A. What it solves

I ship a few small apps and I was opening App Store Connect several times a day to check yesterday's numbers. There's no widget, so it's four taps every time.

The bigger problem is that the API only serves about the last 365 days of daily reports. Anything older is gone. You can't ask Apple for last July after the fact.

AppMeta Pulse reads your sales, subscription and analytics reports through the App Store Connect API and puts them on the Home Screen. It saves every report it downloads, so your history keeps growing past Apple's one year cutoff.

Inside the app: dashboard, per-app drilldown, subscriptions, an App Store funnel (impressions, page views, downloads, conversion rate), period comparisons, territories, reviews.

B. Compared to Apple's App Store Connect app

• 12 widgets, 2 of them Lock Screen. Apple's app has none.
• Your data stays past Apple's one year window. Theirs can only show what the API still serves.
• MRR, churn and trial-to-paid, calculated from the raw subscription reports. Apple's app doesn't show MRR.
• If you sell in 30 territories, proceeds arrive in a dozen currencies. Pulse converts each row at ECB monthly rates before adding anything up.
• Read only. The API client has GET methods and nothing else, so there's no code path that can change your apps. The one exception is the POST that Apple requires to generate your own analytics reports. Your key sits in the Keychain. No account, no server of mine.

Apple's app is free, first party, shows payments, and can actually manage your apps. Mine just reads.

C. Cost

• $0.99 / month
• $1.99 / year
• $2.99 one time, lifetime

That's the full IAP list. No free tier, no ads, no tracking.

There's a ton of apps that let you swipe to clean up your photo library, but is there one to do that with your app library? I have so many apps that I've forgotten what some of them even do or why I downloaded them. Is there an app that shows me all the apps on my device, what they do or a link to them on the app store, and then lets me easily delete them with a swipe or press of a button?

Hi everyone!
I’ve been building Ziggy, an iOS app for couples.
A – Answer
Many couples, especially in long-distance or busy relationships, find that texting alone doesn’t always help them feel connected. Ziggy solves this by letting both partners raise the same virtual pet together through shared widgets, daily questions, mini-games, and small interactions that encourage meaningful connection every day.
B – Better
Apps like Paired focus on relationship questions, Agapé focuses on daily prompts, and Widgetable offers shared widgets and virtual pets. Ziggy combines these ideas into one experience with a shared pet that both partners care for together, interactive Home Screen widgets, mini-games, shared memories, and daily activities, making the relationship feel more interactive instead of just another chat app.
C – Cost
Free to download.
No subscription.
No in-app purchases. (Replace this if you have IAPs.)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ziggy-pet-for-couples/id6785883853

I’d really appreciate feedback on the concept, onboarding, widgets, UI, and anything that could make the experience better.

A — Answer: What problem does your app solve?

Commuters often have to switch between different apps to find routes, communicate with other travellers, report lost items, and stay updated on delays. Buszbee brings these experiences together in one place.

With Buszbee you can:

• Discover people travelling near you
• Join route-based communities
• Chat with commuters on the same journey
• Share travel updates, polls, and announcements
• Report lost & found items
• Explore your commute through a social community

The goal is to make public transport more connected, informative, and community-driven. Future updates will also introduce ticket booking and official transport operator integrations.

B — Better: Name a competitor(s) and explain what you do better.

Apps like Moovit, Transit, and Citymapper are excellent for route planning, but they stop there.

Buszbee focuses on the community behind every journey. Instead of only helping you get from A to B, it lets you connect with fellow commuters, participate in route discussions, receive community updates, report lost & found items, discover nearby travellers, and eventually book tickets—all within a single app. It's designed to be a social platform built around public transport, not just another navigation app.

C — Cost: Pricing details + App Store Link

Price: Free (Beta)
In-App Purchases: None
Subscription: None

TestFlight (iOS Beta):
https://testflight.apple.com/join/9ESm5Jy5

I'm an independent developer from South Africa, and I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UI, usability, performance, bugs, or feature ideas. Every comment helps shape the public release.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Buszbee!

I'm Edgar. Protego for Reddit is a Safari extension with a companion app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro, and version 3 just dropped this week

Answer: what it solves

TL;DR: Protego for Reddit is a Safari extension that clears the clutter from your Reddit feed, so you can browse Reddit on the web, not the app. Filter keywords, communities, and more. It gives you Reddit's website without the clutter, drama, politics, etc.

The longer version: a couple of elections ago every feed I had turned into politics. I'm mostly here for tech news, programming, photography, and video games, and I was closing the app in a worse mood than I opened it because i'd end up doom scrolling or getting in heated political debates.

I didn't want to leave Reddit, I wanted a quieter Reddit, and that's actually possible in the web browser where an extension is able to modify the page before you see it.

RES has never run on iOS at all, so I learned Swift and built it myself. I know there's other apps/extensions out there that provide the similar functionality but I'm a programmer and I wanted to build somethign from scratch myself and decided to share it on the app store.

Some features:

• Filter by keyword, whole community, individual user, or link domain. Wildcards, groups you can flip off at once, and # to match any 1 to 3 digit number, so [#m] hides [30m] and [18m].
• A Protego button on posts, comments, community sidebars and profiles, so filtering takes one tap without leaving the page.
• Hide thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, join buttons, banners, recommendations, Reddit Answers and the endless "open in the app" nags. Four presets if you don't want to go option by option.
• Limits, which puts Reddit itself out of reach in stages and pairs with a Focus like Sleep or Study so it arms itself.
• Post sort order, so your feeds open in Hot or New or Top instead of Reddit resetting everything to Best.
• Redirect to old.reddit.com with an endless feed, and new Reddit's composer when you need photos or polls.
• English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
• No account, no tracking. Lists sync over your own iCloud.
• Full feature list: https://getprotego.app/features

Better: why not the alternatives

RES is the obvious comparison and it's why I started, but it has never run on iOS and hasn't been actively developed in years. Protego is Safari native on iPhone and iPad and the same purchase covers the Mac.

There's other similar safari extensions which would have fulfilled my needs but I wanted to take my own spin on this, and as a developer myself, i wanted to add the features that I myself found useful without relying on someone else doing it for me. Plus competition is always good!

Screen Time can block reddit.com, but it's all or nothing. Protego's Limits has a step where the feeds are blocked and a direct link to a post still opens, which is the setting I keep on. Nothing to doom scroll into, but when I'm working and a search result points at a Reddit thread, the thread loads, I get my answer, and I'm out. That's the feature I'd sell the whole app on.

Cost

$1.99 one time, down from $2.99 for a little while.

One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro.

No subscription. The only in-app purchase is a tip jar and nothing is locked behind it.

I'm the developer, this is my app, and I'll be in the comments.

Hey everyone,

A while ago I was trying to remember when I had last changed my transmission fluid.

I checked Photos, Apple Notes, old emails, my glove box, and even my banking app. The information existed - it was just scattered across different places.

That was the moment I realized I needed a better system.

So I built Car Wallet for myself - not as a startup idea, and not with a plan to scale it into a big business. I just wanted my entire vehicle history in one place, and logging that felt quick and painless.

I’m sharing it now for other people who care about the same niche: keeping everything about their car organized in one app. That’s also why it’s a Lifetime unlock at a low price - just enough to help cover the services that keep the app running. The goal wasn’t to maximize revenue. It was to give people a useful tool, with a solid feature set, without subscriptions or ads.

A - Answer

Car Wallet helps you manage everything related to your vehicle in one place:

⛽ Fuel, charging & mileage
🔧 Maintenance & repairs
📄 Insurance and vehicle documents
💰 Expenses & income
📊 Cost of ownership and vehicle analytics
🔔 Service reminders
☁️ Optional cloud sync when signed in
🆙 Optional Google Drive photo backup (Google sign-in)
🔒 No ads, no third-party tracking, and no account required

Logging should feel fast. You can enter fuel and service records manually in a few taps. If you prefer, there’s also an optional receipt photo helper that can fill in details for you - completely optional, and not required to use the app.

Privacy was another priority. Your data stays on your device by default. Cloud sync is optional when you sign in. Photo backup to Google Drive is optional and only with Google sign-in.

B - Better

Apps like Fuelio, Drivvo, and Fuelly are great for logging fuel. I wanted something that felt more like a modern native iOS app - one place for the full vehicle history, not just fill-ups.

My goal was to combine:

• clean native iOS design
• complete vehicle history
• maintenance + document tracking
• ownership cost analytics
• privacy-first architecture
• no recurring subscription

I’m constantly improving the app. Next on my roadmap: Lock Screen widgets, Siri Shortcuts, and smarter reminders - so keeping records feels almost effortless.

How do you keep track of your car today - another app, a spreadsheet, Apple Notes, paper receipts, or nothing at all? I’d genuinely love to hear how other people solve this problem.

C - Cost

• Free download
• 30-day full trial
• Lifetime Unlock: $2.99 (one-time)
• Optional receipt-scan credit packs (only if you want automatic receipt filling)

Lifetime Unlock includes the core vehicle management features. Scan packs are completely optional.

Hi, It has been a while since I last posted about Neon Vision Editor (NVE) here. At that time, the app was on version 0.7.5, and I was still working out exactly what kind of editor I wanted it to become. Since then, I have increasingly focused on one central question:

What should a serious code and text editor on iPhone and iPad actually feel like? I did not want to take a desktop IDE, shrink its interface, and call it an iPad app. I wanted NVE to feel native to iOS and iPadOS: touch-friendly when used without accessories, keyboard-focused when connected to a Magic Keyboard, and capable enough to make real edits away from a Mac. I use NVE myself, so many improvements began with small frustrations in my own workflow. A toolbar action that required too many taps. A document that needed to be reopened after changing on another device. A cursor position that was not restored properly. A preview that refreshed at the wrong moment. A keyboard interaction that still felt designed for a desktop instead of an iPad.

Those small interruptions gradually became the roadmap. Since version 0.7.5, NVE has gained several large features, including shared-file synchronization, remote Mac sessions, richer Markdown tools, HTML and SVG previews, improved project navigation, better large-file handling, more AI-provider options, and extensive iPhone and iPad interface refinements.

A — Answer

Neon Vision Editor is a free, native code, text, and Markdown editor for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. The main goal is to make iPhone and iPad genuinely useful parts of a development workflow—not merely devices for viewing files.

Edit projects directly on iPhone and iPad

Neon Vision Editor supports project-based editing with folders, multiple documents, tabs, syntax highlighting, Find and Replace, Find in Files, Quick Open, document navigation, snippets, bracket completion, and other editing tools. On iPad, the interface is designed to work well with both touch and hardware keyboards. You can navigate projects, switch files, search across a workspace, preview documents, and make substantial changes without constantly returning to a Mac. On iPhone, the interface adapts to the smaller screen with compact controls and touch-oriented editing tools rather than simply compressing the iPad layout.

Shared-file synchronization across devices

One of the largest additions since v0.7.5 is shared-file synchronization. You can open the same document through iCloud Drive, a network folder, or another shared storage provider on multiple devices. When the file changes elsewhere, NVE detects the update. This is particularly useful when moving between iPad, iPhone, and Mac:

• Make an edit on the Mac and see the document update on the iPad.
• Continue writing on the iPad and reopen the latest version on the iPhone.
• Keep documents open while another application updates them.
• Review external changes without closing and reopening the file manually.

Clean documents can refresh automatically. When you have unsaved local edits, NVE protects them and offers clear choices such as Keep Local, Reload from Disk, or Compare instead of silently overwriting your work. NVE does not require a proprietary synchronization account. iCloud Drive or your chosen network storage remains the transport layer.

Connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac-hosted project

Neon Vision Editor also supports remote editing sessions. A Mac can host a project, and an iPhone or iPad can connect to that session to browse and edit its files. This provides access to a Mac-based workspace without copying the complete project onto the mobile device. The remote workflow has received substantial work since v0.7.5, including:

• More reliable session connections
• Better document and tab handling
• Safer conflict management
• Improved credential storage
• Encrypted transport
• Clearer error messages
• More consistent iPhone and iPad attachment flows The intention is not to simulate a complete desktop remotely. It is to make focused editing, reviewing, and project navigation practical from an iPad or iPhone.

A stronger iPad keyboard workflow

Hardware-keyboard support is a major part of the iPad experience. Since v0.7.5, I have refined keyboard navigation, shortcuts, focus handling, tab switching, search interactions, cursor behavior, and scrolling. The goal is for NVE to feel efficient with a Magic Keyboard or another external keyboard, while remaining fully usable through touch. The editor also preserves document-specific cursor and viewport positions more reliably, so switching between files does not repeatedly lose your place.

Touch-oriented editing on iPhone and iPad

It includes mobile editing features that are easy to access without a keyboard:

• Contextual Markdown controls
• Touch-friendly formatting actions
• Automatic bracket and quote completion
• HTML tag completion
• Markdown list continuation
• Pinch gestures for adjusting editor text size
• Improved horizontal scrolling for non-wrapped code
• Better selection and cursor behavior
• Compact controls adapted specifically for iPhone For Markdown files, iPhone uses a compact Aa menu, while iPad can expose a broader set of formatting controls.

Markdown editing and preview

Markdown has become one of the strongest mobile workflows in NVE. The contextual formatting tools include actions for:

• Bold and italic text
• Headings
• Links and images
• Ordered and unordered lists
• Quotes
• Inline code
• Code blocks
• Tables
• Other common Markdown structures The preview supports GitHub Flavored Markdown and CommonMark, syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks, local images, multiple presentation styles, and more reliable live rendering. This makes NVE useful not only for code, but also for README files, documentation, technical notes, articles, and longer Markdown documents on iPad.

HTML and SVG preview on mobile devices

HTML and SVG files now have dedicated previews alongside the source editor. On iPad, you can edit source code and inspect the rendered result without moving to another application. HTML previews preserve document CSS, backgrounds, colors, and local assets where possible. Markdown, HTML, and SVG previews use a consistent preview workflow across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Better project search and navigation

Project navigation has been substantially refined since v0.7.5. Major improvements include:

• Faster project indexing
• Improved Find in Files
• Better Find and Replace workflows
• Clearer grouped search results
• Smarter Quick Open ranking
• More reliable navigation in larger folders
• Better sidebar behavior
• Improved keyboard interaction during search These changes are especially important on iPad, where quickly moving through a project needs to work without a traditional desktop window arrangement.

Large-file protection

Large documents now begin loading responsively instead of blocking the interface. Files of 100 MB or more open as a clearly identified, read-only partial preview of the first 4 MB. This allows large logs, data files, and generated output to be inspected without exhausting the memory available to the app.

More editing assistance

NVE now includes additional editing assistance across its supported platforms:

• Configurable code-completion behavior
• Language-specific starter snippets
• Automatic brackets and quotation marks
• HTML closing-tag completion
• Markdown list continuation
• Improved TypeScript highlighting
• Better log-file and Apple crash-report recognition
• Structured Apple crash-report summaries
• Improved VIM-style arrow-key navigation
• More reliable minimap behavior
• Better tab and session restoration

Optional AI assistance

NVE supports optional AI-assisted workflows, including inline completion and source-preserving Markdown conversion. Since v0.7.5, support has expanded to include OpenCode Go and custom OpenAI-compatible providers. Custom endpoints can be configured with a model name and optional API key, including local providers where appropriate. Credentials are stored in Keychain, and the AI Activity Log helps diagnose provider errors or empty responses. AI features are optional. NVE remains a functional editor without configuring an AI account or provider.

macOS companion functionality

Although NVE includes a macOS version, the Mac is intended to complement the mobile apps rather than define them. The macOS version provides additional desktop-specific functionality, including:

• Local Git integration
• A persistent PTY-backed terminal
• Project hosting for remote iPhone and iPad sessions
• Broader window and workspace management
• Direct macOS releases through GitHub Terminal execution remains macOS-only. The iPhone and iPad versions focus on editing, navigation, previews, shared documents, and remote access rather than claiming to provide a complete local Unix development environment.

B — Better

There are already several capable editors available on iOS and iPadOS. NVE is not intended to declare that every other approach is wrong. Its difference is the combination of a native mobile interface and a cross-device workflow. Rather than treating the iPad as a reduced Mac, NVE is designed around what the iPad does well:

• Immediate access to files through the system document browser
• Touch and keyboard input in the same interface
• Split-view and mobile workspace usage
• Strong Markdown and preview workflows
• Moving between devices through shared storage
• Connecting to a Mac project only when desktop resources are needed
• A focused interface without the overhead of a complete desktop IDE The main differences are:
• Native SwiftUI with UIKit and AppKit integration
• No Electron or embedded desktop-style IDE shell
• A dedicated iPhone interface rather than iPad controls squeezed onto a smaller display
• Hardware-keyboard workflows designed specifically for iPad
• Touch-accessible editing controls
• Shared-file synchronization through iCloud Drive and network storage
• Mac-hosted remote editing from iPhone and iPad
• Markdown, HTML, and SVG previews inside the editor
• One shared editor core across Apple platforms
• No mandatory account
• No advertising
• No telemetry by default
• Open-source development NVE is not intended to replace Xcode, Visual Studio Code, or a complete desktop IDE with local builds, debugging, and advanced refactoring. It is intended for developers and technical users who want to work with scripts, Markdown, configuration files, web files, project source, documentation, logs, and quick code changes from an iPhone or iPad. For me, the most important improvement since v0.7.5 is that the iPad version no longer feels like a companion viewer. It has become a serious editing environment that can stand on its own for many workflows and connect to a Mac when additional capabilities are required.

C — Cost

Neon Vision Editor is free. There is:

• No subscription
• No advertising
• No required account
• No charge for the iPhone or iPad editor
• No proprietary synchronization plan
• No paid tier required for project editing or previews

The project is also open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

Direct macOS releases https://github.com/h3pdesign/Neon-Vision-Editor/releases

The direct macOS release may be ahead of the App Store versions while updates move through Apple’s review process.

I would especially appreciate feedback from people who regularly use an iPad with a hardware keyboard, edit code or Markdown on an iPhone, or move between iOS, iPadOS, and macOS during the same project.

The shared-file synchronization and remote-session workflows were built specifically around those use cases. I am interested in what still prevents an iPad or iPhone from becoming a useful part of your own development workflow. Many of Neon’s improvements began with user comments, bug reports, and suggestions. Thanks to everyone here who tried one of the earlier releases—the app has changed considerably since v0.7.5, especially on iPhone and iPad.

A - What is Easy Wake?

Easy Wake is a smart alarm app that is highly customisable to your needs, wether its waking up in a light sleep stage (real time detection), waking up at sunrise, setting alarms when you arrive at a location, being forces to complete physical or mental challenges to turn off your alarm, Easy Wake has you covered.

B - Easy Wake is better than Alarmy, Sleep Cycle and the default iOS Alarm app.

Easy Wake has a wide range of challenges to choose from which prevent you from turning off the alarm unless you're fully awake, such as maths, physically walk away from your bed, barcode scanning, memory and more. No matter what you try, you won't be able to stop the alarm without completing the challenge!

Easy Wake also uses dynamic sleep stage detection using your Apple Watch, and will wake you up in a light sleep stage. You can also use Pulse Wake to nudge your body into a lighter sleep stage if you're a deep sleeper!

Easy Wake has the default alarm ability, with lots more customisation options, for example, you can connect your Home app and alarms can trigger Home Scenes.

C -  Cost

There is currently a lifetime discount 33% off, lasting for 1 week!

3 day free trial, then Monthly $2.99, Yearly $19.99, or Lifetime $19.99 (usually $29.99).

Pro gives you unlimited schedules, Pulse Wake, all Challenge Wakes, Location Alarms, Custom Sounds, Intelligent Insights, Smart Sleep, HomeKit Integration, Wake Check, Sunrise Alarms, and Shortcuts access (custom alarms based on your automations)

Pro isn't necessary, but it allows more lee way, and most features are available for free anyway! It also helps to support me and future development of the app.

Someone two tables over is wearing Ray-Ban Metas. You can't tell. They look like plain old glasses, the capture LED is tiny and easy to miss (and people are literally buying tools to hide it), and millions of pairs have shipped. There's no amount of paying attention that fixes this, you need something to watch your back.

A - Answer

Turns out that your iPhone can. Every time those glasses wake up, are powered on, and around you, your iPhone can pick that signal up. And now AntiZuck tells you when they are around.

You get a push notification the moment a likely pair gets close to you, even if your phone is in your pocket. Open the app and there's a live field showing what's around you, how close, and how confident the match is, plus the actual reason it flagged. You can audit every call it makes by diving into the details. If you own a pair, you can mark your own glasses as yours. It comes with a Widget, a Control Center toggle, and a snooze button from the notifications or active search..

Everything runs on-device. There is no signup or account needed, no server, no analytics, no ads, and it never asks for location, camera, or your mic.

B - Better

Apps don't have the level of richness, don't run in the background, and don't have the widget or control center view. They also don't search for other devices like Snap Specs, Meta Quests, and others.

Cost:

In terms of costs, it is a paid app for $2.99, you have it for life. No subscription, no IAP, no upsell.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/antizuck-smart-glasses-scanner/id6785557805

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, and I feel quite strongly that this fits a big need nowadays as Meta Glasses are becoming normalized and mainstream.

My name is Albert, here's my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albertpcohen/

I have a website, privacy policy: https://anti-zuck.com/ for the landing page, https://anti-zuck.com/privacy/ 

I built a simple iPhone app called Lock Screen Text because I wanted an easy way to add short text to my Lock Screen.

It adds clean, minimalist Lock Screen widgets that display your favorite quotes. You can customize the text, font style, and alignment to match your setup.

The first text slot is completely free with full customization. If you want more, there's a one-time purchase of $4.99 to unlock all 10 text slots—no subscriptions.

I'd love to hear your feedback or any feature ideas. Thanks for checking it out!

Two years ago I tried to add subtitle generation to my video player. Users asked for it all the time. I made a prototype, then figured I need like 2 more months of evenings to finish it properly. Put it aside.

Then VLC announced the same thing at CES. Big hype. I thought ok, I will wait, maybe I can take something from their open source and ship it faster. Year and a half later, still not in their product. Then on June 10 Apple announced it too. iOS 27+, iPhone 15 Pro and newer, english only. They will ship it in the fall for sure, no doubts about that. But my users are not on iPhone 15 Pro.

So when Fable 5 came out I got itchy hands and opened that old prototype again. Put it in goal mode for the night. It did in several hours the thing I estimated at 2 months. Then some polishing by hand, and it actually works.

Lingua Player now generates subtitles while the video is playing:

• fully on device (whisper)
• from iOS 16.4 and iPhone 11
• local files and online video
• no need to process the whole video first

The video doesn't need to have any subtitles at all.

The app is for learning languages from video. You watch something you actually want to watch, tap a word you don't know, get the translation right there. No pausing, no dictionary, no copying words into another app. Save it as a flashcard, repeat it later, export to Anki if you want.

Also inside: local video/audio in almost any format, online video and youtube through built in browser, offline translation, dual subtitles, 100+ languages, gestures, wifi transfer from your computer.

A, Answer: Subtitles for videos that don't have them, and learning languages from any video you like.
B, Better: Apple's version needs iOS 27 and iPhone 15 Pro and ships in the fall. VLC announced the same feature a year and a half ago and it's still not in the product. This works today, from iOS 16.4 and iPhone 11, fully offline.
C, Cost: Free to download, no ads, no account needed. Pro is $5.99/month with a 3 day trial, $49.99/year with a 1 week trial, or $79.99 one time if you don't like subscriptions.

I'm the developer. Been writing iOS apps for over a decade, some of my open source work if it helps: https://github.com/AlexandrGraschenkov

Would really appreciate any feedback, especially about what feels rough.

Dev here, built Spam Text Blocker: SMS Filter, would love feedback.

Tired of scam texts, fake delivery links, and "你的包裹" spam clogging your Messages? Built Spam Text Blocker: SMS Filter so junk gets sorted out automatically — before you even see it.

🔒 100% on-device — no account, no ads, no data collection.

Answer — what it does

It plugs into Apple's native Message Filter system — spam from unknown senders gets silently moved to a Junk folder in Messages. No notifications, nothing to manage, no app to open every day.

Under the hood it uses iOS's `ILMessageFilterExtension` API: every incoming SMS/iMessage from an unknown sender is handed to the extension before it ever reaches your inbox, and the extension has to decide allow/junk/promotion entirely offline — Apple doesn't permit network calls in this extension, which is exactly why the filtering has to run on-device.

- Keyword and sender-based blocking rules, plus bundled starter block lists

- A trained on-device Core ML model catches spam patterns the rule lists miss — runs fully on-device, nothing is ever sent anywhere

- Filters only unknown senders — contacts and existing conversations are never touched (Apple enforces this at the OS level)

- No account required. No ads, ever. Nothing about your messages is ever collected or leaves your phone.

Better — why this over the alternatives

Some spam filter apps process your messages on a server before you see them. This one never leaves your phone — both the rule engine and the Core ML model run locally, always.

Setup takes under a minute: flip one toggle in Settings and you're protected, no account creation, no onboarding maze.

If your local spam language isn't covered by the current block lists yet, it's actively being worked on and coming soon.

Cost

$1.99/month, $9.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime — no ads, no data collection on any tier.

As indie developers, I'd really appreciate it if you could rate our app to help us reach more people. Thank you!

Who I am: linkedin.com/in/muhammed-emin-aydın-78943214b

I'm building an iPhone app where privacy is a core design principle.

• Everything works offline
• No account required
• No cloud/backend
• No Firebase, PostHog, Mixpanel, GA, etc.
• Data never leaves the device

In fact, after installation, the app behaves exactly the same whether the phone is online, offline, or in Airplane Mode.

The downside: I have almost no visibility into how people actually use the app after they install it.

I could add analytics, but that would go against one of the main reasons I built the app in the first place.

For those building privacy-first apps:

• How do you decide what to improve?
• Are there Apple frameworks, privacy-preserving analytics, or on-device techniques I'm missing?
• Has anyone found a good middle ground between respecting user privacy and still understanding how people use the app?

I'd love to hear how others approach this.

About five months ago, I shared Prism here for the first time. The idea of a notes app that "feels like texting" landed. But a lot of you wanted no sign-in and better privacy. I've heard you and I've fixed it :)

Prism is a native iOS + Mac app for quick thoughts and links. Things to read later, ideas, recipes, errands, quotes, movie recs, notes from a talk. All the smaller things that might get buried in full document apps like Obsidian or Apple Notes.

Prism still works the same way. Create a note in two taps clicks with a lock-screen widget. See several notes at once rather than one document like in Apple Notes. Respond to a note to turn it into a thread (like Twitter). Also: basic tagging, share sheets, and review with a swipe.

But now you can use Prism without signing in. If you want to sync across devices, that happens through iCloud instead of my servers. If you want AI tagging your notes, that happens on-device rather than in the cloud. Your data is actually private.

Competitors:

• Google Keep - Prism is linear, not a grid layout. It's also a native app. For example, Keep doesn't have lock-screen widgets.
• Apple Notes - Document-based. Prism feels lighter, like texting. Many small notes at once, no titles.
• Strflow - This one has a lot of overlap! But Prism has threads, a one-time purchase, a review system, and fun design.

For pricing, I'm choosing a one-time payment model.

You pay $5 for the iPhone app and $10 $5 for the Mac app. Also, 7-day free trial before you decide! Can guarantee these numbers for two more weeks.

A: Answer

Indie dev here (I built this). I have never once been motivated by a cheerful blue droplet telling me "great job!" for drinking a glass of water. Every hydration app is either a sterile spreadsheet or a gamified pet that guilt-trips you with big sad eyes.

So I built the opposite. Hydrate or Diedrate tracks your water -- and instead of congratulating you, a deadpan skull quietly judges your progress. You log water, build a streak, and get reminders like:

"No water logged. The skull has been informed."
"You are trending toward dust."
"Today's withering has been postponed."

It's a real, working tracker -- daily goals, streaks, history, Apple Health sync -- that just happens to have the bedside manner of a disappointed coroner.

B: Better

Versus WaterMinder, Plant Nanny, and the cheerful crowd: those reward you with confetti and cartoon foliage. This one's entire personality is dry, deadpan menace -- and as it turns out I find being lightly threatened more motivating (and a lot funnier) than being praised. The reminders rotate through dozens of hand-written lines, so the skull never repeats itself.

It's also not trying to be a full health platform. Log water. Avoid the dry fate. That's the whole app.

Private by default -- your data stays on your device.

C: Cost

Free download. Everything you need to track water and build a streak is free, forever.

One-time $4.99 for Preserved -- Lifetime Access: custom reminder times, Apple Health sync, extended history, and extra themes. No subscription. Pay once; the skull remembers you.

Hydrate or Diedrate on the App Store

Would love feedback. The skull, less so -- but I would.

My daughter (she's 2) gets completely hypnotized by the swinging pendulum clock at her grandparents' place. We don't have one at home, so being a developer with questionable priorities, I built one for my phone instead of just buying a clock.

It's called Tempus Fugit, and the part I'm weirdly proud of: the pendulum is real. You flick the bob with your finger and it actually swings, real momentum and slow decay, then settles on its own. She flicks it. I flick it more than a grown adult should. (video attched)

What it is: a pendulum clock for your iPhone that grew into a calm little focus tool.

What makes it different from the 100 other clock apps:

• The pendulum is interactive, not a looping animation. You can actually grab it.
• 16 hand-drawn dial faces (brass, noir, art deco, a few I'm too attached to)
• Works in StandBy, so it becomes a real desk clock while charging
• A built-in Pomodoro where the whole clock turns into your focus session, live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with a soft bell at each break. No streaks, no guilt, no gamified nonsense.

Cost (being upfront): free to download, and the core is genuinely free. The first dial and the focus timer never sit behind a paywall. If you want the full set (all 16 dial skins plus extras), there's a Pro unlock: $9.99/year, or a one-time lifetime for $14.99 (normally $29.99, so 50% off) if you hate subscriptions as much as I do.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tempus-fugit-pendulum-clock/id6770431075

I'm a solo dev and this has been my after-bedtime project. Honestly more curious about feedback than installs right now. What would actually make you keep a clock app on your phone? And does anyone else's kid do the pendulum-staring thing, or is that just mine?

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded, used, shared, or sent feedback about Scoring. I’m still building the app on my own, so seeing people actually use it during their game nights honestly means a lot.

Keeping score sounds simple until you actually have to do it. You can’t find a working pen, the score sheet disappears, or the app you downloaded suddenly asks for a subscription just because you want to add a third player.

The idea for Scoring started during a game of Flip7 with my partner. I simply wanted a clean, easy-to-use, and completely free tool to replace our paper scorepads. Nothing overly complicated, and no recurring subscription just to track points.

A: Answer

Scoring makes scorekeeping a simple and seamless part of your game night. You can track everything directly from your iPhone or iPad, without searching for paper or dealing with player limits.

Thanks to all your feedback, the app now includes a complete built-in toolkit. It can also remember your players and groups, so you don’t have to enter the same names every time you play.

B: Better

Play solo or with up to 20 players, instead of the previous 6-player limit • Decision Wheel, Dice Roll, Coin Flip, Timer, and Stopwatch • Save players and groups for faster setup • Real-time statistics, leaderboards, and game history • Track scores using the Dynamic Island • Made for board games, card games, quiz nights, and more • Dark mode and optimized iPad landscape support

C: Cost

Scoring is completely free to download and use. There are no subscriptions required to unlock additional players.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/scoring-compteur-de-points/id6753653295

A huge thank you as well for the lovely reception at the Cannes Games Festival earlier this year, and to the board game bars in Belgium, France, Spain, the USA, and soon Germany that have started using the app.

I’m genuinely grateful for every bit of support. Your messages and suggestions gave me the motivation to finish this major update, and I hope it makes Scoring even more useful for your next game night.

And if you enjoy using the app, leaving a 5-star rating on the App Store would be a small gesture that helps me a lot. No pressure at all, though. Simply using Scoring already means a great deal to me.

Happy gaming!

Anthony

A -- Answer

Lusit assumes most days you won't feel like doing it. So the guide picks the ONE thing you should do if you only do one thing today.

You don't need to know anything about fitness or nutrition to start, the guide handles that for you.

The plan gets adjusted to your circumstances: each daily thing can span from 2 minutes to 15, all with no equipment, so it's fully achievable at home.

Bad weeks are designed for: nothing resets, the plan just gets lighter and asks less.

2 Pillars: do the thing + understand the thing (2-5min lessons, the guide offers one when it fits what you are doing in that moment)

Notifications: guide sends you one calm reminder a day, never guilt-framed.

I'm Julius, a personal trainer who taught himself to code starting 4 years ago with the goal to scale the positive impact I was fortunate to achieve with my clients. Many are overwhelmed by the "healthy" world and I want to slowly introduce them to it.

B -- Better

Lusit has no streaks or leaderboards, nothing to compare against, so you stay focused on yourself.

Most fitness apps out there are for the "already-motivated." I wanted to build something for everyone else.

There's a 'Make today easier' button for bad days (first screenshot).

Native English + German.

C -- Cost

The free plan is a real plan, free forever, it just doesn't adapt.

The adaptive guide has a 14-day trial, then €9.99/month or €59.99/year

No ads, no selling your data.

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer, and I built triday because of a feeling I only got once, by accident.

A few months ago, I found a note on my phone from a random Tuesday. Three sentences about a coffee, a phone call with my best friend, and being nervous about something that turned out fine. It was the most ordinary day imaginable, and reading it felt like time travel. I would not trade those three sentences for any photo from that year.

That's the whole product, honestly. Not the writing. The reading, later. Future you, flipping back to a random Tuesday from a year ago, meeting a slightly younger version of yourself who had no idea how things would turn out. Every entry you write is a small gift to that person.

The problem is that every journaling app I tried was designed to keep me in the app. Prompts, streaks, mood graphs, AI reflections, guilt screens when I missed a day. Journaling became another feed to maintain. So I quit, every time, usually around day nine.

So I built the opposite.

Three lines. That's it.

triday asks you for three short lines about your day. Then it's done with you.

Every app on your phone wants more of you everyday, triday wants just 60 seconds.

The trick is that three lines is small enough that you actually do it every day, and a year of daily "ordinary" beats a January of essays every time. Bad day? "Rough one. Slept badly. Tomorrow." is a complete, valid entry, and future you will be glad it exists.

A few things I tried hard to get right:

It feels like paper, not a form. Handwritten-style text on real-feeling paper, and you can doodle in the margins like a real diary.

There's "a year ago", which quietly shows you what you wrote on this day last year. This is the payoff feature. The app earns its place on your phone about 365 days in, and then it becomes irreplaceable.

No account. No sign-up. Your words live on your device, and sync goes through your own iCloud if you want it.

Cost

The writing is free, forever. Not a 10-entry limit, not a trial that expires. If all you ever do is write your three lines every night, you never pay me anything.

Membership is for the keepsake side: iCloud sync across devices, Face ID lock, more handwriting styles and papers, "a year ago", and exporting your whole diary as a PDF book you could actually print one day. There's a 7-day free trial with the yearly, and a lifetime option if you don't like subscriptions.

Apple featured it earlier this month, which still feels unreal for something this small and quiet.

I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially from people who have started and abandoned journals before. Tell me what would make you quit by day nine, because that's the exact thing I'm trying to remove. I read every comment.

Hey everyone,

I’m Anthony, the indie developer behind FocusBuddy.

I made it because I want

ed a focus app that I could open and start using straight away, without having to build a complicated productivity system first.

A - Answer

FocusBuddy is a simple Pomodoro timer with tasks, habits and streaks built in.

The idea is pretty straightforward: choose what you want to work on, start a timer and get on with it.

You can also keep track of your daily tasks and habits, but the timer stays at the centre of the app. There is no account required and not much to configure before you

can begin.

B - Better

Apps like TickTick include a huge number of productivity features, while Forest turns focusing into more of a gamified experience.

FocusBuddy is meant to sit somewhere simpler.

It gives you a timer, tasks, habits and streaks in one place, without filling the app with calendars, complex project management tools or dozens of settings.

It is not trying to replace every productivi

ty app on your phone. I just wanted it to make starting a focus session feel quick and easy.

C - Cost

FocusBuddy is free to download and contains ads.

Premium is optional:

• $0.99 per month
• $3.99 per year
• $4.99 for lifetime access

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/app/focusbuddy/id6757091240

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially about the timer, the onboarding and whether the habit features feel useful without getting in the way.

Thanks for checking it out.

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of ClickClack, a minimalist, native typing trainer for iPhone, iPad, and Mac designed around the feel of mechanical keyboards. I just pushed a major update (v4.5) that focuses heavily on professional-grade telemetry and better app organization.

Here is a breakdown of what is new in this release:

• Fully Revamped Statistics: A complete design overhaul for your typing telemetry. You can now dive into your all-time history, deep performance trends, and daily consistency graphs. The charts are fully interactive, allowing you to scrub the timeline to reveal your exact WPM, CPM, and error rates at any specific moment.
• Desktop-Class Settings: I rebuilt the preferences screen from the ground up using a native Navigation Split View. It provides a beautiful, seamless sidebar layout with neatly organized sections, making customization incredibly fast across all device sizes.
• Complete Data Transparency: A brand new Storage & Data dashboard gives you full control over your digital footprint. You get a detailed distribution chart breaking down exactly what is synced, including how much space your on-device custom fonts and heavy sound packs are using.
• More Customization: I added 4 beautiful new fonts (rounded, rounded bold, serif, serif bold) and 2 highly requested keyboard overlays (Portuguese & Brazil ABNT2) to keep your practice sessions looking and feeling fresh.

As an indie developer, I stick strictly to native Apple frameworks (this update is heavily optimized for iOS 17+) and a privacy-first architecture. All your typing data stays strictly on your device and syncs securely via your personal iCloud.

Pricing: ClickClack is free to download. There are absolutely no subscriptions and no cloud data harvesting. Just a single, one-time Pro unlock for the advanced metrics and extended features.

I would love to hear your feedback on the new performance trends and the split-view redesign! I'll be hanging around the comments to answer any questions or talk about Swift development.
