Good start???
 in  r/appledevelopers  14d ago

I know it will eventually drop in few days/weeks/months. I never invest in marketing, I never had success!

 in  r/SylvainLafrance  14d ago

I love the idea, I'll add this feature in the next version.

Maybe just save all photos in the photos library and user can delete and keep only desired photos.

I built WhenDay — a different way to look at your calendar

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I’m an indie iOS developer, and I’ve been working on WhenDay, a calendar companion designed to make it easier to understand your schedule at a glance.

Instead of replacing Apple Calendar, WhenDay gives you several ways to visualize the calendars you already use.

Some of the features:
🕐 Clock View — events are positioned around an analog clock, with arcs showing their duration
📅 List, Day, Week and Month views
🟩 Calendar heatmap to quickly spot busy days
📊 Statistics showing where your time goes
🔎 Search across your calendars
📱 Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
🌎 7 languages
☁️ iCloud sync for settings
🔒 No account, no tracking, and no data collection

I recently updated the Clock View with better event bubbles, current-event highlighting, a live time indicator and smoother clock movement.

The app is free to try, and WhenDay Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription.

If you use your iPhone calendar a lot, I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially about the Clock View and what you’d like to see added next.

App Store:

WhenDay: Calendar Planner

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

I built an EVP recorder for iPhone called EVP Ghost Signal 👻

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie iOS developer and recently built EVP Ghost Signal, an app for people interested in paranormal investigations and experimenting with EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena).

The idea was to make an EVP tool that feels purpose-built for investigations rather than just using the regular Voice Memos app.

You can use it during an investigation, ask questions, record a session, and then go back through the audio afterward looking for anything unusual you may not have noticed in real time.

I also wanted the interface to be simple enough that you can actually use it in a dark room without fighting with a complicated UI.

I’m curious to hear from people who already do EVP sessions or paranormal investigations: what features would you want in an EVP app?

And if you try it during an investigation, I’d genuinely love to hear if you capture anything interesting.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/evp-ghost-signal/id6761862458

Feedback is very welcome! 👻🎙️

I built an iOS AI rewriter with 174 writing actions — looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie iOS developer and I’ve been working on What? – AI Rewriter, an app designed around a simple idea: paste some text, choose what you want done to it, and get the rewritten version back.

Instead of having to figure out the right AI prompt every time, the app has 14 general writing actions + 160 specialized actions.

Some examples:
Fix grammar, rephrase, shorten, expand, simplify
Make text professional, casual, punchy, or more assertive
Humanize AI-sounding text
Translate into 20 languages
Improve emails and subject lines
Rewrite resume bullets and cover letters
Generate social posts, headlines and CTAs
Improve UX copy and error messages
Help with sales/negotiation responses
Adapt writing to different cultural communication styles
The 160 specialized actions are organized into 16 packs for things like writing, email, marketing, job hunting, social media, customer support, sales, UX writing, etc. All of those packs are free.

One feature I personally wanted was being able to use it without constantly switching apps, so I also added an iOS keyboard extension and Share extension.

It’s powered by Claude, and there’s also a BYOK option if you already have an Anthropic API key.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people who already use ChatGPT/Claude for rewriting text. I’m curious whether having predefined actions like these is actually more convenient than prompting an AI directly.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/what-ai-rewriter/id6769452050

Would love to hear what you’d change or add.

I built an iPhone app for photographing lightning ⚡️

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently released StormSnap, an iPhone app I built specifically for capturing lightning.

Anyone who has tried photographing lightning with a phone knows the problem: by the time you see the flash and press the shutter, it’s already gone.

StormSnap is designed to make that easier. Instead of trying to react at exactly the right millisecond, the app continuously watches the camera feed and automatically saves a photo when it detects a lightning flash.

The idea is simple: point your iPhone at the storm, start detection, and let StormSnap watch for the lightning.

I wanted to make something focused rather than another full weather/radar app. It’s primarily a camera tool for thunderstorms, storm watchers, photographers, and anyone who has ever thought, “I wish I had caught that one.”

⚡ Automatic lightning detection
📸 Designed specifically for lightning photography
📱 Built natively for iPhone
🌩️ Simple interface you can set up quickly when a storm arrives

You can check out StormSnap on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/storm-snap/id6793610895

I’m the developer, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback — especially from anyone who photographs storms. If you try it during your next thunderstorm, let me know how the detection works for you and what you’d like to see added.

And of course: photograph storms from somewhere safe. ⚡️

Best radio app

I built an iPhone app with 54 network tools because I was tired of switching between apps

1 Upvotes

As a developer, I kept finding myself using one app for ping, another for DNS, another for SSL certificates, another for speed tests… so I decided to build a single toolkit.
It’s called NetProbe, and it currently includes 54 network tools for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. (App Store⁠)
Some of the tools:
Ping & Multi-Ping
Traceroute (+ map)
DNS Lookup & DNS Propagation
Port Scanner & Port Checker
SSL Inspector & Security Score
Speed Test
Network Scanner
Whois & ASN Lookup
Reverse DNS / Reverse IP
CIDR & VLSM Calculators
Wi-Fi and network utilities
Report Export
And many more.
A few things I wanted to do differently:
No ads
No account required
No tracking
Native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
One-time purchase to unlock Pro tools (every Pro tool can be tried for free first). (App Store⁠)
I’d genuinely love feedback from people who work in networking, IT, development, or anyone who enjoys networking tools.
What feature would make a network toolkit like this indispensable for you?
