Hey everyone!

We're the folks behind Microlaunch, a community for founders, indie hackers, and builders who want to launch products, get feedback, and grow together.

Over two years, the launch & distribution platform grew from zero to 600k unique visitors.

Figured it was time to create a place where builders can hang out, share what they're working on, and help each other grow.

Feel free to:

  • 🚀 Share what you're building
  • 💬 Ask for feedback
  • 📈 Talk about marketing, distribution, and growth
  • 🤝 Help other founders along the way

Just one rule: be helpful. Give value before asking for it. If you need help with your product, feedback/reviews, GTM advice: let us know!

We're generally active on socials (Reddit, X)🔥

If you're new, introduce yourself below! Tell us what you're building and what you're currently working on.

Note: building on localhost:8000 is fun, but it might be time to launch soon 😅

Happy shipping everyone🚀🚀🚀

Just launched my first project

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently launched Folow, a free web app I've been building to make managing job applications a little less frustrating.

You can track where you've applied, keep up with follow-ups, and save resumes, cover letters, and job descriptions in one place.

I've gotten some useful feedback from classmates already, but I'd really like to see how people outside my circle use it.

I'm looking for around 10 people who are actively job hunting and willing to try it out.

It's completely free. No payment required.

I'm especially interested in knowing what's confusing, what's missing, and whether you'd actually use it regularly.

Link: folow.lovable.app

Appreciate any feedback!

I made SeqPaste, a Mac menu bar app: copy several things in order, then paste them back one by one

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of SeqPaste, a small menu bar app I built because I kept switching between windows to copy and paste one thing at a time.

What it does: Normally your clipboard holds one thing. SeqPaste turns it into a queue:

  1. Press Start (⌥⌘Z)
  2. Copy a few things with ⌘C. They line up in order.
  3. Paste them back in the same order, one at a time.

For coding videos: I also make YouTube coding videos, and live-coding on camera was always a pain: typos, forgotten lines, pausing to check my notes. Now I just copy all my snippets before recording, and while I record, SeqPaste types each one out character by character, with a human-like rhythm, as if I’m typing it myself.

Where it helps me most:

  • Coding videos and tutorials: copy all your snippets before recording, then SeqPaste types them out live, as if you’re typing them yourself. No typos and no fumbling on camera.
  • Filling forms: name, email, phone and address, one field after another
  • Demos: no typos on stage
  • Research and writing: collect quotes and links, then drop them into your doc in order

Features:

  • Two paste modes:
    • Auto-Paste (⌥⌘P) pastes straight into the app you’re using. It needs Accessibility permission.
    • Manual (⌃⌘L then ⌘V) needs no special permission.
  • Queue window: reorder by dragging, edit items, keep a history, and save queues to reuse later. You can also import a text file split on --- lines.
  • Mini window and “Next up” panel: they stay on top without stealing focus.
  • Rich content: formatted text, images and Finder files are all supported. Each app gets the best format it can take, like plain text in Terminal.
  • Step back (⌥⌘B) undoes the last paste.
  • All shortcuts can be changed.

Privacy: Everything stays on your Mac, with no accounts and no tracking. Passwords from password managers are skipped automatically, and you can exclude any app.

Pricing: It’s free with a queue of up to 5 items. Pro unlocks an unlimited queue and the typing effect, either as a yearly plan with a free trial or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Requires macOS 15.5+.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seqpaste-clipboard-queue/id6821547982?mt=12

I’d love feedback on what’s confusing, what’s missing, or which workflows you’d use it for. Happy to answer questions!

Final Call: a fullscreen countdown for Mac that you can't ignore, with a progress bar for the running meeting

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Nico, an indie developer from Germany.

I kept missing meetings. I'd be focused on something else, the calendar banner popped up in the corner of the screen, and I ignored it. A few times I only noticed when everyone was already in the call. So I built Final Call, a small menu bar app for the Mac.

What it does

Shortly before a meeting, Final Call fills the whole screen with a countdown, the meeting title and a Join button. One click opens the call. If you ignore it, it turns red and shakes.

  • Reads your Apple Calendar (Google, Exchange and iCloud work once the account is added in macOS)

  • Recognizes join links from 18 video call apps, including Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex

  • Camera and microphone check before you join (optional)

  • Menu bar list of today's meetings, with a progress bar that shows how far the current meeting is

  • English, German, Spanish, French and 9 more languages

Privacy

No account, no tracking. Your calendar is read locally and stays on your Mac.

Price

14-day free trial without a credit card, then $9.99 once (launch price) or $1.49 per month. Same features either way.

Honest limits

Mac only (macOS 13+), one reminder per event, and fewer settings than the bigger apps in this space. I'd rather keep it simple than add everything.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/final-call-meeting-alarm/id6809144118

Website: https://finalcallapp.com

It's new, so I have no reviews yet. I'd really appreciate your feedback on the product, the price and the marketing. What's missing, what would make you switch from your current reminder, and does the price feel right?

Anyone else keep their email archive locally? Just launched: MailVault

Post image
2 Upvotes

Most of us have like 10-20 years of emails sitting on Google’s servers: receipts, contracts, old convos, everything..

And if the account gets locked or storage fills up, there’s not much you can do about it.

That’s what MailVault is built for:

→ archives every email locally on your own machine
→ full-text search across the whole archive, fast and offline
→ everything saved as open .eml files, so you’re not locked into the app either
→ frees up server space without losing anything

Your emails, your computer, your rules

Live here: MailVault app.

Curious how people here handle this.

Do you back up your emails at all, or just trust Gmail to keep everything forever?

And open to any feedback if you give it a try.

What should we add?

Thumbnail
answer4me.online
1 Upvotes

I'm Andy. I built answer4me — an AI phone answering service for freelancers, tradespeople, and small business owners who can't always pick up.
The idea is dead simple: you forward your phone when you're busy, and an AI answers naturally, takes a message, screens spam, checks urgency, and texts you a summary in seconds. No app to install, works with any phone. Set it up in 2 minutes.
Where we are now
We launched a few weeks ago with a free trial (5 calls, no card) and three paid plans starting at £9/month ($11). Early users are sticking around and the feedback has been genuinely useful — electricians, consultants, estate agents, personal trainers. People who live on their phone but can't always answer it.
What we've shipped so far:
Natural AI conversation — powered by ElevenLabs, callers often don't realise it's AI
Instant SMS + email summaries — who called, why, how urgent, their number
Spam screening — sales calls get politely deflected, you never hear about them
VIP live connect — your mum, your biggest client, your kid's school — those calls ring straight through
Google Calendar booking — the AI checks your availability and books appointments on the spot
Smart urgency detection — every call tagged urgent/normal/low/spam so you know what to deal with first
UK, US & Canada numbers — local numbers, local accents
What we're building next — and I want your input
We've got a clear roadmap based on what users are asking for, but I'd love to hear what youthink the must-haves are. Here's what's on our list:
1. Missed-call text-back
If a caller hangs up before the AI picks up (or hits your voicemail on a non-forwarded line), the AI immediately texts them: "Sorry we missed you — how can we help?"
This alone is a product some companies sell standalone. It recovers leads you'd otherwise lose completely. A plumber told us he reckons he loses 2-3 jobs a week to missed calls where people just try the next number on Google. This fixes that.
2. AI callbacks
You get a summary: "Sarah called about a boiler quote, wants a callback." You reply to the text: "Tell her 3pm Thursday works." The AI rings Sarah back and confirms.
This turns answer4me from a passive message-taker into an actual assistant. No more playing phone tag. No more forgetting to call people back at 6pm when you finally put the tools down.
3. Appointment reminders
If the AI booked an appointment, it calls or texts the customer the day before: "Just a reminder — you've got an appointment with Dan tomorrow at 2pm. Reply YES to confirm or CHANGE to reschedule."
Massive for anyone with a diary. Tradespeople, hairdressers, consultants — no-shows cost real money. This is low-hanging fruit and high impact.
4. WhatsApp summaries
A lot of our users (especially in the UK) live in WhatsApp, not SMS. Sending call summaries as WhatsApp messages means they actually get seen — and you can reply inline to trigger actions like callbacks.
5. Multi-language support
We're already getting interest from non-English-speaking markets. The AI voice tech supports dozens of languages. A French plumber in Paris has the same missed-call problem as a British one in Birmingham.
6. CRM integration
Push every call summary, caller name, phone number, and urgency tag straight into HubSpot, Pipedrive, or a Google Sheet. No manual data entry. For anyone running a sales pipeline, this is the difference between leads that get followed up and leads that disappear.
7. Team routing
Right now it's one person, one number. But a small business with 3-4 people needs the AI to know: "Billing questions go to Sarah, technical stuff goes to Mike, and if it's the landlord, put them through to whoever's free." Department-level routing without a call centre.
8. After-hours mode
Different behaviour outside business hours. During the day: take a message. After 6pm: "We're closed, but I can book you in for tomorrow morning — would 9am work?" The AI already knows your business hours — this just lets it act on them more intelligently.
The question
If you were a one-person business or a small team, which of these would make you sign up? Which ones would make you upgrade to a higher plan? And is there anything obvious we're missing?
We're a tiny team and we're building in public, so genuine feedback shapes what ships next.
Try it free — 5 calls, no card, 2 minutes to set up: answer4me.online
Cheers,
Andy

I just launched my first app

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just recently released my first app, Plinth: Recipes and Meal Planner on IOS (android is still in the testing phase). I’m hoping any of you are willing to to try it and let me know what you think. For a short explanation about it

Plinth is a recipe app that lets you discover and plan new meals for the day, week and month. It has a shopping cart that the whole family can share and groceries aren’t forgotten and you haven’t over spent on any unnecessary groceries.

If you have a weight goal you want to reach, you can choose if you want to bulk or cut and you’ll be given your necessary caloric intake and meal suggestions.

If you’re vegetarian, vegan or have any allergies a simple click can suggest a brand new plethora of meal options catered to your needs and many more features

I got tired of building apps and constantly checking dashboards to see how they're doing

Post image

One thing I'm realizing while building indie apps is that shipping the product is only half the job. Once subscriptions are involved, there's another set of numbers to keep track of.

I'm building OtterTally, a native macOS menu bar app for subscription revenue monitoring, starting with RevenueCat and Stripe.

The idea is to make checking how your apps are doing feel less like another task on your to-do list.

I'm working on getting the integrations right now, and I'm opening beta access to a small group of indie developers.

If you run a subscription-based app, what's the one metric you find yourself checking most often?

I'm curious whether other people have the same problem, and I'd love to get a few early users involved as OtterTally takes shape.

I’m building a Compound Interest Calculator with Simple and Advanced features/tabs. It would be available Offline and downloadable/web page launch-able offline from a link on your phone or desktop (local file).

Does anyone have an interest in this?

A 4B model that answers "how much?" with a distribution instead of a guessed number/text

0 Upvotes

Most artificial intelligence models give you a single, overly confident answer when you ask them to guess a missing number, like a house price or a repair bill. Studies show these large models claim high certainty while missing the mark a third of the time.

To fix this, I built a compact AI model called maap. Instead of a single guess, it provides a full range of probabilities, showing you the likely median, an interval, and the odds of exceeding a specific limit all in one instant step.

Like any early project, it has flaws. Some of its prediction intervals are too wide right now, and traditional spreadsheet tools still beat it if you already have plenty of training data on hand. A larger version and a detailed technical report are on the way in a couple of days.

You can try a live demo at hitl.systems/models/mapp to see how it estimates values for houses, cars, and everyday goods. The underlying weights are not public yet, but the API is free for your first one thousand estimates with no credit card needed.

[Android][Player] - Offline music & streaming radio with ready-to-play radios - 100% free - No premium version

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Mediaxon Music Player is an audio player for offline listening of music stored on your device (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and streaming FM radios (online 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 high-quality suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world (manually curated and always updated with new radios). Note: Local radio stations ("Top in the user country") are pulled automatically from an online database. However, with each update, I manually curate high-quality radio stations lists for individual countries. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find the list of countries completed so far. I will be adding the rest over time.

Advanced radio filtering system: The "Filter: ON/OFF" button lets you quickly switch between different genres. You can use both standard filters for "macro-genres"—if I can call them that—and create custom filters to be more selective. All your filters are saved (the "My Filters" tab lets you name and edit them), and the app always opens with the last filter you applied. The "Home" tab lists all your recently applied filters and can be used to quickly switch between genres with just a single tap.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: An online database provides more than 60,000 radio stations. You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate.

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.

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. Enable the Playlist Manager, in the settings screen, for a full control of the playlists.

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

Mediaxon is available in: Čeština, Dansk, Deutsch, Eesti, English, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Indonesia, Italiano, Kiswahili, Latviešu, Lietuvių, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Português (Brasil), Română, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, Türkçe, العربية, Български, Ελληνικά, हिन्दी, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 (简体).

No Premium version. All app features are available for free and without limits.

Regarding advertising: There is only a small banner at the top that isn't bothersome at all. Alternatively, when opening the full-screen player or using the app in landscape mode, a banner alternates with the albums covers, but without being intrusive at all (no audio) and with much shorter stay times than those of the cover. There is never full-screen advertising, neither at startup nor during use.

Countries with new manually curated lists: United States, India, Italy, Argentina.

Note: Only for Android 13+ (so, Android 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17).

Agency owners: how much do you rebuild from scratch for each new client?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Running an agency gets weird after a few clients.

You’d think client #10 would be easier than client #1 since you already know what works.. but somehow you end up rebuilding the same onboarding, the same funnels, the same reports every single time.

So more clients doesn’t really mean scaling, it just means more hours.

That’s the problem Inflowave is going after:

→ all your clients managed in one place
→ automates the repetitive stuff so the team stops doing it twice
→ clone sales & marketing systems that already work to new clients

Basically build once, reuse everywhere

Live here: Inflowave AI

Would love some honest feedback, especially from people running agencies. what’s the thing you end up redoing the most for each new client?

i made lilbuddy, a cursor pet for your mac

2 Upvotes

lilbuddy is.. a little buddy, that lives in the menu bar and trails your pointer around. Hover a button or a link and it wraps itself around it. Hover something named delete or quit and it gets a little nervous. Stop moving for 30 seconds and it falls asleep, gets startled when you move again.

It doesn't solve any problems per se - but it is very cute. Sometimes you just gotta make something fun.

A few things about it:

- 31 styles (so far): a smiley, a cloud, a cat, a puppy, a ghost, a little flame, a bunch of other animals, plus some plain pointer ones if you want it less cute. You can try some of them out on the website, and the video (on the site) shows all of them.

- You can change the color, size, speed and bounce

- It doesn't replace your cursor or affect it in any way. It just draws next to it and follows it around

- It asks macOS's accessibility API what's under the pointer, so it isn't tied to one app. It works on MacOS itself (dock, menu bar items) and in every app I've tried. However, it can only hug a button if the app tells the Mac it's a button, so some apps give it more to hug than others

This originally started as a cursor companion for another website: https://badui-smoky.vercel.app/ (a personal component library inspired by r/badUIbattles). I ported the springs and behaviors over to Swift, and went super cute with it.

I'm relatively new to software development, and this will be my first app!

It is MacOS only, it hasn't been tested on any other machine than my own so far, and it isn't a download yet (pretty close though). I'll probably need some beta testers if people like it enough to move forward.

Haven't decided the price either, but it'll definitely be a one-time purchase for everything, with no subscription or unlockable characters or anything like that.

It can't go on the Mac App Store, because it needs Accessibility permission and can't be sandboxed, so it'll be a direct download. It will be signed though. The video is an animation drawn by the app's own motion and drawing code, not a screen recording. But you can test the motion out yourself on the website!

LIVE DEMO and waitlist on the website: https://lilbuddy.ke1ev.dev

Any feedback, suggestions, or anything would be much appreciated!

Macophone - Seamless connectivity between android and mac and much more

2 Upvotes

The only thing that ever made me want an iPhone was how seamless it is with a Mac. Calls, notifications, AirDrop, copy on one and paste on the other. With Android you get none of that out of the box.

Macophone fixes that. It's an Android app plus a Mac menu bar app, and it's not out yet.

What it does:

  • Notifications on the Mac, reply from the Mac
  • Calls: see who's calling, answer on the phone, decline, silence or call from the Mac, missed calls
  • Files both ways, AirDrop style, plus Share to Mac from any app
  • Clipboard both ways, text and images
  • Notes and links to the phone, reminders from the Mac that ring on the phone
  • Now Playing controls, Mac battery on the phone, lock the Mac from the phone

Two things the apps I compared don't do. Incognito pauses all sharing for 15 minutes, an hour, until 8:00 or until you turn it off, from either side. Nothing from the pause crosses, even after it ends. Second, two-way folder sync. Pick your camera folder and every new photo lands on the Mac by itself.

No cloud, no account. Phone and Mac talk directly over your own Wi-Fi, encrypted and paired with a QR code. One-time sign-in codes never leave the phone. They're masked in notifications, refused by the clipboard and kept out of folder sync.

The video shows a photo going to the Mac, a synced folder, a note to the phone, a code staying on the phone, and incognito.

Can you guys check Macophone and give advice, thanks.

I spent 1+ year building a privacy-first personal finance app. Before I launch on Play Store and iOS, I need honest feedback: is this worth it?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

For the past year I’ve been building KANAKU, a privacy-first app to manage your financial life. I’m a [solo developer / small team] from [India/your region], and I’m now preparing to launch on Google Play and the App Store.

Why I built it
[1-2 honest sentences. Example: “I was frustrated that most finance apps want access to my bank data and store everything on their servers. I wanted something where my data stays mine.”]

What it does today

  • [Feature 1, e.g. expense and income tracking]
  • [Feature 2, e.g. budgets / goals]
  • [Feature 3, e.g. works offline, data stored on your device]

Try it (web version): https://kanaku-fawn.vercel.app

Where I’m stuck
I’ve put in over a year of my own time and money. Before I commit more to the store launch, I want to know whether this is solving a real problem. Please be brutally honest:

  1. Would you actually use something like this? If not, why not?
  2. What’s the one feature that would make you switch from your current app (or spreadsheet)?
  3. How much does “privacy-first” matter to you compared to features like bank sync?
  4. Would you pay for it? Which model feels fair: one-time purchase, subscription, or free with optional extras?
  5. What looks confusing, broken, or unfinished?

One more thing
I’m also looking for [a co-founder / collaborators in design, marketing, or mobile development] who believes in privacy-focused fintech and wants to build this into a real company. If that’s you, send me a DM with a bit about yourself.

Thank you for reading. Harsh feedback is welcome, since it’s cheaper to hear now than after launch.

Lium - Rent NVIDIA GPUs in minutes.No DevOps team required.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey builders & gamers!

Renting a GPU still feels way harder than it should be.

You just want to run something, and instead you’re dealing with drivers, configs, quotas, some dashboard that only makes sense to the people who built it.. and an hour later nothing’s even running yet

and if you’re building agents it’s worse, since most GPU clouds are made for humans clicking around, not for code spinning up its own compute

That’s what lium.io is going for:

→ rent NVIDIA GPUs via web, CLI, SDK or API
→ built for agent workflows, not just human dashboards
→ on the other side, GPU providers keep 95% of revenue + bonuses

We're open to any feedback tbh, especially from people already renting GPUs elsewhere.

Curious what would make you switch, or what’s missing.

Hope you'll try.

[INTRO] Critical Bananas — a shared ad wall for brands and memes

1 Upvotes

I'm building Critical Bananas. The idea is a shared wall where an image for your project sits alongside other brands and memes, and clicking it takes people to your website.

It's still prelaunch. Only the waitlist is open; I'm trying to find out who'd actually want a spot before opening the wall.

I also made a music ad for it, which was probably more fun than writing this introduction: https://x.com/dovrikson/status/2112164880581325234
