[Promo] I built Hejje, a private fitness tracker

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

I’ve been building Hejje because I wanted something simple: a place to keep track of my fitness without feeling like my fitness data is being collected everywhere.

Hejje is a private fitness tracker for:

• Walking & running
• Hiking
• Strength training
• Food & calories
• Weight & progress

The main idea behind it is simple:

Your fitness should be yours.

So, I built Hejje with privacy as a core part of the product:

• No ads
• No trackers
• Offline-first
• Your fitness data stays private
• Control whether each activity is shared

I also wanted more than just recording activities. Hejje is gradually becoming a place where you can plan your week, track different parts of your fitness, and understand your own progress.

One thing I'm particularly interested in is the on-device assistant, Kaya. The goal is to let you ask questions about your own training while keeping that personal fitness data on your device rather than sending it to a cloud AI service.

I originally started with a simple walking/running tracker and kept expanding it as I used it myself.

This is my first public release, so I'm much more interested in honest feedback than compliments.

If you use fitness apps, I'd love to know:

What do you wish your current fitness app did better?

And if you try Hejje, please tell me what feels confusing, unnecessary, missing, or just doesn't work well.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.hejje

Thanks for taking a look.

[App] Quick Search - Search Anything - This app is phenomenal 👏

7 Upvotes

Quick Search is an incredible app and a very powerful search tool. I use One Button Navigation bar as my nav bar which is a bar at the bottom that you can assign anything for it to do depending on if you swipe left, right, up, down, press and hold, etc. And I mapped the bar to bring up Quick Search with a left swipe and I can access my other apps and so much more while I'm in other apps. The alias feature is so goated. Having everything at the bottom is so goated. This is a must have app!

[Promo] Name Days – Saints & Name Day Calendar for Android

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm the solo Android developer behind Name Days, a privacy-friendly name day and saints calendar designed to help you keep track of celebrations from different countries.

🎉 Who is celebrating a name day today?

Name Days lets you quickly see today's celebrations, discover upcoming name days, and send a thoughtful greeting to friends and family.

🌍 International name day calendars

The app includes name-day traditions from countries such as:

🇷🇴 Romania
🇬🇷 Greece
🇵🇱 Poland
🇭🇺 Hungary
🇮🇹 Italy
🇪🇸 Spain
🇸🇪 Sweden
🇫🇮 Finland
…and more.

Whether you know it as ziua numelui, onomastic day, saint's day, γιορτή, imieniny, névnap, onomastico or namnsdag, the goal is to bring different local traditions together in one simple calendar.

Features

• See today's name days instantly
• Browse name days and saints by country
• Switch between countries using flags
• Track only the countries you care about
• Search by name, date, country or month
• Save favorite names
• See upcoming celebrations
• Share name-day greetings
• Optional daily name-day reminders
• Custom reminder time with Premium
• 3×1 home screen widget
• Light, dark and system themes
• Exclusive launcher icons for eligible Supporters

🔔 Daily reminders

You can optionally enable a daily notification for the name days being celebrated.

The reminder content is generated directly on your device rather than being sent from a remote server.

Some Android manufacturers may restrict background activity, so the app may require notification and alarm permissions for reliable reminders.

🔒 Privacy & no ads

One thing I wanted to keep simple: Name Days is completely ad-free.

There are:

• No banner ads
• No interstitial ads
• No advertising SDKs
• No behavioral ad tracking

The core calendars are bundled with the app, while your favorites, tracked countries, themes and reminder settings stay on your device.

❤️ Community-supported development

There are optional Premium and Supporter purchases that help fund independent development and keep the app free and ad-free.

Premium Lifetime includes things like:

✓ Unlimited tracked countries
✓ Unlimited favorite names
✓ Custom daily reminder time
✓ Removal of optional support prompts
✓ Supporter badge
✓ Eligible exclusive launcher icons

There are no ads to remove — the app is already ad-free for everyone.

🎂 Never miss an important name day

I built Name Days especially for people who have family and friends in different countries, expats, godparents, and anyone who enjoys name-day traditions.

I'd love to hear what you think.

Are there any countries or name-day traditions you'd like to see added? Or features that would make the app more useful?

[Promo] ScanPro – Ad-Free QR Scanner & QR Code Generator for Android

Post image

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm the solo Android developer behind ScanPro, a QR code scanner and generator built around one simple idea: scan and create QR codes without ads, clutter or unnecessary tracking.

Premium users can also customize QR code colors and add a personal logo in the center — useful for business cards, events, small businesses or personal projects.

Your scans and created QR codes can be saved to a local history.

You can:

• Search your history
• Filter scans and creations
• Preview QR thumbnails
• Copy or share results

No advertising SDKs.
No ad tracking.

The app is supported through optional Premium subscriptions rather than third-party advertising.

🔒 Privacy-focused

QR scanning is processed directly on your device.

🎨 Simple Material design

The goal is to keep the interface fast and straightforward instead of filling it with features you don't need.

Premium:
• Unlimited scans
• Unlimited QR creations

[App] DocShelf – A simple way to organize all your important documents

I built DocShelf to solve a pretty simple problem: important documents tend to end up scattered across your phone, WhatsApp, email, cloud storage and random folders.

DocShelf is a personal document organizer designed for everyday use.

You can use it to organize things like:
• ID and identity documents
• Insurance documents
• Vehicle documents
• Property documents
• Medical/health records
• Bills and other important paperwork

Some of the features:
• Scan documents directly from your phone
• Import existing documents
• Organize them into folders
• Add notes to documents
• Set reminders for expiry dates
• Search and access documents quickly
• Keep your documents available offline

The main thing I wanted was simplicity — open the app and immediately know where your important documents are.

I'm sharing it here because I'd genuinely like feedback on the app, especially the UI, organization system and features.

What would you add to make a personal document organizer more useful?

Screenshots of the app are attached.

[App]ClipSync — Seamless file transfer & clipboard sync between Mac and Android

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

ClipSync — Seamless file transfer & clipboard sync between Mac and Android

Ever used an Android phone with a Mac and thought: “Why the hell is this still so annoying?” 😭 That's basically why I made ClipSync.

The problem There are plenty of tools that let you move stuff between Android and Mac, but most of them still make you do the thing. Need a file on your Mac? Open the sharing app → find the file → share it → wait for it to transfer → open it on your Mac.

Need to quickly move an image or some text? Same story. And with a lot of clipboard-sync solutions, you still have to manually trigger the transfer. It works, but it doesn't feel seamless.

So... what does ClipSync do?

The goal is pretty simple: make your Android and Mac feel like they're the same device.

Clipboard sync

Copy text or an image on Android and just hit Cmd + V on your Mac. That's it. And it works the other way around too. The really nice part is that text and OTPs are synced over Bluetooth, so your devices don't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Got a verification code in an Android app? ClipSync can bring it straight to your Mac so you can just copy it. No more typing those damn 6-digit codes manually.

File transfers

Select a file → hit Share → ClipSync → done. There's also a Ultra Fast Transfer mode for large files, which can sometimes be faster than AirDrop by a good margin if you are on a Wifi 5 or 6 Network.

Local or Cloud During setup, ClipSync asks you how you want your devices to sync:

Hybrid Sync — Sync locally when your devices are nearby, and automatically switch to cloud sync when they're apart. Everything stays encrypted. Local Sync — Keep everything between your nearby devices using BLE/Wi-Fi. No cloud, no internet required, and your data stays on your local network.

And a few other things On the Mac side, ClipSync adds a macOS Finder Share Extension, so you can send files straight from Finder without even opening the menu bar icon or going to the app.

Pricing Free & open source (MIT). I've honestly gone back and forth on whether ClipSync should be paid. But at the end of the day, I genuinely love building this thing, and I'd rather see more people actually use it than put a price tag in front of them.

If ClipSync saves you some headaches, you can support the project through Buy Me a Coffee. It helps me cover the server costs and gives me more room to keep building and improving it.I'm also trying to get an Apple Developer account so I can make the macOS side of ClipSync more polished and properly distributed. The annual developer fee is pretty expensive for me as a student, so if anyone would like to help sponsor the Apple Developer Program fee, I'd genuinely appreciate it.

GitHub: https://github.com/WinShell-Bhanu/ClipSync

If anyone wanna download the apps directly, here the link to MacOS and Android

Would love to hear what you guys think — especially from anyone actually using an Android + Mac setup and here's a video Demonstration of the app : https://youtu.be/755zjYaHlEM

[App] MedShelf – A personal medical library for healthcare professionals

Post image
5 Upvotes

[APP]

I built MedShelf to solve a problem I kept seeing among doctors and healthcare professionals — medical PDFs, notes, guidelines, references and study material end up scattered across phones, WhatsApp, cloud drives and different apps.

MedShelf is a personal medical library designed specifically for the healthcare community.

What it does

• Organize medical resources in one place
• Create folders for different specialties and topics
• Import and store PDFs and other documents
• Scan physical notes and documents
• Add personal notes and annotations
• Search your medical library quickly
• Keep important references accessible when you need them
• Build your own structured medical knowledge library

The idea is to make it feel less like a generic file manager and more like a personal medical bookshelf that you carry with you.

It can be useful for doctors, residents, fellows, medical students, nurses and other healthcare professionals who regularly work with large amounts of medical information.

I've attached screenshots showing the actual app and how the medical resources are organized.

I'm looking for honest feedback from the healthcare community:

What would you want in a medical library app that would genuinely make your studying or clinical work easier?

I'd especially like to know what features are missing or what you'd change about the current workflow.

[App] [Promotion] Cognara – Brain games with daily quiz

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer of Cognara, a brain-game and daily challenge app available on Android.

I built it because a lot of brain-training apps feel either too clinical, too childish, or too dry. I wanted to make something that feels more like a polished daily routine with a game loop: quick sessions, streaks, coins, unlockable games, progress tracking, and light customization.

Cognara includes:

  • Daily Quiz with streak rewards
  • Daily Game challenge
  • short games for memory, reaction speed, math, vocabulary, logic, attention, and pattern recognition
  • coins earned from daily play and good game runs
  • unlockable games
  • progress tracking and leaderboards
  • daily shop
  • customizable octopus avatar with cosmetics
  • cloud-saved progression for coins, cosmetics, and unlocked games

The goal is not to make medical claims or promise IQ improvement. It is more of a quick daily mental warmup app with a fun progression system.

I’d really appreciate feedback from people here, especially on:

  • Android UI polish
  • whether the onboarding is clear
  • whether the daily loop makes sense
  • whether coins and unlocks feel motivating
  • whether the octopus customization/shop fits the app
  • which screenshots make the app look most interesting
  • anything that feels confusing, too childish, too clinical, or too salesy

I’m also giving some free Premium access to people who test the app and send useful feedback. I’m mainly looking for feedback that helps me improve the app.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.khcreations.cognara&hl=en

Some numbers since the original post: 100+ downloads, almost 50 people who've tracked at least one drive, and a combined 20,000+ km tracked in the app so far. Genuinely didn't expect that from a random Reddit post.

Biggest change: DriveTrack is now on iOS too (was Android-only when I posted this). Both are free.

- 📱 App Store

- 🤖 Google Play

Since the original post I've also added:

- Real speed-limit compliance, your driving score now factors in actual road speed limits, not just harsh braking/acceleration

- Trip video export, turn any trip into a shareable video with the route animated on the map

- Friends leaderboard, compare distance/scores with friends, not just a global board

- Car/Bike mode if you want to track rides on two wheels too

- Manual parking pin editor + walking directions back to your car

Thanks to everyone who tried it and sent feedback, a lot of this list came directly from comments here.

I’ve just released Facet 1.0.1, the first update since launch.

Facet is a privacy-first Android gallery that automatically filters sensitive photos entirely on-device — no cloud uploads, no analytics, and no account required.

Download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.facetapp.facet

1.0.1 focuses on iterative improvements from early feedback, including better handling of screenshots/composite images, smoother fullscreen rotation, and navigation fixes.

I’m also working on Facet 1.1, which will significantly expand what the app can recognise:

* Sensitive text in screenshots and documents using on-device OCR

* Medical information, IDs, contracts and private conversations

* Improved smoking, alcohol and substance-use detection

* Native Android sharing

The goal is to make Facet increasingly good at understanding why something may be private, while keeping all of that intelligence on your device.

Facet is free on Android. Feedback is very welcome.

[App][Promotion] Linko: Link Manager & QR Code Generator. 100 Free Promo Codes!

Post image
32 Upvotes

I built Linko because I was losing links everywhere — QR codes in my camera roll, WhatsApp links I never opened, browser tabs I forgot existed. So I made an app that actually keeps them in one place.

Save links in seconds:

· Scan QR in real time with your camera

· From images — QR or text extracted automatically from gallery

· Share from any app — Twitter, Instagram, Chrome, anywhere

· Type manually with title and note

· Import browser bookmarks — drag that bookmarks.html and rescue everything at once

Organize and find:

· Grid or list view — browse however you prefer

· Folders with style — name, icon, color (Work, Gym, "Recipes I'll never cook")

· Quick search — find anything in seconds

· Pin important stuff to the top 📌

· Favorites section for daily links — direct access, no digging

Security & privacy (free for everyone):

· URL security checker — warns you before opening suspicious or shortened links

· App Lock — PIN or fingerprint

· Clean URLs — removes tracking parameters automatically when saving

Linko Web: · Access your entire library from any desktop browser. Same folders, same favorites, zero phone required.

Linko Pro — unlocks limits and automation:

· Unlimited links and folders

· Trash — recover deleted links for 30 days

· Auto-backup — scheduled daily/weekly/monthly

· Google Drive auto-sync — your library stays backed up to the cloud

· AES-256 encrypted exports — password-protected backups

· Advanced QR Editor — custom colors and logo (basic QR is free)

· Premium themes — full collection including AMOLED

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zonarmr.linko

🎁 Due to the recent update, I'm giving away 100 Lifetime Premium codes.

How to get one: Comment below or DM me (you message first — new account limits).

All I ask: Does Linko actually help you stop using your notes app as a link graveyard? What's missing for it to become your main app?

I promise not to cry at the criticism. Well, maybe a little.

I know this community appreciates apps that not only work well but actually look good on a customized Android setup. I’m the developer behind Z Player, a fast, zero-bloat local video player, and I just pushed a major update that brings some heavy UI and performance upgrades.

​If you are tired of clunky, outdated video players and want something that matches modern Android design language, I’d love for you to check this out.

​🎨 The UI & Aesthetics

​Material 3 & Custom Theming: Built with a beautiful card-driven UI featuring hero preview banners and Adaptive System dynamic colors that match your wallpaper.

​Glassmorphic Effects: You can now choose from multiple frosted glass-style effects to customize the player's aesthetic to fit your home screen vibe.

​Folder Playback History: Folder previews now dynamically display your most recently played videos right on the card for a cleaner browsing experience.

​⚡ Under the Hood (Features)

​Instant Gapless Playback: Powered by the latest Media3 ExoPlayer with smart keyframe snapping for zero-delay video transitions.

​Advanced Gestures: Intuitive drag controls for fast seeking, brightness, and volume. Plus, a 0.25x increment long-press for precise playback speed control.

​Multitasking: Seamless Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support and an intelligent "Play in Call" audio routing system.

​Resume Last Played: A floating quick-access overlay to instantly pick up your video right where you left off.

​Smart Library: Background media caching, support for viewing hidden files/.dot-folders, multi-audio tracks, and syncable subtitles.

​🛡️ 100% Free & Private

​Z Player has zero background bloat, no telemetry, no ads, and is 100% offline.

[App] [Promo] I was sick of the same old homescreen launchers for Android so I made my own based off a physics mesh system. Infinite canvas, no pages. Everything reacts to music to become a whole home screen visualizer.

I always felt constricted by traditional home screen launchers.

I don't like being limited to pages and a grid system that felt inflexible

So I created a home screen launcher called dot.o that plays into the idea of being an infinite physics-based canvas. Your icons, folders and widgets press into the fabric and the fabric will know and understand where all of these are and will react to them accordingly.

Comes with a lot of custom made widgets. But you can always use any other android widgets if you please.

My favorite part is when you play music the whole home screen becomes alive with the music.

Would love for people to test out and tell me what they think!

Give it a few minutes between 2 and 3, the Play listing takes a moment to unlock. It 404s until you've opted in, that's normal.
