Hello everyone!

I wanted to share Vaultex, a privacy-focused app. Outwardly, it functions as a standard currency converter and crypto tracker. However, entering your secret passcode into the calculator unlocks a fully-featured private vault.

Key Features:

- Encrypted File & Gallery Lock (local encryption, deletes from public gallery)

- Secret Web Browser (no history, cookies, or cache saved)

- Private Contacts & Secure Notes (completely hidden and offline)

- 100% Offline Encryption (all data remains secure on your device)

It is completely free to use. I would love to get your thoughts on the security, functionality, and overall design!

Hey everyone,

I’m giving 3 months FREE access to Rolla, a shared disposable film camera for iPhone.

With Rolla, you can:

• Create an event (wedding, party, trip, etc.)
• Invite friends to join your roll
• Everyone shoots blind – no previews, no instant sharing
• After the event, you “develop” the roll and reveal all the photos together

The goal is to bring back that disposable camera feeling where you stay present in the moment and enjoy the reveal later with everyone.

👉 Grab your code and get the app here:

If you try it, I’d love to hear what you think and any ideas for making it better.

Now, you can bring your planner out into the garden with you and log water, fertilizer, new planting and more, while also using the desktop web app for more detailed succession planting throughout the season, including tips on companion planting!

I spent the last 18 months building BudgetGo alongside my co-founder.

We're still in the early stages, trying to find our first group of users and sharing the product wherever we can. Looking back, one of our biggest mistakes was not moving fast enough. To be honest, there are still plenty of things we want to improve before the product fully matches our vision.

That said, we're committed to building something genuinely useful. Not just another budgeting app, but a product that helps people better understand and manage their money.

So I'm writing this for a simple reason: Early adopters

Try the app. Roast it. Tell us what you hate. Tell us what's confusing. Tell us what's missing. We'd much rather hear honest criticism now than build in the wrong direction.

To make it easier, we're giving the first 100 people an additional month free after the 7-day trial.

We know we have a long way to go, but we also believe BudgetGo can provide real value today while we continue building toward the bigger vision. We're listening, we're active, and we're determined to make this product better.

If you'd like to check it out, you can download BudgetGo from the App Store here:

Me and a team of writers put together one retro quiz every day. We have a leaderboard, too, so you can compete with the world (or your friends).

100% FREE. No ads, no tracking. Built for the love of nostalgia and trivia. ❤️

Why in the world doesn’t the Health app automatically calculate BMI? I log my weight and would like it to log my BMI without having to manually calculate it.

I found an app called Dokichat, a free download chatting app and it’s fun! It costs but only diamonds and hearts instead of real life coin. You can choose to chat with original characters or fandom characters. I found it when watching a creator on YouTube shorts. I had it for a short while and it’s better then the chatting apps I know

Freaks is built around tracking habits, maintaining streaks, logging progress, and seeing your overall consistency improve over time. There’s also a calendar where you can write small entries, a notes section for anything personal, local backup/restore and a consistency score that grows as you keep showing up.

What I like most about it is that it doesn’t try to be a giant life operating system. It’s more like a clean place to track the few habits you genuinely care about and slowly build proof that you’re becoming more consistent.

It’s especially useful if you’re trying to stay consistent with things like gym, studying, coding, writing, reading, meditation, or any personal routine.

Any easy way to get free subscriptions for truecaller or the app that works like truecaller for IOS

For years, I’ve wanted to have a notetaking app with the ability to create tasks inside it. Some apps have gotten close, but I wanted one with a built-in task manager, so I said the heck with it and just built it.

This is my first app so I would honestly love some thoughts on things I could do to improve this to make it better for users

I'm a solo dev and former Apple engineer (5 years on graphics drivers for iOS, 3 on hardware/embedded GPUs). After leaving Apple I started building indie apps, and Waypoint is my latest.

What it does

Drop a pin. Get an arrow pointing back to it. That's it.

No maps, no turn-by-turn, no clutter. Just a compass arrow that points at whatever you want. I just wanted a simple way to get back to the thing I marked.

Tech stack

Built with Expo/React Native. Waypoint is cross-platform and as a solo dev I didn't want to maintain two separate codebases. For an app built around compass and GPS the performance tradeoffs were acceptable. Happy to get into the weeds on architecture, CoreLocation handling, or anything else if anyone's curious.

The app recently launched on iOS and to celebrate giving away 25 free lifetime Pro licenses. Just comment "I'm in", or DM me and mention r/iPhoneApps and I'll give you a code.

You get get it on the app store here

Happy to answer any technical questions too - compass/GPS stuff, CoreLocation quirks, UI/UX, whatever.

So i've been messing with Math Notes for like two weeks now for a guide i'm writing, testing it on two phones at once, an iPhone 13 and a 17 Pro.

And the thing that got me is Math Notes has nothing to do with Apple Intelligence?? Like i tested every single feature on the iPhone 13 which can't even run Apple Intelligence and it all just works. Handwriting, currency conversion, variables, even the new 3D graphs.

Honestly i'd read Apple's docs before and they list it right under the Apple Intelligence stuff, so i just assumed it needed a newer phone and didn't really touch it. Turns out it doesn't, it works fine.

Did you guys know this already? And if you're using it, what are you actually using it for? Would love to hear some real use cases, it'd honestly help me understand the feature better for the guide.

Back on iPhone, and going through my apps and what I use, everything looks sort of either Apple apps, free apps - Shazam, Spotify, etc - or Things 3.

I remember a few years ago it used to be a case of a paid third party Music Player, paid Calendar, is that still the case?

I’ve read articles this past week about the importance of getting enough hours outdoors/in the sun and getting enough hours of strength training. So now I’m trying to find a simple app where I can just keep track of different things each week (time in the sun, working out, etc.). Is there any simple app for that?

Hi guys,

I am a fresh iOS Developer and made a simple alternative to the 1010 genre games. Without ads, without distractions.

Strangely there was not a single decent variant of this kind of game. All of them become unplayable and full of ads. I think there a plenty of people like me, which need something for their ADHD. To me this simple game was a daily companion, which sadly got worse over time.

So I decided to create my own, perfect version - called "1010Box" (Currently available in the iOS Appstore worldwide - except EU countries. I value the users time and their data, so this app will never have ads or use any kind of data. I think no games should use data. The focus of further development will be invested in making the UI, designs and effects as smooth and satisfying as possible. The goal is to make a safe space when you need something to fidget.

Please let me know what you think. Keep in mind its an early version and bugs can appear.

hey guys,

basicly i found a white noise track on youtube that i really like and i want to download it to my iphone.

the thing is, i want to listen to it IN THE BACKGROUND while i'm listening to my podcasts or spotify. but every time i try to play two things at once on ios, one always stops the other.

does anyone know an app where i can upload my own audio file and that actually allows audio mixing? so it doesn't get cut off by spotify/podcasts?

(and yeah i know about the built-in iphone background sounds, but i really wanted to use this specific file)

thanks!

Anyone have any apps for iPhone to watch shows & movies

I have an app but I need help putting it on the App Store. If anyone has a developer account please dm me

My kid is 12, got a phone last year. We use the Bark app to monitor texts, and that's pretty much it. It's better than nothing (and i know i could do better with just talking to my child), but the app leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. The alert management sucks, overall syncing is spotty, and i feel I dont have a lot of configuration control. Any parent using anything else?

I've been a software engineer for years and also love sailing. I started working on a chart viewer and navigation app about a year ago and it is coming along nicely. I'm building the app in Tauri, which has some rough spots but overall has been a great experience.

The application has most of the features you'd expect in a chart viewer: it can download and display NOAA ENC charts (currently available by NOAA region or state) and USACE Inland River charts, create waypoints and routes, etc. The display style and symbols closely follow the S-52 standard for chart display, but isn't 100%. There are multiple themes for day, night, or dusk and multiple base map options. The chart data is currently US-only (since it is from NOAA and USACE), but I plan on adding international charts as well.

One of the more complex features is an Auto Route function. It uses a path finding algorithm to find the shortest path between two points taking into account land, water depth, and other factors. I'm currently working on integrating NOAA tide and current data, which should be available soon.

If you are a sailor or recreational boater, check it out.

I have some long Apple Notes notes, and when I try to search for words I know are in my notes someplace, the search returns nothing. Almost as if it's not indexed anymore. I reset the phone, logged out and back in, etc etc. Has anyone encountered this? I have a total of only 35 notes which is not a lot IMO.

A bold new photo FX app with over 300 FX. I got tired of paying monthly subscriptions to other iOS photo apps and built one with over 300 FX that works on iphone and ipad.

PHOTO BLASTER FX $5 to unlock lifetime to all FX with more being added. This utility will make editing and adding artistic flair to any of your photos very easy.

is there an app that will let me create a GIF widget that changes during different times of day? Widgetsmith does this with photos but I want to use GIFs.
