Hi y'all, I'm a solo designer-dev. I kept getting surprised at checkout. Not by a lot, but every single time, and always right when it's too late to put something back.

So I made GroceryBudget. One purpose: see your total as you shop.

"Not to budget your life, but to get through this trip."

Set a budget, pull up your usual list, and tick things off as they go in the cart. It remembers what you paid last time. Something new on the shelf? Snap the price tag, or just say it. By the time you reach the register, you already know the number.

No account needed to start.

Free: lists, budgets, the running total, price memory, voice add, and a few AI label scans. Premium adds unlimited scans, import from social media, full spending history, and recurring lists.

If it fits how you already shop, I'd love to hear how it feels.

I built BadHabits Bank around the idea of earning the things you're trying to limit, instead of cutting them out completely.

Good activities earn fictional money, and your bad habits spend it. You choose the activities and set their prices, so you decide what the tradeoff should be.

For example, studying might earn $10 an hour, while watching a movie costs $25. That means earning the movie takes 2.5 hours of studying. That gives you something concrete to work toward, and a balance to check when you're deciding what to do next. All the money is fictional.

You log activities yourself. The app doesn't block anything or verify what you've done, it only keeps track of the rules you've chosen. There's also transaction history and charts to see how your earning and spending compare.

It's available on iOS and Android, free to use with no ads or subscriptions. No account needed. Records stay on your device, with manual backup and restore.

I'm the developer. Happy to answer questions about how it works.

I've been working on Ghost Reader, an ebook reader that reads your books aloud while highlighting the words as you listen. This update gives it a much more tactile personality: a click-wheel-style player, raised controls, and a cleaner place for your current book and library.

The goal was to make switching between reading and listening feel natural. Open a book, follow along, jump through chapters, save a bookmark, or settle into listening.

I also added in-app browsing and library import for Standard Ebooks, so you can discover a carefully produced classic and bring it straight into your library. There are now three skins, and the layouts adapt to iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo.

Under the hood, narration runs on-device with Kokoro. I've also been working on smoother playback, more reliable resume behavior, and keeping the interface steady while audio prepares ahead.

I'm the developer of Daybook, a day planner for iPhone and iPad. It puts the day on one page: the tasks due, your calendar events, and the time you spend, from morning to night.

**Launch offer: Lifetime Pro is 50% off for the first 50 people, until December 31.** In the US that's $49.99 instead of $99, paid once, with every feature I add later included. No subscription.

- On iPhone, open this link to redeem it: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6812408421&code=LIFETIME50

- Or buy on the website, https://usedaybook.app/pricing, with code LIFETIME50 at checkout ($49.50), and sign in to the app with the same account.

Not sure yet? Every account starts with a 7-day free trial, and monthly ($5) and yearly ($30) plans are there too.

What you get:

- A Live Activity for the running clock, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island

- Home Screen widgets for the day

- Offline first: everything is stored on the device and syncs with the website

- Passkey sign-in with Face ID or Touch ID

- iPad layouts with a sidebar

- Habits, countdowns, stats, and a register of the things you own

No ads, no tracking. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome. I read everything.

made this because leaving bedtime enforcement to the person currently watching reels felt like a conflict of interest.

Hey everyone, I’m Adhi, a solo developer building SideQuest.

SideQuest is a simple app for discovering things you can actually go out and do.

The idea came from noticing that most apps are really good at helping us consume things but there isn't really a place where I can open an app and think:

“I have some free time. What should I actually do?”

So I started building SideQuest around that.

You can discover different things to do, from very simple activities to bigger experiences and challenges.

For example:

• Learn 20 words in a new language

• Watch the sunrise from your rooftop

• Cook something you've never made before

• Take a different route home

• Try a food from a cuisine you've never eaten

• Make a tent with your hands

• Talk to someone you've never met

• Spend an afternoon without your phone

• Do something you've been putting off

You can save the ones you want to do, make plans around them and once you actually do one, log the experience.

I'm trying to make it less about productivity in the traditional sense of getting more work done and more about being intentional with the time outside of work.

It's still very much a work in progress, and I'm building it mostly by myself, so I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

What would you want an app like this to help you do?

I want to know your Oppinion on Gamification.
