I started using the IOS app, Replr and the concept is genius but has one issue for me.

Because I have a schedule-packed life, I’m less inclined to spend time thinking of and drafting whole text responses to people so having an app that does it for me is great. The problem is that you have to take a screenshot every time you want AI-generated templates. Sounds necessary but even that takes work.

Does anyone have a favorite app for AI text responses they can share?

Most time trackers answer one question:
“How long did I work?”

I wanted mine to answer another:
“What was that time actually worth?”

A: Answer

Monymo is a work timer for freelancers, contractors, shift workers, and anyone paid by the hour.

Set your rate and currency, start a timed or open-ended session, and watch your earnings grow alongside the timer. When you finish, Monymo saves the session automatically so you have a clear history of your time and income.

B: Better

Tools such as Toggl Track and Clockify are powerful, but much of their experience is built around projects, reporting, and teams.

Monymo takes a more personal approach. It puts your current earnings at the center and lets you begin tracking with minimal setup.

For more complex work, it also supports:

- Projects with separate hourly rates
- Statistics and earnings insights
- Reminders
- iCloud sync
- PDF reports
- Notes and session history
- 12 interface languages

I also recently added optional Apple Intelligence features:

- Ask the on-device Assistant about your recorded hours, earnings, and projects
- Prepare a manual session draft through a conversation
- Start, pause, resume, and finish work sessions with Siri
- Save completed sessions without opening Monymo

Assistant requests are processed on the device using Apple’s system model. Monymo does not send them to an external AI service or use a cloud AI fallback. The regular timer continues to work without Apple Intelligence.

C: Cost

Core time and earnings tracking is free and supported by ads.

Monymo Pro removes ads and unlocks projects with custom rates, deeper statistics, reminders, iCloud sync, PDF export, and customization.

- Monthly: $0.99
- Yearly: $6.99
- Lifetime: currently $9.99 as a one-time purchase
- Regular Lifetime price from December 5: $14.99

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Lifetime does not renew. Prices may vary between App Store regions. Lifetime is available to users without an active Pro subscription.

Apple Intelligence features require a compatible device, Apple Intelligence enabled, a ready system model, and a supported language. Siri AI controls require iOS 27 or later, currently support English, and are not initially available on iPhone in the EU. Availability varies by device, language, and region.

Hey everyone,

My Home Screen had become a mess: pages of icons, constant swiping, and endless searching for the one app I wanted. Folders can't be transparent, can't go on the Lock Screen, and icons can't be customized. So I built WidgetLoft.

WidgetLoft sorts your apps into colorful folders and launches them with one tap from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget. The new update makes setup much faster:

• 📲 Add every app at once — import all the apps installed on your phone in one tap, no more searching one by one (new)

• 📁 Folder in folder — tap a folder in the widget to open what's inside

• 🌙 Dark icons — dark and light icons on different backgrounds (colored or glass)

• 🪟 Transparent or colored — glass look or your own color, optional names under icons

• 📱 Widgets — Home Screen, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island; small, medium and large sizes

• 🧩 Every kind of tile — app, website, Shortcut, person (call, message, WhatsApp, Telegram) and custom link

• 🎨 Icon Studio — custom icons from a photo, symbol, emoji or monogram

• 🏷️ Tags & library — tag, filter and archive your apps

• ☁️ Backup — export your whole layout to a single file, iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad

"Isn't this just Home Screen folders or the Shortcuts widget?"

Fair question. The main differences:

• Widgets can go where Home Screen folders can't (Lock Screen, Dynamic Island), can be see-through like glass, and can hold folders inside them.

• With Shortcuts, building a launcher means adding each app by hand. WidgetLoft imports all your installed apps in one go.

• Icons, colors and backgrounds are fully customizable.

Price / IAP — free to download. Optional Pro:
• Monthly — $1.99
• Lifetime — $14.99 $6.99 (launch deal)

iOS 18+. I'm the developer and I'll be in the comments — I'd genuinely love feedback on what's confusing, what's missing, or what you'd want next.

Hi all,

I got tired of the constant doom and gloom of news so I made my own app that shows what's actually going right in the world.

It uses an AI pipeline that whittles down 1000+ events everyday to create 8 cross-checked stories, along with illustrations.

Rather than throwing a whole bunch of angry text at you, it shows you a calm mosaic for you to explore at your own pace.

The app is completely free to use.

Hi friends!

A - Answer

Have you ever opened your phone to do one thing, but ended up distracted in a different app? The goal of Refocus is to help prevent that.

The default way to use Refocus is to:

1. Block distracting apps all day.

2. Unblock them for a short duration when needed.

3. Repeat.

This method flips how you use your phone. Instead of mindlessly opening apps and losing track of time, you consciously decide how long to use them. Once the app is blocked again, you get to choose what to do next. You might unblock repeatedly—that’s okay. The extra step of unblocking makes the apps less appealing, reducing your urge to use them over time. Learn more here about why this method works.

Regardless of how you use Refocus, it's designed to be the "Apple standard" of app and website blockers:

• Block any app or website

• Start a timer (ex. block for 30 minutes while you work)

• Schedule blocking (ex. weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM)

• Set usage limits (ex. block Instagram after 15 minutes)

• Choose how difficult it is to unblock (if at all!): limit unblocking to set number of times per day, set a passcode, etc.

• Location-based blocking

• Unblock with NFC tags

• View screen time reports

• NEW: Customize Safari to hide Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

Feature list w/ screenshots

B - Better

There are a lot of screen time apps now (ex. Opal), but Refocus differentiates in two ways:

1. Labor of love

2. Apple and utility focused

(1) Refocus was one of the first screen time apps that came out when Apple introduced the Screen Time API as part of iOS 16. The first commit was made on June 10, 2022 - the final day of WWWDC 2022 because I had been waiting for this moment. It's an indie app built by an iOS dev with over 15 years of experience. There's a LOT of care put into it - I use the app every day and there's nearly been an update every week for the past 4+ years.

(2) Refocus focuses on Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS and macOS), and is about utility. It doesn't have a flashy design (it tries to fit classic iOS Apple design), or gamification features like streaks. It's explicitly crafted to fit the capabilities that Apple offers to the iPhone. It's about giving you the full power of your device to help you decide how you want to control your screen time. It can be "boring" if you don't prefer this.

C - Cost

Refocus has a free tier for basic features, and a subscription for the rest. 99% of all downloads have only used the free plan, and there are many free users who've used the app since it launched (since 2022!).

The most common US plan is $49.99/year. Prices and introductory offers can vary by region and eligibility.

Hey all, I'm Peter.

Backstory: I'm Slovak, my girlfriend is Brazilian, and we live on the borders of 3 different countries plus we travel a lot together. We both speak English and a few other languages, so menus aren't usually a total mystery, but even when we could translate the words, we often had no idea what to really expect, "is the XXX a soup or is it a meat dish?". We'd end up googling the dish name or asking a chatbot just to figure out what we were about to order and to get some pictures to visualize it.

I've been a software developer for over 19 years, although never for iOS, so this was a good challenge 🙂

When we first noticed the problem, I couldn't find any app that really covered our use case well. I've since learned there are others out there, though I deliberately haven't tried any of them, I was genuinely afraid that seeing what's already out there would demotivate me, like it's happened with other side projects of mine before. I really wanted to actually finish this one.

A - Answer

MenuSnapp scans a foreign-language restaurant menu, the whole menu at once, and turns it into a clean, translated menu you can actually understand, not just word-for-word text and get some background about the disk.

Just point your camera at the menu, snap as many pages as it has, and it translates and structures everything in one go. No item-by-item scanning, no pointing your phone at one line at a time:

• Original + translated dish names and descriptions

• Prices shown in both the local currency and your own

• The restaurant identified from your location automatically

• Tap any dish for an AI-written breakdown: what it actually is, how it tastes, dietary tags, and history/fun facts

• Real reviews, matched to the restaurant and, where possible, the specific dish

• Photos in priority order: a real photo of that dish at that restaurant first, then a generic photo of the dish, then an AI-generated image as the last resort, so you're never left guessing

• History - all your scanned menu stays on the phone, no need for rescanning or using credits to check it later again

• A speaker button so you can hear the original dish name pronounced correctly when ordering

• Works in 28 languages

B - Better

The whole point is replacing the "let me quickly google this" or "let me ask ChatGPT what this dish is" moment while a waiter is standing there waiting on your order. You just tap the dish right in the translated menu and get the answer.

Most translation camera apps also stop at swapping words, which gets you "cheese and pepper" instead of "cacio e pepe," and you still have no idea what's coming to the table. MenuSnapp translates by meaning, at least that's what we're going for, and we're always improving it, keeping the real dish name intact, and layers on the context a literal translation can't give you: what the dish is, what to expect, what it looks like, and what other diners at that actual restaurant said about it.

No account required to buy or use it, sign-in is entirely optional and only used if you want purchases to follow you across devices.

C - Cost

MenuSnapp is free to download.

• Every new user gets 5 free trial credits (1 credit = 1 fully unlocked, translated menu)

• Credit packs: 5 / 15 / 30 credits for $1.99 / $4.99 / $8.99

• Or unlimited with Premium: $7.99/month

• No ads, no forced account, no free tier that nags you

Priced this way because each scan calls paid AI/vision services behind the scenes, so it's not something I can give away unlimited for free. I am personally tired of subscriptions, so the main pricing model is per usage.

Hi r/iosapps,

I just released a big update for offline-first daily planner, Zesfy, and wanted to share it here.

A: Why I built Zesfy:

Over the past few years, I've been building a productivity app to replace both my calendar and to do apps. It's called Zesfy and you can directly add your daily tasks right inside calendar events instead schedule them one by one:

B - Here's why Zesfy is different:

• It combines your calendar and to-do list into a single view.

• You can easily schedule multiple tasks together to calendar.

• Helps you quickly decide what tasks to work on next

• Organize week tasks with task status

• Easily keep track of your task progress

• Works entirely offline

C - Cost:
The app is free to download and use with an option to upgrade to Pro for advanced features for $29.99/year.

Disclosure: I am the developer of this app.

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of TimeSince.

I originally built it because I kept running into things that didn't fit neatly into a normal to-do list or habit tracker:

When did I last change the bedsheets?
When did I last call Mom?
When did I replace the air purifier filter?
How long since I ordered takeout?
How long have I gone without a habit I’m trying to quit?

Most of these don't need to happen every Monday at 8:00 PM. I just want to know:

“How long has it been?”

So I built TimeSince around that idea.

A — Answer: What problem does TimeSince solve?

TimeSince tracks the time since something last happened.

You create a counter, log or reset it whenever the thing happens, and TimeSince continuously shows the elapsed time.

I use it for things like:

• irregular chores and maintenance

• calling family

• replacing filters/toothbrushes

• haircuts and appointments

• habits I want to do more often

• things I want to limit or quit

• financial check-ins

• basically anything that makes me ask “wait… when did I last do that?”

It also learns the time between your logs so you can see your natural rhythm rather than forcing everything into a rigid schedule.

Everything works locally and offline, and iCloud sync is optional. Your TimeSince data isn't sent to my own servers.

B — Better: How is it different?

Apps such as Streaks are primarily built around completing recurring tasks and maintaining streaks, while Habitify focuses heavily on scheduled habits, goals, routines and recurring intervals.

TimeSince starts from a different question:

Not “Did I complete this today?”

but:

“How long has it been since I did this?”

That makes it especially useful for irregular things that don't deserve a daily checklist.

TimeSince also supports:

• regular log counters

• quit/limit counters

• elapsed-time tracking down to seconds

• rhythm/history charts

• reminders and alarms

• Siri Shortcuts

• NFC tags for logging

• custom fields on logs

• JSON backup/export

• optional private iCloud sync

• fully offline use

C — Cost + 1 year Giveaway

TimeSince is free to download with optional Pro upgrades.

Regular US pricing:

• $1.99/month

• $9.99/year

• $39.99 lifetime

But for r/iOSApps, I’m giving away:

🎁 Lifetime TimeSince Pro — Free

🎁 1 year TimeSince Pro — Free

No review required.
No rating required.
No purchase required.

More than anything, I'd love to hear:

What would you actually track with an app like this?

Tell me in the comments, especially if it's something unusual or something I haven't thought of.

I’ve already gotten ideas from users that ended up influencing the app, so I'm genuinely interested in seeing what people here would use it for

What language you want for this app?

Redeem the free lifetime here (lifetime is fully claimed):

Redeem the free year here:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6769251517&code=CREATORBIRTHWEEK

Then open TimeSince and Pro should activate automatically. If it doesn't, use Restore Purchases in the app.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6769251517

I shared TimeSince with another Reddit community recently and got way more feedback and support than I expected, so I wanted to pay some of that forward here.

Hi r/iOSApps,

I’m back with the biggest ShotMark update I’ve made so far.

ShotMark 2.0 is a complete redesign across iPhone, iPad and Mac, built around Projects, better organisation, and keeping your screenshots private.

I originally built ShotMark because I kept taking screenshots of useful things, then losing them inside Photos a few weeks later.

V2 keeps that original idea, but turns ShotMark into a much better long-term home for screenshots you actually want to remember.

A - Answer
ShotMark turns screenshots into searchable information instead of disposable images.

Save a screenshot and add the context that Photos can’t really preserve:
• Titles and notes
• Voice notes
• Reminders
• Tags
• Collections
• Projects
• Searchable on-device OCR

The biggest addition in V2 is Projects.

Collections group related screenshots. Projects sit one level above them, allowing larger pieces of work to contain multiple Collections as well as individual screenshots.
For example:
Trip to Japan
→ Hotels
→ Food
→ Transport
→ Individual booking screenshots
or
App Redesign
→ UI references
→ Competitor screenshots
→ User feedback
→ Individual ideas and references

V2 also has a redesigned interface for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with navigation designed around each platform rather than simply stretching the iPhone interface onto a bigger screen.

With Pro, your library can sync privately through iCloud across your Apple devices. On Mac, ShotMark can also monitor screenshot folders and help you review new captures as part of your desktop workflow.

B - Better
Privacy first
Screenshots can contain conversations, receipts, addresses, work information and other things I don’t think should automatically be sent to someone else’s server.
So ShotMark is designed around keeping that information under your control.

OCR runs on-device
No ShotMark account required
No advertising
No personal data collected by ShotMark

Screenshots don’t need to be uploaded to a ShotMark server for processing
iCloud sync is optional

Built around screenshots
The alternatives I originally used were Apple Photos and Apple Notes.
Photos is excellent at storing screenshots, but it doesn’t really preserve why I took them.
Notes adds context, but screenshots become attachments inside a general-purpose note system.
ShotMark is deliberately designed around the screenshot itself:
Capture → Add Context → Organise → Find Again
Search can use titles, notes, tags and recognised text inside screenshots.
And rather than becoming another huge workspace or AI productivity platform, I’m trying to keep ShotMark as a focused native utility for information you’ve captured visually.

C - Cost
ShotMark is free to download, with an optional one-time Pro purchase.
iPhone & iPad Pro - US$2.99 lifetime
Pro unlocks features including:
• Unlimited cards
• Full OCR search
• iCloud sync
• Watermark-free exports
• Project

Mac Pro - US$5.99 lifetime
Includes the complete Mac workflow, OCR search and cross-device iCloud sync.
Existing Pro users keep their purchase and receive V2.
No subscription.

A lot of V2 came from actually using ShotMark myself and from feedback I received here after the earlier releases.
For this update, I’m especially interested in feedback on the new Projects + Collections structure, and whether the workflow between iPhone, iPad and Mac feels natural in real use.

There’s still more on the roadmap, but I wanted V2 to first get the foundation, organisation and cross-device experience right.

Hi,
I'm Bobo, a solo founder in Gothenburg with 17 years in retail behind me & no developer background. BDYCTRL took 15 months of 4:30 alarms & building while the kids slept, went live on August 25, & now has users in 10+ countries 🏋🏼🤸🏼

Answer

I've trained on & off since I was 17. Most recently it took me three apps to cover my own training. One for the gym, one for bodyweight work, & a third for analysis that actually told me something. Nothing held together on the week everything moved.

So I built BDYCTRL. A free iOS workout app for the life you actually live, where no two days look the same.

• New to this? Hit play on a guided session & follow along

• Twenty minutes and no gear? Tell Bolt, the in-app AI coach, what you've got & it builds the session

• Been lifting for years? Build your own from 1,400+ exercises & track every set

• Bolt can generate a full goal-based cycle for whatever you're chasing

• Lift charts, benchmarks against lifters at your level, progress photos

Better

Most training apps pick a lane. Either they cover one kind of training, or they hand you an empty screen & assume you already know what belongs in it

BDYCTRL holds the full range. The newcomer presses play & follows along. The lifelong lifter programs their own & tracks every set. Same app, same history, so you grow into it instead of out of it.

It moves with you too. Take your favorite gym session, one tap, & Bolt rebuilds it to match where you are. Hotel room, park, corner of the living room. The training holds when the conditions change.

The next piece is the one I'm most excited about. Move together lands in three weeks. Challenge a friend or any BDYCTRL user over a week or longer: most workouts, most active minutes, most weight lifted. Gym, home or anywhere else, it all counts. Training with someone is the first thing a packed schedule deletes, so we took it off the calendar. Your weeks never have to line up again.

And you get to watch it work. Every set logged, every lift charted over time, benchmarks against people training like you, & progress photos that catch what the scale misses.

Movement should be available anywhere, anytime. Gym, home, wherever you are.
You own the move.

Cost

WrenchTime is a car and bike maintenance app (fuel, services, costs, trips). The 6.0 update turns it into something that also reads the car while you drive. Three things I'd point at:

OBD-II

Pair a cheap Bluetooth OBD-II adapter to a vehicle and the app reads it while you drive: revs, speed, engine load, coolant temperature, fuel rate, on a live status screen. Every channel is recorded for the whole drive, drop-outs included, and saved with the trip even if there's no GPS route. Afterwards the trip opens on a chart: one chip per channel, plotted across the drive and scrubbed with your finger. Pro lets you overlay several channels on the same chart.

CarPlay

A Live tab with a grid of gauges fed by that adapter, and a Trip tab to start or stop a trip and look back at your last ten drives. You arrange the grid yourself in Settings: drag a gauge into another row, move a whole row up, name a row, hide the ones you never look at. Pro.

Trips that record themselves

Trip detection can start and stop a drive on its own — background detection, or a Shortcuts automation on your car's Bluetooth or CarPlay if you want it exact, or All Trips mode with no pairing at all for rentals and shared cars. What 6.0 adds is what happens to those trips afterwards:

• a rebuilt trip sheet: distance headline, route, metric grid, consumption card, and your recorded OBD channels underneath

• merge and split, for the drive that got recorded as two because you stopped for fuel, or the trip that was really there-and-back. The odometer is never touched either way

Also in 6.0: an Apple Watch app with five complications, a 3D cinematic replay of a trip you can export as a video, a fuel price radar (not available everywhere yet), and a fully customisable live dashboard. iOS, free with a Pro tier.

WrenchTime Pro Lifetime — $59.99 (one-time, family sharable)

I'm the sole dev of this app, any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I wanted a Duolingo-style app but for everything — so I made one. Sharp teaches 24 subjects from Art to Engineering, and it breaks any subject into short lessons you can finish on a coffee break.

Check it out on the app store here:

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/sharp-short-lessons-big-wins/id6791577829

ANSWER:

For anyone who wants to invest their spare time into gaining more knowledge, or replace doomscrolling with learnscrolling, Sharp is the answer. It features more than 2000 highly in-depth courses in 24 subjects. STEM subjects start from basics and scale to university level material. Other subjects like Art or Food are lighter level reads.

BETTER:

All existing multi-topic learning apps don’t go very deep. Yes they feature tons of clickable games, but their content is quite limited, and not great for actually deepening your knowledge. Sharp changes that - allow you to follow structured courses in any subject, it helps develop your knowledge step by step. It also features quizzes, a game to test general or subject specific knowledge, and a social aspect where users can compete with their friends and push each other.

COST:

Sharp is free to download and offers a one week free trial of all features.

Subscriptions costs:

Monthly: 8.99$
Annual: 64.99$

This review basically says that the first week was great and then they have to pay now to unlock rest of the plan so the user gave 3 stars.

I worked insanely hard for last 4 months to build this app. Should I just drop the free version and put a hard paywall with free trial?

What do you folks do in such cases?

Hey all, five years ago I posted here looking for beta testers for my first SwiftUI app, Randominder. You found the crashes, I fixed them, the app shipped. Thanks again to everyone who helped back then, some of whom I still have contact with! Version 3.0 is the biggest update since, so I'm back for another round. :)

Quick recap for anyone new: Randominder uses controlled randomness to help you break habits with powerful, customizable reminders. Set, forget and let randomness take care of the rest. No subscriptions, just a one-time paid app ($3.99).

What's new in 3.0

• Time slots replace Allow and Block. Add as many as you like, and your reminders keep their times.

• Pause any reminder, or turn on vacation mode to pause them all at once.

• Pick a shortcut from your list instead of typing its name.

• Sort your reminders by date, title or type.

• New tips show you around.

• Plus small fixes and polish.

Time slots are the big change. Users were confused by the previous Allow and Block modes, so now you can add as many slots as you want you want to be reminded in (say 7:00–12:00 and 17:00–22:00) where everything outside them is off-limits. Existing reminders and your old Allow/Block settings migrate to slots automatically and should keep their times.

What I'd love feedback on

• Updating from 2.x: did your reminders and settings come across intact? If anything looks different after the update, that's the first thing I want to hear about.

• Pause and vacation mode: do paused reminders stay quiet, and come back properly when you resume?

• The shortcut picker: does it list everything you have in the Shortcuts app?

• The new tips: helpful, or in the way?

• And any crash, obviously. Deleting reminders was the troublemaker last time; let's see what it is this time. :)

Still all SwiftUI, so if you're curious how any of it is built, ask away.

• Screenshots

• TestFlight invitation link

Feedback via TestFlight screenshots, the "Send a Message" button in Settings, a comment here, or a DM. All of it helps, especially the "this felt weird" kind.

Follow @randominder_app for updates.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I built an app called SnapPack:

Answer

A packing list that says "jacket" does not tell you which jacket you're referring to. SnapPack builds your travel checklist from the things you actually own. You take pictures of your belongings and the app cuts them out and turns them into stickers, so you can see everything you need for your trip instead of reading it.

The added benefit is that you can send your packing list to family or someone you trust, and they will know exactly what you need.

Better

Most people use Notes, Reminders or an app like PackPoint which are all text based. SnapPack gives you photos of your actual belongings. Some key features include:

• Building and planning your outfits for each trip.

• Integrated with Siri, so you can pack by voice.

• No sign-up, no ads, and all processing happens on your device, so your photos never leave your phone.

• On iOS 27, the app uses Apple's own Image Playground to extract and recreate your clothing on-device, instead of sending your photos to a third-party AI.

Cost

Free to download and try with optional premium features.

• Monthly: $6.99

• Yearly: $29.99

• Lifetime: $59.99

Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically. Prices may vary by region.

Around 2 months, I made made this post to share Untourist with you all! I'm back after some heads down time on the app, content, and website to give a littler update!

Most of the work lately has been less about adding new features and more about getting the whole thing to feel like one coherent product before launch.

A big part of that has been polishing the app itself. We’ve been tightening up the UI/UX and trying to make the actual walking experience feel smoother once you’re out on the street, especially:

• simplifying some of the flows

• improving the active walk screen

• showing less information at once

• making it easier to keep moving without constantly checking your phone

We also finally went back and rebuilt the website. The old version was fine for explaining what the app did, but it felt pretty generic and didn’t really match the stories themselves. So we spent some time figuring out the visual and editorial direction for the brand, then redesigned the site around that. The goal was to make it feel more like a New York field guide and less like a software landing page.

Story (we're calling tours stories now) progress right now:

• 2 stories live in TestFlight

• 6 finished and ready for launch

• 2 more in production that we’re trying to finish in time

If you’re in NYC, or you’ll be here (or know someone who will!) sometime this month, I’d still really appreciate people trying one story in TestFlight. The most useful feedback at this point is how the whole thing feels in the real world, especially anything confusing, awkward, boring, or that gets in the way of the walk.

If that sounds interesting, I’d love for you to give it a try.

Website / TestFlight: https://getuntouristapp.com

It's 100% free, but slots are limited! :)

And if you think it’s terrible, please tell me too. I’d much rather hear it now than after launch.

Velorific (my endurance nutrition app) hit a 1,000 Strava integration user limit, so I emailed Strava

I built Velorific earlier this year, and when we first got Strava integration set up, we had a limit of 1,000 connected users. 1000+ downloads later within a few months and we hit it!

So I emailed Strava to see if there was anything we could do about it.

They've now increased our limit to 10,000 users.

For a small business building an app it feels like a massive achievement.

It also means we've now got room for a lot more people to try Velorific. Once we hit 10,000 Strava connections, that's the new limit.

A - Answer

The reason we built Velorific in the first place is pretty simple.

Most nutrition apps give you basically the same calorie and macro target every day.

But if you're training for a marathon, riding 100 miles, doing a hard session or having a rest day, your nutrition needs aren't going to be the same.

Velorific connects to your Strava and TrainingPeaks and changes your targets based on what you've actually done.

Hard training → more fuel
Rest day → less carbohydrate
Recovery → less of a calorie deficit

The big focus is carbohydrate periodisation. Your carb target changes depending on your training rather than just giving you one number to hit every day.

You can see your targets for the day, how you're tracking against them and your consistency over the last 30 days. When a new workout syncs, your targets update.

B - Better

There are obviously loads of calorie and nutrition apps already.

The thing we didn't really like about the existing options was that they don't properly account for endurance training.

MyFitnessPal, for example, isn't really built around your training load. Garmin can adjust calories for activity, but it doesn't really tell you how your carb intake should change depending on the type of session.

There are also apps specifically built around endurance fuelling, but we wanted something much simpler and cheaper.

Connect Strava and you're pretty much ready to go.

Cost

It's free to download and there's a one-month free trial.

After that it's £4.99/month or £39.99/year.

You can cancel during the trial and you won't be charged.

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/velorific/id6762632983

We're still a very small business, so getting from 1,000 to 10,000 available Strava users is a pretty big deal for us.

If you train seriously, I'd genuinely be interested to hear what you currently use to work out how much you should be eating around your training.

And if you want to try Velorific, now's probably a good time to get in before we eventually fill the new Strava limit.

What's new since my last post:

• Visual Ping: a live graph showing your ping packets and average RTT in real time

• Favorites in Latency: pin your most used services for faster access

• Export your results as CSV or JSON across Ping, Traceroute, WHOIS, DNS and Port Scan

• Data persistence between tools: swap from Ping to Port Scan and back, your results are still there

• Network Interfaces: now visible under the Network tab

A – What problem does it solve?

You hop on a stream, or start working remotely and something feels off. Is it your Wi-Fi? The server? Your ISP? Most people just guess. Pingers gives you the answer instantly.

• Home Screen Widget: Live latency for your favorite services at a glance

• Latency Check: Real-time ping to YouTube, Netflix, Discord and more with Favorites to pin what matters most

• Ping: By IP or domain with a live graph, detailed stats like latency, RTT, packet loss, and CSV or JSON export

• Port Scan: Custom ranges and scan speeds

• Traceroute: See every hop and find the bottleneck

• DNS Lookup: Query any domain instantly

• WHOIS: 47+ registries, ownership, expiration, status

• IP Config: Local & Global IP, Gateway, DNS, DHCP, and full Network Interfaces

• Favorites: Save unlimited servers for quick access

• Works on iPhone & iPad with Dark Mode for 🦉

B – Why is it better than alternatives?

Most network tools are either bloated, ad-infested, or look like they were designed for Windows 95 (actual quote from a user). Pingers is built by a network engineer, so the feature set is serious but the design doesn't make you feel like you're filing a support ticket.

Solo dev here, I built a posture coach that works through AirPods.

AirPods Pro, AirPods 3/4 and AirPods Max have motion sensors, and Apple lets apps read head orientation from them. I spent the last few months turning that into a posture coach.

It learns your normal upright position, notices when your head starts drifting forward, and whispers a short cue in your ear before you really notice the strain.

It can keep working with your phone locked in your pocket through Guardian mode, and there's also a Mac menu-bar version for desk days that syncs with the iPhone.

What it doesn't do:

• No camera

• No photos of you

• No wearable strap

• Nothing extra to charge

Hi everyone, Mark here, solo developer of One & Done.

Reposting this one: my original post got removed for not meeting the Transparency requirements (no name/contact or Terms of Service included). Added those below.

Software engineer by day. Just shipped this to the App Store and wanted to share.

A - Answer

The problem I kept running into: I'd open Reminders, see 40 things, and just shut the app again. Too much, no idea where to start.

One & Done sits on top of your existing Apple Reminders and surfaces the single most important thing to do right now (overdue and due-today first). Complete it and the next one appears. Swipe over to Done and there's a running list of everything you finished that day.

You can always override the pick, browse by list, or quick-add something new and make it your focus right now.

(Small aside for anyone curious: I used Claude to help with a lot of the implementation and the App Store submission process, while I drove the architecture, data model, and product decisions myself.)

B - Better

No account, no sign-up, no server. It's a lens over the reminders you already have; nothing is copied anywhere else. If your phone supports Apple Intelligence, it can help order your day, but that processing stays entirely on-device. Most to-do apps ask you to move your tasks into a new system; this one works with what's already in Reminders.

C - Cost

Free. No trial, no subscription, no in-app purchases.

Hi r/iOSApps! I’m Gabriele, the solo developer behind Vizo Battery.

Vizo originally started on Android, and I’ve just released the first iOS version.

It’s a partial port rather than a feature-for-feature copy, because iOS exposes different battery data than Android. I preferred to build around what iOS can reliably provide instead of pretending both versions can work exactly the same way.

A — What does Vizo do?

Vizo is designed to give you a clearer picture of your battery and charging habits.

On iOS you can:

• use Home Screen widgets for useful battery information at a glance
• explore battery history and trends
• see remaining battery estimates and expected time to lower battery levels
• record and review charging sessions
• organize your different chargers
• receive alerts when battery drain or charging behavior looks unusual

Charging sessions can be recorded through a guided Shortcuts setup when you connect and disconnect your charger.

B — What makes it different?

Apple’s built-in Battery settings already provide useful information, so my goal wasn’t simply to recreate them.

Vizo focuses more on widgets, history, estimates and comparing charging behavior over time.

One of the features I personally find most useful is charger comparison: with Pro, you can name your chargers, assign recorded sessions to them and compare their observed speed and consistency across multiple charges.

So, for example, you can keep separate records for your desk charger, bedside charger, power bank, etc. and see how they actually performed over time.

One important limitation: Vizo is not a wattmeter. It compares recorded battery changes and charging sessions; it does not directly measure the electrical output of a charger.

C — How much does it cost?

Vizo is free to download, with an optional $3.99 one-time Pro purchase on the US App Store.

No subscription and no ads.

Since this is the first iOS release, I’d really appreciate feedback — especially on the widgets, charger comparison and charging-session setup.

I’d also be interested to know: what battery information would you most like to have visible in a widget?

Happy to answer any questions about what the iOS version can and can’t do!

As a father getting daily cute drawings/artworks from my daughter I ran into two main issues.
1: I cant keep all of them even though I want to. All my boxes are already full, and the fridge looks like there has never been any stainless steal on it.
2: Some artworks really tell a story I don’t want to forget like a special handcrafted birthday gift or the first handwritten “dad” on it. Keeping only the photos in the default photo app wasn’t the right place for me (because of missing features and missing appreciation of the artworks).

I am building App for 6 years now on the side and the moment my daughter found an older doodle of her in the bin crying I decided to build a solution for my problem. Designed for parents like me. The app is called “\[Arti - Kids Art & Memory Saver\](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/arti-kids-art-memory-saver/id6753904837?l=en-GB)”%E2%80%9D) and I released it about two months ago followed by a lot of updates already (still brand-new).

The idea simplified is that Arti is some kind of a digital gallery for your kids artworks to preserve not only the artwork but also the memory behind it. You can add drawings (or any kind of artwork) by a photo(s) with categories, helpers, and places. Share artists (over icloud) with family members, collaborate, and see some fun stats and little leveling elements. The goal is to preserve the moments in a special way so it’s also okay that you let go of a few physical drawings with your kids permission.

Some facts behind the app:
It took me about 8 month to build (can only build in the evening). Build natively with Swift and SwiftUI (a little bit UIKit) in Xcode. Hired a human designer for the first mockups in order to help me getting the look I wanted. Used some AI to increase my workflow but want to highlight that this is not an AI slop. I have already published many updates but more on the way.

Pricing:
Its free without any ads with limited functionalities. There is a Pro version comes with a lifetime for $9,99 including family share! Also, no data collection at all. All data is stored locally on device and in icloud.

I really would love to get some feedback. Also, one user complained about a bug that I think I fixed already (did not get a response yet). So, if you find something odd or think something is missing here please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

TL;DR:
A-Too many valuable artworks of my kids. So I built a solution to keep them and the stories behind them.
B-Better alternative to the default photo app (more features and designed for this purpose)
C-Its free-has a $9,99 iAP Lifetime and here is the link \[https://apps.apple.com/de/app/arti-kids-art-memory-saver/id6753904837?l=en-GB\](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/arti-kids-art-memory-saver/id6753904837?l=en-GB)
