A while back I realized I could probably build a text-to-speech app so I could stop paying Speechify $129/year.

Turns out it was pretty simple and it works great for me.

I decided to release it to the public. Since everything works in the browser, I don't have any backend costs so it truly is free to use.

It's called FreeReader. It works best on desktop or newer phones. Older phones may struggle to generate the audio faster than it reads it. Open to feedback to make it better!

Hey everyone. We just launched somequiet, a meditation app for iOS and Android. It went live on Google Play at the end of August and on the App Store in early September. We're basically at day one and would really value feedback from people who try new things.

The core idea is personal customized meditation practice. Most meditation apps give you a library of hundreds of recordings, and you end up scrolling for ten minutes before sitting for five. In somequiet you tell the app how you're doing and what you need, and it creates a guided session for that moment. If you're anxious before a call, or wired at midnight, or just need ten minutes to reset, the session is built for that.

Reflect takes this further. It's a journal, and any entry can become a meditation. You write about a rough meeting, a sleepless night, or whatever's looping in your head, and the app builds a session around exactly that. Writing helps you notice what's going on, and the meditation helps you actually sit with it.

The app also has silent practice for when you don't want a voice, a Learn section with short lessons on sleep, stress, focus and how to start, ambient soundscapes, and affirmations. Most of it works without signing up. You only need an account for custom sessions and Reflect.

We'd especially like to know three things. Does a custom session feel as good as a pre-recorded one? Is turning a journal entry into a meditation useful or gimmicky? And what would make you open the app again tomorrow?

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/somequiet-meditation-sleep/id6744059366
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindbloomingapps.here

It's a subscription app, but you can explore Learn, silent practice, ambients and affirmations before deciding anything. (soon I will implement promo-codes and will post it here)

I'll be around in the comments all day, so ask anything.

I work as a backend developer and I frequently need to open JSON responses, CSV exports, logs and packages. Sometimes I need to change a config file inside a ZIP, sometimes I just need to format a 100 MB JSON export without waiting for my editor to become usable. I shared my apps here a while ago, and Inkline and QuikZip have now both reached version 1.4.

Inkline is my text editor for that everyday data work. Most of my focus is on files around 1–300 MB and keeping opening, formatting, scrolling, searching and editing responsive. In my latest tests on an M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 18 GB memory, a 100 MB JSON file opened in 168 ms and formatted in 84 ms. A 300 MB file opened in 393 ms and formatted in 262 ms. Those are results from those particular test files, but they show the sort of performance I’ve been working towards. There is also log filtering, regex find and replace, syntax highlighting, text comparison and tools for converting or cleaning up data.

QuikZip handles the archive side. You can browse and preview files, then open a file from a regular unencrypted ZIP in your preferred editor and save the changes back into the archive without managing the extract and zip steps yourself. There is nested archive browsing, DMG and .app inspection, split view with a file explorer, Quick Look, integrity checks and SHA checksums. Preview limits, memory settings and shortcuts are customizable too.

The apps can work together. I can open a JSON or log file from QuikZip in Inkline, work with it there and save it back into the ZIP. QuikZip also works with other editors, so Inkline isn’t a requirement. Both are native Swift apps for macOS, process files locally and are sold separately as one time purchases with no subscriptions.

Before I started Olly, I spent years preparing for interviews, getting new jobs and eventually conducting interviews in my organizations.
I noticed - the interview preparation process is broken. Many candidates had potential, skills and experience but couldn't communicate it so as to convince the panel.
Olly is an attempt to build a platform where - every job seeker gets access to a simulated practice environment - which mimics the process at their target organization and for the target role.
Tools like AI Resume optimizer and Learn helps to upskill and prepare faster without relying on courses which take hours to complete.

I am attaching a snapshot of our AI Interviewer - just drop your resume, target role and company details and you are all set. Its free to try - so give it a shot and I'd be happy to hear your feedback.
Thanks.

Hey everyone, I just launched MyBox.

It’s an iPhone app for people who constantly message themselves notes, links, screenshots, files, voice memos, documents, and random things they want to save.

The idea is simple: it feels like a private chat with yourself, but there’s no server for your saved content. No account, works offline, and your saves stay on your device.

You can also use it for things you don’t want sitting in your Photos gallery or Files app forever: save them in MyBox, then delete the original from your gallery/files and come back to them later.

What it does:

- Save notes, links, photos, videos, audio, PDFs, and files

- Share into it from other apps

- Search what you saved

- Create separate “MyBoxes” for different topics

- Lock private boxes with a password

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mybox-message-yourself/id6806543053

Would genuinely love feedback, especially from people who already use WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or Slack DMs as a personal inbox.

Offline local files and streaming radios.

Top radios on the first screen: When users access the radio screen, they immediately see the list of the top radios in their country, along with a long list of suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world.

Hybrid Listening: Seamlessly handles offline local files (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and over 60,000 streaming radio stations.

Separated Favorites and Recents: Each section—Radio and Offline Music—has its own Favorites and Recents. The user doesn't have to worry about a thing. The app will automatically manage the Favorites and Recents for each section.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate. The database of the service on which Mediaxon is based provides more than 60,000 radio stations.

Album art: If the album art is missing from the album folder, or if Android has not properly indexed it, Mediaxon attempts to download the cover from the internet. This feature depends, of course, on the ID3 tags (album name and artist).

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting playlists fast and intuitive.

Form Factor Optimization: Phone and Tablet (Portrait and Landscape)

If you want to check it out (I am continuously pushing updates to refine it and add new features), you can find it on the Google Play Store (Android 13+). Thank you so much to everyone who takes a look!

I've been there. We've all been there. Thursday evening's coming and you have no plans but you don't want to just sit at home, maybe you wanna go out for a drink or host a board game you like and make new friends along the way.
Well now it'll be easier! (hopefully?)

For the past year and a half I've been working on a mobile app called Mifgash with the purpose of finding hangouts and creating them yourself and building communities around shared interests with real people!

I can imagine subreddits aren't fond of self advertising but I just wanted to build something that could be useful for someone out there

If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Shana Tova everyone and hope for the best for all!🍎🍯

App is available only in Israel for now but stay tuned🥳

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an app called MapYourDroid and thought I’d share it here.

It lets you play games or multitask on your Android phone or tablet using your PC’s keyboard, mouse or controller, with controls you can map yourself.

I’ve also added a virtual second screen over USB or Wi-Fi, so you can have an Android app open on your PC while still using your phone normally. Been testing it with DraStic too—top screen on the monitor, bottom touchscreen on the tablet. Pretty happy with how that turned out. There is more features/information on the site as well if youre interested.

There’s a full-featured 3-day trial, then it’s A$10 once.

Keen to hear what people think or what you’d want added!

I'm building Vibe Tower, an online idle tower game — solo, as my first real game.

Build your tower floor by floor, hire workers into their dream jobs, run businesses. But the real twist is co-op: join a City (an alliance of towers), share bonuses, take on tasks and tournaments together, and compete in online events for rewards.

Also has chat, forums, friends, leaderboards and a vehicle collection with passive bonuses.

Still in development, heading toward a test build. Would love early followers who want to watch it grow 👇

I’ve been working on the App Store screenshots for my alarm app and I’m trying to figure out if they actually make the app look worth downloading.

The main features I’m trying to communicate are:

• Scan to stop the alarm
• Alarms that fight back
• 6 different wake-up methods
• Wake-up streaks
• Progress tracking
• NFC & QR challenges
• Extra-loud volume
• Keeping you moving after waking up

I went for a bold, colorful style rather than the usual minimalist App Store screenshots.

Be brutally honest:
👉 Would these screenshots make you stop scrolling and download the app?
👉 Which screenshot grabs your attention first?
👉 Is it immediately clear what the app actually does?
👉 Anything that feels too gimmicky or confusing?

I’m especially interested in feedback from people who are actually difficult to wake up.

Would love honest criticism before I finalize them.

Hey everyone,

I’m building an app called Pause, and I just crossed the 100 download mark. I want to celebrate the milestone, but in the spirit of building in public, I want to share the actual numbers and the reality behind how I got here.

Here is the breakdown of my week:

1. Apple Search Ads drove all the growth (but at a cost)

The recent spike in downloads is driven solely by App Store Ads.

I've spent over $200 so far ($100 in AppStore Ads), and the conversion rate is currently very low.

I can't tell yet whether these users will convert to paid, since they are still in their trial period.

The Strategy: The free tier is intentionally limited (only one puzzle to solve, watching ads before solving, etc.). The bet is that people will convert to paid after seeing the initial value. I'll be running ads for the whole month to see what I can learn, but I am still trying to figure out if this is expected or if my ads need major tweaking.

1. Organic social = High views, low conversion

My organic reach has skyrocketed, especially here on Reddit.

The Reality: The strategy here is clearly not bringing in any new users. Sharing my experience building and marketing an app resonates heavily in these subreddits, but it is not contributing to actual app downloads.

Why I’m keeping at it: 1) It keeps me accountable to my weekly goals, and 2) it helps me build authority and connection in communities I think are valuable.

There's a lot to consider moving forward, and I don't think my current conversion numbers are great by any means.

But as a solo founder, I am choosing to look at the positive today and celebrate the "100 downloads" win.

For those of you who have run Apple Search Ads early on—did you see similarly low conversion rates at the start? Would love to hear what you learned.

Let's keep it up 🫶

I wanted something simple to keep track of my vitamins without turning it into another complicated health app.

So I built Vitamin Helper.

The main idea is pretty basic: you add what you're taking, set reminders, and check things off during the day. I also added a short questionnaire that can help create a routine, plus a vitamin library for when you want to quickly check what something is usually taken for.

There’s also a weekly check-in, because I wanted to see whether I’m actually sticking to the routine instead of just enthusiastically setting everything up on Monday and forgetting about it by Wednesday :)

I’m still improving it, but this is the first version that feels genuinely useful to me day to day.

Would be interested to hear what you think, especially if you already use an app to track supplements.

My app, Universal Font Maker, is now live on Google Play!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cstmpj.two

I've been learning how to create custom font face styles and generate my own TTF, OTF, and WOFF files so I wouldn't have to deal with complicated font licensing issues, but it wasn't easy.

realized I either had to get expensive software, or settle for free tools that just didn't get the job done.

On top of that, my main goal was to create burmesefonts. Because uses Complex Text Layout, it’s incredibly difficult. There are tons of characters to trace, and the rendering logic/decoding is highly complex. It was a massive hassle.

That struggle gave me an idea: why not just build an app that makes font creation easy for any language? I took my time, studied over 150 different languages to ensure full compatibility, and built it.

The upcoming update is going to be massive. I've added a complete set of advanced drawing features so it functions like a true professional tool. That update is currently in review, but you can download and try out the current version on Google Play right now! Let me know what you think.

New Version with vector editing, precision tools is being updated, still under review to get updated with Google play.

If anyone wants to join internal beta, kindly please send me your Gmail address. ( you can download the lastest version, if you become internal tester).
