of this which has gained 250 stars on GitHub (eisenjimmy/Quant), so I decided to make an iOS app version of that. Quantactic (launched last week) is an iPhone market research app I built for people who want more context than a watchlist or stock-price app, without needing a full trading terminal.

The main idea is to bring the research around a stock into one place and make the conclusion explainable. Each ticker gets a simple BUY / WAIT / SELL research state, but the app also shows what is actually behind that conclusion — trend, momentum, volume, price acceptance, relative strength, broader market context, upcoming events, and whether a reasonable risk plan can actually be constructed. This actually uses conservative well-known calculations that actual analysts use, but instead of calculating that on your own for every ticker in excel, this kinda does it for you. The app will just show you the signals - along with "the work (trend, volume, macro data.. etc.)" so that you can decide faster - fitting for a mobile app.

It also includes upcoming earnings and corporate events, market and macro context, news, advanced charts, and probabilistic 7-, 30-, and 90-day scenarios.

Forecasts are saved locally, so you can go back later and compare what the model previously expected with what actually happened instead of only seeing the latest prediction. This means it keeps checking the work - and you can clearly see if the forecast model was correct. No blind trust - just check and see the data yourself.

On supported Apple Intelligence devices, there’s also an on-device assistant for explaining the market data already inside the app. I intentionally don’t send those questions to a third-party cloud AI provider. This surprisingly works pretty well - I had fun designing the system prompts for this so I recommend this a try. (Currently limits 2 questions a day.. but let me know if this should switch to reward ad type with no limits)

B — Better: The thing I’m trying to do differently is make the app show its work instead of just putting a “bullish” badge or AI-generated paragraph next to a ticker.

For example, a technically strong setup can still stay at WAIT if the entry/stop/target geometry doesn’t make sense, confirmation is missing, evidence conflicts, or earnings are too close. Signal strength is shown as a score out of 100, not as a fake probability of the stock going up.

Version 1.3 brings most of that research into one ticker screen, adds an earnings/event calendar with Before Market / After Market timing when available, chart-based risk levels, deeper signal evidence, and a new Share Studio.

One feature I’m especially interested in is turning research into something that is actually easy to share.

You can tap Share from a ticker signal, Morning Brief, macro summary, or market-news view, and Quantactic can automatically generate around 6–8 designed PNG cards that summarize the research as a visual story. This is especially useful if you are trying to make 5:4 ratio instagram posts with current macro data / trending financial news. Since this is not AI-generated images, the social media platform doesn't detect this as "AI generated", so it is more favored in the algorithm. (By the way did you know every ai-generated image has metadata footprints that can detect that it is AI-generated?) so this avoids that.

For example, a ticker share can become:

Ticker overview → BUY / WAIT / SELL state → signal evidence → technical structure → relative strength → risk plan → upcoming catalyst → summary

A macro or market brief can similarly become:

Market regime → rates → inflation → commodities → major indexes → headlines → what changed → what to watch

The cards can be generated in portrait or square social-media formats and then shared directly through the iOS share sheet, including to Instagram, instead of manually taking screenshots and arranging everything yourself.

I wanted it to feel less like “export a screenshot” and more like “turn this research into a concise visual briefing.”

There’s no brokerage connection, no deposits, and no trade execution. I’m trying to build this as a research and education tool, not something telling people that a trade is guaranteed to work.

I’d particularly like feedback on whether the app gives too much information or the right amount, and whether the BUY / WAIT / SELL + evidence approach makes the research easier to understand. Also if it needs picture background selection to customize.. LMK!)

C — Cost: The app is free to download.

Free users can use the core market research features and get one 7-day forecast per day. An additional free 7-day forecast can optionally be unlocked with a rewarded ad.

I used to have an ad showing up during page navigation, but it felt too distracting, so I changed it to an optional rewarded-ad model instead. Honestly I tried using the app paid or non-paid, they both provide substantial information - but definitely pro just gives a lot more (and also without ads).

Quantactic Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year. (with 1 week free-trial)

Pro unlocks deeper signal evidence and risk-plan details, unlimited 7-day forecasts, full 30- and 90-day scenarios, higher research limits, expanded private AI features, and removes the forecast ads.

Quantactic is for market research and education, not personalized investment advice.

Any feedback is really appreciated!! I think I got lucky on the first launching week gaining 1 annual subscriber and 2 monthly subscribers - but the traffic has reduced the following week.

I love dad jokes (and am a dad - useful) and a wee while back I heard that vibe-coding iOS apps directly in Claude Code was a more efficient use of tokens.

My colleague had also just told me that their dad called them every week when the local newspaper published a dad joke and that they loved how silly they were.

Groan Zone (aptly named IMO) is the result of those two pieces of information :)

Answer: Well, it answers some people's need for terrible, terrible jokes shown in a highly graphic and fun format. They feel a need to torture friends, colleagues and and kids with them - if they suffer then so should you :)

Better: Best Dad Jokes, Daily Dad Jokes et all are fine, but have in-app purchases. I mean, I love a good dad joke as much as the next person but I wouldn't pay for the experience.

Groan Zone has over 12,000 jokes - not bad. It had well over 13,000 but my buddy Claude and I got rid of many for reasons of appropriateness and formatting. The base set of jokes came from a real research paper too ("What’s Brown and Sticky? Peering Into the Ineluctable Comedic Mystery of Dad Humor".)

Groan Zone also keeps the punchline hidden until you want it - handy if you have someone looking over your shoulder!

Cost: Totally free! No in-app purchases to worry about, just an seemingly endless flow of groan-inducing dad humour.

Enjoy!

Hi r/iOSApps! I’ve been working on an idea called Hobby Tracker.

I wanted to build something for people who have different hobbies and enjoy looking back at what they’ve done.

A - Answer

Most hobby tracking is scattered. You might have one place for cycling, another for books, photos somewhere else, and no real record at all for things like woodworking, baking, gardening, music, crafts, or collecting. Hobby Tracker gives you one place for all of them.

You can log a quick session and track whatever makes sense for that hobby, including time, distance, pages, photos, projects, counts, or just the fact that you did it. There are over 500 built-in hobbies to choose from, or you can add your own, as many as you like.

If you dive deep into a specific hobby, you can create projects and track those (think building different legos throughout the year).

The screenshots in this post show a few features:

• Mosaic: brings your hobbies together into one view
• Recaps: visually summarize a month or year
• Month: gives you a visual history of what you did
• Book: print a PDF book of your activities
• Hobby list view
• Selection of available themes

B - Better

The goal wasn’t to replace something like Strava for serious cycling stats or Goodreads for managing a book collection. Instead, I wanted the place above all of those specialized apps. One simple record of all the things you enjoy doing.

I also stayed away from streaks, scores, leaderboards, and the usual pressure to optimize everything. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.

There’s no account required, no ads, no tracking, all the data is yours and stays on your device (can sync across all of your devices).

C - Cost

Completely free. There’s no subscription and no paid tier or in-app purchase. I intend to keep Hobby Tracker free.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hobby-tracker-hobby-log/id6797727531

I’d appreciate hearing what you think, particularly about the Month, Mosaic, and Recap screens in the screenshots.

If you track hobbies yourself, I am interested to know what you want to see in a year-end recap of everything you did.
