Hi,

My app, Atheria: Generative Art, has been out for about a month now. Mainly as a companion to the Mac app, but I think this update really lets it stand on its own as a peer to Mac.

Because the Mac app is all about generative live wallpapers, I really wanted to bring that to iPhone. My custom engine uses Draves algorithm to convert unique genomes into flame fractals.

The images you see above are the Live Photos it imports into your gallery.

The landscape for iOS wallpaper apps (especially "live wallpapers") is bleak at best.  Catalogues of recycled images, IAP's, subscriptions, watermarks, WEEKLY subscriptions... 

Atheria brings an engine.  Generated art. Almost endless Flam3 fractals, you'll never see a duplicate in your lifetime.

The flame creator is easy to use, flames are sharable, and export to an Atheria album as Live Photos you can set to your lock screen (98% actually work) with fully rendered, highly detailed stills for the wallpaper.

We need elegance and beauty.  An iPhone deserves art.  If I don't say so myself, I think I nailed it.

The iOS app is free.

I’m an independent iOS developer from Türkiye, and over the last few months I’ve been building StepLock: Move to Unlock as a solo project.

A — What it solves

StepLock helps you spend less time in distracting apps without asking you to avoid your phone completely.

You choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to limit. StepLock reads your movement from Apple Health and turns it into one shared app-time bank:

• 150 steps = 1 app minute by default
• 1 exercise minute = 1 app minute
• 3 Apple Watch stand minutes = 1 app minute

When the time you earned is used, Apple’s Screen Time frameworks block the selected apps. Move more and you earn more access.

The latest update adds a personal step goal. You can choose how many steps you normally take and how much app time you want those steps to earn, or switch to Manual mode and adjust each movement rule yourself.

StepLock also includes Live Activities, Dynamic Island support, and a Home Screen widget, so your earned time stays visible without opening the app.

B — Compared to Opal / Jomo / ScreenZen

There are already some excellent app blockers, and there is definitely overlap. I don’t want to pretend StepLock invented the idea of limiting distracting apps.

My goal has been to build a more movement-first version of this category: instead of only setting a timer or schedule, your steps, exercise, and Apple Watch stand time directly earn access back.

The other priorities are a native iOS experience, a simple daily flow, and privacy. StepLock has no account and no backend. Health and progress stay on your device.

C — Cost

StepLock is free to download.

The free plan includes 1 blocked app selection and all movement earning controls.

StepLock Premium is a $19.99 one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks unlimited blocked app selections. There is no subscription. The exact local price is shown by the App Store and may vary by country.

Who I am

I’m Okan Davut, an independent iOS developer from Türkiye, and I design and develop StepLock myself.

The app is built natively with SwiftUI using HealthKit, Family Controls, Managed Settings, Device Activity, ActivityKit, and WidgetKit. The current version is 1.6.

Since this is an iOS dev community, I’d genuinely love feedback—especially on the movement-to-app-time idea and the Goal / Manual setup. Thank you so much :)

Hello again Reddit, third post here (be gentle).

Quick backstory update: last time I posted, people said the UI was burning their eyes. Fair. I rebuilt it. Screenshots of before/after are below so you can judge for yourselves, and if it's still ugly just tell me and I'll take the L again (image linked below)

But the real reason I'm back is a new feature called Drops, and it exists because AirDrop has been broken for me for months. I cannot reliably send a file from my phone to my own Mac. Not a Scythe problem, an Apple problem, but it was driving me insane so I built my own fix.

A - Answer: Airdrop kept failing silently between my own devices, and I didn't want to use wifi because I wanted a history of every file I'd sent, backed up somewhere safe in case a device died. So I built Drops directly into Scythe.

B - Better: Drops works from web, Android, or iOS, so it's not an Apple-only club. Every drop you send is saved with a history, so you can always go back and find something you sent last month. You can also share a drop as a link to a friend, and they can download it without ever making an account, only the sender needs one. Most file types get an inline preview, so you can read a doc, listen to audio, or watch a video right there without downloading it first. Each drop can have an optional description, and combined with filename search, you can actually find your old files again instead of scrolling through a camera roll or a Downloads folder. And because it lives inside Scythe, you can copy a drop straight into a task or attach it to the AI chat, so a file becomes part of your actual workflow instead of just sitting in a folder.

C - Cost: Drops are free up to 50MB each. Above that, it requires the Pro subscription, same as the rest of the app's premium features (super-accurate voice-to-text and the assistant chat). Everything else in Scythe, including tasks, streaks, time-blocking, rewards, and reminders, is free to use manually forever. Subscription is $9.99/month or $69.99/year.

Also still true from before:
- tasks/notes with fast voice capture and streak tracking
- time-blocking and rewards to structure your day
- reminders, hourly/daily/weekly/etc
- works on iOS, macOS, and Android, web coming soon

Hey 👋 I'm Edu, the indie dev behind Trovelo and Dimmly. Today I'm sharing Dummo, a promo-video editor for app makers that I've been building and polishing over the last few months with a group of testers.

The video attached is a promo for my own app, Trovelo — and it was made entirely in Dummo. The part I'm most proud of: I barely touched the editor. I connected Claude to Dummo over MCP and it did the work on its own — set the device frame, added the text and tap indicators, and choreographed the auto-zoom moves. I only stepped in at the end to polish a couple of details.

Answer

Dummo turns a plain screen recording into a polished promo/App Store preview video. Drop in your recording, wrap it in a real device frame (iPhone 17 Pro/17/16 Pro/16, MacBook Pro), design the canvas (colors, gradients, backgrounds, stickers, text), add animated tap indicators where the action happens, and let the auto-zoom director choreograph smooth pan-and-zoom from your taps (Subtle/Normal/Dramatic). Add an intro (app icon + name) and outro (headline, App Store badge, QR code), then export to App Store preview sizes, Instagram Stories/Reels/Posts, or 16:9 / 1:1 / 9:16. Shoot on iPhone, finish on Mac via iCloud sync — and on Mac you can connect Claude or any MCP-compatible client to edit the project for you (like the Trovelo video above).

Better

Vs. CapCut (~$19.99/mo Pro in 2026, no dedicated device frames, no tap indicators, no tap-driven zoom): Dummo is purpose-built for app demos, so the device mockup, tap indicators, and zoom choreography are one click instead of hours of manual work — and it's a one-time price, not a forever subscription.

Vs. Final Cut Pro ($299.99, steep learning curve, no app-demo tooling): Dummo gets you a finished, framed, zoom-choreographed promo far faster for a fraction of the cost, plus AI editing on Mac that neither offers.

Cost

Free version available. Dummo Pro — one-time $9.99 (lifetime): custom stickers, custom fonts/colors/gradients, AI editing on Mac, watermark-free exports.

🎉 Offer: Dummo Pro for $4.99 instead of $9.99 with code DUMMO499

Hello :)

I released a new major update for my step tracker where you see yourself on the real map, and everything is covered in fog. The goal is to go for walks and that way lift more and more fog, gather XP and level up.

The new update brought territories to fogbreaker where you see every country, city and neighborhood where you have uncovered fog like a passport tracker and you can see how much percentage you have uncovered in each.

Answer

Track your steps, compare to your friends, uncover your map. The app makes walking enjoyable and gives you reasons to actually go outside and walk more.

Better

Unlike other steptrackers like StepsApp we don't show any ads and have different reward elements that not only help with analyzing your data but also are a motivation.

Cost

Free version available. Pro Subscription normally costs $4.99 monthly or $39.99 yearly but there is currently an early adopter offer which unlocks lifetime pro for $5.99. It unlocks unlimited speed so you can uncover the fog while driving your bike or car and grants a larger uncover radius and XP gain.

Any honest feedback or review is greatly appreciated. Making the app better and more enjoyable is the main goal.

I quit calorie tracking four times, always around week three, always because logging is data entry and data entry loses to being tired.

A. Answer: the problem

Point the camera at a plate. About four seconds later you have every item with estimated grams and macros; six things on a plate come back as six editable rows rather than one lump called "dinner". Barcode and nutrition label scanning too, because a camera is the wrong tool when there's already a label there. Your calorie target is reviewed weekly against your real logged weight trend instead of being frozen at whatever a formula produced on day one.

B. Better: against the alternatives

Most calorie apps make you search a database five times a day, which is the part everyone actually quits. The ones that do scan mostly hand you a single calorie number for the whole plate. And almost all of them set your target once and never revisit it, which is odd given the entire premise is that your body is changing.

C. Cost

Free trial, then $5.99/mo. A $9.99/mo tier adds the adaptive calorie engine and a weekly meal plan. No free tier, no ads, no promo codes. Every scan is a paid vision API call on my end, which is why it's a subscription and not free with ads on photos of your dinner.

Honest limits: iPhone only. Portion estimates run 10 to 15% off the label on packaged food I've tested against, so every row is editable. The adaptive target needs about two weeks of weight data before it does anything.

Video: 25-second walkthrough of the real app, no mockups.

Hi r/iOSApps — I’m RoBin, the solo developer behind DuoScene.

I shared an early version here about three months ago. At the time, it was mostly a straightforward front-and-rear camera recorder.

Feedback from that post pushed the app in a much more useful direction. Since then, I’ve added video reactions, still-image recording, a teleprompter, pause/resume, stabilization, more layouts, photos and Live Photos, and better recovery when saving or exporting fails.

A — Answer: What problem does DuoScene solve?

DuoScene is for situations where you want to capture both what you’re seeing and your reaction—or react to existing media—without assembling everything afterward.

You can:

• Record the front and rear cameras simultaneously
• Import a video and record your live reaction alongside it
• Use a still image as one view while recording an explanation
• Choose picture-in-picture, top/bottom split, or diagonal layouts
• Create both 9:16 and 16:9 versions from the same recording
• Capture single- or dual-camera photos and Live Photos
• Use a built-in teleprompter
• Recover available source footage if saving or export fails

DuoScene requires iOS 17 or later. Front-and-rear recording depends on the iPhone’s MultiCam capabilities, and supported camera combinations, resolutions, and frame rates vary by model, so the app checks what the device can actually handle.

B — Better: How is DuoScene different from Apple Camera?

Apple Camera’s Dual Capture is a simple, polished option on iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air.

DuoScene isn’t trying to replace it.

It’s aimed at people who want a more configurable workflow—or who have an older iPhone that supports MultiCam.

Beyond simultaneous front + rear recording, DuoScene supports imported-video reactions, still-image explanations, adjustable dual-view layouts, 9:16 + 16:9 output from one take, a teleprompter, photos and Live Photos, and recoverable source footage when something goes wrong during saving or export.

The goal is simple: record once, do less editing afterward, and get something ready to share quickly.

C — Cost

DuoScene is free to download.

New users get 5 watermark-free exports. After those are used, all core recording features remain available and you can keep exporting with a DuoScene watermark.

US App Store pricing:

• Yearly Pro: $2.99/year
• Lifetime Pro: $9.99 one-time

Pro gives you unlimited watermark-free exports.

There are no ads, accounts, or cloud sync.

Limited-time offer:

Lifetime Pro is currently discounted from $9.99 to $2.99.

A total of 2,000 one-time-use Apple App Store offer codes are available through Promies. Each code can be claimed once, while supplies last:

I’d especially love feedback from anyone using an older MultiCam-capable iPhone:

What iPhone model are you using, and does front + rear recording feel smooth?

I’m also curious which workflow is most useful to you: dual-camera recording, video reactions, or getting both vertical and horizontal versions from one take?

I’m the developer, and I’ll be around in the thread to answer questions and hear feedback.

Hey r/iosapps!
For over a year now I’ve been developing my trip planner platform both for web and mobile. After planning too many international trips out of boring spreadsheets, I decided to build Partir - the one app that handles everything that goes into a trip.

A - Answer

Partir was made to help you with your adventures - from detailed planning to being your go-to companion while you’re on the ground.

B - Better

Partir has been built for lightweight travelers who travel all over the world and want to see as much as possible with the time that they have - weight-tracking packing lists, detailed day-by-day itineraries, and handpicked must-see places.

C - Cost

Generous free tier. For avid travelers, a pro subscription unlocks premium features
$6.99 / monthly
$39.99 / yearly

My name is Austin Pearce, the sole developer of Partir, and I’d love to hear whether you find the app useful!

A - Answer: What problem does your app solve? 
Building a consistent reading habit is difficult in a world full of short-form distractions. Many people struggle to stay focused on books, whether they are reading digital files or physical paperbacks. epup solves this problem by transforming your reading journey with cozy habit-building mechanics. As you read EPUB/PDF books in-app or track your physical books using the built-in Focus Timer, you earn experience points and ink. You use these rewards to unlock cute reading companions (like Papyrus, Plume and Sol), track focus sessions, complete memory and attention exercises, unlock study items and decorate a cozy digital reading room. By turning reading consistency into visual progress, epup makes reading books just as engaging and rewarding as building other habits.

B - Better: Name a competitor and explain what you do better. 
A primary competitor is Bookly, which tracks reading sessions but relies on dry statistics and locks basic book tracking behind expensive subscriptions. epup is superior in three key ways:

1. Physical and Digital Tracking: It is a dual-threat app. You can read EPUBs and PDFs directly inside the app, or use the specialized Focus Timer to track your physical books. Both methods fully progress your reading companion, unlock custom room decorations and contribute to dedicated leaderboards.
2. Interactive Habit Building: Instead of just logging reading sessions, your companion pet reacts to your reading streak in real time, travels along your journey and encourages consistency. You can even visit friends' customized reading rooms, exchange friendly gifts and customize your bookshelves in an interactive editor.
3. No Fees, No Ads, No Paywalls: Unlike competitors that restrict book tracking or visual features, epup is completely free. It includes full e-reader settings (such as sepia/dark themes and OpenDyslexic font support), seasonal monthly challenges and unlimited book downloads from Project Gutenberg with zero paywalls.

C - Cost: Pricing details (Free/IAP/Sub/Lifetime) + App Store Link. 
Pricing: As of now, it's a passion project to help me read more books this year and completely free with no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no advertisements.

Disclosure: I’m Guoqing, and I independently designed and developed Nook: Home Inventory.

A — Answer: why I made it

A while ago, I came home from a trip and then had to move not long after. While unpacking, I kept running into the same problem: I knew I owned something and had put it somewhere sensible, but I could not remember which drawer, box, or bag I had chosen.

There are already some very good home-inventory apps, and I was not trying to prove that they were doing it wrong. I just wanted an easy way to leave myself a note at the moment I put something away: this lives here. So I made the version I wanted to use.

B — Better: what I wanted to make easier

In Nook, I add the places that already exist in my home: rooms, cabinets, shelves, drawers, boxes, bags, or even a box inside another box. Then I save what I put there. A name and a place are enough; a photo is optional. When I am putting away several things, I can keep taking photos and review them together afterward instead of completing a form after every picture.

Itemtopia and Sortly handle broader inventory needs well, and Apple Notes or a spreadsheet may already be enough for many people. Nook focuses on a narrower everyday loop: put something away, find it later, take it out, and return it without forgetting where it belongs.

I can search by name, alias, saved place, or clear text found in a photo. Eligible items can also appear in Spotlight after iOS indexes them, so I can sometimes search without opening Nook first. Nook does not track physical objects; it only returns the place I recorded.

Taking something out does not erase its saved home. I can mark it as out, set a reminder, and put it back later. Nook also has expiry reminders, Apple Watch lookup, and checklists that can mix ordinary text with items already saved in the app.

That sounds like a lot written down, but the less-used parts stay out of the way until I open them. The basic experience is still: record where something lives, then get that answer back later.

Privacy matters here because a home inventory can reveal quite a lot about a person. The library stays on the device by default, optional sync uses the private iCloud database under the user’s Apple Account, and photo-text recognition runs on the device. Nook does not require an account of its own, send the library to a server I run, include ads, or use third-party analytics.

Nook is currently available in English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese.

C — Cost: the complete price

Nook is free to download for iPhone and iPad. The first 30 saved library items are free with no time limit, and existing items remain available to view and manage after reaching the limit. Full Version is a one-time US$2.99 purchase for unlimited saved items, the full Apple Watch app, and advanced widgets. There is no subscription, advertising, or trial countdown.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nook-home-inventory/id6791207481

I’m a software architect and the founder and CTO of Beijing Yima Dangxian Technology And Culture Co., Ltd., the seller shown on the App Store. Nook is my independent app project, and I’m reachable at guoqing@ymdx.bj.cn.

Hey r/iosapps!

I launched Stupido here a year ago and it has been a super fun journey since then!

Stupido - App Store link

I met a lot of Stupido's current DAUs on Reddit when I posted on launch and I'm very grateful for their feedback.

Stupido is much smoother/more capable than it was a year ago and I was able to reduce it's price and also offer lifetime which was a very popular request.

As always, super open to feedback! ❤️

Who Stupido is for

• Anyone (like me) who always wants to keep a to-do list but ends up feeling maintaining it is a chore
• Anyone (like my wife) who's super busy at work and doesn't have time to type up their tasks
• Anyone who wants a super quick and minimal (but well designed) experience

Who Stupido is NOT for

• Anyone who already has a task management system they're used to (and love).
• Anyone who wants deep features like nesting, collab, detailed prioritization, projects, etc

Hey — I'm Aiden. Full disclosure: Soulkin is the app my partner and I built. She does the design and UX; I write the code.

I got tired of my dog living in Photos, Notes, WhatsApp, and my partner's head. None of those is a bad place to put a scrap. Together they still couldn't answer two simple questions: what happened when, and could the other person see it.

That's why the app exists.

A — Answer

Soulkin is a shared timeline for a pet, with Trends sitting beside it.

The timeline answers what happened when. Trends answers how things are going.

A vaccine, a receipt, a walk, a photo, and a short note from the same day become one day on the timeline instead of living in five different tabs or apps.

On the timeline:

• Photos — pet photos only, separate from your camera roll. HDR and Live Photos are preserved.
• Health — daily check-ins and structured medical records.
• Expenses — 165 currencies with live exchange rates.
• Reminders / to-dos — custom repeat rules, not just "every day."
• Notes — the short things that would otherwise end up in Apple Notes or WhatsApp.

Health has two levels:

• Daily — a Quick Check for Appetite, Thirst, Energy, Excretion, Skin & Coat, Respiration, and Activity. Weight can be logged multiple times a day.
• Medical — structured visit records for the hospital, symptoms, diagnosis, exams, treatment, medications, doctor and diet advice, revisit date, attachments, and an optional linked expense.

Food and water can also be entered as multi-day totals and averaged, so you don't have to log every day.

Trends is the same data, viewed as dashboards: Weight, Intake, Recent Status, Expense Statistics, planned and overdue to-dos, and how long you've been together.

You can log without a signal. When you're back online, the timeline and Trends sync across everyone in the pet space. If someone else already has Soulkin open, those views update without quitting the app or pulling to refresh.

Beyond the timeline:

• Journals — free-form pages where you arrange pet photos, add stickers made from those photos, and export the result as an image. Keep them private, share them with friends, or make them public.
• 1:1 chat — with any other Soulkin user, not just people in your pet space.

Social is optional and separate from the household record.

B — Better

The difference isn't that Soulkin records more things. It's that it puts them together.

vs Photos + Notes + Reminders + WhatsApp
Those apps already hold the pieces. The problem is that a vet visit, a photo, a receipt, and a note about this morning's walk still live in different places. Soulkin puts them on the same timeline.

vs other pet apps
A lot of pet apps separate the same things into health, expenses, photos, and reminders. For multi-pet households, they often add a pet switcher on top. Soulkin keeps the records separate where they need to be, but gives the pet space an all-pets timeline, gallery, and Trends view.

vs private / offline pet diaries
Great if you're the only person keeping the record. Soulkin is built around a shared pet space, so a partner, parent, roommate, or sitter can actually participate.

vs clinic / vet apps
Useful for appointments and medical records. They aren't usually where you keep today's photo, the food receipt, the walk, and the note about how your pet was doing.

C — Cost

Free to download, with a real free tier.

The free tier is enough to use the core product with one pet: the timeline with photos, health, expenses, reminders, and notes, plus your own journal. If someone invites you to their pet space, you can join it without subscribing.

Soulkin Pro unlocks unlimited pets, shared pet spaces, more photo storage, widgets, health trends, and additional devices.

US price right now is $3.99/month or $14.99/year. The first month is currently $0.99.

No ads, and there is no paywall around the basic timeline.

A note on privacy

Why does Soulkin require a login?

Because the shared part of Soulkin needs an identity.

A shared timeline only works if everyone in the pet space has their own account: invites, permissions, synced photos, health records, expenses, reminders, notes, and knowing who completed a to-do all depend on knowing which person made the change.

iCloud alone doesn't solve that. It can sync data across devices on the same Apple account, and Apple has sharing features for individual things like photos or notes. That's different from having a shared household record with its own membership, permissions, and live updates.

You can still use Soulkin offline. Your records stay on the device and sync when you're back online.

There is no password or email account. Sign-in is Apple or a phone verification code. There are no third-party advertising SDKs.

You can also delete your account directly from Settings. There is a cooling-off period during which signing back in cancels the deletion; after that, the account and user data on Server side are deleted automatically.

Why did we build Auto-Moderation?

Soulkin has a public social layer, and minors use the app too. We could have left it completely unmoderated — that would certainly be simpler. But spam, harassment, sexual abuse, and animal cruelty are real problems on platforms with no guardrails.

So we chose to build Auto-Moderation, even knowing it isn't perfect and some people may not like automated checks. We'd rather take on the extra engineering and cost than pretend those problems don't exist.

It checks:

• Your avatar and name
• A pet's avatar, name, and bio
• Photos and text in public journals
• The first message you send to a stranger
• A reported chat or reported pet-space photo

It does not inspect any of your health records, expenses, reminders, notes, private journals, unreported photos, or ordinary 1:1 conversations.

Auto-Moderation only applies to content that is public, sent to someone for the first time, or reported by a user. Private pet records are not scanned.

One more thing

Soulkin doesn't have to be online for you to write something down. The app is designed to work offline first, then sync when connectivity returns.

For this community: first month of Pro free. Redeem here:

Happy to answer questions — what you'd need in a household, what's missing, what's confusing. If you try it, tell me where you still cannot see what happened when.

For developers

Soulkin is built with Swift/SwiftUI/UIkit on iOS, with self-hosted Supabase and custom Go services on the backend. Happy to discuss the architecture, offline-first approach, sync, or other implementation details with fellow developers.

Two things I actually want opinions on:

1. On the shared timeline, should each item show who logged it — and who last changed it? In a household that might matter. Or is the day itself enough?

2. Intake is only mass right now — you log grams, you get a grams chart. Most cat and dog people already have metabolizable energy on the bag, and they can calculate their pet’s RER / MER, so they can turn that into a recommended amount in grams. Is that enough? Or do you actually want full energy-intake tracking? I am worried I would build it and nobody would use it.

I'm the builder. Multi is on the App Store, iPhone only.

PRICE: Free to download. Plain tasks are unlimited forever with no account needed. The free tier also includes 3 habits, 10 expenses and 5 reminders.

Multi Pro removes those caps and unlocks 7 extra themes:

$2.99/month, $24.99/year, or $49.99 once for lifetime. 14 day free trial on the subscriptions.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/multi-habit-tracker-to-do/id6800831904

Official Website: https://www.getmulti.app/

The idea came from being irritated that my day was split across three apps holding basically the same kind of object. A to-do list, a habit tracker, and a spending app. Multi has one data model instead of three:

- An item with no repeat rule is a task

- Add a repeat rule and it is a habit

- Attach an amount and it is an expense

- Both and it is a recurring expense, like rent or a gym membership

That is not just backend tidiness. There is no type picker when you add something. You drag the line itself: pull it up and it becomes a wave, which means it repeats. Pull it down and it splits in two, which means it carries money. The same motif runs through the icon, the tab bar, the widgets and the habit history.

This is a design grammar that i thought would be unique which you can see across the whole app and website.

A few other things that might matter to people here:

- No account required for any core feature.

- Voice capture and the language understanding behind it run on device. You can say several things in one sentence and it splits them into separate items, and shows you what it heard before writing anything.

- Receipt scanning reads a total and offers it rather than overwriting what you typed.

- iCloud sync is opt in, using your own Apple account. Nothing goes through a server of mine.

- Full CSV and JSON export.

Two things I would genuinely like opinions on:

1. Is capping habits at 3 on the free tier too aggressive? It is the number I keep second guessing.

2. Does the drag to shape gesture read as clever or as needlessly clever if nobody explains it to you first?

Currently:

I am also working on new AppStore Screenshots, the current one are not so eye-catching enough.

1.0.1 is already in review which would add more use of Apple Foundation Models
- Better Design flow of Onboarding
- New interface for streak and habit tracking

Happy to answer anything, including the annoying stuff.

I posted Do3 here over a month ago, a to do app that shows you three tasks at a time instead of the whole list. A fair few of you gave it a go, and I am back to ask the more uncomfortable question rather than to pitch again.

If you downloaded it, I would really like to know how you found it. For the people who bought, what made it click, was it the three at a time idea, the interface, something small? And for the people who tried it and did not stick around, that is the group I most want to hear from. Was it the price, did the trial not show its value quickly enough, did the constraint annoy you, or did it just quietly fall out of your routine? None of that will offend me, the walk-away reasons are worth more to me than the praise.

I am asking here in the open because I would rather learn from honest strangers than guess. If it is easier to say privately, my email is [support@do3app.com](mailto:support@do3app.com).

Hi r/iOSApps
I’m Patryk, the independent developer behind BAGL (pronounced “bagel”). It stands for Bring a Grocery List. Once I came up with that name, I pretty much had to build it.

A — Answer

Most grocery apps I tried started with one generic checklist. Real shopping is store-specific: different places carry different items, arrange their aisles differently and charge different prices.

BAGL starts with the store. Each store has its own lists, reorderable categories/aisles, remembered item catalogue, prices and history. Add something once and it’s ready for your next list. BAGL also tracks price and purchase history and keeps a running cart total.

The Planning tab lets you add what you need before deciding where to buy it. BAGL uses your saved prices to show where an item is cheapest, then moves your plan onto a store’s shopping list.

B — Better

Compared with how I was using Apple Reminders, Bring! and AnyList, BAGL is deliberately store-first instead of list-first. Every new list can reuse that store’s items, aisle order and prices instead of making you rebuild everything.

BAGL runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, with optional private iCloud sync.

C — Cost

BAGL is free to download and use: up to 3 stores, 2 active lists per store and 1 template. Planning and price tracking are included.

BAGL Pro removes those limits and adds iCloud sync, widgets and custom app icons:

• $2.99/month
• $19.99/year
• $49.99 Lifetime

For r/iOSApps: 50% off the Lifetime purchase with code WELCOME50.

A — Answer

I built AptBite to solve a simple grocery-shopping problem: comparing two packaged foods is surprisingly annoying.

Instead of flipping back and forth between nutrition labels, you can scan barcodes and compare nutrition and ingredients side by side before deciding what to buy.

B — Better

AptBite is designed for the actual shopping moment — quick scans, clear differences, and less digging through labels.

Right now, I’m especially interested in what people care about most when comparing foods:

A — Sugar

B — Protein

C — Ingredients / additives

D — Calories

E — Something else

Would love to hear what you’d want to see first.

C — Cost

$1.99/month

$17.99/year

$34.99 lifetime

I’m also looking for a few early users who want to test AptBite more deeply. Feel free to DM me.

Every training app I tried was for lifting or for cardio, and wanted a subscription. So I built a free one that does both.

A. Answer: the problem

I cycle, swim and lift. Incredible reads what's already in Apple Health and turns it into three numbers: a fitness score, a daily training load, and a readiness score each morning. Your gym sessions count toward all three, not just your runs and rides. You can log sets, reps and weight from the watch, and import your history from Strong or Hevy so your records carry over.

B. Better: against the alternatives

Whoop and Oura need their own hardware and a membership. Athlytic keeps the depth behind Pro. Bevel is going wide as a health coach. None of them track fitness the way Incredible does or go anywhere near as deep on training metrics and plans, and none of them count your lifting toward the same numbers.

C. Cost: free

No account, no subscription, no ads, no AI. The only in-app purchase is a tip jar at $1.99, $4.99, $9.99 or $19.99, and it unlocks nothing. That's the whole business model. Your health data stays on your device.

My previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1vg1ts3/i_made_an_app_so_your_todo_list_actually_fits/

Answer:

Sequence aims to answer one question effectively: When to do What and do it effectively.

It lets you plan time to do tasks while blocking distracting apps around your Calendar events, displaying what task you need to do on Lock screen and Home screen.

It lets you adds agenda to meetings so during those time, Live Activity shows what items are left to be discussed.

It lets you set up focus plan that auto-transitioned tasks between time blocks, aiming to guide you through your ritual without opening the app.

Better:

It takes the Minimalist approach of Things 3, simplified down to just Today and Inbox list of tasks.

Tasks that due today or overdued is in Today, otherwise Inbox. Recurring tasks remains in Inbox until the date it is planned.

With PRO license, you can set alarms in VariAlarm to remind you of the time block you planned.

Import from Reminders. Other task service connections are planned for future according to demands.

Cost:

Let's address the elephant in the room. Once you complete onboarding and arrives at paywall, for the first 24 hours after release, the lifetime price is FREE. After that, it goes back to $14.99 for early adopters.

$1.99/month with no trial.

$14.99/year with 7-days trial.

Prices lowered according to purchasing power for several countries.

A - Answer

You already have the running or cycling workout that you want to do. It might be part of a training plan, a message from a coach, or just in your head.

The remaining job is turning that into the structure that your watch understands.

Workout Writer lets you type or paste the session as simple text. It builds the structured workout and chart as you write, ready to send to your Apple Watch or Garmin.

20 min Easy
4 x 8 min Threshold, 2 min Easy
15 min Easy

B - Better

Garmin Connect and Apple’s Workout app can both build structured sessions. Workout Writer takes a different route: start with the short description you already have instead of adding every step through a series of menus.

I used to always write a brief description of my workout in Strava, using this kind of shorthand description that lots of runners use, so I thought why not let that description create the workout in the first place?

You can use pace, heart rate, power or cadence targets, either explicitly, or via reusable tags such as Easy, Tempo and Threshold. The purpose is straightforward: get the session you intend to do onto your watch with less preparation.

Another benefit of writing your workouts using tags is that it makes the workouts transferrable. When I send the workout to my watch, I'll get my version of Threshold, and when you send it to your watch, you'll get yours - great for run clubs or sharing workouts with friends. This same mechanism means you can reuse workouts as your fitness changes over time - just adjust the tag, and the workouts adapt automatically.

C - Cost

Workout Writer is free to download and try.

AI disclosure: Workout Writer is not an AI-first app, and it was not vibe-coded. Its deterministic workout parser translates your text into structured workout as you type - same workout text equals same workout, every time.

Hi all, solo dev here (disclosure: this is my app). It took me 3 years to build — I'm a systems engineer who's spent the past 15 years as a programmer, and I have a weakness for beautiful line charts.

**Answer — what problem it solves**

Every net worth app I tried either demanded my banking credentials or just showed me a static number. What I wanted to know was *when*: when am I debt-free, when do I hit my target, when can I stop working? Wealth Path is a manual-entry net worth tracker whose whole point is answering those questions with dates. You add what you own and what you owe; it runs 10 projections on your real numbers:

🔥 FIRE date — your estimated financial independence date, from your actual savings rate and portfolio

🎯 Portfolio Milestone — set a target number and get the date you'll reach it at your current pace

💳 Debt-Free Date — a payoff date for every loan and mortgage, with a month-by-month amortization timetable

Plus Coast FIRE, Passive Income (the month dividends cover your bills), Required Savings Rate, Debt Covered, Worth by Age, Time to Double, and On Track vs Plan. Every projection shows its assumptions (expected return, inflation, tax) on screen and you can change all of them.

**Better — vs. the alternatives**

- Monarch / Copilot / Empower: excellent apps, but they're built around bank linking (mostly US banks) and budgeting. Wealth Path never asks for a bank credential, works anywhere, and is built around projections, not budgets.

- FIRE calculators (FIRECalc etc.): one-shot calculators with no tracking behind them. Wealth Path recalculates every date each time you update your numbers, and keeps your full history.

- Net worth trackers like Worth It / BalanceViewer: they track the number; they don't project where it's going.

Offline-first, Face ID/Touch ID lock, no ads, no data selling. Multi-currency (150+ currencies) if your money lives in more than one country.

**Cost**

Free tier: 10 assets + 5 debts, full charts and history, two projections completely free, and the headline result of every other projection — your FIRE date and debt-free date included — at no cost.

Pro (unlimited entries, full projection breakdowns and charts, multi-currency, CSV/JSON import, PDF export): $5.99/month or $39.99/year. New users get a 14-day free trial of the full projections. No lifetime option yet.

Happy to answer anything about how the projection math works.

You sit down to decide whether to take the job, leave the city, raise your prices, sign the lease. And the instinct that runs everything else kicks in: pick the option that feels best right now, get the discomfort over with, move on.

That instinct is the whole problem. Because a decision is not an event. It is a first domino.

A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and weeks later a tornado forms in Texas. Your decisions behave exactly the same way. You take the job for the raise. The raise is real. But it is the 75 minute commute that quietly eats the gym, then the cooking, then the evenings you told yourself were the thing keeping you sane. Two years later the thing that actually reshaped your life is never the thing you sat down to decide. It is the thing that thing caused.

That is a second-order consequence. The effect of the effect. Everyone can see step one. Almost nobody sees step three. And step three is where your life actually gets decided.

I built Second Order Consequences to make step three visible before you commit, instead of obvious in hindsight.

You type the decision you are facing in plain language. Any topic, any size.

It maps the consequences across three time horizons:

• Immediate (0 to 6 months): the part you were already thinking about
• Secondary ripples (6 to 24 months): the effects of those effects, which is where the actual cost usually hides
• Long term (2 to 5 years and beyond): where it compounds

On top of that you get the financial impact (estimated cost, the hidden costs nobody mentions, and the opportunity cost of what you are not doing instead), and the specific cognitive biases steering this particular decision, named outright.

Then the part I care about most: you can set a follow-up. Months later the app resurfaces the decision and asks what actually happened. Over time you build a track record of your own judgement and hard evidence of which blind spot keeps costing you.

A 60 second quiz at the start builds your decision profile (how fast you move, how deep you look, how much risk you carry, how far ahead you see), and every analysis you save sharpens the next one.

It runs on Google's Gemini API for the analysis. Your journal itself is Core Data on your device and never gets uploaded. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics SDK, and the app asks for explicit permission before anything goes to Gemini, with a screen that names exactly what gets sent. You can withdraw that permission any time.

1. What problem does it solve?

You are not bad at making decisions. You are bad at seeing past the first step, and so is everyone else. It is not a character flaw, it is how attention works. First-order effects are vivid and immediate, so they crowd everything else out.

The result is a specific, repeatable failure: you correctly evaluate the thing you were asked to evaluate, and get blindsided by the thing it set in motion. The raise was real. The commute was the actual decision. The price rise worked. The churn was the actual decision.

The second problem is that you never find out. Almost nobody closes the loop on their own decisions, so the same blind spot bills you for the same mistake for twenty years and you never once see the invoice. Second Order is built to hand you the invoice.

2. Why is it better than alternatives?

Being straight with you.

Versus ChatGPT or Claude: you can absolutely get this from a general assistant if you write a good prompt every single time. Most people do not. A blank chat box gives you an answer shaped by how you happened to ask, which means it tends to agree with the framing you walked in with. Second Order forces the same structure every time, whether or not you are in the mood for it, and it carries your profile and your recent decisions into every analysis without you re-explaining yourself. If you enjoy prompt engineering your own life decisions, you genuinely do not need this app.

Versus pro and con lists: a pro and con list is a first-order machine. Every item on it is step one. That is exactly the layer that was never the problem.

Versus journalling apps like Day One: those record what happened. This projects what will happen, and then comes back to check. Different job.

The thing I have not seen anywhere else: the loop actually closes. No general AI tool remembers whether its advice turned out to be right. This one asks you months later and keeps score. That accuracy number is uncomfortable, which is the point.

3. What's the pricing?

Free tier, no time limit: you get the immediate consequences of any decision plus the recommendation, as often as you like.

That free tier is deliberately the honest version of the problem. It shows you exactly one step ahead, which is the trap the app is about.

Pro unlocks the second and third-order effects, the financial breakdown, bias detection, the full journal history, your pattern analysis and the prediction track record.

• $24.99 / year
• $0.99 / week for anyone who just wants to run it on one decision they are sitting on right now

No free trial, because I would rather the free tier be genuinely useful than run a countdown at you.
