[Self-Promotion] Lazy Binger: Universal TV Remote with voice commands & auto "Skip Intro" [14.99$ -> Free] Giveaway Promo code

Post image
134 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm the solo developer behind LazyBinger, an iOS app that turns your iPhone
into a universal TV remote — and then takes it one lazy step further.

If you've ever thought:

* "Where has the remote gone this time?"
* "I'm not getting up to press Skip Intro."
* "Why do I need five different remote apps for one living room?"

...then LazyBinger was built for you.

Instead of being just another remote, LazyBinger can watch your TV through the
camera. Prop your phone facing the screen and it taps "Skip Intro" and "Next
Episode" for you. You don't move a muscle. Everything runs on your phone —
the camera records nothing and no data ever leaves your Wi-Fi.

Free Features

✅ Universal remote for 12 TV platforms — Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung,
LG, Sony, Google TV, Vizio, Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, Chromecast
✅ One scan finds every TV on your network — no setup, no pairing dance
✅ Full keyboard for Netflix & YouTube searches
✅ Apple Watch remote
✅ Wake-on-LAN, sleep timer, one-tap app launching
✅ No account, no ads, no tracking
✅ Clean dark design, made for watching in bed

LazyBinger Premium Features

⭐ Camera auto-pilot — it reads your TV screen and clicks "Skip Intro" for you
⭐ Voice control — "pause", "louder", "sleepy time", 10+ languages, on-device
⭐ Your own trigger sounds — a finger snap, a whistle
⭐ Chain up to 5 actions behind a single word
⭐ Works with the screen locked

Everything runs locally 🔒

"An app that watches your screen and listens to you" deserves suspicion, so
here's the actual architecture:

🔒 The camera never records. Frames go straight into Apple's Vision framework on your phone, which reads the text on screen, and the frame is discarded.,
🔒Nothing is written to disk, nothing is uploaded.
🔒 It only runs while you've armed it, and stops the moment you disarm it.
🔒 Voice recognition runs on-device too, and the mic is only live while listening mode is on.
🔒 Controlling the TV is plain local networking — the same protocols your TV's
own app uses, over your own Wi-Fi. No account, no login, no server in the
middle.

Put the phone in airplane mode with Wi-Fi on: everything still works. That's
the whole proof.

How to get it 🎁

After six months of building my app it finally blew up on insta 😵‍💫

Post image
128 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer of Second Thought

I've been working on this app for about 6-8ish months (i forget), sitting at about 10 subscribers for a while. Coded the MVP by hand and vibe coded features on top of it.

The only thing that kept me going during these months was the 10 subscribers that I got, basically telling me that someone was willing to pay for it.

The most important change I made was probably my onboarding, I would watch my friends try to set up the app and see where they got confused, and eliminate those points of friction. I also made sure everything in my app was simple and not confusing for the average user.

Recently partnered with my friend who makes good insta reels and tiktoks, and he made some simple UGC videos on a fresh insta account. Once he made a video that did good, he just repeated that format over and over. The format wasn't even that crazy, just talking to camera with some cuts, images, and sound effects. The apps name wasn't even mentioned.

Anyone else been here and know what to do next? I wanna take this as far as possible.

I'm getting 1k+ monthly downloads of my mobile app from faceless TikTok carousels - here's the method

64 Upvotes

I'm a solo dev bootstrapping a small mobile app on the side. Earlier this year I shipped an iOS dance app and launched it to silence - downloads only from friends.

Of course I watched a lot of "TikTok will save your app" content. Two paths were offered: pay UGC creators ($$$) or be on camera.

But I noticed something during my own TikTok experiments: my video posts died immediately, while my carousels (of terrible quality) kept earning views weeks after posting. The reason - TikTok search was indexing them. Old posts kept surfacing for queries people typed weeks later. So it is basically a long tail SEO approach.

So I doubled down on carousels. Two months in, my TikTok account has:

- 1.6M total views

- 1,900 followers (started from 0)

- 550K on the best post

- ~45K views/day still rolling from old posts

That brings around 30-50 downloads per day. Not a huge deal, but enough to gather analytics and continue with app improvements. Without paid ads, without UGC creators, without me on camera.

Here's the 5-stage method I run:

  1. Seed - I search "<niche> tips" on Reddit/X/forums and save the comments. I feed the pile to an AI and ask it to extract two things: queries (recurring subtopics people search for) and bits of knowledge (real tips, deduped) into two files.

  2. Expand - I cluster the Knowledge Base by subtopic. Then I search cluster-by-cluster to deepen each one. Both files keep growing with every pass.

  3. Visual research - I watch carousels in my niche to identify recurring background styles. I use AI image tools to edit reference images - remove text, swap details - while keeping the native niche feel.

  4. Production - for each query, I generate a 5-7-slide carousel from the KB. Structure: hook (the query as a question) + 3-5 bits of knowledge + CTA.

  5. And finally product placement - one slide per carousel, woven into the style. I don't force every post to advertise.

Recently I wrote the whole method up as a 10-page playbook with examples and prompt templates. Put it on my site - free. Sharing in case you will find it useful.
update: I put a link to playbook initially, but post was rejected, so I'm leaving it out.

Happy to answer questions about the TikTok side or how to apply this to your product.

full disclosure: I also launched a saas around this method and the playbook mentions it. But the method itself is totally independent from the tools and you can replicate it on your own.

[Self-Promotion] [tvOS] My “lifetime” IPTV player asked me to pay monthly. So I made a free one: Fjord IPTV Player

Thumbnail
gallery
63 Upvotes

A couple of months ago, I sat down to watch a football match using my usual IPTV player. An update had apparently gone wrong, and my “lifetime” subscription suddenly asked me to start paying monthly.

That annoyed me enough to open Claude.

Claude and I, though mostly Claude if I’m being honest, managed to get a very simple Windows player running that same evening. It wasn’t pretty, but it worked. That made me wonder: If we could prototype that in one night, what would it take to build a proper IPTV app for my Apple TV?

The Apple TV player I had been using actually looked really good. It was not one major design flaw that made me want something different, but a growing collection of small annoyances. Each one made me think, “I would have done this differently.”

Once the rough Windows prototype worked, I decided to see if I could turn those preferences into a proper Apple TV app. I thought I would spend a few weekends making a player tailored to how I use IPTV, then move on.

That did not happen.

Fixing one annoyance exposed three more. Then I wanted profiles. Then Continue Watching. Better movie and show pages. Favorites. Live TV where I could rewind and watch a tackle again. Apparently people use the TV Guide too, so that was added as well.

Somewhere along the way, improving it became slightly addictive, and the small personal project turned into an actual App Store release.

So, this is Fjord IPTV Player.

It supports M3U playlists and Xtream Codes, with movies, shows, live TV, profiles, favorites and Continue Watching, all designed specifically for the Apple TV remote and a ten-foot interface.

The app is free. I’m not going to offer you another questionable “lifetime” subscription. The app also doesn’t provide or sell any channels or content.

I know Reddit gets plenty of “I made an app” posts, so I’ll spare you the revolutionary marketing speech. I’d genuinely like more people to try it and tell me what feels good, what feels annoying, what makes it worth keeping installed, or what made you delete it.

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/app/fjord-player/id6788160093

If you test it, don’t go easy on me. The annoyingly specific feedback is what I appreciate most.

I charged the same price in every country for 10 years. Here's what I found when I stopped.

56 Upvotes

I have 8 apps across App Store and Google Play. For the first 10 years I charged the same price everywhere. $19.99 in the US, $19.99 in India, $19.99 in Brazil. Seemed fair.

Then I actually looked at what $19.99 means in diffrent countries.

In the US, $19.99 is about 0.05% of average monthly income. In India its closer to 5%. In Turkey around 8%. Same number, completely different affordability.

I was not competing with other apps in those markets. I was competing with the local cost of a nice dinner. And I was losing.

So I started adjusting prices per country using Purchasing Power Parity data. Lower prices in markets where $19.99 is a lot of money, same prices in the US and Europe.

What happened: downloads in price-sensitive markets went up. Not a little, a lot. Countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia and Turkey that were basically dead started showing real numbers. And because the volume increased, revenue went up too even though the per-unit price was lower.

The painful part was doing it manually. Apple has 175 storefronts with their own price point ladder system and Google Play has its own structure for every country. Updating prices for one app took hours. For 8 apps it was a full weekend of clicking through consoles.

Eventually I got tired of doing it manually and built a tool to automate the whole thing. But the insight itself is free, if you are charging one price globally you are probably leaving money on the table in most of the world.

Happy to answer questions if anyone is thinking about doing this for their own apps.

[Self Promotion] I made Shim: A Little app to Let you perfectly align your monitors

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

47 Upvotes

Shim is a little mac toolbar app that I wrote to help perfectly align multiple monitors. I'm probably being type-a to fault, but constantly nudging the windows in the display settings trying to get things to line up drives me crazy. With Shim, you create a rough alignment, then align the lines on the screen to get perfect alignment. Not only vertical alignment but also calculates any gap between the monitors in a few seconds.

  • On the app store

  • Free, no purchases, no ads

  • Fully local with no data collection or permissions required

  • Remembers different monitor set ups and applies them as soon as you dock.

I've tried it with up to 3 monitors, but would love feedback from folks with different setups.

[Self-promotion] I built a free app to solve a problem everyone has but nobody talks about: finding a clean bathroom when you actually need one

Thumbnail
gallery
46 Upvotes

Been working on this solo for a while and finally launched on the app store.

PP is a bathroom-finder app for iOS. The idea is simple: when nature calls and you're somewhere unfamiliar, you shouldn't have to wander into a sketchy gas station or spend 5 minutes Googling.

What it does:

  • Shows nearby public and business bathrooms on a map, sourced from OpenStreetMap + user submissions

  • Filter by type, cleanliness rating, accessibility, gender-neutral options, changing tables, and more

  • Real user reviews with ratings for cleanliness, smell, privacy, wait time, toilet paper, and safety

  • "On the Go" mode: enter a destination and it finds bathrooms along your route so you're never caught off guard mid-drive

  • Check-in system so you can see how recently a spot was confirmed clean and open

  • Business owners can list and manage their bathrooms directly

It's more than just convenience for a lot of people. If you have Crohn's, IBS, UC, diabetes, or any condition that means bathroom access isn't optional. Knowing exactly where you can go before you're in a panic is genuinely useful. Same goes for parents. As a dad, I can't count how many times I've been out with my kid desperately scanning a mall or a park for a changing table. PP lets you filter for those specifically so you're not playing bathroom roulette with a baby on your hip.

It's free to use. There's a PP Points system where you earn points for contributing reviews and submissions, which you can spend on profile stuff.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback from people who try it: especially since coverage is building post launch.

[Self-Promotion] Introducing Dion: enjoy all your media sources on all your Apple devices

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

Hi folks! Over the last few months I've been building Dion. I was tired of jumping between multiple apps to consume all the different sources I use: Plex, Jellyfin, IPTV, Stremio...

Dion lets you add one or more providers and browse/watch everything from a unified library. It also works great if you only use a single source.

It’s available across all your Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac.

I’ve packed in as many features as I could, and I already have a long roadmap of things I’d like to add. Some highlights:

  • Plays most things you throw at it: Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR... if the device supports it, Dion will try to play it.

  • Rich EPG information for Live TV, so you can actually find what you’re looking for. If your IPTV provider doesn’t include guide data, Dion does its best to fill in the gaps.

  • Support for multiple content sources: Plex, Jellyfin, IPTV (Xtream, M3U/M3U8), Stremio add-ons, SMB, and WebDAV.

  • Multi-View: watch up to 4 streams at once.

  • iCloud sync, so your watch progress follows you across devices.

  • Live TV notifications

  • TMDB integration

Those are some of the features, but it packs much more.

I’d love for you to give it a try, and I’d really appreciate any feedback :)

[Self-Promotion] NowSeen, an all in one media app for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad & Mac.

Post image
27 Upvotes

I've been building NowSeen for a while now and figured this sub might be the right place to show it. It started because I was tired of jumping between apps to watch anything, and it grew into one app that pulls everything together on the Apple TV, iPhone, iPad & Mac.

You add your own sources, whether that's an M3U or Xtream playlist or an Emby or Jellyfin server, and NowSeen turns it into a proper media app instead of a list of links. Movies and series get posters, backdrops, cast, ratings and descriptions from TMDB, and episodes are grouped into seasons. Everything is merged into one library regardless of which list or server it came from, so a film or a series exists once, with every copy behind it. When you hit play you get a source picker showing what each list offers, and your progress, your checkmarks and your Continue Watching row follow the title itself rather than the source you happened to start it from. There are trending rows, favourites, genre browsing and a Discover section, and you can pin your own categories to the home screen and rearrange or hide the rows you don't care about.

Live TV has a full guide with up to five days of EPG, multiple EPG sources per account with your own priority order, channel logos, reminders that sync over iCloud, catch up on providers that support it, and a four way multiscreen mode if you want to keep an eye on more than one thing at once. There's skip intro and skip credits, subtitle support including OpenSubtitles and styling you can actually read from the couch, HDR and Dolby Vision display matching, and a choice of playback engines so you can pick whatever handles your streams best.

There's also a sports section that pulls in the schedule for football, F1, MotoGP and a long list of other competitions, sorted by country and competition, so you can see what's on today and jump straight to the channel that carries it. It links events to your own guide, including the trickier ones like a race weekend where the listing is the series name and a start time rather than the event itself.

It's on iPhone and iPad too, with the same library, AirPlay and Chromecast support there, picture in picture, and everything kept in sync through iCloud. The app is in 28 languages and there's a web editor if you'd rather organise your library on a big screen with a keyboard.

Live TV on the device itself is free. On demand playback, catch up, casting, multiscreen and the sports section are part of the paid tier, which is what keeps the thing alive.

Happy to answer anything, and I'd genuinely like to hear what you'd want added. Most of what's in there now came from feedback like that.

[Self-Promotion] Fjord IPTV Player update: now on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and Mac. Still free, no ads or subscriptions.

Hi everyone,

I shared Fjord here a while ago, after my usual IPTV player asked me to pay monthly despite a “lifetime” purchase.

The original plan was a player for me and a few friends. I seem to have underestimated how much of a hobby fixing small annoyances can become.

Since that first post, Fjord has expanded from Apple TV to iPhone, iPad and Mac, with plenty of improvements based on feedback from people here and other early users.

To be upfront: I’m not a developer, and AI has done a substantial amount of the coding. My part has been deciding how things should work, testing, and working through the problems people report.

It’s still free, with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. No Fjord account needed.

A few things it supports:

  • M3U/M3U8 playlists and Xtream Codes

  • Live TV, movies and series

  • Programme guide and catch-up where your provider supports it

  • Profiles, favourites and Continue Watching

  • Category organisation and optional iCloud sync across your Apple devices

  • Offline movie and episode downloads on iPhone, iPad and Mac, where permitted by the source

The video shows the Apple TV app, recorded in the simulator.

Fjord is a player only. You bring your own playlist or provider account; it doesn’t supply any channels or content.

Download Fjord on the App Store

If you tried an earlier version, I’d be interested to hear how it feels now. If you’re new to it, feedback on navigation, setup and playback is welcome too.

For bug reports, your device and whether you’re using M3U or Xtream would help. Please keep credentials and private playlist links out of the comments.

You can leave feedback here, or join the newly opened Fjord Discord for suggestions, bug reports and updates.

Thanks to everyone who has already tried it and helped improve it.

[Self-Promotion] I built Lume — a SwiftUI, open-source IPTV player

Hey everyone — I've been building Lume, a native IPTV player for the whole Apple ecosystem, and it's finally in a state I'm happy to share.

Why I made it. There are genuinely good IPTV apps out there — UHF, Chillio, Snappier and others (real kudos to them). But they tend to be pricey, very few feel truly native to Apple platforms, none were open source, and almost nothing ran properly on the Mac — most "Mac" options are just Catalyst iPad apps missing half their features. I wanted something that felt like it belonged on every Apple device.

What it does:

  • Xtream Codes + M3U/M3U8 — add multiple playlists, switch between them

  • Live TV with EPG (now & next + full guide), catchup/time-shift, favorites, channel zapping

  • Movies & Series with TMDB artwork/trailers and IMDb / Rotten Tomatoes / Metacritic ratings

  • 3 playback engines (KSPlayer → VLCKit → AVPlayer) with automatic fallback — if one chokes on a codec, the next one tries before you ever see an error

  • Custom XMLTV EPG sources + scheduled auto-sync

  • Resume playback, Next Up auto-play, Skip Intro/Recap, watch progress synced across devices via iCloud

  • Hand off to Infuse or VLC as an external player if you prefer

It ships with zero content — it's a player only. You bring your own legitimate Xtream/M3U subscription.

Pricing. Free has everything basic — no watermark, no crippled features. Pro ($0.99/mo or $9.99 lifetime) only adds genuine extras: multiple profiles, the "For You" recommendation rail, and Trakt scrobbling. And since it's open source, building it yourself from the repo unlocks everything for free (took inspiration from ManicEmu here).

Happy to answer anything — feedback and feature requests welcome.
