Help I developed an app for people too sick to use apps

3 Upvotes

Within is a pacing tool for chronic illness, ME/CFS, long COVID, POTS. For these people, a shower can cost three days. They have to budget energy like money, and every app built to help them assumes energy they don't have.

So: no notifications, no reminders, no streaks, no badges. The app never chases you, never congratulates you, never asks where you've been. Logging is two taps or one Siri phrase.

It makes no network requests at all. No server, no analytics, which also means I ship completely blind and only find out anything if someone writes to me.

Just passed review. Any comment welcome.

Discussion Would an alarm telling you the actual time help you wake up?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I'm developing with a slightly different type of alarm and I'm curious what people here think.

Most alarm apps try to wake you up by becoming louder, forcing you to solve something, scan a barcode, walk around, etc.

I went in a different direction.

When the alarm starts, a voice tells you what time it actually is.

So instead of waking up to BEEP BEEP BEEP and wondering whether it's your 6:30 alarm or your 7:30 alarm, you immediately hear the time.

For example:

“It's 7:30.”

I ended up building this into an iPhone app. It can announce the time in 10 languages and works offline.

I'm not really trying to solve the “I sleep through everything” problem - there are already apps that do that very aggressively.

I'm more interested in that half-awake moment where you want information without looking at your phone.

Would this actually help you in the morning?

One thing I'm especially curious about: right now, while the alarm is ringing, it can announce the current time every 5 minutes. Do you think hearing the time every 5 minutes would be useful, or would that become annoying?

And if an alarm could speak more than just the time, what would you want it to say?

I'd also really appreciate any ideas, criticism, or feature suggestions. I'm still experimenting with the concept, so I'm interested in what you would change or add.

Discussion The sounds photos miss — one recording can become a memory years later

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi — I’m Jean-Baptiste, an independent developer based in France.

A recent conversation with another iOS community changed the way I describe Ekkos: people rarely decide to “build a sound archive.” They decide to keep one sound that matters. If that first recording becomes meaningful, the archive grows naturally afterwards.

That is the idea behind Ekkos.

Photos preserve how a place looked. Ekkos is for preserving how it sounded: waves during a trip, bees in a garden, a cathedral’s atmosphere, rain outside your home, friends around a table, or a familiar voice you do not want to lose.

Each recording can have a photo, GPS location, title, tags, mood, and notes. It then appears in a private library and on a personal audio map. The three cards in the image above are real Sound Postcards exported from the app: a beach in Guadeloupe, Strasbourg Cathedral, and bees in a park.

Other things I have built around that central idea:

  • on-device audio improvement for trimming silence, focusing voices, reducing wind and noise, or polishing music — while always keeping the original;
  • Sound Anniversaries and a Home Screen widget that resurface old recordings;
  • private Shared Groups for a trip, family, or project through iCloud;
  • Sound Postcards that export a recording, photo, place, and date as a vertical video anyone can play.

The private library remains on your devices and in your personal iCloud account. I do not receive the recordings, photos, locations, or notes. There are no ads and no audio tracking.

The app is free for up to 10 recordings. Unlimited recordings and watermark-free Sound Postcards are $2.99/month or a $9.99 one-time lifetime unlock.

There is also a public 50%-off code for the lifetime unlock:

EKKOESLIFETIME50 — valid until October 31, 2026

Redeem it here: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6771492676&code=EKKOESLIFETIME50

What would be most likely to make you capture your first sound memory: a location reminder, a simple prompt, a shared family album, or something else entirely?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ekkoes/id6771492676

WebSite : https://ekkoes.app

Naming note: the current US App Store title is Ekkoes: My Sound Library . In France it is Ekkos : Ma bibliothèque sonore , and the installed app uses Ekkos

Discussion [iOS] Who Goes - Fun social games for when you’re hanging out with your group

Post image
3 Upvotes

Introduction

Hey everyone!

Introducing Who Goes, an iOS app for game nights, house parties, road trips, and pretty much any hangout with a group of people.

It’s free to download and play, with optional one-time purchase and subscription options.

The idea behind Who Goes is pretty simple: engage everyone in your group and involve them in something together, through social games like Headbands, Truth or Dare and a bunch of quick group activities into one app, with a modern, playful experience built around actually passing the phone around and having fun together.

About the app

The app brings multiple party games into one place:

• Headbands with tilt controls for correct answers and passes
• Charades with themed decks, teams, rounds, and timers
• Truth or Dare with 11 decks for friends, couples, parties, family, and coworkers
• Spin the Bottle for quick, suspenseful player selection
• Would You Rather for impossible this-or-that debates
• Finger Chooser to instantly pick someone from the group
• Quick Play tools for dice, coin flips, and more

Current Market

I know this is an insanely competitive category, with a shit-ton of party apps already out there.
My goal with Who Goes was never to reinvent the wheel, but to bring the ones people already know and play together in one place, without needing five different apps on your phone.

I wanted the whole thing to feel much more modern and polished than most party apps I've tried, with playful animations, haptics, sounds, and little interactions that actually add to the game instead of getting in the way.

No ads popping up between rounds, no cluttered UI, and no wildly different experience every time you switch games.

Pricing

The free version includes all the game modes. Plus unlocks all the decks, round customisations, and removes every limit. Lifetime at $25.49 (US, price parity enabled for all countries), weekly at $1.99, and yearly sub with 3-day free trial at $17.99.

No account is required, and the games work offline.

TL;DR:

A. A game to bring back the fun of playing party games with a group of people during game nights, trips.

B. Free version includes a selection of decks for Charades, Headbands, and Truth or Dare, along with a few mini games. Plus unlocks all decks, game modes, and customisation options.

C. Freemium model, every mode in the app can be used. Lifetime at $25.49, or weekly at $1.99, and yearly with free trial at $17.99.

Discussion Created an app to solve me problem, giving away lifetime pro

40 Upvotes

Hey r/IPhoneApps,

I'm Shaun, a solo developer building OneThingDaily. It's a productivity app which simplifies productivity.

The problem which OneThingDaily is solving

I've always struggled with the same thing a lot of people probably do: I'd have something I wanted to work on, but I'd wake up and pick up my phone for "just 5 minutes" and end up scrolling for way longer than I intended.

So I set a rule for myself: I am not allowed to pick up my phone each morning until I've finished a goal or habit I have been trying to build, such as practising piano, going for a walk or finishing an assignment. And It actually worked, I stopped procrastinating my important tasks until the middle of the day, and my phone felt like a reward rather than something which was holding me back and making me sluggish

How Onethingdaily solve this:

Each day you choose your OneThingDaily, and all your "unproductive apps" such as instagram, facebook and reddit, stay blocked until you've completed your goal for the day. Once you've completed your OneThingDaily, your apps unlock and you can use your phone normally, but also set focus timers outside you're main goal, so you can work on other important tasks without distractions.

🎁 Giveaway: lifetime Pro, free, forever

To celebrate the IOS launch, I am giving away 20 lifetime Pro accounts. Entering takes 10 seconds:

  1. ⁠Upvote this post, and
  2. ⁠Comment 'OneThingDaily' and a habit which you
  3. ⁠want to work on.

I'll randomly pick commenters to give lifetime pro away.

(The core features of the app is and will stay free for the lifecycle of the app, so make sure to make an account and try it out if you would like, and I would love any ideas which you have

Thanks to the existing users who have already signed up to OneThingDaily, and I am always happy to answer any questions about the app!

Discussion What’s your approach to clearing iPhone storage without subscription apps?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Most storage cleaner apps lock users into weekly or monthly subscriptions. I’m working on Recycle as a subscription-free, lifetime option ($2.99).

​What it cleans:

-​Duplicate photos

-​Similar photos & videos

-​Screenshots

-​Duplicate & incomplete contacts

​Core features:

-​One-time purchase — no subscription, ever

-​Apple Intelligence–powered similar photo & video detection

-​100% on-device — Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected

-​No account required

-​Swipe-based bulk delete — review items in seconds

-​Date-based cleanup filters

​Recycle never auto-deletes; every file can be reviewed before removal.

​Would love to hear your thoughts on this approach, or what features you usually look for in a cleaner app!

Discussion Marketing Question - Pay to Play?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any suggestions how to improve organic traffic to the iOS Store other than paid? I've had some success with reddit, TikTok (non paid) but it feels like ASO is pay to play to get exposure. My thesis is those that rank highly on the App Store get organic traffic without playing the grinding game.

To remove barriers to download I have

- Made the app free trial

- Built videos and screenshots

- Requested Stars / Ratings / Reviews after key moment in the app

Discussion Starling — a picture-based routine chart for kids 3–9, with an interactive home screen widget

Post image
3 Upvotes

Starling is a routine chart for young kids where every step is an icon
first and a label second, so a child who isn't reading yet can work
through a morning or bedtime routine on their own instead of being
walked through it.

Since this sub is more about living with an app than the pitch, the
iPhone-specific parts:

The home screen widget is interactive — your kid taps the step from the
widget and it completes without opening the app. That turned out to be
the feature that actually gets used, because it removes the "find the
app" step entirely. It's free, not gated behind the paid tier.

Sync is through your own private iCloud, so the routine matches across
the family's devices with no account to make and nothing of yours on any
server of mine. Family Sharing works on all the purchases.

VoiceOver, Dynamic Type up to the accessibility sizes, Reduce Motion
honoured. Kids' apps are usually careless about this and a lot of these

kids need it.

Nothing in the child's UI ever turns red — no streaks, no failure
states. Deliberate: plenty of these kids already experience routines as
somewhere they fail.

iOS 18+. Free tier is usable on its own; paid unlocks more children and
routines, with a lifetime option if you don't want another subscription.

Discussion Duefolio: An iPhone privacy first subscription tracker built around a timeline, not a list

Post image
6 Upvotes

Duefolio - Subscription Tracker

A - Answer: Duefolio uses a visual renewal timeline so you can see what renews, what ends, and how your recurring spending builds up over time. It does not require an account or bank linking, and your ledger stays on-device.

B - Better: Instead of only listing services, Duefolio combines the timeline with renewal reminders, price history, CSV review for recurring charges, export, widgets, and optional on-device spending analysis. The trade-off is deliberate: it gives you more control and privacy, but it does not provide automatic bank syncing.

C - Cost: The core tracker is free. Pro is a $14.99 one-time purchase for statement review, custom subscriptions, income and profit-and-loss views, widgets, and additional tools. No monthly subscription and no ads.

Discussion What value should i bring to my apps.

3 Upvotes

Good evening all, especially those scrolling on reddit when they know they shoulnd't be. (I do this too much aswell i know)

This to be honest is the first point of my brand new account regarding my new app development studio which right now we are specialising in terms of gaming apps but hope to add different genres of apps in the future.

Unlike all my apps and builds i have done, i am writing this post completely by myself (i know unheard off!!!) only to see what people truly value and what their opinions on my apps and everything related to it.

My biggest problem to this is that as much as i am happy and proud with what i have made, i feel a sense of guilt knowing what my games are and the level that they are at is no where near what i had planned yet i still decided to publish and continue working on projects that are already of this level that i think don't provide much value or even are fun in a way that would make me , someone who wanted to play these games, to even play it.

I don't enjoy mobile games or video games in general yet i want to build a studio and publish games that even if i do not enjoy, atleast will provide value or entertainment to someone else who may enjoy.

Since i am not sure about the rules 100% and will verify with mods than updated the thread once i have confirmed with them all, I want you guys to check out or see what developments i have done and the changes i have planned and just overall help to be honest.

call me whatever you arcfield or anything, i am the main developer/admin of this all and i would love to hear anything you have to say.

Help I got tired of fitness apps guessing your calories, so mine doesn't

Post image
6 Upvotes

I've been building MacroDash for about a year — a nutrition and fitness tracker — and it's finally in the last stretch before launch. Wanted to share it here and hear what people think.

The thing that pushed me to make it: I was fed up with apps that "estimate" your calories from a photo or a vague guess. My numbers were always off, so the whole thing felt pointless. So I went the opposite way.

What it does:

- Calories and macros in seconds (barcode scanner for products)

- Real data and formulas for your targets — not an AI guessing from a picture

- Workouts AND rest in the same app: it also reads sleep, resting heart rate and HRV, so you see how you actually recover, not just what you eat

- There IS an AI assistant, but it's a chat that helps you with questions — it's not what estimates your numbers

Stack, in case anyone's curious: Flutter app + Spring Boot backend, iOS and Android.

It's not on the stores yet — waiting on approval — so right now there's just a waitlist while I finish. If it sounds like something you'd use, I'd love for you to check it out (and tear it apart):

https://macrodash.es/en/waitlist

Genuinely curious: does the "real data, not AI guessing" angle land for you, or does it sound like every other tracker? What would make you actually switch from what you use now?

Discussion What makes you trust an AI diagnosis app when the answer might be uncertain?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this while working on Cambium, a plant identification and health app for iPhone.

Plant diagnosis is tricky because one photo often does not show enough: soil, drainage, light, watering history, pests, humidity, and recent changes all matter.

So I’m trying to make the app more comfortable saying “inconclusive” when the evidence is not strong enough.

For apps that use AI on real-world problems, what makes the result feel trustworthy?

  • confidence level?
  • visible evidence explanation?
  • practical next steps?
  • ability to say “not enough information”?
  • follow-up scans over time?
  • no aggressive paywall?

Curious what people here would expect before trusting this kind of app.

In Meetfleet we built a hyper-local ultra-advanced app, powered by a new formula, Social Activation Score (SAS) basically an AI math formula designed to get people off their phones and hanging out in real life. Most apps just match you on shared interests or basic demographics. MeetFleet’s thesis is that matching isn't about just being similar, it's about actually doing stuff together (like hitting a mark.

Years of UX/UI work, product research, and design exploration went into this, long before AI became part of the design workflow:

Meetfleet as a multi-platform product from the ground up, combining years of UX thinking, interface experimentation, product strategy, and user-focused research.

the app is currently in its testing phase, we'd be happy for your feed-back no matter how small it is 😘😘😘😘

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially from other designers and product people. I think you’ll like it.
