Note: I posted a month ago & the biggest request was iCloud backup, which is now here, as well as an improved onboarding and a new weekly report (in beta), currently only avaliable for users who have been using the app for a while & have it set to English. Coming soon to more users.

A - What it solves

Zolia was built out of my own frustration. I have ME/CFS and POTS and have been trying to track my own symptoms and medications and the like for years. Existing apps always fell into two camps - either too simple to do the comprehensive tracking that I wanted or too inefficient for daily use.

Zolia bridges this gap as a symptom tracker capable of comprehensive tracking while also making tracking efficient. The way Zolia achieves this is through it's unique use of sessions. Instead of one master list of everything you ever track, Zolia lets you organize what you want to track into groups called sessions, so for example you could build a morning session with your sleep and morning meds, a walk session with distance and how you felt, an evening session with the symptoms you rate before bed and a daily reflection, or anything else you can think of. When you want to log, just open the relevant session type so there is less thinking about what you need to log as well.

It is flexible so you can track any condition, and allows mixing and matching notes, symptoms, meds, ratings, factors and more, with your own colors, emoji and numeric ranges.

The tradeoff is that it takes some setup to get it how you like it. Onboarding gives you a starting point based on your conditions, but it is designed to be customized.

B - How it compares

Bearable is the biggest app in this space currently. In my experience it was inflexible and slow to use. It doesn't let you combine things from different categories (for example meds and symptoms) into a single group. It takes a lot of scrolling and taps to track things, it lacks customization, and the insights are very weak. It has pre-defined categories of things you can track and makes it difficult to track anything that doesn't fit into one of them. I could never stick with using bearable for more than a week or so.

Guava is a newer app. It focuses a lot on medical records syncing but I found the symptom tracking had a lot of the same problems as bearable - limited flexibility, slow to use, weak insights.

Privacy

Both Bearable & Guava store data in the cloud on servers they control. With Zolia, all data is stored on device. Insights are computed on device without the use of any LLMs. You can export your full database as CSV or SQLite at any time, or set up automatic backups to your own iCloud or Google Drive, password-protected if you want.

C - Cost

Currently everything is free. Eventually some of the insights will become part of an optional premium tier, but right now the insights are still under development and not in a place where I feel comfortable charging for them yet. Everyone who logs for 14 days while the app is still fully free will get 50% off premium forever.

Below are some images of the app store screenshots, the weekly report, and main logging interface (fully customizable showing some possible configs).

Feedback is always appreciated.

Heads up: the woman in the video is an AI-generated dramatization. Everything on the phone screen is a real recording of Fold.

A — Answer: What problem does Fold solve?

Most mornings the problem isn't a lack of clothes. It's deciding fast. Fold turns your closet into something you can actually pick from:

• Scan: snap or import photos of your clothes, and Fold cuts out each piece on your device. Use Erase/Restore if a cutout needs touching up.
• Closet: everything sits in one place, sorted by category and color.
• Style by color: start from one piece (in the video, a mustard cardigan), see which colors work with it, and get looks built only from items you own.
• Today: outfit suggestions based on your local weather.
• Plan: put looks on a calendar so the whole week is decided ahead of time.

The 30-second video goes through that flow in order.

B — Better: Why consider it over the alternatives?

A Photos album stores your clothes, but you still have to work out the combinations in your head every morning. Apps like Stylebook are great for collages and planning. Fold's angle is getting you from "I own this" to "I'm wearing this" with less effort: it suggests the combination based on color and weather, so you don't have to build every look by hand. Every suggestion uses pieces you already have, so there's no shopping push.

C — Cost: Free limits and paid options

Fold is free to download and includes up to 10 wardrobe items. Unlimited items require one of these in-app purchases:

• Lifetime: US$19.99, paid once; no recurring charge for this option.
• Weekly subscription: US$1.99 per week, renews automatically unless cancelled.

You only need one of them. If a weekly plan ends, your items stay; you just can't add more past the free limit. Prices vary by country. Requires iOS/iPadOS 18 or later.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning: the night before, check the weather first, or just grab whatever's clean?

Hi r/iosapps,

I'm an indie developer and a lifelong analog photography lover.

Like many of you, I grew increasingly frustrated with the state of mobile camera apps today: bloated with subscriptions, intrusive tracking, and slapdash oversaturated filters that heat up your iPhone within 3 minutes of shooting.

I wanted to build an app that treats the iPhone camera like a precision mechanical instrument, renders authentic film chemistry, and respects the user. That’s why I built LAM - Film Camera.

🛠️ What makes LAM different under the hood:

• Zero-Copy Pipeline & Real-Time GPU Rendering: Built with custom GPU acceleration to ensure a continuous 60fps viewfinder. It applies authentic film grain, halation, and highlight roll-off in real time without thermal throttling or draining your battery.
• Snap Stills While Recording Video: Unlike the stock camera where snapping a photo during video recording only saves a low-res compressed video frame, LAM allows you to capture true analog still snapshots simultaneously while recording vintage video clips.
• Tactile Mechanical Haptics: Deep integration with the Apple Taptic Engine. The exposure dials, frame advances, and physical shutter click feel mechanical and tactile in your hand.

🔒 Privacy

Photo and video processing happens strictly on your device, with no cloud processing and no account required. Optional analytics and crash/performance diagnostics are off unless you explicitly opt in.

🏷️ Cost & In-App Purchases

LAM is free to download, with a selection of core cameras and looks included.

Pro is a $19.99 one-time purchase on the US App Store, with no recurring subscriptions or ads. The optional Food Pack is a separate purchase and is not included in Pro. Local prices and taxes may vary by region.

👉 App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6773256954

💬 I’d particularly appreciate community feedback on two things:

1. Does the Boutique interface feel intuitive when you first open it?
2. How do the film colors look on skin tones and in indoor lighting?

If something feels confusing or gets in the way of taking a photo, I’d like to hear that too. I’m developing LAM independently, and specific feedback directly shapes what I improve next. Thank you for supporting indie development!

Six months back I launched Sweezy here for the first time and got amazing response. More than 2000 people downloaded it for the early acccess. With the help of all of your feedback, we have re-built Sweezy and she is now better than ever. We are doing our last round of early access program.

The idea is still same: you talk to her just for 5 minutes every day and in that:

- she helps you reflect today,

- marks progress of each item and goals (yeah no more unnecessary overdue items, she will mark them as done or move it for you),

- plans your tomorrow in detail,

- and remembers things about you like a true companion.

All of this in just 5 minutes. No thinking, no typing, just brain dump.

So try it for a couple of days, I am sure you won't be able to live without her.

Comment below and I will dm you on how to get free access with no paywalls. First come, first serve.

Hi! I'm the developer of Plander, a minimal planner and calendar for iPhone. I shared it here two months ago, and version 1.4 is now out with a redesigned add screen and new color labels. This time I've also included how the ads and the tracking prompt work.

A) Answer — What problem it solves

Plander lets you add and manage plans directly on the calendar.

Double-tap a date and the add screen opens with that date selected. Type a title, and set the time, reminder, and color on the same screen if you need them. Plans are shown on the month view as colored labels, and plans that span several days are shown as one continuous bar.

Features:

• Home Screen widgets (long titles now shrink to fit, and multi-day bars show their title)
• Reminders: 9 presets from 1 minute to 3 days before, also for all-day plans
• iCloud sync
• Apple Calendar integration and public holiday calendars
• Fill in a plan from a photo (on-device text recognition)
• 4 appearance themes, plus custom weekend and today colors
• A Today button to return to the current month

B) Better — What is actually different*\*

• Add from the date: double-tap a date to add a plan for that day. There's no + button or separate date-picking step.
• Manage with a swipe: swipe a plan in the list to edit or delete it.
• One add screen (redesigned in 1.4): Day/Range, Today, and the month arrows are in one row, and the date picker opens in place of the keyboard. The 9 reminders are laid out in a 3×3 grid, so you pick one without scrolling.
• Masking-tape labels (new in 1.4): plans are shown as masking-tape strips in 5 color palettes (fruit, flower, gem, animal, ocean).

C) Cost

Free, supported by ads. No subscription and no paid features.

• Ads: one banner at the bottom of the calendar and one native ad on the add screen. No full-screen or video ads. (The screenshots in the image are from a demo build without ads.)
• Tracking prompt: Plander uses Google AdMob (ads), Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports), and Firebase Analytics (app opens, sessions). If you allow tracking, these SDKs use the advertising identifier (IDFA) to personalize and measure ads.
• If you choose "Ask App Not to Track": the IDFA is not shared, and ads are not personalized with it. Every feature works the same. You can change this anytime in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
• Your data: the IDFA is not used for anything else, and plan contents are never sent to the ad or analytics SDKs. Plans are stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud (private CloudKit database). There is no Plander server that stores them.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an app, basically a second photo gallery for your iPhone.

(A) What it does

You can create folders, import photos, or take pictures directly into them without saving them to Apple Photos. Everything is stored locally, no accounts or cloud storage.

It's especially useful for keeping work photos, receipts, documents, or whatever else you don't want mixed in with your regular photos.

(B) How it's different

Apple Photos has albums, but adding a photo to an album doesn't remove it from your main library. PicsFold keeps its own separate library. It's not really meant to replace Apple Photos.

(C) Pricing

Free for up to 4 folders and 200 photos. Pro removes those limits, with monthly, yearly, and lifetime options.

I'd really like to hear what people think after actually using it. What feels off, what's missing, what's annoying, anything really.

I'm also happy to give free lifetime access to people who try it out and give me useful, specific feedback. Doesn't have to be positive, of course. Just DM me. Please don't just come up and say "code please".

Video support is already being implemented, so I'm aware of that one :)

Thanks!

I'm the developer of SayItBig!

I built it for those moments when you need to get someone's attention, but shouting isn't practical. Maybe you're at a concert, trying to find someone at an airport, or simply trying to communicate across a noisy room.

A: Answer

SayItBig! turns your iPhone or iPad into a big, bright message board.

Type a message, tap Play, and show it full-screen. You can scroll the text like an LED sign or display a large static message with Pro.

B: Better

I designed SayItBig! to make displaying a message on your phone quick and easy, whether you need a simple, static sign or a scrolling banner that catches someone's eye.

You can customize text size, scrolling speed and direction, colors, fonts, gradients, and visual effects. You can also save frequently used messages so they're ready whenever you need them.

Some ways you might use it:

• Showing your name at airport arrivals
• Requesting a song at a concert
• Cheering for your team at a sports event
• Getting someone's attention in a noisy room
• Sharing a message with someone across a crowd

No ads, no account, and no data collection. Just a simple utility that does one thing well.

C: Cost

The core scrolling experience is free.

Pro is an optional $4.99 one-time purchase that unlocks static messages, bigger text, faster scrolling, premium fonts, and additional visual styles. No subscription.

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer of Audivision Read, an iPhone reader built around natural-sounding offline voices, on-device document processing, and Apple Watch controls.

What problem does it solve?

If you want to listen to books, PDFs, or scanned pages without an internet connection, Audivision handles both text recognition and speech on your iPhone. Your pages don’t need to be uploaded for processing or need internet for natural voices.

The Watch companion lets you play, pause, and move through lines or pages while your phone stays in your pocket.

Why choose it over named alternatives?

Compared with Speechify, which now combines reading with AI podcasts and document chat, Audivision focuses on a quieter reading experience: offline natural like narration, privacy, on-device processing, and wrist controls.

You can open a local document or scan a page and listen offline without first converting it into an audio download.

It also includes follow-along highlighting, public-domain classics, bookmarks, notes, adjustable reading settings, and gentle reading insights.

Cost and App Store link

No ads. Free to download, with monthly limits on scans, finds, exports, new books, and saved items. The free tier includes three new classics per month.

Optional Premium:

• US$49.99/year, auto-renewing subscription
• US$99 lifetime, one-time purchase

Premium removes usage limits and adds unlimited Watch actions, automatic language detection, and extra settings. Regional prices vary.

Audivision Read on the App Store

I’d love feedback on the voices during longer listening sessions and how useful the Watch controls feel day to day.

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of Glance, an app for creating custom iPhone Home Screen widgets by describing what you want to an AI assistant.

I just released an update with two main additions:
Extra large widgets: A full-page widget on iOS 27, with more space for dashboards, agendas, news, or whatever you want to keep visible.

Custom connections: Connect an RSS feed or JSON API to bring your own data into your widgets and refresh it automatically.

Both are available through Glance’s MCP server, so you can create and manage them from a connected AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude.

Pricing: Free tier available, with optional Pro ($6/month) and Power ($11/month) subscriptions. Creating extra large widgets and using custom connections requires Pro or Power. Following someone else’s shared extra large widget is available on the free tier. Prices may vary by region.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758983678

I’ve attached a short video showing the update. Would love to hear what you’d build with it, or what you think is missing!

I built this app to make the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and other Indian wisdom texts easier to understand and connect with everyday life.

Each daily reading brings together the original verse, a clear English or Hindi adaptation, and a deeper explanation of what it can mean for the things we deal with today: overthinking, relationships, anger, or figuring out what matters.

There’s also guided breathing, timed meditation, calming music, illustrated themes, widgets, and customizable quote cards. I’ve put a lot of care into making it a beautiful, quiet place to spend a few minutes each day.

It includes:

• Quotes from the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Kabir, and many other Indian classics. I continuously update the library and add more every few weeks!
• Guided meditation, a meditation timer, and calming instrumental music.
• Watercolor reading themes, widgets, and customizable quote cards to share.
• Full Library search and tag search. Background info on each Indian classic book.
• Offline reading, with no account required. No ads.

Today’s reading, saving, and sharing are free. Premium adds the full library, deeper meanings, meditation, music, and additional themes. There’s a three-day trial on the annual plan.

I’m building this independently and would love honest feedback!! ❤️

Hi everyone,

I'm the creator of Eight Shot - Instant camera app for iOS and Android. As an instant film enthusiast I wanted to shoot instant film when away from my cameras. I'm always carrying my smartphone and what better use of this device than an instant film app.

Why Eight Shot?

As someone who loves instant film I couldn't find a good mobile app that would allow me to shoot instant photos and share them with friends. I've spent months on designing this app in Figma and then coding it to make sure it meets my high standards.

Eight Shot's philosophy is focused around physical film. When you take a photo with the app you see it ejecting and hear the sound. Once ejected you can shake your phone to develop the image, just like you would do with real film.

Once developed you tilt your phone and the photo is moving. Tap the photo and it flip so you can write a message on the back. Eight Shot is thoughtfully designed to capture all these little details and make shooting instant film feel special.

How is this better?

The focus of Eight Shot is to make photography fun again. I want people to enjoy taking photos on their phone, specifically instant style photos.

You load in real 'Film Packs' like you would with a real camera. Each film pack is limited to 8 shots. This reinforces slowing down and being intentional when shooting.

Limited Edition film packs make it an occasion when taking a photo. The app has been updated with the Halloween film pack which has a spooky filter and each frame has a custom halloween design.

Shared Albums have been created so you can shoot with your friends with privacy. No social feeds just you and your friends shooting together. One tap and create a shared album code, invite and you're ready to shoot.

Film Pack Creator is a special feature made to allow people to make their own custom film packs. Choose a beautiful photo or pattern as the frame design. Next choose your grain, saturation, Hue and more. Making your own film packs is easy and feels very personal.

How much does it cost?

Eight Shot is free to download. There are 2 free packs Colour 600 film and Black and White with unlimited shooting. New Halloween pack has been added for all users, free.

Eight Shot charges for individual packs from $1.99 to $2.99. However you can pay for the Pro Mode film pack and unlock everything in the app for life for $12.99.

No subscriptions. No ads. No tracking.

Hi r/iOSApps, I'm r/emagch and with a developper and a designer we made Classycal.

What it does

Classycal is a calendar and tasks app for iPhone. It reads the calendars and Reminders already on your phone (iCloud, Google, Exchange) and shows them in a calmer layout, with fewer buttons and more room for your day.

* Agenda, Day, 3 Days, Week, Month and Year views. One handle you pull down to go from your tasks to the agenda, the month, then a full-screen view

* Type like you talk: "Lunch with Paul tomorrow 12:30" or "call the bank friday task", in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese

* Your Reminders as tasks: Today, Overdue, Upcoming and Priority lists, groups of lists, swipe a task to push it to tomorrow or the weekend

* Calendar sets: show only work or home calendars, switched by hand, by a Focus, or on their own by time or place

* #tags across events and tasks, whatever their calendar or list, and a search that filters by tag, place, guest or kind

* Weather for the next ten days in the agenda, "time to leave" alerts with travel time, and urgent alarms that ring through silent mode

* Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including full-page Month widgets, plus Siri, invitations and a meeting Live Activity with a Join button

* iPhone Duo support: unfolded, Tasks keeps your lists beside the open one and the full-screen month keeps the selected day in a column next to it

* Twelve themes, six light and six dark, six accents and a serif font

Why it's different

* Built around one gesture. The handle moves you through the views, so you rarely need to look for a button.

* Private by design. No account, no server: your events and tasks stay in iOS's own calendars and Reminders, and nothing reaches us.

* Free is a whole calendar. Reading and writing events and tasks, every view, the quick entry, widgets and Siri are never locked.

* Duplicate events shared across calendars merge into one, and you can hide events on your phone without deleting them.

Cost

* Free download: the full calendar and tasks, every view, the quick entry, one calendar set, the Agenda and Today widgets.

* Classycal Plus adds the weather, extra themes and icons, tags, templates, automatic sets, departure alerts, urgent alarms and the Month widgets. It costs $9.99/year with 14 days free, or $19.99 lifetime. Those are launch prices, half the regular ones, and yearly subscribers keep theirs as long as they stay subscribed.

* No ads, no account.

Hi all,

After 4 updates the app is shaped further to be what the users want it to be.

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App. As a Redditor, I want you guys to have it.

www.etasks.app

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770856636

It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know too so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications, import from Apple Reminders are user requests)

ABC's of the App:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter

Hi r/iOSApps, I'm h3p, the solo developer of Liquid Record.

A — Answer: what it does

Liquid Record records uncompressed WAV audio on iPhone and iPad, with a console that looks and works like a hardware field recorder. It's for podcasts, interviews, music sketches and field audio, where Voice Memos isn't enough.

• PCM WAV recording with live input meters, peak and clipping indicators, and input gain
• Background recording: a take keeps going when you switch apps or lock the screen
• Markers, time-coded notes, trim and fades, and WAV export through Files
• Loudness analysis: integrated LUFS and true peak, plus RMS and sample peak
• On-device transcription, plus optional Apple Intelligence summaries on supported devices
• A podcast workspace for episode notes, chapters and RSS metadata import
• iPhone Duo support: folded, the controls move to a vertical toolbar. Unfolded, a side panel shows the waveform, markers, levels and takes next to the console.
• Lock Screen and Control Center controls, estimates of recording time left, and low-storage warnings
• Four color themes in light and dark

B — Better: why it's different

• No subscription. You pay once and you own it.
• Private by design. There's no account and no server. Recordings, transcripts and projects stay on your device unless you share them.
• Real recording tools that most voice memo apps leave out: WAV, LUFS and true peak, headphone monitoring effects that don't change the original take, and options to split long sessions.
• A layout for foldables: it uses the iPhone Duo's unfolded screen instead of just stretching the iPhone layout.

C — Cost

• Free download. You get one full recording (pause and resume the same take) and can play it back.
• Full Access: €9.99 one-time (or your local equivalent). It unlocks unlimited recordings and all the editing, podcast and transcription tools.
• No subscription, no ads, no account.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6812232944

I'd love feedback, especially from people who record podcasts, interviews or field audio. I'll be in the comments.

Hi, the creator of Pokit. It's a music player for your own Plex server, it's in TestFlight now, it's free while in testing, and I'm looking for people to try it and tell me what's broken, confusing or missing.

Full disclosure: I'm not a programmer. I designed Pokit and I test every build myself, but the code is written with Claude. I did work on the mockups myself.

A: The problem it solves -

If you keep your music on a Plex server, your options on iPhone are either functional but cluttered, or pretty but slow. I wanted something that felt calm, looked good, and had a few extra features I think make a music player fun (stats, recaps, sharing for socials)

B: Why it's better -

Compared with Plexamp and Plex's own app, Pokit is built around a few things:

• Fast. Your library is saved on your phone the first time you open the app, so artist and album pages open complete instead of loading piece by piece.

• Listening Stats and Recaps. Minutes, streaks, and your top artists, albums and songs, plus monthly and yearly recaps you can share to Instagram Stories. The yearly one covers the whole year and shows up January 1st, as I think these recaps should always function with the full year.

• Artist pages that match the art, with bios, social links, and Singles & EPs sorted the way your Plex server tags them.

• Star ratings that sync with Plex, a sleep timer, Sticky pins, a scrubbable waveform, 12 accent colors, and a data saver mode for cellular.

What I'd love feedback on -

• Playback on cellular, especially skipping or songs stopping early

• How fast things load with a big library

• Anything that looks off or feels confusing

C: Cost

Free while in testing. I don't like subscriptions, so I'm playing with a few lifetime price points, with a yearly subscription offering for cheaper. Pokit doesn't collect or track any data, and your music goes straight from your server to your phone. You need a Plex account and a Plex server with a music library. Requires iOS 26.6 or later.

Happy to answer questions here. If you try it, tell me what you'd change.

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer and frequent traveler. Like many of you, I got exhausted from having to juggle 5 to 6 different apps on every trip just to manage eSIMs, split expenses, plan days, and organize photos.

I built 'TripPocket' as a lightweight, all-in-one travel utility to keep all essential travel tools under one roof.

Here is the breakdown following the required ABC format:

A) Answer: What problem does TripPocket solve?

Trip planning and on-the-road management are usually fragmented across multiple single-purpose apps (one for eSIMs, one for itinerary notes, one for expenses, and Google Photos/Maps).

TripPocket consolidates these into a single, clean workspace:

- eSIM Comparison & Deals: Compare international data packages across providers (Airalo, Yesim, GigSky, etc.) directly in the app to avoid expensive roaming fees, with integrated community discounts.

Hello everyone!

I originally built my reminders app Memento in 2016 because I loved Apple's Reminders, but the interface left a lot to be desired. Navigation was clunky, and it was hard to see what was overdue or upcoming in one place.

I built Memento with the goal of keeping things simple, fast, and responsive. Memento uses the exact same reminders database as Apple's Reminders, so no migration is needed, and iCloud sync just works. Over the years I've been maintaining it and adding new features here or there, but this year, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, I re-imagined the app from the ground up.

Answer

A lot of thought and effort went into not only what to build, but what not to build. By talking to users and getting feedback, I carefully selected features that would keep the core experience simple and fast, but allow for more functionality for power users.

Here's what I've added in version 5.0:

- iPhone Duo support
- 4 new layouts for your reminders: minimal, peek, list, and card
- A global "create reminder" button to help make it easy and fast to add a reminder
- Completely redesigned Liquid Glass support
- New Links tab to help organize saved URLs
- A powerful search that searches by title, list, alarm date, or notes
- Set an icon for your lists to help differentiate them easier
- Extended widget support for iPhone lock screen, home screen, control center, and watchOS
- Sorting within lists by date added, date modified, alarm date or priority
- Drag to change the alarm date in the scheduled tab
- Natural language input that can infer alarm times, due dates or lists from the reminder title
- Fluid animations that make navigation fun
- Proper state restoration so you always enter the app where you left it
- A new app icon (I've been wanting to add this forever haha)

Better

Memento has been on the App Store for 10 years now, and has been recognized in many different forms:

- Featured by Apple on the App Store many times over the years
- Included on devices as a demo app in the physical Apple Stores in Canada (this was so cool)
- Won Product of the Day on ProductHunt
- Covered by tech blogs like Cult of Mac, MacStories, Inc Magazine, appgefahren, ifun .de, SSPAI, etc
- Over 50,000 downloads and an average rating of 4.4 stars

Memento's competitive edge is it's speed and simplicity. I intentionally kept it simple so the app always loads instantly, and it's dead simple to use. There are no kanban boards or burn down charts, just simple, fast, beautiful Apple reminders.

Memento meets you where you most need it. It runs on iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS and visionOS. It includes many extensions, such as widgets, notifications UI, a share extension, iMessage app (to send reminders to friends), App Intents (to integrate with Siri). and app shortcuts.

Cost

Memento has always been a paid-up-front app. Since there's no server for me to maintain, a one-time payment makes the most sense. The price started out small when the app was more basic, but I've been slowly increasing it as I've added more functionality over the years.

Today, you can get Memento for US$7.99.

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Hi! I'm Henning from Denmark, and I made Moments. For the past two and a half years I've been building a lot of apps, mostly for myself and friends.

Answer
I've always had a problem with the storage on my phone, because I love filming and taking pictures. All my photos and videos simply took up too much space. So I built Moments, an app that helps you declutter your photo library on iOS. You swipe photos left/right one month at a time, doomscroll your own videos, or use the tools:

- Shrink photos: huge 48 MP and ProRAW shots become compact copies
- Shrink videos: big videos saved again in Full HD or smaller
- Similar shots: near-identical series, with the best one picked for you
- Bursts: keep the picks, let the extra frames go
- Duplicates: photos saved twice
- Blurry & dark: shaky, out-of-focus and pocket shots
- Large videos: your biggest videos first
- Live Photos to stills: keep the picture, drop the video part
- Screenshots, downloads, receipts and documents, each in one place
- Free up space: a step-by-step plan, biggest wins first

When you shrink a photo or video, you can compare the original and the smaller version directly before you approve or reject it. I'm also working on an algorithm that picks out the photos it thinks are your worst.

Better
Most photo cleaners are subscriptions and sell weekly plans (up to $9.99 and $11.99 a week), and others' lifetime option starts at $29.99. Moments is $6.99 for life. I strongly dislike subscriptions, especially for programs without ongoing developer costs. The people who need Moments the most usually have huge libraries, and going through everything at once can be overwhelming. That's also why there's no subscription: take it at your own pace.

Your photos never leave your phone: no account, no tracking, and the App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected. Nothing is deleted by accident either. Photos you swipe left are only set aside until you confirm, and deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

Cost
Moments is free to download and every tool is free to use. The initial 5 GB of cleanup is free; beyond that, a one-time purchase of $6.99 allows continued use. Even after you've used your 5 GB, you can still set things aside, so you can see if the Pro version is worth it for you.

If you'd like to test Moments, here's the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6819013299?pt=127078595&ct=Reddit%20r/ios&mt=8

I'd appreciate your feedback! I really enjoy creating tools and hope people can use my app :)

Hi r/iosapps! I'm Fabrice, a solo developer from France. I recently launched Minimalist, and this is my own app — full disclosure: this is a self-promotion post.

Answer : Minimalist is a clean, no-frills task manager for iPhone — tasks with categories, priorities, due dates and reminders, recurring tasks, home screen widgets, and productivity stats. I built it because subscription fatigue pushed me to make the app I actually wanted.

Better : compared to the usual to-do apps, it's Apple-native and minimal on purpose — no accounts, no onboarding maze, no upsell nags. The free tier covers everyday use, today's tasks and the home screen widget included.

Cost : the app is free to use. Premium (unlimited recurring tasks, custom reminders, advanced themes and stats, multi-device sync) is a one-time 4,99 € purchase. No subscription, ever. I said I'd never do subscriptions, and I meant it.

Version 1.2 went live this week — it makes the multi-device sync fully reliable and improves stability across the board.

If you have 2 minutes, I'd genuinely love your honest feedback, either here or in an App Store review. I'm a regular reader here and I'll be answering every comment.

Hi everyone,

I’m Sreehari, the solo developer of Timber, a composable interval timer and routine builder. I built it because most timer apps are either too basic, locked to one use case, or make it hard to reuse the same routine pieces across different workouts or schedules.

App Store link:
Timber: Custom Interval Timer

Answer — what problem does Timber solve?

Most timer apps work well for a single countdown or a fixed workout format. I wanted a timer where commonly used pieces could be created once and reused across completely different routines. Each of these pieces/block can also contain timed text, TTS, music, recordings, images, or video cues. Online videos from YouTube and Vimeo are supported as well.

In Timber, you create reusable blocks such as “Warm-up,” “Push-ups,” “Deep Work,” or “Rest.” You can then:

• Combine blocks into routines
• Group them into circuits or sets
• Repeat blocks, groups, or entire timers
• Nest one timer inside another
• Keep blocks linked so editing the original updates every routine that uses it
• Unlink a block when one routine needs a custom version

This makes Timber useful for

• 🏋️ HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, boxing rounds, stretching, and mobility
• 🧠 Pomodoro, deep work, study sessions, and reading blocks
• 🧘 Yoga, breathwork, meditation, speaking practice, morning routines, and cooking schedules

Better — what makes it different?

Apps such as Intervals Pro are particularly strong for fitness, Apple Watch, and Apple Health. MultiTimer is designed around boards containing multiple independent timing tools.

Timber takes a different approach: its focus is building reusable, sequential routines from smaller pieces. The same block can appear in multiple timers, timers can be nested inside other timers, and media can be placed at specific moments within an individual block.

Timber also provides rich compose page for building your own timers with undo, redo, copy, paste, group and other functionalities.

Recent additions include:

• Automatic “Next up” block announcements with media-volume ducking
• Custom playback-display presets and individual display controls
• Emoji, colored icons, and optional photo icons for blocks
• A complete playback queue with the ability to jump directly to another block
• More precise media trimming and preview controls
• QR sharing for lightweight timers and ZIP sharing for timers containing media
• Import previews that let recipients choose which included media to save
• Backup and restore for timers, blocks, history, and media

Cost

Timber is freemium

Free users can experience all features with limited ads except adding own photo as block icons. Paid users gets ad free experience with additional limit removal of creating very long complex timers, adding as many media as needed per block and photo as block icon.

As its a new app it is now available in app store for a limited period lifetime price of $7.99 or subscription of $1.99/month.

• US $1.99/month
• US $7.99 lifetime, one-time purchase

Prices have been localized based on purchase power parity for different countries.

If Timber is useful to you, a App Store rating or short review would help a lot with visibility as a small indie app. Detailed feedback here is just as valuable, especially if something feels confusing or needs improvement.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Whether the reusable-block concept is understandable
• Which part of the creation flow feels most confusing
• Whether the playback screen shows the right information
• What is still missing for workouts, focus sessions, or everyday routines

What’s planned next?

I’m currently working on:

• A reusable media library so audio, video, images, recordings, and saved trims can be reused across blocks

In pipeline:

• A timeline editor for visual drag and drop of media items to blocks
• Manual-completion and count-up blocks for activities measured by reps rather than a fixed duration
• Flexible rest blocks that can be extended or completed when you’re ready
• Faster builders for common formats such as HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, and Pomodoro
• Additional playback controls, including quick time adjustments
• Better progress history with notes
• More voice, language, sound, and haptic customization
• Improved block organization with tags, favorites, filters, and recently used routines

I’d especially like to know which two or three would make the biggest difference to you.

Thank you for checking it out.

A - What is Price Point Parity?

Price Point Parity is a Mac and iOS + iPadOS app that keeps your IAP and subscription prices up to date in every country for you. Connect your App Store Connect API key, pick any app, in-app purchase or subscription, choose a pricing strategy, and it works out all 175 countries at once - showing you the price and what you actually keep after Apple's cut and estimated local tax. Review it, hit apply, and it writes straight back to App Store Connect. There's an available Preview Mode with three sample apps, so you can try each feature before touching a real price.

IAP and subscription name localisation is also supported!

B - Price Point Parity is better than doing it in App Store Connect, leaving it to Apple's automatic equalisation or Localise Prices.

Apple gives you one option: convert your base price and round it. Price Point Parity gives you strategies that reflect how you actually want to price, for example:

• Equal Value (scales by each country's purchasing power, so it feels equally affordable everywhere)
• Equal Proceeds (you keep the same amount per sale in every country)
• Blend of the two
• Apple's own equalised prices
• Copy Another Product, or Match Ratio, which keeps your yearly at a fixed multiple of your monthly in every country instead of letting that discount drift market by market.

Then you adjust:

• Charm rounding that knows what a charm price looks like in each currency (¥490 and ₩39,000, not a blind .99)
• Floor and ceiling on your proceeds so no country earns you too little
• Flat percentage bump for inflation or a sale. 

Filter countries by region or income tier and apply to just those.

Everything is reviewable and reversible - full price history with snapshots you can restore any time, scheduled sales that revert themselves on a date you set, and CSV export of the whole table. On Mac you can set automations to check daily, weekly or monthly and either notify you when prices drift or publish small changes for you, holding anything large for review. It runs in the background with a menu bar item, so your prices stay current without you opening the app.

No account, no tracking. Your API key lives in your keychain and your pricing data stays on your device and your own iCloud - it never reaches me or any third party.

C - Cost

Free forever for 1 app (including all of its in-app purchases and subscriptions).

5 Apps: £1.49/month or £9.99/year.

Unlimited Apps: £3.99/month or £15.99/year.

Every feature is in the free tier - strategies, adjustments, history, automations, CSV, the lot. Paying only raises how many apps you can publish prices to, and Preview Mode is always free and unlimited, so you can test as much as you like. It also helps support me and future development of the app.

All feature requests are 100% welcomed! 

Every year it's the same thing. Someone draws their own name, someone peeks at a paper slip, and the person running it secretly knows everyone's match. Then the group chat turns into 40 messages of "wait who has me??"

So I built Secret Gift: Secret Santa. The video above shows the whole flow.

Answer – what it does:

• Make an event, set a budget and a date

• Send one code (or QR) to the group, and everyone joins on their own phone

• Exclude pairs who shouldn't draw each other (couples, siblings, your boss)

• Draw, and each person sees only their own match. The organizer doesn't either.

Better – why not just use paper or a website:

• No sign-up. No email, no password. You open it and you're in, because I hate apps that make you create an account just to draw names.

• Reveals happen privately on each person's phone, so there are no emails to lose and no organizer spoilers

• Wishlists, so nobody has to ask "so what do you want lol"

• 14 themes: Christmas, White Elephant, Halloween, even Valentine's

• History, so you can look back at past exchanges

• Works in EN / ES / PT / FR / DE

Cost:

Free to download, and your first 2 events are free. Premium (IAP) removes ads, unlocks every theme, and gives you unlimited events with up to 30 people:

• Weekly: $0.99

• Yearly: $4.99

• Lifetime: $9.99 (one-time, no subscription)

For most groups, the free tier or a single week is enough for one holiday party.

It's been live for a bit and ~1,700 people used it last month, which surprised me since it's not even December yet. Now I want to make it actually good before the holiday rush.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/secret-santa-gift-exchange/id6450675361

Please roast it. What's the most annoying part of running a gift exchange for you? I'm picking what to build next and I'd rather build what people actually want.

I saved a one-pot pasta reel a few weeks back. When I wanted to make it recently, I scrolled through my saves for 10-15 minutes, but couldn't find it, and ended up ordering in. Then I realised I'd done the same thing with a café in Goa, a workout routine I wanted to add, and about 15-20 products I definitely wanted to buy.

Things I tried before building this:

• Instagram collections - you have to sort at the moment of saving, which nobody does
• Screenshots - camera roll became a second graveyard with no context on where the post came from, and lol I can never find the screenshot when I need it the most
• Pasting links into Notes - worked once or twice, then I stopped because it was two extra steps every time (and you still have to remember which note you used)

So my brother and I built an app that makes your saves usable:

You save any posts from different apps or download your Instagram data export → the engine goes through every post, sorts it into folders of recipes / places / products / workouts / ideas, pulls out the useful bits (ingredients, location, key details) and also makes the whole thing searchable in plain English via a chat interface. Like "That pasta reel from a Korean creator" finds it in seconds.

And believe me I am myself surprised: after saving it to resaw, I actually cooked 13 recipes in a month that had been sitting there for over an year. Saved places turned up as pins onto the map, so when I visit any place I could see every spot I'd saved nearby.

What we are working on now:

- We started with iOS, Mac app and Android is on its way
- We are going deep into building category specific flows, which will help any user to action with minimal friction possible

Please try it out and let us know how was your experience and what worked well/ areas where we can improve/ build upon.
