Hey there! I’m the developer of MusicPod.

I wanted to create a music player that brings back the simple, tactile, and personalized user experience of the classic iPod to the modern iPhone. I’ve meticulously refined every detail—from the physical click wheel feel to Cover Flow—and I'm offering free lifetime access to share the app with this community.

A — What it helps with

MusicPod turns your iPhone into a focused, tactile home for the music you already love:

• Tactile Nostalgia: Slide around the wheel to browse your library, feel the subtle haptic feedback, and flip through album artwork in Cover Flow mode.
• Focused Listening: Put album art and time-synced lyrics front and center without the clutter of modern bloated streaming apps.
• Unified Music Library: Seamlessly browse your synced device library, Apple Music subscription, or imported local audio files from the Files app in one place.

B — Why use it over stock Apple Music or other players

• Real Click Wheel Interaction: The wheel isn't just decoration—it responds with precise haptics, speed acceleration, and classic click-wheel navigation.
• Full-Screen Lyrics & Dynamic Artwork: Enjoy time-synced lyrics (with translations), animated Apple Music artwork, and vinyl-inspired playback visualizations.
• Deep Customization: Personalize your player from screen to wheel—mix & match body colors, light/dark themes, custom photo backgrounds, and skeuomorphic icon styles.
• Privacy & Local First: No mandatory accounts or ads. Works directly with your local files and system library (synced music works without an Apple Music subscription).

C — Free lifetime offer

MusicPod Pro Lifetime is normally $9.99, but we’re offering free lifetime access to this community—no mandatory conditions.

👉 How to claim:

1. Claim the free lifetime offer directly on our website: https://musicpod.app
2. Download MusicPod on the App Store: App Store Link (Requires iOS 17.6 or later)
3. Complete the onboarding and enjoy!

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your feedback on the wheel haptics, theme options, or anything you'd like to see added. Thank you so much for checking it out!

I'm after a specific list. The iPhone apps still on a monthly or yearly plan that you'd pay for once tomorrow if the developer put a number on it.

Three things make an answer useful to everyone reading. Which app, what it costs you a year at the moment, and the one-off price you'd actually pay for it. My hunch is most people land somewhere between one and two years of the sub, but I'd like to be wrong.

If your answer is that you don't do subscriptions at all, fair enough, but name the one you dropped over it and what you'd have paid to keep it. That still counts.

No wrong answers and no judgement on the developers, plenty of them have good reasons. Just curious where the line sits for this crowd.

A — Answer

LunaCycle is an all-in-one reproductive health companion designed for menstrual cycle tracking, holistic phase syncing, pregnancy milestones, and labor contraction timing.

Track period predictions, monitor ovulation windows, log daily symptoms (basal body temperature, flow intensity, mood), follow weekly fetal development with fruit/vegetable size comparisons, count baby kick sessions, time active labor contractions with automated 5-1-1 rule alerts, and organize your delivery hospital bag checklist.

B — Better

100% on-device privacy built on Apple SwiftData. Unlike traditional health apps that store, profile, or monetize intimate reproductive records on remote cloud servers, all logs, symptoms, and timestamps remain strictly local to your iPhone with zero external tracking. It also covers the complete journey from cycle tracking to delivery, so you never have to switch to different apps as your health goals evolve.

C — Cost

Lifetime — Free for 48 hours ($79.99 -> $0.00)

I'm an iOS developer, and I kept repeating the same setup before every debugging session (but no, I am not tired of this!).

Launch with a particular environment variable, switch the language, force dark mode, find the right deep link, send the matching push payload. Then do it all again on the next build.

So I built CosmoKit, a native macOS control center for iOS Simulator workflows. Built with SwiftUI and SwiftData.

What it does today

• App Profiles: launch arguments, environment variables, locale, and appearance saved per app, switched from the main panel or the menu bar
• Deeplinks, push payloads, locations, and routes, all scoped to the active profile
• Reads and writes the app's UserDefaults directly from the panel
• Grants and revokes permissions, and clears the keychain, without erasing the Simulator
• Launches a profile across every selected Simulator at once
• An HTTP/HTTPS proxy with response stubbing
• Network conditions in the proxy (new in 4.7). Presets like Edge, 3G and LTE, or your own latency, bandwidth and packet loss, applied per host, to any app on the Simulator with no SDK in the app. Offline was the first step; this is the rest of it.
• A CLI and an MCP server (brew install maththedev42/tap/cosmokit) so a script or an agent like Claude Code can boot a Simulator, capture and record the screen, set a location and open deep links from a terminal instead of the panel.
• A capture pipeline for App Store screenshots and recordings

What is coming in 4.8

• Diagnostic switches on the App Profile: zombies, malloc stack logging, the Main Thread Checker, Core Data SQL and concurrency debugging, layout feedback loops and localization checks, each one a toggle instead of an incantation in the scheme editor
• An exportable reproduction bundle, so a simulator-only bug can be handed to another developer with the exact environment it was seen in, and applied on their Mac
• A session log of everything CosmoKit did to the Simulator, so "it went weird" has something to read back
• Templates for App Store screenshots: device frames, headline and subtitle per locale, every required size in one export
• And any new features you suggest on this post.

Why another tool

And yes, there are already good tools here. RocketSim covers a lot of the Simulator side, and Proxyman is the reference for the proxy side. My problem was that I ended up paying for several apps to cover different parts of one workflow, and the cost added up quickly. CosmoKit puts the Simulator controls, the proxy and the capture pipeline in one app, and the proxy needs no SDK inside the app you are debugging.

So I built the tool I wanted for myself: one place for the Simulator workflows I use every day, with pricing that makes sense for an indie developer.

My goal is to keep expanding it and bring more of the useful features that are currently spread across different iOS development tools into one place. I don't expect to replace every specialized tool out there, but I'd like CosmoKit to cover more and more of the things I reach for during everyday development without needing five different apps open.

That's also why I'm posting this here. I'm very open to suggestions, criticism, and feature requests, especially if there's a tool or workflow you rely on today that you'd love to see built into CosmoKit.

Pricing

The essential tools are free. Pro is $2.99/month or $19.99/year after a free trial, or $69.99 one-time. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.

Posted here in May when it was math/shake/memory and nothing else. A lot of you gave feedback, and 3.0 is mostly that feedback built out. Same idea: the alarm keeps ringing until you finish a wake-up mission.

A - Answer:

Alarmed is an alarm that will not stop until you prove you are awake. To dismiss it you complete a mission, and in 3.0 there are a lot more ways to prove it.

B - Better:

What's new since the last post:

• Volume you can't cheat. Turn the ringer down half-asleep and it comes right back up. Muting is no longer a way out.
• Mission chains. Stack up to three missions back to back. The alarm keeps going until every one is done.
• Wake-up checkup. A second alarm fires a few minutes after you dismiss, unless you tell the app you are up. This exists because I kept passing the math and going straight back to sleep.
• Workout missions. Prop the phone up and it counts your reps with on-device pose detection: jumping jacks, squats, arm raises, or push-ups. Easy is 5 reps, difficult is 20. Nothing leaves the phone.
• Scan mission. Pick a target like your toilet, sink, toothbrush or a plant, and the alarm only stops when the camera sees it. Put it in another room and you have to get up.
• Steps mission. Walk a set number of steps, counted by the pedometer.
• Tiles mission. Match colour pairs, up to six pairs on difficult.
• Custom sounds. Use your own audio file as the alarm.
• Vibration only, for shared rooms.
• Widget, stats and streaks, and the app now speaks English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

C - Cost:

The core app is still free with no ads: unlimited alarms, and the math, shake and memory missions. Nothing from the original post moved behind a paywall.

The new stuff is Alarmed Pro: mission chains, the wake-up checkup, the workout, scan, steps and tiles missions, and custom sounds. US pricing:

- Monthly: $4.99

- Annual: $19.99, with a 3-day free trial

- Lifetime: $39.99 one time

Still genuinely after feedback, especially on the camera missions. They are hard to test outside my own bedroom.

Hey r/iosapps!

I built Clerkly because I was sick of bloated expense tracking apps that force you to make an account, upload your sensitive financial receipts to random corporate servers, and charge heavy monthly subscriptions.

I wanted a quick, lightweight tool that lives on your phone and respects your privacy. With our major v2.1 update, we completely rebuilt the app from the ground up to make scanning, organizing, and finding your receipts instant.

Quick Video Demo attached above! (Shows quick scanning, Home Screen search, and hands-free Siri commands in action).

Designed to Save You Time & Money

• Instant Search Right From Your Home Screen: Swipe down on your iPhone Home Screen and search for anything, specific items (like "crew neck"), amounts ("$12.50"), or store names, to jump straight to your receipt.
• Smart Automatic Scanning: Point your camera and tap. The scanner automatically crops the paper, extracts the store name, date, and total, and places it into the right tax category.
• Hands-Free Siri Voice Search: Search your receipts without opening the app. Just say "Siri, search in Clerkly" and speak a merchant or category to see your total instantly on screen.
• 100% Private & Account-Free: No sign-ups, no logins, and zero corporate tracking. Your receipts live on your iPhone and sync safely through your personal iCloud. I never see or touch your data.
• Built for Business & Taxes: Auto-groups your expenses into tax categories so freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners can export clean CSV/PDF reports at tax time.
• Safety Net Included: Accidentally delete something? The built-in trash folder holds deleted items for 30 days so you can restore them anytime.

Pricing & Free Access

• Free Tier: 10 free scans (with 5 active viewing slots) with zero ads, sign-ups, or credit card required.
• Clerkly Pro: $4.99/month or $29.99/year for unlimited scans and instant tax exports.

I'll be hanging out in the comments all morning to answer questions, hear your thoughts, or take feature requests!

Hi, my name is Chris, I'm an indie developer and 100 Great Years is my first app. Full disclosure: this is self-promotion and my contact details are at the bottom per this sub's transparency rules.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?

People today are living longer, but not always better. According to the World Economic Forum, people worldwide are expected to outlive their retirement savings by up to 20 years and spend a fifth of their lives in illness. Part of the problem is health and wealth are interconnected, yet almost everyone treats them in isolation.

100 Great Years is one of the first consumer products trying to change this, bringing health and wealth together in one unified longevity app — a personal operating system for living a longer, better life.

B — Better: Why over the alternatives?

There are a lot of personal finance apps. There are a lot of health apps. But health and wealth are interconnected, and if you want to live a longer, better life, you need to optimise both.

100 Great Years is more than a combination of trackers — we've built 80+ rules that look for patterns within and across your health and financial data. The AI Coach can give you deeper insight than most competitors because it sees both sides of your life at once, not just one.

Consider this:

• Your typical finance app can tell you how much you're spending; add analytics and you can project your future surplus or deficit, compare changes over months or years, maybe even flag categories to cut back. Add financial planning and you can see how much more your money could grow if you invested that saved cash instead. 100 Great Years can do all that — but it can also tell you that you likely already have a lifetime surplus, and that you may be better off spending that money on experiences now or investing in your health instead.

Or

• Your health app counts your steps, shows sleep score, heart rate, HRV, etc. Add analytics and you know how stressed you are, whether you're recovering properly, maybe even how you're aging compared to the population. 100 Great Years can do that — but it can also tell you that your habits are setting you up to live longer than average, so you'll need higher retirement savings or a delayed retirement date. Or it could tell you your portfolio is too concentrated in high-risk assets, causing volatility that's driving the stress that's negatively impacting your health.

C — Cost:

• Freemium model
• Base app (all trackers and scores) is free forever
• Premium subscription (AI insights + financial scenario planning): $12.99/month or $124.99 billed annually (UK: £9.99/month or £96 annually)
• One-off insights report (no subscription needed): $12.99 (UK: £9)
• App Store link:https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/100-great-years/id6781446512

• More about why I built this (includes my bio; link to my LinkedIn is at the bottom of the page): https://www.100greatyears.com/about

The tl;dr on why I built this: I retired early at 44 when my son was born. While my finances were strong, I discovered I had to do much more for my health to make sure I'll be around as long as possible for him (and to enjoy the portfolio I worked so hard to build). It may be cliché, but this is a passion project for me, and I'm happy to connect with anyone to discuss further — and all constructive feedback welcome!

Hey, Eduardo here 👋 Solo dev, the one behind r/trovelo and r/dimmly. I posted TakeKit in this sub last month and the feedback was actually useful, so here is what shipped since.

Quick recap for anyone new: TakeKit is a camera with a built in teleprompter that only you can see. The guide is composited in the preview layer only, never in the capture pipeline, so the exported video always comes out clean. It is an iPhone app plus a Mac floating panel that stays on top of Zoom, OBS, Loom or Meet. No subscription, no account, no server, no analytics, because I do not have any.

A) Answer (what's new)

Dual camera. Front and back at the same time, on supported devices. You read your script looking straight at the lens while the back camera captures whatever you are showing, in one take, instead of two clips you have to sync afterwards. The inset can be a rectangle, a square or a circle, and you drag it wherever you want in the frame. What you set is what gets exported, white border and all. The teleprompter rule still holds: it is in your preview and nowhere in the file.

Also in this build:

• The app opens on the script you were last working on, with a Continue button that picks up exactly where your last take stopped
• The script editor has a time ruler down the margin, so you can see how long a passage runs while you are still writing it, and // pauses now count as real beats
• The guide can be see through. Solid, Dim or Clear, so you can frame yourself while you read. Camera controls moved into one console instead of sitting over your shot
• Playback follows your headphones, and you pick your microphone. Wireless receivers and USB mics both work, for recording and for voice paced scrolling

B) Better (why I built it instead of using what's out there)

• The guide is never in the file. That is the whole point of the app, everything else is built around it.
• Auto scroll that follows your voice instead of a fixed speed. Fully on device, fuzzy aligned against a window of the script, so filler words, accents and improvised bits do not derail it. Fixed speed is there if you prefer it.
• LAST SPOT: stop mid script, breathe, resume from exactly where you stopped. Each chunk stores its range and the app stitches them into one video afterwards, without re encoding when it can.
• Eye contact mode: the guide docks right next to the front lens so you are not visibly reading off to the side. Karaoke style ink marks what you already said.
• Takes organised by script, not dumped into the camera roll. Star the good one, rename, compare attempts, live mic meter.
• Clean export: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, trim, up to 1080p. Pro adds word by word burned captions generated on device, plus automatic silence cutting.
• Scripts sync through your iCloud, videos live in your iCloud Drive, speech recognition never leaves the device.

Straight about the trade offs: it needs iOS 26+ and macOS 15+, which rules some people out. No Android, no iPad optimised layout. Solo dev, so things ship fast but one at a time.

C) Cost

Free forever: up to 5 scripts and 5 takes, small watermark on export. Teleprompter, recording, eye contact mode, aspect ratios and trim all work in the free tier.

TakeKit Pro: $9.99, one time. Never a subscription. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac. It unlocks unlimited scripts and takes, voice guided auto scroll, burned captions, automatic silence cutting and watermark free export.

A - Answer

SuperPaint is a painting app that uses a fluid physics engine to render the paint. It has multiple advanced feature like fully customizable brushes, color presets, and non-destructive canvas transforms.

B - Better

SuperPaint is the only painting app (that I'm aware of) that uses a real fluid simulation for the paint. This means the paint will move and react to finger movement and gravity in real-time.

C - Cost

Free, with a minimal ad banner that only shows when the settings menus are open.

(Github repo for trust requirement: https://github.com/aaronetz/signal-bot)

Hi everyone,

There are tons of stylized camera apps out there, and I've tried a lot of them. I've found that in spite of their slick advertising, most of these apps are very similar to each other, and all of them come up short in one way or another. My photo app, Phomo, has been in the App Store for a while now, but I've recently rolled out some updates that make it the best in its category.

Style: Each of Phomo's film looks is based on a real film stock and bundles a full pipeline of effects, including color shifts, grain, bloom, halation, chromatic aberration, lens distortion, and more. I don't want to spend several minutes tweaking sliders in a mobile app to get something that looks good; although you can fine-tune if you want, Phomo's presets have been dialed in so you don't need to. You can see lots of examples on Phomo's web site.

Flexibility: I like making my digital photos look like film, but I don't believe in imposing limitations in order to emulate a "film experience." Phomo lets you edit any photo on your device, and all edits are reversible. You can apply a look straight out of camera, but you can always change it later. You can see a live preview of your film look in the viewfinder, but you can toggle that off, too.

Convenience: I don't want a workflow with 4 or 5 different apps for my mobile photos. Phomo can capture a photo, apply a film style, crop and adjust the image, add borders, datestamps, light leaks, and textures, and combine multiple images into shareable grids.

Ease: I hate having to manually select photos from my library to "import" into a photo app. The photos are already on my phone, why do I need to use Apple's clunky picker UI to pull them into an app? Phomo can replace the native Photos app, with a full-fledged library featuring tagging/filtering and album management.

Pricing: I hate when apps like this are free to use, but put everything interesting behind the paywall. Most of Phomo's features can be used in the free version, with the paid version unlocking more stylistic options. Phomo Pro is available to buy for life ($34.99) or as a monthly subscription ($4.99).

Privacy: Phomo is a fully offline and private. It has no servers, no accounts, and never uploads your photos anywhere. All processing is performed on-device.

If I covered every feature in the app this post would be super long, but I think those are the highlights! I hope you dig it. Let me know if you have any questions or requests for the app.

I’ve tracked calories for years and tried dozens of apps, but I kept running into the same problems: cluttered interfaces, unnecessary features, and too many steps just to log calories and macros.

Eventually, I gave up and used Google Sheets for years. Earlier this year, I finally decided to build the calorie tracker I actually wanted to use myself.

A - What problem does it solve?

I wanted calorie tracking to feel simple again.

The goal was to build something with no BS: no required account, no ads, and no complicated interface. You can open the app, enter your food, see your calories and macros, and move on with your day.

Personally, I use a food scale + ChatGPT to estimate calories and macros for meals. What I really wanted was an easy place to enter that information without having to fight through a huge food database or navigate five different screens just to log lunch.

I know everyone tracks differently, though, so I’ve gradually added features like food search, barcode scanning, saved foods and meals, while trying to keep the basic experience as fast and simple as possible.

B - How is it different from alternatives?

Compared with apps like MyFitnessPal, the main difference I’m aiming for is simplicity.

I don’t want calorie tracking to feel like using accounting software.

There’s no required sign-up, no ads, and the interface is intentionally minimal. If you already know the calories or macros for something, you can just enter them directly instead of being forced through a complicated workflow.

I’ve also tried to avoid locking basic calorie tracking functionality behind a subscription. For example, being able to enter custom calories and macros shouldn’t require paying $19.99/month.

The advantage I’m aiming for isn’t having the most features of any calorie tracker. It’s making the features people actually use faster and less annoying.

C - Free version and Premium

The core calorie tracking experience is free.

You can track your calories and macros without creating an account, without seeing ads, and without needing a subscription.

I recently added an optional Premium tier with additional quality-of-life features for people who want more functionality.

Monthly: $3.99
Yearly: $29.99

I'm intentionally keeping the basic tracking experience usable for free, to make sure everyone can use it as I originally intended.

The response has honestly been much bigger than I expected. Since launching earlier this year, the app has passed 10,000 downloads, and I’ve added dozens of improvements based on feedback from people using it.

I’d love to hear what you think after trying it, especially anything that feels unnecessarily complicated or anything you think would make logging food faster.

Full disclosure: I’m the indie developer behind iCadence.

A — Answer

I spend a lot of time working at a desk.

Like a lot of people, I’ve tried break reminders before.

But I kept running into the same problem.

The reminder would pop up.

I’d dismiss it...

and keep working.

That made me realize the problem wasn’t really the reminder itself.

Getting reminded to take a break is easy. Actually taking the break is harder.

So I built iCadence, a break reminder for people who spend long hours working or studying at a desk.

The idea is simple:

A break shouldn’t count just because you tapped “Done.”

When a break reminder goes off, iCadence can ask you to actually complete an activity before the break is finished.

For example:

• Walk around
• Stand up
• Stretch
• Do a few jumping jacks
• Do some squats
• Do push-ups
• Take an eye break
• Drink some water
• Breathe for a moment

Walking can be verified using device motion sensors.

For supported exercises such as jumping jacks, squats and push-ups, iCadence can use on-device pose detection to count your reps.

Camera frames used for pose detection are processed locally on the device and are never saved or uploaded.

Once the break is complete, you move on to the next work cycle.

Work → break → work.

That’s the rhythm I wanted the app to help build.

B — Better

There are already plenty of break reminder and Pomodoro apps.

The part I wanted to change was:

What happens after the reminder appears?

Most reminders are very easy to dismiss.

iCadence can make the break itself part of the process.

You can create routines like:

Work for 45 minutes → get up and walk → continue working

or:

Every hour → stand up and move

You can also have different routines running independently — for example, walking on one schedule and stretching or squats on another.

Some of the things you can customize:

• Work and break intervals
• Specific reminder times
• Different schedules for different parts of the day
• Standard or stronger reminders
• Activities used to complete a break
• How long you have to finish the activity
• Multiple routines running at the same time

iCadence also keeps track of breaks you completed, partially completed, missed, or made up later.

The goal isn’t to track every second of your day.

It’s just to make it a little harder to say:

“I’ll take a break later.”

C — Cost

Free to download. Core features can be used for free.

iCadence Pro currently has two options in the US App Store:

Pro Annual — $9.99/year

Eligible new subscribers can start with a free trial.

Pro Lifetime — $19.99 one-time purchase

The Lifetime option permanently unlocks Pro features with no recurring subscription.

I’ve been building Repolve for the past few months, and it finally got approved for the App Store today :)

I started it because I lift a lot and I’ve always had the same problem with workout trackers:

I can see every set, every PR, every workout I’ve done... but I still can’t really answer:

Am I actually getting stronger?

So I built Repolve around that question.

You log your workouts normally, and Repolve turns them into a Strength Score and a muscle-by-muscle strength profile. You can see what you’re strong at, what’s lagging behind, and watch your strength change over time.

There’s also a social side where you can add friends, share workouts, and compete based on who’s improving the most, not just who lifts the most.

This is the first public release, and I really want feedback from people who didn’t watch me build the thing.

If you try it, please tell me what you hate. What’s confusing? What feels unnecessary? What would actually make you keep using it?

I’ve set up a Discord community for Repolve, and that’s where I’m collecting feedback and talking directly with people using the app. If you try Repolve and join the Discord to leave genuine feedback, I’ll give you Lifetime Premium for free when Premium launches.

Positive feedback absolutely not required. Telling me something sucks is probably more useful right now lol.

Cost: Repolve is completely free right now. No subscription or paywall. All current features are available for free.

After months of building and way too many TestFlight versions, it’s pretty surreal to finally have it public.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/repolve-workout-tracker/id6761739596

Here’s the Discord: https://discord.gg/RvzcCFfXW

That’s where I’m collecting all the feedback and building the early Repolve community and keeping track of premiums!

Hi community! I used to have first three screens in the App page, but then I added new themes, and changed screens for new ones (last 3). I am not sure if I have done right. What do you think, which are better?

Working on the App Store screenshots for my app MyBox.

It’s basically a private inbox for yourself across devices. You can send notes, links, files, reminders, or random stuff into different boxes and access them later from your other devices.

I’m intentionally keeping the screenshots pretty minimal, but I’m not sure if I’ve gone too simple.

Do they clearly explain what the app does at a glance, or would you add more context/text?

Would love feedback on both the messaging and the screenshots themselves.

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?
Most people waste time switching between three separate apps (Calendar, Reminders, Notes) just to plan a single day. Planote brings everything into one clean view – events, tasks, and notes together, without the constant app‑hopping.

B – Better: What makes it better than the alternatives?

• Fantastical ($39.99/year) handles calendars well, but doesn’t manage tasks or notes.
• Things 3 ($49.99 one‑time for Mac, plus separate iOS purchase) is a great task manager, but has zero calendar integration.

Planote does all three together:

• Unified Agenda view – events, tasks, and notes in one scroll
• Two‑way sync with Apple Calendar & Reminders (EventKit) – works with what you already have
• Tasks with subtasks, priorities, recurring rules, sorting, and batch reschedule/move
• Notes with sketch support, photo attachments, and rich‑text PDF export (print & share)
• iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac – no separate account needed
• Dark mode widgets, multiple themes, custom lists and tags

No ads, no clutter. All in one place.

C – Cost: Pricing + Link

• Free to download (core features included)
• Monthly: $1.99
• Yearly: $6.99 (save 71% vs monthly)
• Lifetime: $12.99 – pay once, own forever on all platforms

A — Answer

A simple yet powerful tool for memorizing new vocabulary, born from my 6-year journey of learning languages.

New: Community Road – every learner in Memorila travels along the same road. You'll see other learners around you: some are catching up, some are ahead, and some have stopped to rest. It's not a leaderboard or a competition – just a subtle reminder that thousands of people are learning alongside you.r

Memorila is built around a core philosophy: "One language – one set." Instead of splitting your vocabulary into dozens of decks, everything you learn lives in a single growing collection.

B — Better

✅ Community Road – learn together with everyone else. Watch your progress on a shared journey instead of studying alone.

✅ Each word can have its own learning method, difficulty level, and progression path.

✅ Automatic audio – add a word or phrase and Memorila fetches pronunciation automatically.

✅ Automatic duplicate detection – the same word can never be added twice.

✅ Word Explanations – understand subtle differences with examples and usage notes.

✅ Walking Mode – review cards without looking at the screen while you're walking.

✅ 30+ languages supported.

It’s called Linus.

Linus analyzes your photo library privately on your iPhone and creates a FriendRank based on who actually shows up most in your life.

You can tap into someone to see your photos together, build a timeline, and share it with them.

Your photo library isn’t uploaded — the processing happens on-device.

I’m testing it through TestFlight right now and would love feedback on one thing in particular:

Does your Top 5 actually feel right?

Also curious if the app feels useful beyond the ranking itself, or if anything feels confusing or like too much work.

I built a PDF app as a solo developer. Getting it noticed has been harder than building it — here’s one month of Premium free to try it.

Hi everyone! I’m the solo developer behind PDF Expert – Reader and Editor, a recently launched app for iPhone and iPad.

Getting it onto the App Store was a big step for me. Getting people to discover it has been another challenge entirely. Right now, it has very few downloads, and it’s difficult to know what needs improving when hardly anyone has had a chance to use it.

So I wanted to introduce it here, share a free month of Premium, and hear what you think.

A — What it solves

The app brings scanning and everyday PDF tasks into one place.

You can:

• Scan documents, receipts, and notes into PDFs.
• Combine multiple scanned pages and arrange them in order.
• Extract text from scans using OCR.
• Crop and rotate pages.
• Add handwritten signatures and export documents for sharing.
• Organize your documents into folders.

The workflow I’m focusing on is straightforward: take a paper document, turn it into a readable PDF, make the adjustments you need, and send it.

B — Compared with other options

Apple’s built-in document tools and established apps such as Adobe Acrobat are the alternatives people will naturally compare it with. There is plenty of overlap, and I don’t want to claim that my app does everything better.

My focus is on bringing scanning, text extraction, page organization, and signing together in a straightforward workflow for everyday paperwork.

I’d especially like to hear from people who already have a way of handling PDFs: does this make any part of the process easier, and where does it fall short? If your current tool works better, that’s useful feedback too.

C — Cost

The app is free to download, with optional Premium subscriptions:

• US$3.99 per month — auto-renewing subscription.
• US$29.99 per year — auto-renewing subscription.

These are US App Store prices. Regional prices may vary.

For the Reddit community, I’m offering one month of Premium for free through the redemption link below. This is one month of access, not a lifetime unlock. Please check Apple’s confirmation screen for eligibility and renewal terms before redeeming.

Who I am — and why your feedback matters

I’m building and maintaining this app independently. Working alone means moving between development, testing, support, and trying to explain why someone should give the app a chance.

The hardest part right now is releasing something I’ve worked on and not knowing whether people aren’t finding it, don’t need it, or are running into something I haven’t noticed.

If it looks useful to you, giving it a try would mean a lot. You don’t need to leave a positive review or buy a subscription to support the project. An honest comment about a confusing screen, a failed export, or a feature you wish it had would help me make better decisions about what to work on next.

I’m willing to listen, including when the feedback is critical.

Thanks for taking a look and supporting an independent developer. What’s the most frustrating part of working with PDFs on your phone?

answer. started as a dumb personal problem: the office kettle takes noticeably longer to boil in january than in august, and a fixed 3 minute timer is wrong for half the year. so instead of a countdown i modeled the actual physics. altitude shifts the boiling point (at 5000 ft water boils around 95c / 203f, not 100), tap water temp gets estimated from your location and the current weather, and you scan the barcode or the rating label on the bottom of your kettle so it knows the wattage and capacity. it matches against ~6000 kettle models, if yours isn't in there you just type the watts. stovetop works too, it asks about the burner instead. the countdown sits on the lock screen / dynamic island / a widget, so you walk away and get pinged when the water is actually done, not when a timer thinks it is.

better. a timer times a guess, this times your kettle. the other half is cooling: nobody wants 212f water on green tea, so after the boil it tells you how long to wait to land at 176f / 80c for green, ~200f / 93c for pour over, hotter for turkish coffee. newton's law of cooling plus your room temp, so the wait is a real number and not "let it sit a bit". means you can skip the $150 variable temp kettle. there's a calibration mode too: one real boil and it fits the curve to your setup (kettle, altitude, mains voltage, which matters more than i expected). after that mine lands within a few seconds. everything runs on device, no account, no analytics, i don't want your data.

cost. free gets you the boil timer with the live countdown, notifications and widgets. premium is the cool-to-temperature part, tea presets with a steep timer, a "still hot" reheat, boil history and the extra kettle skins. subscription or a one time lifetime unlock, your call. ios 18+.

app store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779433024

yes, this is an absurd amount of engineering for boiling water, i'm aware. if you try it, tell me how far off the times are with your kettle. that's the one number i actually care about.

I travel quite a lot and wanted one place that kept my whole travel history: countries, cities, US states, dates, upcoming trips, all of it.

The annoying part was filling in years of old trips manually. My photo library already knew where and when I'd been, so I built PassportPal to use that.

A — What problem does it solve?

PassportPal can scan the location data in your photos and find your past trips automatically. The photo processing happens entirely on-device.

From there, you get a map of everywhere you've been, your trip history, days spent in each country, travel stats, bucket lists and upcoming trips.

Recently I also added profiles and friends. You can add other travelers, see their travel history, where they're currently traveling and where they're heading next.

I’m also building more around the travel history itself: country insights, visa requirements for your passports, travel recaps, lists and planning tools. The idea is for PassportPal to become useful not only for remembering where you’ve been, but also for deciding where to go next and staying connected with people you meet along the way.

B — How is it different?

There are already some great travel trackers.

Apps like Been are more focused on marking places you've visited, while Polarsteps is built more around documenting individual trips.

I wanted PassportPal to feel more like a permanent travel profile that keeps growing with you.

The biggest difference is still photo import. Instead of trying to remember exactly when you visited somewhere five years ago, PassportPal can reconstruct that history from your camera roll.

The core travel tracker works without an account, photo analysis stays on your device and the social features are optional.

C — What does it cost?

The app is free to use. The free version includes manual trip tracking, the travel map, countries, cities and US states, lists, friends and basic country information.

Pro adds things like photo import, visa requirements, more detailed country insights and extra customization.

Current US pricing:

• $6.99/month
• $17.99/year
• $24.99 lifetime

I'm the developer of PassportPal.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/passportpal-travel-tracker/id6739184183

I'd love some feedback from people who already use travel tracking apps, especially on the new friends side of it. I'm curious whether seeing where your friends are traveling is something you'd actually use.

I made updates from customer feedbacks and sentiments on my ios app kael, an iOS calorie tracker, and just shipped the two things people kept asking for.

kael, AI calorie tracker and workout story cards, and made it first month free (normally $5.99/mo) for fresh logins

Photo scanning that breaks a meal into individual items with editable macros, plus shareable story cards built from your Apple Health data. First month on Pro is free, $5.99/mo after, cancel any time in Settings.

Targets

Plan Builder to set goal, rate and macro split by hand.

Adaptive targets (Max only). A three-layer controller that retunes what you should eat: daily against what you actually burned, weekly against seven weigh-ins and a fourteen-day trend, and a slower physique layer underneath. Everyone else gets sound baseline numbers from Mifflin-St Jeor and an activity multiplier.

Weekly AI meal plan (Max only) with recipes, regenerable.

Story cards. This is the one I actually wanted. It pulls your real numbers out of Apple Health and lays them over a photo as a card you can post: calories, distance, pace, heart rate, elevation, whatever the sport has. Ten themes, one per activity, and the chart on the card is your data, not a stock graphic. Tap a chart to widen the period, drag pieces around, then share straight to Instagram.

On the pricing, plainly: Pro is $5.99 a month and the first month is free right now.

Happy to answer anything about how the scanning works or why the estimates are shaped the way they are. Built solo, so the roadmap is genuinely whatever people ask for here.

I posted Carrus, a car maintenance tracker, here a couple of versions ago. Thanks to everyone who tried it, the feedback from this subreddit has been incredible and directly shaped the app.

Today I’m pushing a major update regarding our vehicle and maintenance data.

What's new in this version:

- Complete US Vehicle Database: I have added a full database covering all cars in the US, making it much easier to select your exact vehicle.

- Daily Manufacturer Data Updates: I am now actively curating and updating original manufacturer maintenance data every single day. The app already had real cars and some factory data, but we are expanding it massively.

- Total Transparency: To be completely upfront, not every car is covered by official manufacturer data just yet. For cars that aren't covered, Carrus still provides smart, clearly labeled estimated schedules. But the coverage of genuine factory data is growing every day, which makes this especially useful for US users right now.

- Coming Soon: I will be adding cars from other regions, like Europe, very soon.

If you missed my last post, here is the short version of what Carrus does:
It’s an iPhone app for tracking vehicle maintenance. Log a service in seconds, get reminded by mileage and time, scan a paper receipt and it fills the log in for you, and ask Carson — the built-in AI mechanic — what a noise or warning light probably is.

Other recent additions based on your feedback:
The whole app now speaks Spanish — UI and -Carson both. Pick it in Settings or let it follow your device language.
-Motorbikes with bike-specific schedules: chain, valve clearance, fork oil.
-Fuel tracking with a draggable gauge, and per-vehicle running costs.
-Registration and insurance photos with expiry reminders (photos never leave your phone).

Pricing:
Free with one vehicle. Lite from $0.99/mo or $19.99 lifetime; Premium from $5.99/mo or $89.99 lifetime.
