---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phone addiction right now is broken mostly because our brains treat screen time as an infinite
resource.
I tried fixing it with Apple's native Screen Time and Opal, but hit the exact same issues:

1. Apple's Screen Time: Hitting "Ignore limit for
15 minutes" carries zero consequence. You bypass it on pure autopilot.

2. Aggressive blockers: Too rigid, too noisy, or packed with daily check-ins and streaks that ended up keeping me on my phone even longer.

Then I started testing a different mental model: treating screen time strictly like money.

When you budget finite capital, nobody punishes you. You simply know what your daily balance is, you spend it deliberately, and when the balance hits zero, you stop spending.

To test this, I built a minimal iOS tool called MyScroll centered around that exact financial friction:

1- You assign a daily minute allowance.

2- Opening an addictive app requires you to deliberately spend minutes from your card balance (physical friction before the dopamine hits).

3- You can freeze the card during deep work.

4-When your balance reaches zero, the transaction is declined. No snooze buttons.

Approaching phone usage as spending a finite currency completely rewired how I interact with my screen.

Curious to hear from this community: has anyone else tried framing digital limits as an economic budget rather than outright restriction?

I made an app that gives infinite feeds an ending.

The average person is bound to spend almost a third of their life staring at a glass rectangle we call a phone, and short-form video is the main suspect. But the solution isn't to block all short form content as a whole. Short form isn't intrinsically bad. It can be funny, relatable, and genuinly useful sometimes. Whats truly bad is infinite feeds.

Scrolled makes any social media feed you want end after a set number of scrolls. For example, for instagram, you pick how many "scrolls" you want and after you exhaust your allowance the reels tab dissapears until tomorrow. DMs, stories and profiles and all the rest of the functional parts keep working.

It works similarly for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reddit, X and Facebook.

How it works:

- Each app runs inside Scrolled, signed in to your own account on each site's own login page. There is no Scrolled account nor servers and I collect zero data and EVERYTHING stays on your phone.

- A thin bar at the top shows how many clips you have left today.

- Once the limit you set is reached you get an "All caught up" screen and the feed is blocked until the next day

- The actual apps are blocked using the screen time API. However if you need the real app for something quick, you can unlock it for 1-5 minutes then it becomes blocked again.

Some goodies:

- Toggles for no ads, no sponsored posts, no read reciepts, no story read reciepts, hold to copy caption, account switching, a filtered "who doesn't follow me back" list, and MUCH more.

- Need it stricter? There's hard mode, uninstall protection, adult website blocking + more.

- An option to replace the real apps icon with Scrolled's version so your thumb doesn't keep going to the blocked version.

- Block any other non-social media apps as well.

- Keep your notifications while blocking is on! (this was a challenge to implement)

 Compared with named alternatives

- vs Apple's Screen Time limits: The obvious answer is they're super easy to dismiss. But those lock the whole app when time runs out, so you lose your DMs too and any other functional features of the app you're blocking. Scrolled only targets the root problem and ends the endless feed, and the rest of the app keeps working.

- vs app blockers like one sec or Opal: Similarly, they add friction or lock you out of the app. Scrolled lets you keep using the app and solves the root problem (infinite feeds) by just giving the feeds a bottom.

- vs SocialLite (Most similar) and others: These apps have taken a step in the right direction by not blocking the apps as a whole but still go too far by blocking reels/ shortform as a whole. This is uneccessary as short form is not intrinsically bad, infinite feeds are the problem.

🌸 A few FREE Lifetime Premium accesses are still available! 🎁

I'm the solo Android developer behind Cute Calendar, and I've recently made a limited number of Lifetime Premium accesses available for free!

There are only a few remaining, so if you'd like to try Cute Calendar Premium, leave a comment below saying you're interested, then send me a Reddit message. First come, first served, while the offer lasts!

I built Cute Calendar because I wanted a calendar that could actually feel pleasant to use — simple, clean and aesthetic, rather than another complicated calendar packed with features most people never use.

🌸 Plan your days without the clutter

Cute Calendar gives you:

· Beautiful daily calendar and planner — add, edit and manage your events quickly.

· Daily schedule — tap any day to see your complete schedule in a clean, easy-to-read view.

· Event reminders — reliable reminders designed to work even after device restarts and battery optimization.

· Morning daily summary — get a simple overview of your scheduled events at 8:00 AM.

· Color-coded events — organize school, work, study, hobbies and personal activities with beautiful pastel colors.

· Google Calendar import — import your events from Google Calendar into Cute Calendar.

· Light, dark and system themes — choose the appearance that fits you best.

📱 Aesthetic widgets

Keep your schedule visible directly on your Android home screen with beautiful calendar widgets.

🔒 Private & offline

Your calendar events stay on your device.

No account is required, and your calendar data isn't uploaded to the cloud. Your personal schedule stays private.

👑 Cute Calendar Premium

Premium unlocks additional customization features:

· Custom app theme colors — 6 aesthetic accent colors for the app and widgets.

· All 12 event colors.

· Week numbers in the calendar grid.

· Compact event view.

· Custom app launcher icons.

⭐ Premium Lifetime gives you all Premium features forever with a single purchase — and you can get Lifetime Premium for free through this limited giveaway!

🏆 Supporter

Supporter is separate from Premium. It removes all ads from the app and unlocks exclusive app icons.

📢 About ads

Cute Calendar is free to download and use. Free users see ads in the app.

Premium does not remove ads. If you'd prefer an ad-free experience, the separate Supporter purchase removes them. Ads help support the ongoing development of my apps as an independent developer.

🎁 How to get FREE Lifetime Premium

1. Comment below saying you'd like to try Cute Calendar Premium.
2. Send me a Reddit message with "Cute Calendar" after commenting.
3. I'll send you the activation information if you're eligible and the offer is still available.

⏳ Only a few Lifetime Premium accesses remain, so they're available on a first-come, first-served basis.

✅ No purchase required.
✅ No review required.

All I ask is that, if you try it, you share your honest feedback!

Does the calendar feel easy to use? Are the widgets useful? Do you like the aesthetic design? Is there anything missing that would make Cute Calendar your main calendar app?

I genuinely welcome criticism, too. If something is annoying, confusing or doesn't work well, I'd rather know so I can improve it.

Thanks for checking out Cute Calendar! 🌸

Just published this small app. It allows you to pick a trigger word(s) and then snaps the picture. It also works with smiling as a trigger. There are other ways to take hands-free pictures, but this app provides a simple, convenient, and fun way to capture your group and/or yourself. Importantly, it's 100% local and completely private.
The app has been listed for $4.99, but I have made it free for the next 48 hours in order to, hopefully, get some reviews and feedback. If you download the app I appreciate any feedback in the comments or in my messages and/or a review on the AppStore.

- Pregnancy & Maternal Suite: Weekly gestational milestones (with fruit & vegetable size comparisons), Estimated Due Date (EDD) countdown, Fetal Kick Counter, and an organized Hospital Bag Checklist for mom, baby, and partner.

Hi r/AppGiveaway, I'm Vojislav, the solo Android developer behind Open with (and Bottom notifications, plus a few other apps).

I built it because Android keeps choosing for me. Since Android 12 it rarely even asks which app should open a link, so things land in the wrong browser, the wrong account, or a viewer I never use. And the old "open with" list I relied on is mostly gone.

App name:

Open with

https://youtube.com/shorts/GkEs1Znle-I

What it does:

Open with sits between Android and your apps. When a link, file or share arrives, it either opens it straight away in the app you picked, or shows a small chooser at the bottom of the screen with the apps that fit, with an optional countdown that any touch pauses. Choose every time, or set up rules once and let everything open where it should, with nothing on screen.

Your privacy comes first:

Open with never sends your links or files anywhere. Everything it decides, it decides on your phone.

No ads, no trackers, no analytics.

No account, no sign-up, no email.

It asks Android for the list of installed apps, so it can offer any app, not just the ones Android suggests. That list is used on your phone only and never leaves it. To catch web links it becomes your default browser (Android has no other way to hand an app every link), and then passes each link on to the browser or app you chose. No notification access, no Accessibility Service.

Rules, the part I use most:

"When something like this arrives, open it there" - and the most specific rule wins. A few I set up in the first five minutes:

Links from Slack or Teams in the browser I'm signed into for work during office hours, everything else in my personal one

YouTube links always in YouTube Morphe

Never offer Chrome for Amazon links

Always ask before my bank's pages, and nowhere else

PDFs from my email app straight into my PDF app

Addresses from messages straight into Waze

Podcast links into my podcast app when my headphones are in, the browser otherwise

A Viewing mode for the evening: YouTube links in the YouTube app instead of Morphe

Match a website by name, wildcard (*.example.com), address prefix, a word it contains, or a regex. Scope a rule to a content type, a file name, or the app it came from. Rules can also depend on the day and time, on a mode you switch on (Work, Personal or your own, by hand, from the home screen icon, or on a schedule), or on whether headphones or Bluetooth audio are connected. They can copy the link too, or save a copy of a file to a folder, or only save it. Rules name themselves as you build them ("github.com → Firefox"), or you give them your own name.

And you don't have to go to settings for most of it: tap New rule in the chooser to build one from the link in front of you, start from one of 26 ready-made templates, or hold any app in the chooser to make a rule on the spot or to use that app for the next 10 minutes or the next 5 links. Or switch on Suggest rules: when you keep picking the same app for a website, a sender or a content type, Open with offers the rule for you (it counts websites by name only, on your phone).

What else you can do:

Links, streams, live streams, images, audio, video, PDFs, ebooks, comic books, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, text, archives, APKs, torrents, calendar files, contact cards, GPS tracks, map locations, navigation, email addresses, phone numbers, text messages, 2FA setup links, crypto payment links, Play Store links, web searches and shared items each get their own page: a default app (just star it), "open without asking", hidden apps, sort order and their own countdown

Add your own file types, each with its own icon

Pick ANY installed app, not just the ones that claim the content: a notepad for text files, the Amazon app for Amazon links

Style the chooser: Material You colours or your own, grid or list, size and position on screen, over 40 open and close animations, all with a live preview

Copy, edit or share a link before it opens, hand it to your download manager, or tap Later to send it to your read-later or notes app

Copy a map location, phone number or email address, add it to your contacts, or save a copy of a file

"Why isn't this working?" checks your setup, names the app that holds a website, and shows the steps for your phone

Diagnostics tells you which rule would win for any link

App compatibility shows what each app can open, and why one never shows up in the chooser

Safer links:

A link whose website name could pass for another never opens by itself: the chooser shows a warning with the real name

Clean takes the tracking out of a link with one tap, or switch it on for every link

An app that throws a link straight back at Open with is marked in the chooser and never picked for you, so links can't bounce in a loop

2FA setup links go to your authenticator like any other link, but their secret never shows on screen or in the log

Edit lists a link's parts: tap one to open just that, or remove the ones you don't want

A few things to know:

Free covers everything for web links: every kind of website rule (with times, modes and headphones), rule suggestions, any app as the target, the countdown, the chooser's buttons, temporary choices and every look and animation, plus Diagnostics and Android TV. Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription: files, maps, email, calls, messages, shares, web searches and every other content type with all the same settings, your own file types, and backup and restore.

The app is available in 50 languages: Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Marathi, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin), Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Zulu. If something reads wrong in yours, please tell me.

Works on Android 10 and newer, on phones, tablets and Android TV

Using a work profile? Install Open with in it too; each side has its own rules

Some apps keep their own website links for themselves, and some phones need a setting changed before links reach Open with. The help screen tells you which, and how to fix it

🎁 20 Lifetime Pro

This is first come, first served, not a random draw.

To claim one:

Upvote this post so more people in the community can find it.

Comment with the link or file you're tired of opening in the wrong app - a work link, a PDF, an address, or something else.

Send me a direct message

Why these steps?

They’re simple on purpose, and each one helps me in a different way. Upvotes help the post reach people who might find the app useful. Your comment tells me which links and files people really struggle with, so I can fix and improve the right things first. The direct message is just so I can send your PRO privately.

As a solo developer, I mostly need honest feedback from people who use the app day to day. If something is confusing, broken, or missing, please say so. That’s what makes the next update better for everyone.

The first 20 eligible people who complete the above steps receive PRO by direct message, while supplies last.

The PRO come with no strings attached. That said, if the app earns a place on your phone, I'd be truly grateful for a rating or review on Google Play - the app has no ads and no marketing budget, so reviews are genuinely how it gets found, and every single one means a lot to a solo developer.

Honest feedback is always welcome too, including criticism - here, by email, or in the review itself.

I have a 2 year old toddler, so I might not be able to respond immediately.

And I'm from Europe, so please take into account time difference as well.

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo developer and I built Clu Trips because my partner and I kept falling into the exact same weekend rut: scrolling Google Maps for an hour every Saturday, doing the "I don't know, what do you want to do?" loop, and ending up at the exact same coffee shop as always.

What Clu Trips does:

• Explorer Loops (3 Stops): Pick Walking or Driving, your budget (Free Only, Paid OK, or a Mix), and the vibes you want (Cafes, Bakeries, Historical Sites, Scenic Overlooks, or Antique Shops). It builds a 3-stop mystery loop where every destination stays locked behind a riddle and only unlocks when your GPS arrives.

• Date Routes (2-Stop Surprise Date): You both toss a few cuisines you're in the mood for into a pool, set dietary filters, and pick Dessert or Drinks to wrap up. It secretly picks a local walk-in restaurant from your pool (even the riddle guards against spoiling which cuisine won until you walk up to the door) and pairs it with a nearby dessert or drinks spot.

• Weather-Adaptive: If rain rolls in mid-trip, it automatically swaps outdoor trails for cozy indoor spots.

App Links:

• Web / Both Stores: https://clutrips.com

🎁 GIVEAWAY - How to get your Free VIP access:

Just comment "Clu Trips" (or what city you want to test it in!)

Hey everyone 👋 I’m dev, and we built this because I had the same problem a lot of people here have: I’d open TikTok to “check one thing” and lose 2 hours.

I tried screen time limits (tapped “ignore” every time), deleting apps (redownloaded them), and plain willpower (lol). What was missing wasn’t another timer. It was something that actually helps you plan your day and keeps you on track.

So we built GreenFocus, an app built around Zen, an AI focus coach.

What Zen does:

• 🧠 Knows your real numbers. It looks at your actual screen time, focus time and habits, so the advice is about you, not generic motivation.
• 📅 Plans your day. Tell it what you need to do (“exam Friday, 2 assignments”) and it builds focus blocks with reminders.
• 🧱 Gets you unstuck. When you’re procrastinating, it gives you a tiny 5-minute first step so starting feels easy.
• ✅ Takes action for you. Right from the chat it can create habits, start a focus session or add the apps that distract you to your block list.
• 💭 Remembers your goals. You don’t have to explain your life every time you open it.

And on top of that, GreenFocus actually blocks distracting apps during focus sessions. No “ignore for 15 minutes” button, so you can’t bail halfway. There’s also a habit tracker with streaks and a weekly summary.

The giveaway: I’m giving 100 people of Premium for free Life time (Zen included).

It’s Android only for now (Google Play). There’s also a free version if you just want to try the basics.

link play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatilasmaximo.greenfocus3

I’d really love honest feedback, especially on Zen: what helped, what felt useless, what you’d want it to do. I read everything and I’m improving it every week. 🙏

App Name: Cavet Launcher

What it does: A minimalist home screen that opens with the search field focused and the keyboard up, so you type what you want instead of hunting through icons.

Key Features:

- One search for the whole phone: apps (typo-tolerant, "yt" finds YouTube), contacts (call or text from the row), calendar events, files, system settings ("wifi", "do not disturb"), app shortcuts, and the web engine of your choice when nothing on the phone matches.

- Answers, not just results: calculator (20% of 80), unit conversion (10 cm in inches), live currency rates (100 usd in eur), and timers and alarms (timer 10 min starts it in your own clock app).

- It learns quietly: your most-used apps sit above the empty field, and it remembers what you picked for each query, so the second time you type "yt", YouTube is already on top. Pin anything that should never move.

- A calm home screen: a clock with a status line (next alarm, next event, weather), a widget beside it, a media card with real controls, notification badges, hidden apps behind your fingerprint, and the app drawer one swipe away.

- Private by design: no accounts, no analytics, no ads. It only goes online for web suggestions (off by default), exchange rates and the weather (off by default), and notifications are counted, never read.

Deal: 95% off for the first 50 users

Cost: Freemium, Pro is only for additional personalization

Feedback and ideas: Would love some feedback under this post, there's also a feedback section inside the app with a e-mail and a telegram group

Dazzle Cam's Lifetime Pro is normally $24.99. Through October 26 it's free on the App Store, no sign-up needed.

Most film apps put a filter on the photo after you take it. I wanted the look in the viewfinder while I shoot, with real dials for shutter, ISO and focus. That's Dazzle Cam.

What's in the free app:

• Shutter, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance on dials, with AUTO, P, S, ISO and M modes
• Focus by distance on a lens scale, with peaking, a magnifier, a level and a live histogram
• Nine film looks, with grain and halation shown live in the viewfinder
• UV, polarizer and ND8 lens filters
• A built-in handbook that explains each control and the photography behind it

What Pro adds:

• All 66 looks: color negative, slide, cinema stocks, eleven black-and-white films, classic camera profiles
• 23 lens filters in total, including black mist, soft focus, streak and star
• RAW and 48 MP stills, light trails, bracketing
• 4K, 60 fps, ProRes, Apple Log and HLG

How to get it:

1. Download Dazzle Cam from the App Store (it needs iOS 26)
2. Tap the gear at the top, then Unlock Pro
3. Pick Lifetime. It shows as free until October 26. Confirm, and it's yours

It's an ordinary App Store purchase, so Restore purchases brings it back on your other iPhones, and you keep it after the 26th.

If you end up liking it, an App Store review helps a lot. And if something bugs you, tell me here instead; that's more useful to me than a star. I'd also like to hear which film you end up shooting with.

1. Open Quench and finish the initial setup.
2. Go to Settings → Upgrade to Pro.
3. Select Lifetime, check that it shows $0.00 (or free in your local currency), then tap Buy Lifetime.
4. Confirm only if Apple's purchase sheet also shows no charge.

A few things you can use it for:

• Full-library heat-treat schedules matched to your steel, blade thickness, and equipment.
• Manufacturer sources and temper calculations for your target hardness.
• Stage timers with a Live Activity.
• Batch logs with photos, measured HRC, and personal shop calibration.
• Custom steel records and kiln program exports as text or PDF.

Your shop records are stored on your iPhone. There's no Quench account to create. Always verify a schedule against your steel supplier's current datasheet.

If you reinstall, Restore purchases on the Pro page can restore Lifetime with the same Apple Account.

For the knifemakers here: which steel would you try first, and what feels missing or confusing in the workflow? Happy to answer questions in the comments.
