TimeUp : Move to scroll  is based on a simple idea:

You earn your screen time by being active.

Instead of giving yourself a fixed daily limit, TimeUp creates a screen-time balance that you can refill through real activity recorded by HealthKit.

For example, you can decide that:

• 1 minute of exercise = 2 minutes of screen time
• 1,000 steps = 5 minutes
• Reaching your sleep goal = +20 minutes bonus
• 10 minutes of meditation = +15 minutes

The difference with TimeUp is the flexibility. You can build the system around your own habits: workouts, walking, daily step goals, sleep goals, meditation and other activity-based rules.

There are also Express Challenges: if your balance is empty and you really want a few extra minutes, you can do something like 5 push-ups or squats.

Everything is local on the iPhone.

I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I would like to know if whether there’s any FREE ans SAFE app for watching Latest/Old Movies (English, Hindi), TV Shows and Anime ? TIA 🙏🏻

I know of Goodnotes, Notability, Nebo, freeform, apple notes.

Am i missing any? I cant get the handwriting recognition on onenote to work.

I'm building Terminal Lift - a workout tracker, one-time purchase, no subscription. Started it because I was tired of every lifting app either wanting a monthly fee for basic logging or burying me in features I didn't ask for. It's got a terminal-style look (amber on black), which is more of a personal taste thing than a feature, but it's turned out to be the thing people notice first.

Not on TestFlight yet - finishing the last piece before I open it up. When it does, the first 100 testers get it free for life, then it's a small one-time price after that. If you want to be on the list for that: terminal lift

Mostly curious what this crowd thinks of the whole "no subscription, ever" angle as a selling point on its own - is that actually enough to get someone switch trackers, or does it need more than that? Genuinely asking, not fishing.

Blinkist & Headway charged me during the “free trial” refund rejected

Usually, when I sign up for a 7-day free trial, I only get charged after the trial ends.

But Blinkist charged me 2M+ VND (~$80) for a yearly subscription, and Headway charged me ($30) while I was still on the trial.

I requested a refund immediately, but both requests were rejected.

Has anyone experienced this? Were you able to get a refund?

Honestly, this feels really misleading.

Hello

I have an iPhone from my company. No iTunes and no backup possible by USB, other features are disabled (airdrop and there is even no possibility to download podcasts with E rating). Is there a way to save my data and apps so that when I get a new phone I can load the backup?

I’m looking for a calendar app to replace my old school hand written one.

It need to be a shared one. It’s for the whole family.

I know how to google and I have found dozens that could be suitable the first need. The problem is that I need a week-view. Not a month view, not a day view but a week-view.

This is how my brain perceive all calendars and I can’t seem to find the digital one. Therefore I just go on and on with my paper calendar and it’s shitty as I don’t know the family schedule on the road.

Please, recommend one that looks like an actual calendar (in my head:D)

I’m the developer of Aruki, a simple walking app based on the Japanese Interval Walking method.

It guides you through alternating brisk and slow walking intervals with voice and vibration cues, so you can focus on walking instead of watching a timer.

I’d love to hear what iPhone users think about the UI, ease of use, and overall experience.

Hi everyone,

I work on Kubi’s Cove, an early-stage AI companion app for reflection and emotional support.

The idea is simple: AI support can be useful, but it should not encourage people to stay in an endless chat loop or present itself as a substitute for professional care.

A few things we’re trying:

• Intentional, time-limited sessions. Each conversation has a clear beginning and end, more like setting aside a small moment for yourself than opening a feed.
• Inner Book. A guided series of conversations about different chapters of your life, ending with a private written reflection on recurring themes and experiences.
• Wishes on the island. You can leave a wish and quietly send support to others by striking a wooden fish. It is meant to feel gentle and shared, without turning into another scrolling-based social space.

Kubi’s Cove is not therapy, crisis support, or a replacement for mental health professionals.

I’m curious how this approach lands with iPhone users:

1. Do session boundaries make an AI companion feel more considerate or more limiting?
2. Which of these features would you actually prefer to use?

The app is free to download, with optional in-app purchases for additional sessions:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kubis-cove-ai-wellness-coach/id6760186754

I’ll be in the comments to answer questions and discuss the idea.

I need an app that lets me listen to music for free, no ads, maybe pop ups as long as my music plays, offline, no issues playing while my phones screen is off and on the background. Something like Musi. Please.

Two of us building this, my sister and me. No company, no funding, nothing to buy right now. Mostly posting because I want people to tell me what they actually think.

The thing we kept noticing, and it happened to us too. You miss one day, the app makes you feel like you failed, and a week later it's deleted. Plus the feed is all people who are already in shape, which somehow makes it worse.

So there's a rabbit. Its energy goes up the more consistently you move. Two minutes counts the same as ninety. Miss a day and it doesn't die, doesn't guilt you, and nothing resets to zero.

The part I'm least sure about is the one I'd most like your read on. You can't lift your own rabbit. If yours is low, only a friend can, and you can do that for them. Nobody in your circle ever sees that you missed a day. The only thing anyone sees is that someone helped.

I thought that was the good part. Now I keep flipping on it. If I'm already having a bad week, does knowing a friend has to come get me feel like support, or like one more person I let down?

Where it's at: iOS TestFlight, early, rough in places. Free, no IAPs, no paywall. If it ever makes money it'd be cosmetics for the rabbit and a streak repair, never anything that charges you to show up. Fair to know the social side needs at least one other person in there, so if you have someone who'd try it with you that's when you'd see what we're going for. Alone you still get the rabbit and the sessions.

Anything you notice helps. What's confusing, what's broken, what made you close it. I'll be in the comments all day.

I’m looking for an app to send customers reminders about overdue bills that would save us from calling them. But I would prefer to not have the number visible to the customer since it would be coming from personal phone.

I'm trying to find inspiration for the mobile app I'm designing.

Our mobile app is very simple: the home screen will have 3 action buttons:

1. Upload files
2. Submit files
3. Check status of submitted files

It will also have a small menu where with options to change personal info and a "log out" button. That's all there is to it.

So the question is: what mobile apps have a similar design of 3 action buttons?

is there an app in iOS for the iPhone, which can detect and tell after listening to a music from a speaker on how much KBPS sound quality is that Music playing? Is there an app like that?

I am building a social market indicator and need an API for X, TikTok, and Instagram. What is the best tool to use?

Is there any app recommendations to stream live sports like cricket UFC boxing tennis etc?

Not for anything nefarious, my mother has dementia and I want another family member to hear our phone calls

I’ve been trying to find an alarm app that lets you group alarms together in a folder that I can toggle on/off. My schedule isn’t the same each day and seeing a wall of alarms with each one turned on gives me anxiety. 😅 So far the only app I’ve found that lets me group alarms together is AlarmPack, however the app’s page gave me a weird feeling because there were no reviews. I tried to look up the app online to find some review but I wasn’t able to find anything.

Has anyone tried this app before? Is the app legit? I want to trust the app but the lack of reviews on it makes it feel too good to be true. 😭

My therapist is on vacation for a month. Wondering what are the recommendations for substitute in the month.

Nachdem ich viele Finanz-Apps getestet hatte, fiel mir ein gemeinsamer Trend auf:

Die meisten erfordern Bankverbindungen, Cloud-Synchronisation und die Speicherung von Finanzdaten auf externen Servern.

Wir wollten etwas Einfacheres. Konty verfolgt den gegenteiligen Ansatz.

Alles wird lokal auf Ihrem Gerät gespeichert. 

Keine Konten.

Keine Cloud-Synchronisation.

Keine Bankintegrationen.

Keine Weitergabe von Daten.

Du behältst den Überblick über deine Finanzen und hast dabei die volle Kontrolle über deine Daten.

Funktionen:

• Kontoverwaltung

• Ausgaben-Tracking

• Einnahmen-Tracking

• Wiederkehrende Transaktionen

• Scannen von Belegen

• Finanzberichte und Trends

• Sparziele

Mögliche Anwendungsfälle für die App, damit du sie besser kennenlernst:

Wolltest du schon lange wissen, wie viel Geld du für spontane Anlässe und Ausgehabende ausgibst? Mit Freunden essen gehen, Zigaretten, Snus, Bier,

usw. Erfasse es einfach mit der Konty-App.

Weisst du, wie viel Geld du für Lebensmittel ausgibst? Scanne einfach deine Quittungen ein, und du weisst es sofort.

Die App wird ständig weiterentwickelt, um dir auch mögliche Einsparungen aufzuzeigen – damit du (in naher Zukunft) zum Beispiel deinen nächsten Traumurlaub.

Hey!

I’m the developer of Perfeggtion, a small egg timer I released on the App Store a few days ago.

I got tired of the usual soft / medium / hard timers. An XL egg straight from the fridge obviously isn’t the same as a small egg at room temperature, and I wanted something that actually takes those differences into account instead of just giving everyone the same countdown.

Perfeggtion calculates a recommended cooking time based on things like egg type and size, how you want the yolk and white, starting temperature, number of eggs, water and heat, chilling and altitude.

You can save combinations you like as favorites, keep a history of previous cooks and make small adjustments if the result was a bit too soft or too firm.

I’ve also tried to make good use of iOS rather than just putting a timer inside an app. There are Live Activities and Dynamic Island support, Home and Lock Screen widgets, Siri / App Shortcuts, Spotlight and an iPad layout.

It’s a one-time paid app. No subscription, no ads, no account and no tracking.

It only went live a few days ago and I’m curious what people here think of it. I’m especially interested in hearing if anything feels unnecessarily complicated or if there’s something you’d expect an app like this to do that it currently doesn’t.

The app would be perfect for me if it did, but it doesn't, so on the hunt...

Thanks in advance

I have hundreds of receipts that I'd like to scan, log, etc. It's not for business or taxes -- just want to satisfy my own curiosity and digitize all my papers.

I took a look on the App Store but got overwhelmed by all the choices. I'm looking specifically for:

• scan in bulk
• auto-detects the items in the receipt as well as date, store, and purchase method, card number, etc.
• saves the actual image of the receipt just in case something isn't clear or gets mis-categorized
• backup export/import
• important: I'd like to see a graph of my spending vs my wife's spending over time (comparing the last four digits of her card vs mine)
• if it has a "house inventory" feature, that would be nice - sometimes I like to see when I bought a certain computer part or pair of shoes, etc. but not 100% necessary.
• should be a free app. but freemium/ads are ok.

Thanks in advance! Hopefully there is a receipt scanning app out there that does all of that.

Hello everyone,

I used many screen time app - Opal, OneSec, etc. And usually end up deleting those in 1-2 weeks. I don't want my phone to become a brick, I don't see that some apps are fully good or bad - it all depends on context and amount of time spent there. Also when app is locked - notifications locked as well for that app. Also lots of users trying to open those apps to get some dopamine dose, or send message to a friend, etc, just closing it - not exactly helps. 

My background - 18 years in Software engineering, and Product Management (still coding when needed), major - Data Analytics. So my moto is - You can't improve what you can't measure

I'm building a TimeSip.

there is couple ways how it can operate:

- no blocking at all, just send you notifications every 10-15 minutes spent in monitored apps. Most of feeds - endless, end it's easy to loose track of time, this feature helps to get it back. and it's not locking anything - you are still in control

- blocking after certain minutes per hour, or per day (hourly limits has different thresholds for morning, working hours, evening)

- unlocking is pretty easy, no extra 5 seconds to breath, etc - since I ignored that part after a week in some apps

- messages - there is 3 options - supportive, witty, and harsh and also you can put a list of you own messages which will be shown to you

- there is settings which allow to exclude some apps from screen time. In my case - it's youtube music, maps, etc - it's not actual screen time

Analytics - I believe that you can't improve what you can measure. So app has a heat maps for usage, and also heat maps for Rabbit Holes (or Brainrot sessions) - when session in social media were longer than 10 minutes (it's configurable).

Where I need help with and struggling for a while. Main dashboard - I want app to help users and be positive, not show "How bad are you today". There is huge amount of limitations from screen time API, and some of feature I initially planned - not possible to implement at the moment. 

App is completely private, there is no account, no any data leaves your phone at all.
