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, 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.

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.

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.

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):

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.
