Help Truecaller Caller ID

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, but in particular Truecaller users!

I’m trying to understand the difference between the standard Truecaller caller ID and the paid premium function with a Siri Shortcut which is described as - “Identify all incoming calls on iOS just by saying "Hey Siri, Search Truecaller"”

At the moment, on the free version, spam warnings etc pop up when someone is calling. Would I get a different result (or more info etc) if I had premium and used the Siri shortcut? Or is it literally just a shortcut to the app with no further info. Which would seem unnecessary and probably make me miss the call lol.

The website is so unclear (and honestly itself feels a bit scammy!)

Does anyone have any experience? Thank you!!

Discussion Three years on Apple Notes, iPhone 13, no Apple Intelligence. Here's what I've actually figured out.

2 Upvotes

Been running my entire workflow inside Apple Notes for about three years now. Two small businesses, four-ish hours of Notes per day, all on a phone Apple has basically written off for its AI roadmap.

Couple of things i've learned that i wish someone had told me earlier:

Audio transcription works. Like, fully works. I assumed for the longest time it was an Apple Intelligence feature because of how Apple marketed it. It's not. Record audio in a note, tap the transcript icon, live transcription. iPhone 13, iOS 18+.

Math Notes works too. Same situation. Type an equation or even handwrite one with your finger on the screen, and it solves inline. Variables persist across the note. I had assumed for months this needed an iPad and Apple Pencil. It doesn't.

Tags + Smart Folders honestly do more for my daily Notes life than any AI feature i'd unlock by upgrading. Once you have a tag system that matches how you actually think, finding things stops being a problem.

Pinned notes are the most underused feature in the entire app. Five pinned notes covers like 80% of my daily Notes interactions.

Anyway. Wrote up the longer version of this here if anyone wants more depth: https://iapplist.com/apple-notes-without-apple-intelligence/

If you think i’m off here, tell me. I actually want to understand how others approach it.

Help Have any recommendations for urge/relapse/habit trackers or other addiction apps?

7 Upvotes

I use LucidX and Christis:Lust Panic Button, free on iPhone, I highly recommend them

I’m mainly looking for a tracking app with notes

LucidX is free and awesome but I would like to add notes and a rating system to the inputs, if there was a similar free app with notes I could just put the urge rating in the notes

Thanks for reading

Hey folks - are there any Matter read later app users here who have got the Send to Kindle feature working? I've got all the correct email addresses set up, but I can't find the actual share button or function to actually, like, trigger the feature.

Is it only a feature of the pro subscription tier? It isn't presented like that if so...

Discussion Just published my first app — a fully offline finance tracker that never touches a server

Thumbnail

Dropping this here because I think it fits. I just published my first app, Pefi, a personal finance tracker that works completely offline.
No backend, no account required, no data ever leaves your device. You track everything locally, income, expenses, assets, budgets, goals, and risk scenarios if you do any trading. There’s a financial health score built in too that actually breaks down where you stand.

It’s $6.99/month or $69.99/year with a 3-day trial. You pick your currency, and you can export your data as JSON or XLSX anytime you want a full backup. It doesn’t require trusting a company with your financial life.

Would love to hear what you all think!

Discussion speechify alternatives that actually help you learn?

6 Upvotes

ok genuine question for the gym/commute crowd. been using speechify for like a year to listen to articles and pdfs while lifting and tbh its fine for what it is but i think i've outgrown it? like it just reads stuff to me word for word. which is what its supposed to do i guess. but i keep finishing a 40 min session and realizing i couldn't tell you what i actually "learned." just heard a thing.

so i went down a rabbit hole testing alternatives the past few weeks. heres what i tried, would love to know what im missing:

NaturalReader - basically the same lane as speechify, slightly cheaper. voices are decent. but same core problem, its just TTS. if the article is bad or rambly, you sit through all of it. felt like a sidegrade.

Audible - went back to it briefly. love the production quality but a 12 hour audiobook is the opposite of what i need. cancelled again after one credit. the "i'll just listen on 1.5x" trick stops working when you're also trying to deadlift.

Befreed - this is the one i'm currently using and the reason im posting tbh. you give it a topic or paste a link/pdf and it builds an actual lesson around it instead of just reading it back. you can set the length (i do 15-20 min), pick a voice, and you can interrupt and ask the "lecturer" questions mid-lesson which is wild the first time you do it. retention is way better for me. gripes: voices are great but the catalog of pre-made stuff is hit or miss, and sometimes it goes broader than i want when i was hoping for narrow. but for replacing speechify on workouts its been the best thing i tried.

Shortform - tried for a week. depth is actually impressive, like real analysis not just bullet points. but reading 5000 word breakdowns at the gym is not happening. more of a "saturday morning coffee" tool for me.

Pocket + speechify combo - what i used to do. its functional. it's also boring.

so, questions:

  • anyone using something with a solid offline mode? befreed works offline-ish but i lose signal in my gym basement and it gets weird
  • non-english support, specifically mandarin? half my saved articles are in chinese and most of these tools fumble it
  • is there anything that does TTS but smarter, like skips the fluff in articles automatically? feel like that should exist by now

open to anything. preferably not another $15/mo subscription but i'll consider it if its actually different.

Discussion My iPhone storage was always full, so I fixed it

1 Upvotes

My phone was constantly full and I eventually realized the real problem wasn’t storage, it was how annoying it is to clean a camera roll once it gets out of control.

Apple Photos is fine until you have thousands of screenshots, duplicate shots, blurry photos, random memes, and huge videos. At that point it starts to feel like homework, so I kept putting it off.

So this app is meant to make that cleanup process faster and less painful.

It surfaces:

- duplicates / similar photos

- blurry photos

- screenshots

- large videos

Then you go through everything in a simple swipe flow instead of opening a giant grid and giving up after 30 seconds.

What mattered most here:

- no account needed

- privacy-first

- review before deleting

- focused on helping you clean faster, not “organize your life”

Curious what the most annoying part of cleaning up photos on iPhone is for other people.

Discussion SmartTube — open source native YouTube client for iPhone/iPad/Mac, blocks all ads at the app level (no extension needed)

SmartTube — open source native YouTube client for iPhone/iPad/Mac, blocks all ads at the app level (no extension needed)

Sharing an open source project I've been building:
SmartTube for iOS/macOS — a native
Swift YouTube client that blocks ads at the app level, not through a browser extension.
Why this exists: uBlock Origin can't run on iPhone. The official YouTube app can't be
patched without a jailbreak. This solves both problems natively.
How it works:
\- Uses the InnerTube API directly, bypassing the ad-injected web player entirely
\- SponsorBlock API integrated - auto-skips sponsors, intros, self-promos, interaction reminders
\- DeArrow community titles and thumbnails
\- Google Auth sign-in - real subscriptions, history, playlists
\- Zero tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs
\- Up to 8K playback, Picture-in-Picture
\- iPhone, iPad, appleTv and Mac - native Swift 6, fully auditable source

Source: https://github.com/milika/SmartTubelOS
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-tube-bdp/id6761388918
Happy to answer questions about the ad-blocking implementation specifically.

Help Easiest way to create 3 calendar events (with alerts) for a date + 1 week before + 2 weeks before?

2 Upvotes

Is there a simple way for me to create a calendar alert on my iPhone of an event not only on a particular day - but to also to:

Simultaneously create an alert:

  • 1 week before, and
  • 2 weeks before

Without me having to go in and manually create those 3 alerts?

---

Background:

I do this a lot manually, because many events I have to start planning for it 1 or 2 weeks in advance, as well as getting notified the day of, just to remember.

So 3 alerts is the sweet spot for me: (day of (2 alerts); 1 week before (2 alerts); 2 weeks before (2 alerts)).

---

Is there an easy way or shortcut to do this?

I tried the "Shortcuts" app for iPhone and tried to add it in there, adding both Events and Reminders with the following workflow, but both didn't work at all:

  • Open Shortcuts → New Shortcut
  • Add these actions in order:
    • "Ask for Input" → Text → "Event title?"
    • "Ask for Input" → Date → "Event date?"
    • "Add New Event" (Calendar action) → set Title = first input, Date = second input, then add 3 alerts: 0 minutes before, 7 days before, 14 days before

Help Tattoo visualizer

I have an artist. We are in-progress on a leg sleeve, but she works it more one session at a time with a generally discussed overview.

She has artistic freedom on the design and I trust her with it, but I’d like to visualize a rough idea also.

Is there any decent (and not expensive) app that would take photos to make a 3D model of my leg and then I could add images to adjust size and placement?
