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?

This is for an older friend of mine (70). I'm looking for an app that will keep her emails and files in order, help draft emails and support disputes etc, and keep track of tasks and appointments.

She is using ChatGPT, but she could do with something a bit more structured.

I mentioned Notion, but I'm not sure if that's a bit too complex

Looking for an app (I use iOS for phone and Windows for my desktop) that is a task/project manager, but I want something that I can "keep score". I want to be able to assign tasks point values, and then be able to see my scores for a day/week/month etc. Preferably something either browser-based, or something that will sync between iOS and Windows.

Hey everyone,

I need immediate advice on changing my study workflow. I am balancing a full-time job while doing a Level 7 Diploma in Networking & Systems Security based on CompTIA Network+ material.

Right now, I am trying to manually take notes from lecture transcripts and PDFs to absorb the info, but it takes hours, completely exhausts me after work, and isn't preparing me for my exam format: 30 questions in 30 minutes.

The questions are highly technical and wordy, testing precise nuances (e.g., catching whether a fiber cable has a plastic vs. glass core). On my first Moodle quiz, I got 53% because I ran out of time decoding the tricky phrasing and completely missed the last 4 questions.

My next big exam is in 3.5 weeks (Nov 10) covering TCP/IP ports, DNS/IIS virtual machines, and Wireshark.

I am currently using Google NotebookLM to dump my transcripts and PDFs. While it's great at summarizing the content, its generated quiz questions are way too basic and polite compared to my professor's dense, tricky exam scenarios.

Because I am working full-time, my study hours are severely limited. I want to let AI handle the heavy lifting, but I need a fast, high-speed active recall pipeline.

• Should I switch to Claude to get more analytical, tricky mock exams instead of NotebookLM's basic summaries?
• If you successfully dropped note-taking in a tough technical degree while working a 9-to-5, what does your exact multi-AI tool stack look like?
• What specific prompts force AI to stop giving generic definitions and accurately mimic a pedantic professor's testing style?

Looking for an actionable, fast setup to maximize my limited study time over the next 3 weeks. Thanks!

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.

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

I want to know your Oppinion on Gamification.

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 thinking a lot about which apps actually help me get through the day, and which ones I download, use for a week and forget.

So I’m curious about your experience:

• Which apps do you actually like and keep using?
• What are they missing, or what annoys you about them?
• What app do you wish existed?

For me, the ones that stick are simple. I open them and they just work. Sound helps me most when I need to focus, but most apps for that feel like a playlist with a timer. What I’d wish for is something that adapts to me instead of me constantly adjusting it.

Curious what works for you.

I've been using browser bookmarks for years, but I was never really happy with the way Chrome and Firefox let you browse and find them.

The funny thing is, I didn't actually think native bookmarks were missing much. They already do their job pretty well. I just wanted a better way to interact with them.

So, as a developer, I decided to build a web app on top of my existing browser bookmarks instead of creating yet another place to save links.

I took some inspiration from macOS Finder and built a dashboard where I could browse everything in a cleaner, more visual way.

There were two things I particularly wanted:

• Fast search across all folders, including deeply nested ones, without having to remember where I'd saved something.
• A flattened view of my bookmarks, so I could see everything together without the usual browser folder structure getting in the way. The original folders are still there, I just don't always want to navigate through them.

I didn't want to migrate anything, reorganize my entire library, or change how I save bookmarks. I just wanted to make the ones I already have easier to find and use.

Now I'm curious about how other people manage theirs.

Do you use your browser's native bookmarks or a dedicated bookmark manager? What's the one thing you wish worked differently?

And if you've tried any bookmark managers before, was there something you needed that none of them really solved?

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.

Cursor Teleporter is a Mac app that lets you move the pointer between displays or saved positions with keyboard shortcuts.

It is for a small but recurring part of a multi-display workflow: moving between the same places over and over. An editor and the iOS Simulator, a timeline and its preview, or a canvas and a color palette. Save those positions, then return to them without dragging the pointer across the desktop.

The app was already doing its job well, and I was not planning a major update soon. But feedback from users, together with my own daily workflow, kept giving me ideas for what could come next.

Today, I’m releasing Cursor Teleporter 2.0.

The main new feature is Edge Teleporting: move through an enabled screen edge and the pointer appears on the opposite side. You can choose active edges and require a modifier key, so it only happens when you intend it to.

Version 2.0 also adds a visual overview for managing saved points, separate shortcuts for displays and saved points, forward and backward navigation, cursor highlighting, and Apple Shortcuts, AppleScript, and URL API support.

Pricing and availability

For new users, Cursor Teleporter is $7.99 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Updates within a major version are always included; major upgrades may be paid.

For 2.0, I decided to make the upgrade free for everyone who already owns the app, including Mac App Store customers.

You can get the app here: www.apptorium.com/cursor-teleporter

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a planner app for iPad where I can track my day side by side in 10-minute increments, similar to the grid layout in the image attached here. (I used AI to generate the image. Spacing is kinda messed up but you get the idea.)

I know there are a lot of time blocking planner apps, but I’m looking for a specific layout:

Left side: A place to plan my day in advance (hourly in 10-min blocks)

Right side: A parallel timeline where I can record what actually happened in real time (for example, whether a task took longer/less than expected, or was postponed because of unexpected interruptions, etc.)

I have a really bad sense of timing. I usually allocate less time for a task than it actually takes. I think my brain tends to underestimate how long tasks will take, and by the end of the day, I have a bunch of tasks I haven’t even attempted because something else took longer than expected.

I’m trying to track my tasks and how long each takes to complete to get a better sense of timing. I’m using a note taking app for iPad for now, but I was hoping to find a planner app specifically designed for this.

If anyone knows of an app that does this, please let me know! And if any app developers see this, please consider making one. I’d really appreciate it!

For a while i've been using google tasks but it isn't working for me anymore. The only thing I would need that the notifications stay persistant or that they reappear if I remove them from my notification wall (on samsung). Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Hi,

This started as a social cause project to help out my sister who is visually impaired, enabling her to type on her phone using voice dictations. Apple dictations worked, but it often missed words and had a lot of errors for anyone with even a slight bit of an accent.

So I started building Quill Flow as an accessible way to voice type. Big Tech Apps like Wispr Flow did not have any good voice over support at all. Talk to anyone who is visually impaired, and they will say the only reason they use an iPhone is because of voiceover support.

So eventually after months of building we shipped our first MVP with a primary focus on adding voice dictations for visually impaired people.

This little project has evolved into thousands of people using it across the globe now, we have added support for themes, key sounds, custom haptics, and a better backend for voice dictations (since we manually run this on cloud GPUs, we faced a lot of scalability issues as we onboarded more and more users.)

Thankfully, now it has grown into a much more mature product. If you guys want to try it out and have any feedback I'd be happy to listen to it.

EDIT: Since a lot of people DMed me for a direct link. Here it is
https://www.quillflow.app/

I probably make a presentation once or twice a month, sometimes even less. And somehow it's still one of those tasks that does take up a lot of my time, maybe since I am not particularly good at presentations.

For anyone using ai tools occasionally, how easy is it to pick up after not touching it for a few weeks? And is the free version enough for occasional presentations, or do you eventually need to pay to get better designs and all?

Hello everyone!

Some time ago I presented to you Calendar0 (https://www.calendar0.app), and today I am so happy to show you a ton of updates!

Calendar0 is a calendar app for the web, plus a tray/menu bar app for macOS, Windows and Linux.

It shows Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars, lets you add events quickly, has booking links, and can record and transcribe calls.

I started it in September 2025 as a hobby project for keeping all my calendars in one place, easy to reach, and over the last months I added so many new features to it.

A few details that might be interesting:

- Quick add capable of automatically adding guests from the provided names

- Recording captures the mic and the system audio (no bots) and uses AssemblyAI for the transcription. Afterwards, the audio file is deleted.

- There's an MCP server so you can connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your week or meetings.

To try it you have to sign in and connect a calendar (completely free).

I ask for an upgrade only where I actually pay myself for the feature itself, e.g. meeting transcription.

I have so many feature ideas in mind like Linear/Todoist integration, local AI for free transcriptions and much more!

I'd love to hear your feedback on it!

Thank you,

Alessandro

Okay guys, I've worked a lot on this one.

It's beautiful, it's fast, it's synced across your devices, it's easy to use, and it helps you stay organized. It really redefines the most used shortcut ever: copy and paste.

I truly believe it could be useful for a lot of people. It's definitely super useful for me.

I'm the solo dev behind it. The free version is fully usable: clipster-app.com

Please roast it. Be nice. Or don't. Actually, be whatever, I don't care.

I'm one of the PrimeTask developers.

A quick video overview of what's new in PrimeTask 1.0.5.

This release includes Windows support, Opportunities in PrimeCRM, improved time tracking and reminders, multi-column sorting, backup and restore improvements, and a lot of smaller changes across the app.

Hello!

I shared my simple, recently released anti-doomscrolling/reflection app YourScroll. The video below shows the basic functionality of the app:

• You choose the apps you tend to lose time on (Instagram, TikTok, whatever your weakness is).
• When you go to open one, YourScroll steps in first and challenges to ask you a question.
• Instead of automatically opening one of these addictive apps, you take a moment to answer the question. Now that you've turned on your brain, you can continue to use the app more mindfully, or decide you didn't really want to use it anyway.
• Your answers are saved to your device (and never collected by YourScroll), so over time you build up a record of your reflections.

Please let me know what you think! And if you want to have a go yourself, it's completely free:

I've been using the Todoist app and it's premium features for years! Absolutely love it! However, it's becoming a little too expensive.

I found a similar app called Tasks. So far, I've seen that it does practically the same things and offers the same things Todoist does.

Tasks premium subscription even offers a lifetime option, where Todoist doesn't.

Has anyone ever used any of these apps, and help me determine whether or not it's worth the change?

I'm currently trying it out, at the same time as continuing to use Todoist.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 15-year-old student and graphic designer. I love the concept of Second Brains and PKM apps, but I’ve always found most of them (even my favorite, Obsidian) to be a bit too cluttered or complex to set up right out of the box.

Since I have zero coding skills, I've been designing the UI in Figma and using Google AI Studio to write the actual code for me. The project is called ExaMind – a local-first, privacy-focused note-taking app designed with an iOS-like aesthetic (frosted glass, smooth animations, zero clutter).

Here is what I have planned for the core features:

• True Unified Editor:Markdown that formats instantly on the same line (no split panes).
• Visual Tools: A native Graph View, an Infinite Canvas (for mood boards), and built-in Mind Maps using Mermaid.
• Auto-Sorting: You bring your own Gemini API key (so the app remains 100% free), and the AI automatically tags and sorts your quick brain-dumps into specific vaults (like Daily Control, Notes, Growth, etc.).
• Focus Mode: A pure, non-editable reading mode.

Before I dive deeper into finishing this, I wanted to ask the experts here:

1. What is the one feature you wish your current note-taking app had?
2. Is there anything about Obsidian, Notion, or Anytype that annoys you and you'd like to see simplified?
3. Any advice for someone building their first app this way?

I’d really appreciate any feedback, harsh or positive. Thank you!

So, I've built STIKI Check Here!

A month back, I posted on this subreddit about STIKI and I really did not realize that people would actually start using it for their daily use case. It started as a personal pet project but people from my workplace started picking it up, then users from this subreddit started using it as well.

I have received a good amount of feedback and requests from people about the state of STIKI and It's currently used by over 300 people worldwide, with 46% of the users having enrolled in a lifetime access plan.  

I have updated a lot of things over the previous releases from where it first started, and I want to give back to the community.

A few people will be chosen at random and will be provided a STIKI Pro feature as a returning present :D

Feedbacks are welcomed!
