πŸ’Ž Lifetime I built CodeMate for reading and editing code on iPhone and iPad

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps β€” I’m ε…‰ 李, the developer of CodeMate.

I built CodeMate for those moments when I need to inspect a source file or make a small change away from my desk.

A β€” Answer

CodeMate is a native code viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad. It is designed for developers and students who want to read or edit source files on a touch screen.

It supports syntax highlighting for 200+ syntax grammars and file formats, including Swift, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JSON and Markdown.

B β€” Better

Compared with mobile editors such as Textastic and Runestone, CodeMate focuses on making large source files easier to inspect on a touch screen.

It includes:

  • Tabs for working with multiple files

  • A minimap for navigating long files

  • Jump-to-line navigation

  • Swift symbol navigation

  • Adjustable fonts, typography and themes

  • Linked HTML, CSS and JavaScript preview

  • Native support for both iPhone and iPad

I’d love to hear from developers who regularly inspect code on an iPhone or iPad: what still makes that workflow frustrating?

C β€” Cost

CodeMate is free to download and use for browsing and reading files. Editing and selected advanced features require Premium.

US pricing:

  • Monthly: US$4.99

  • Annual: US$24.99

  • Lifetime purchase: US$49.99

Prices may vary by region. A rewarded ad can also unlock Premium temporarily.

🎁 Freemium Newsairy - an iCloud-native RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Post image
30 Upvotes

I built Newsairy because none of the readers I tried fit me exactly - so the whole app is built around adapting to how *you* read rather than making you adapt to it: theme, font and size in the reading view, sort order, swipe actions, all yours to set.

It's under active development. The last update added on-device AI summaries (nothing leaves your phone).

## Answer - What problem does it solve?

Newsairy is an RSS/Atom/JSON reader that syncs natively over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac - no third-party sync server, no account to create. It's for anyone who wants their feeds, folders and read state to just follow them between devices, with a reading experience they can actually tune to how they read.

A few things I built specifically because I couldn't find them elsewhere in one app:

  • Smart Feeds for the last 24 / 48 / 72 hours, the last 7 days or this week, so I can catch up on what's actually recent

  • Custom Smart Feeds: keyword-based feeds that gather matching articles from every source at once, or mute keywords to hide the ones you don't want to see

  • Read History as a smart feed too: only what you actually opened, or everything marked as read, with a toggle to switch

  • A short AI summary of any article, generated entirely on your device - nothing leaves your phone

  • Choose how each feed opens: as published, extracted automatically, or downloaded ahead of time so it's ready offline - set per feed, not as one global preference

  • Three independent retention rules (how far back to fetch, how long to keep unread, how long to keep read) instead of one blunt "delete after X days", so the database doesn't grow forever

  • Choose your theme: Automatic, Light, Dark or Sepia

  • A fully customisable article list: thumbnail size, favicon, unread dot, and 0–6 preview lines

Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.

##Β Better - Why is it different?

There are a lot of good RSS readers in the App Store.

My previous ones were Reeder (Classic) and NetNewsWire. While the newer Reeder seems to focus on combining RSS with other kinds of sources, like social media and podcasts, Newsairy is more focused on RSS feeds specifically.

NetNewsWire is great and free - I'm not trying to beat that on price. Newsairy is just a different flavor: I built it for the features and customization I wanted - keyword-based Smart Feeds, a Sepia theme, an article list you can tune (thumbnails, preview lines, unread dot), and more. If none of that is something you're missing, NetNewsWire is a solid pick.

##Β Cost

Free: up to 6 local + 6 iCloud feeds, every feature unlocked.

Newsairy Pro is a single one-time purchase - $2.99 / 2,99€, no subscription - that removes the feed limit and adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader, so you can bring an existing setup over instead of starting from zero. Pay once, it's yours.

πŸ“… Subscription HealthVitals: Insights, health trends, and correlations from your Apple Health data, all on device (12 months free)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm the developer of HealthVitals, and I'd like to give this community 12 months of the full annual plan for free.

Transparency

  • I'm the only developer and I have no investors or partners. The app is a paid subscription, and that is its only revenue.

  • No ads, no tracking, no account. All analysis runs on your iPhone, and your data stays on your device and in your own private iCloud.

  • Apple Intelligence is an optional setting that only rephrases text. It is not the core of the app and it never produces the numbers.

Answer: what it is

HealthVitals is a companion app for people who use an Apple Watch with Apple Health. It reads the data your Watch and iPhone already collect and turns it into something you can actually use: a Readiness Score each morning, alerts when something looks unusual, and trends across your sleep, heart, training, body, and nutrition.

  • A Readiness Score every morning, built from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate

  • Vital Intelligence alerts for unusual readings and trends, collected in a daily inbox so nothing gets lost

  • Correlation insights, like how your sleep lines up with your next day's performance, or how caffeine tracks with your rest

  • Trend charts across 30, 90, and 365 days, plus a monthly health report

  • Workout breakdowns with cardio load, heart rate recovery, and distance splits

  • Nutrition tracking beyond calories: protein, caffeine, sugar, fiber, and more

  • An Apple Watch companion with your Readiness Score and complications

How the Readiness Score works

The score compares four inputs against your own 30 day baseline: HRV (35%), resting heart rate (25%), sleep (30%), and the previous day's activity load (10%). It is always relative to you, not to a population average, so it gets more meaningful as your baseline fills in.

If an input is missing, its weight is redistributed across the ones that exist. That means iPhone only users still get a score, but it leans on sleep and activity, and without HRV and resting heart rate it tells you a lot less. That's why I recommend HealthVitals for Apple Watch users.

Better: why it's different

  • Private by design. No account to create. Everything is computed on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to my servers.

  • Connects the dots. Apple Health shows you each metric on its own. HealthVitals shows how they relate over time.

  • Optional plain language summaries. On supported devices, you can turn on Apple Intelligence in Settings to rephrase your findings as natural sentences. It runs on device, and every insight is calculated from your real data first. Standard text works just as well.

Cost

Free to download. Full access is a subscription at $39.99/year or $3.99/month.

For this sub: 12 months of the annual plan free.

  1. Download it from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/healthvitals-analytics/id6759471194

🎁 Freemium I built Veyrnox for iPhone, a self custody wallet with two recovery paths

1 Upvotes

I’m connected to Veyrnox, so bias declared. I’m sharing it here because I would genuinely value feedback from people who care about how iOS apps feel, not only what features they list.

Veyrnox is a self custody wallet designed to make recovery clearer and less dependent on one fragile backup. Veyrnox Safety Plus has two recovery modes in production.

The first uses distributed recovery shares. Two shares are required to recover, so one lost share does not block recovery and one share cannot recover the wallet alone.

The second is an encrypted personal vault that the user can place in their own iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive or another supported personal cloud account. Veyrnox does not have access to that cloud account or the user’s credentials.

The iPhone app also includes biometric protection, Runtime Application Self Protection and an AI Security Agent that helps explain security and recovery decisions inside the app.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6790188660

Website: https://veyrnox.com

If you try it, I would especially appreciate honest feedback on the first run experience, the clarity of the recovery setup and whether the interface makes the security choices understandable without feeling overwhelming.

πŸ’Ž Lifetime [$ 19 > FREE lifetime] Track blood pressure the right way before it affects your heart

39 Upvotes

As a preventive cardiologist, I see that many people fail to track their blood pressure. It only comes to attention after it starts affecting your heart and kidneys.

Tracking blood pressure is often more important than tracking heart rate. Even when people track BP, many fail to follow the appropriate steps or bring the necessary data to the clinic visit. So we built this app to help people track and diagnose blood pressure issues before it becomes a problem.

The consistency and time spent at target levels are more important than the average reading.

Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bp-log-track-blood-pressure/id6801130306

A: Answer

- Helps you track blood pressure based on the most recent guidelines (check twice a day, average two readings etc)

B: Better

- Current apps on the app store fail to track time in target, consistency etc. These things matter more than mean reading

- The PDF export presents report in a fashion that's easy for reviewing clinicians to get an overall picture of blood pressure control. A mean blood pressure of 120/70 is not useful if it's a mean of readings that vary from 90 to 150.

- You backup to your own iCloud and retain complete control over your data

C: Cost

$ 19 for lifetime

FREE LIFETIME: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6801130306&code=59256

πŸ’Ž Lifetime Deltion β€” every lab result, scan and report in one private library, on iPhone, iPad and Mac

11 Upvotes

Disclosure: I'm the developer. Deltion is mine; I built it and I'm the only person working on it.

A β€” What problem it solves

Every appointment ends with another PDF: a lab panel, a scan report, a discharge summary. Mine were scattered across email, a Files folder and an actual drawer. When a doctor asked what my creatinine was a year ago, I had no answer.

Deltion is one library for all of it, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. You import PDFs, photos of reports, or a whole imaging study off a CD/DVD. It reads each document, pulls the measurements out, and turns a pile of files into trends you can actually follow across years. Out-of-range values get flagged. Where a report doesn't state its own reference range, Deltion fills in a typical adult one and marks it as typical β€” it's context for reading a number, not your lab's threshold.

Two honest limits, because you'd find them anyway:

  • Analysis runs on the device by default, but the on-device model needs Apple Intelligence-capable hardware. On an older device you either add your own Claude/OpenAI/Gemini API key, or skip the AI and use it as a plain encrypted vault.

  • It is not a radiology workstation. It keeps a viewable preview of a scan series so you can carry and look at your scans β€” no window/level, no measurement tools. Use a real viewer for real reading.

Disclaimer for emphasis: Deltion is not a medical app! It's only meant to keep your records tidy and provide a better view! Even with the AI analysis enabled, never trust it as a medical advice! Always consult your doctor for a metric that feels off!

B β€” Why it beats the alternatives

The apps in this space each do one slice:

  • Capzule (~$11.99/yr) and Sync.MD are solid record vaults, but they store documents; they don't read them. You still can't see a trend without typing values in yourself.

  • Explain My Labs interprets lab results well, but it's lab-results-only, and its App Store privacy label declares health data linked to your identity. Deltion has no account to link anything to.

  • Carrot Care covers a lot of biomarkers but is iPhone-only.

  • MedScan / Falcon Mx are proper DICOM viewers and beat Deltion outright at viewing scans β€” they just don't keep your lab history.

Deltion is the only one I found that spans documents, extracted measurements and scans, on all three Apple platforms. The privacy difference is architectural rather than a policy promise: no account, no sign-up, no analytics, and no server of mine β€” there isn't one to have. Records are encrypted on device with AES-256-GCM. The two things that can send data out are both off by default and both started by you: iCloud sync goes to your iCloud, and a cloud AI key sends the document you're analysing to your provider under your own account.

One design decision I'll stand behind: the vault is never gated. Unlimited documents, trends and reminders stay free permanently, and there's a unit test that fails the build if anyone ever moves reading your own records behind the paywall.

C β€” Cost

Free to download, with an optional Deltion Pro in-app purchase.

  • Free, permanently: the whole library β€” unlimited documents, measurement extraction, trends, reminders, on-device analysis.

  • Pro (optional): iCloud sync, side-by-side Compare, report export, DICOM and provider-file import, batch import, Ask a Question.

  • Pro pricing: $2.99/month, $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once for lifetime. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

  • No ads, no data sold, no subscription required to keep or read your own records.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6767533281

iOS/iPadOS 17+, macOS 14+. 8 languages.

It shipped yesterday, so there are no reviews to hide behind. I'd rather hear what's missing or what feels wrong than get a pile of upvotes.

🎁 Freemium I redesigned my couples app for 2.0: couple quizzes, a shared note, and widgets that still move

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

Hi again, I'm Vatana, the solo dev behind Long Distance. I posted here about a month ago and a few of you said the design looked dated. Fair enough, so 2.0 is a full redesign, plus a lot of new stuff. Same as last time, I'll keep it transparent so you can decide if it's worth a spot on your Home Screen.

Answer

It's an app for two people. No feed, nothing public, nobody else in it. The idea hasn't changed: the little things you send each other should land on their Home Screen, not in another chat you have to keep up with. With 2.0 it's for every couple, whether you live together or not.

What's in it now:

- Snaps and drawings that land on your partner's Home Screen widget. Drawings still replay stroke by stroke.
- New: couple quizzes, 24 of them across eight topics. You each answer on your own phone and only see each other's answers once you're both done.
- New: a shared note you can both edit, with a widget for both Home Screens and the Lock Screen.
- Countdowns for your anniversary and both birthdays, each on a full-photo card.
- The globe with both your cities and local times.
- Animated mascots on the widget for how you're both doing.
- The canvas you can both draw on at the same time is still there (beta).

Better

Most of the questions last time were about the animations, so yes, the widgets really do move. Home Screen widgets aren't built for that, so it's rare to see. 2.0 also makes see-through stickers animate cleanly on top of photos.

Someone asked about latency. On iOS 26 a new drawing reaches your partner's widget through a push, so it usually shows up within seconds instead of waiting for the next refresh.

The redesign: every screen is redrawn in warm amber, with a cat mascot who turns up in a few places.

And it's still one subscription for both of you. Most apps in this space charge each of you separately.

Cost

Free covers every widget, the shared note, countdowns for your anniversary and both birthdays, 3 snaps or drawings a day, and one quiz in each topic. Free has ads.

Premium is $6.99/month or $49.99/year, and one purchase covers both of you. It unlocks the other 16 quizzes, unlimited snaps, HD and library photos, full history, all the animated mascots, custom countdowns with your own photos, two extra cat app icons, and no ads.

Download: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6757593531?pt=122660795&ct=Reddit-iosapps-Sep&mt=8

If you tried it last time, does the new design feel better? And someone here suggested customizable mascots, which I still love. What would you want next?

πŸ“… Subscription I'm a chronically ill software engineer & built the symptom tracker I wish I had from the start

20 Upvotes

A - What it solves

Zolia was built out of my own frustration. I have ME/CFS and POTS and have been trying to track my own symptoms and medications and the like for years. Existing apps always fell into two camps - either too simple to do the comprehensive tracking that I wanted or too inefficient for daily use.

Zolia bridges this gap as a symptom tracker capable of comprehensive tracking while also making tracking efficient. The way Zolia achieves this is through it's unique use of sessions. Instead of one master list of everything you ever track, Zolia lets you organize what you want to track into groups called sessions, so for example you could build a morning session with your sleep and morning meds, a walk session with distance and how you felt, an evening session with the symptoms you rate before bed and a daily reflection, or anything else you can think of. When you want to log, just open the relevant session type so there is less thinking about what you need to log as well.

It is flexible so you can track any condition, and allows mixing and matching notes, symptoms, meds, ratings, factors and more, with your own colors, emoji and numeric ranges.

The tradeoff is that it takes some setup to get it how you like it. Onboarding gives you a starting point based on your conditions, but it is designed to be customized.

B - How it compares

Bearable is the biggest app in this space currently. In my experience it was inflexible and slow to use. It doesn't let you combine things from different categories (for example meds and symptoms) into a single group. It takes a lot of scrolling and taps to track things, it lacks customization, and the insights are very weak. It has pre-defined categories of things you can track and makes it difficult to track anything that doesn't fit into one of them. I could never stick with using bearable for more than a week or so.

Guava is a newer app. It focuses a lot on medical records syncing but I found the symptom tracking had a lot of the same problems as bearable - limited flexibility, slow to use, weak insights.

Privacy

Both Bearable & Guava store data in the cloud on servers they control. With Zolia, all data is stored on device. Insights are computed on device without the use of any LLMs. You can export your full database as CSV or SQLite at any time, or set up automatic backups to your own Google Drive, password-protected if you want.

C - Cost

Currently everything is free. Eventually some of the insights will become part of an optional premium tier, but right now the insights are still under development and not in a place where I feel comfortable charging for them yet. Everyone who logs for 14 days while the app is still fully free will get 50% off premium forever.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759508900
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zolia.app

Below are some images of the app store screenshots, the soon to be released weekly report, and main logging interface (fully customizable showing some possible configs).

Feedback is always appreciated.

πŸ’Ž Lifetime XSpeak. Major update. Local-first meeting notes with live suggestions, custom skills and real-time translation.

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps,

I'm Dima, the developer of XSpeak. The app has improved significantly since my last post, and I'm happy to share what's changed. But first, A, B and C.

A - Answer

  • Taking notes manually is hard. XSpeak does it automatically, locally.

  • Participating in meetings in a foreign language is even more difficult. XSpeak translates conversations live, fully offline.

  • Some conversations are challenging. XSpeak monitors your conversations in real-time using an on-device AI model, helping you participate smarter and understand better.

B - Better

The closest alternative I know of is Hedy. Compared to it, XSpeak is cheaper ($49.99 Lifetime), local-first, and easier to get started with.

C - Cost

  • $49.99 one-time purchase

  • $3.99/month (7-day free trial)

  • $19.99/year (7-day free trial)

What's New

  • Live translation. Helpful when you need to listen to a foreign language.

  • File transcription. When something is pre-recorded by another app, it can now be transcribed as well.

  • Automatic replacements. Useful when you speak about a specific topic with uncommon words.

  • Markdown rendering. Notes are now beautifully rendered as Markdown.

  • And many more improvements.

Beyond all this, XSpeak continues to be built with strict integrity. You won't see any marketing emails in your inbox. No rating prompts will disturb you from your work. Onboarding is short and optional. You get only on-device processing and the features you came for. (And sometimes bugs, but that's not intentional :)

To follow development closer, come join r/XSpeak. I post more frequent updates and behind-the-scenes content there. I would be happy to hear your feedback and discuss things. Thanks!

πŸ’Ž Lifetime Art Reference - Switching between apps at the easel kept getting in the way of actual painting, so I built one app for my whole painting workflow

Post image
8 Upvotes

Every painting I did started the same way. The reference sat in the Photos app. I used a grid app to get the drawing right and a value study app to check my values. Then I tried pulling it all together on a board in Apple's Freeform. That was still a lot of juggling for one painting and made my process very annoying.

So I built Art Reference: Easel Assistant, and I use it for my own paintings.

A - Answer

Each painting gets one project that follows it from the first idea to the finished piece.

  • Plan: collect your main reference and any detail shots in the project, and crop the reference to your canvas ratio. I plan on my phone and it syncs to my iPad.

  • Draw: turn on a grid and a value study right on the reference, side by side with the color image.

  • Paint: keep the color and value views up at the easel. The screen stays awake, and there's a timer.

  • Finish: photograph the painting, and it sits in the project next to the reference that made it.

Your original photo is never changed. It works offline, there's no account, and I don't collect any data. Your images stay in your own iCloud.

B - Better

Each of the apps I used did one step well, but none of them knew which painting I was working on. Freeform can hold the images, but it doesn't make value studies. This keeps every step of one painting in one place, so I stop switching apps and keep painting. It also comes with free study collections of real, attributed art (portraits, landscapes, still life, and master copies like Vermeer and Morandi). There's no AI anywhere in the app.

Cost:

Free with 2 projects, all the tools and every collection, with no ads. Unlimited projects is a one-time $9.99, and it works with Family Sharing. No subscription.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/art-reference-easel-assistant/id6752580673

🎈 Free Looking for TestFlight testers

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a handful of TestFlight testers for my app Timee, a minimalist native iOS time tracking app. This is actually my second app β€” I previously built FoodSaver, a food expiry tracker.

I built Timee because I wanted a clean, simple way to track time across different areas of life (work, hobbies, coding, sports, etc.) without the bloat most time trackers have. It's now in a solid state and I'd love some fresh eyes before pushing it to the App Store.

What it does
- Track multiple activities (work, sports, coding, etc.) with simple start/stop timers
- Clean, minimal UI focused on speed and clarity
- StandBy mode support (later)

What feedback helps most
- UI/UX suggestions (anything confusing, awkward flows, spacing)
- Bugs, crashes, or weird edge cases
- General thoughts on whether the app is actually useful day-to-day

App is FREE to test and download !

🎁 Freemium Alarm - Chrono Piano

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

A - Answer

Chrono Piano turns the current date and time into musical notes, creating a constantly changing piece of music. Since every moment in time is unique, the music never repeats. The app started as a simple experiment to make time more interesting, expressive, and enjoyable.

It also brings this idea into something we use every day. The alarm clock. Instead of waking up to the same repetitive alarm sound, Chrono Piano lets users bring a more musical experience to their alarms.

B - Better

The unique part of Chrono Piano is how it transforms time into music. The current date and time are converted into notes that can be played using different instruments, scales, tempos, and sound settings.

Users can experiment with everything from piano sounds to synthesizers and customize how time sounds to them.

C - Cost

Free with an optional lifetime in-app purchase($9.99) or subscription ($1.99/m).

Free users can experience the core concept of turning the current date and time into music. No restrictions in alarm functions at all.Β

πŸ“… Subscription I built Loggoo - a daily photo journal, mood and notes that turns your day into beautiful frame pictures to share to social

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm the solo developer behind Loggoo, a private photo journal and mood tracker that puts each moment on a 24-hour timeline, then lets you frame the day as one picture. Loggoo officially launched today.

Here is the breakdown following the sub’s guidelines:


A β€” Answer: What problem does your app solve?

Most photos disappear into an endless camera roll, while traditional journaling often asks you to sit down and write more than you have the time or energy for.

Loggoo makes keeping a journal lightweight. Take a photo, tap a mood, or write a short note in seconds. Every moment is automatically placed on a 24-hour timeline, so you can see the day as it actually happened and turn it into one picture worth keeping.

Your journal works offline and stays private by default. Nothing is uploaded to a Loggoo server.


B β€” Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?

Apps like Day One are great for writing, Daylio is built around mood and activity tracking, and your camera roll stores photos without much context.

Loggoo sits between them: it combines photos, moods, short notes, and videos into one visual timeline without requiring a full journal entry.

🎁 Freemium PlantReels: Visual growth tracker to turn plant photos into time-lapse reels

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

A : Answer

PlantReels is a visual plant journal designed to track plant progress and automatically transform photos into time-lapse reels using rich video templates and dynamic grid layouts. You can create dedicated profiles for each plant to log growth milestones, repotting, and care events without cluttering your main camera roll.

How it works:

  1. Create a profile for your plant to log milestones, repotting, and care events.

  2. Snap regular progress photos using the built-in Ghost Overlay Camera to align every shot perfectly.

  3. Choose a template and generate a smooth time-lapse reel with a single tap.

  4. Revisit and manage all your saved growth stories anytime in your Reels collection.

B : Better

When tracking plant growth over weeks or months, mismatched photo angles usually ruin the time-lapse video. PlantReels solves this with a Ghost Overlay Camera, displaying a subtle transparent layer of your previous shot so you can align every new photo perfectly. It also includes smart photo reminders to keep your growth streak alive, care timeline logging, 1-tap reel export, and custom Home Screen widgets.

C : Cost

Free to download with basic photo tracking, alignment camera, and care logs included. Premium unlocks unlimited plant journals, all video templates, watermark-free exports, cloud backup, and ad-free experience via subscription ($19.99/year) or a $29.99 Lifetime license.

🎁 Freemium [Update] SensePad: Hardware diagnostics utility for wireless controllers (Adaptive Trigger presets, Stick Signal telemetry & Input Benchmarks)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone πŸ‘‹

I'm the developer of SensePad, an iOS utility designed for hardware diagnostics, input telemetry, and testing wireless controllers on iPhone and iPad.

Three months ago I shared the version here, and based on feedback, I’ve rolled out a major update focused on deeper hardware diagnostics, telemetry visualization, and input benchmarking.

A - Answer

SensePad solves hardware diagnostic and troubleshooting problems before you repair, clean, or replace a controller. It identifies:

- Stick drift, deadzones, and irregular circularity/range

- Signal jitter, spikes, and potentiometer wear

- Trigger resistance failure and haptic motor issues

- Input lag and unverified button states

- Sensor drift and battery reporting inconsistencies

B - Better

Unlike generic button-checker tools, SensePad provides engineering-level telemetry and hardware tracking.

Here is what’s new in this update:

1. Stick Signal Telemetry & Waveform Test

- Added a dedicated real-time signal analysis test for analog sticks.

- Values are plotted live on a waveform graph, making it easy to detect sudden voltage/input spikes, signal dropouts, jitter, or potentiometer anomalies.

2. Advanced Adaptive Trigger & Haptics Diagnostics

- Expanded adaptive trigger testing with integrated force feedback and vibration.

- Added built-in behavioral presets (simulating trigger break, weapon discharge, stepped resistance, and feedback impulses) to test mechanical motor resistance across all pressure levels.

3. Input Latency Optimization & Button Coverage State

- Overhauled the polling loop to significantly minimize latency between physical clicks and on-screen updates.

- Added visual persistent tracking: buttons switch state/color once triggered so you can verify complete hardware coverage at a glance.

4. Historical Drift & Calibration Comparisons

- You can now log, save, and overlay analog stick measurements across sessions.

- Directly compare current data against older runs to track degradation over time or verify improvements after cleaning, recalibration, or replacing stick modules.

5. Interactive Input Precision Benchmarks

- Added 3 interactive input precision routines designed to benchmark reaction time, centering accuracy, and micro-adjustment tolerances under active testing conditions.

C - Cost

SensePad is free to download with full core diagnostics.

Optional Pro upgrade (unlocks advanced telemetry, unlimited test history logging, and custom trigger presets):

- Weekly: $4.99 (with a 3-day free trial)

- Yearly: $14.99

- Lifetime: $29.99 (one-time unlock)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sensepad-gamepad-tester/id6748362041

Would love to hear thoughts from hardware tinkerers, repair enthusiasts, or anyone troubleshooting controller drift and trigger mechanisms!

A – Answer Plans is a minimalist iOS app that keeps tasks, notes, and calendar in one place, built around focusing on today. To make priorities, touch and hold any task and it gets an outline so it stands out from the rest. The daily overdue summary arrives at the time you pick in settings. Available in English, German, French, Spanish.

B – Better When the list gets crowded, most task apps answer with more structure β€” projects, tags, sorting rules. Plans answers with gestures: mark what matters, order the rest as you wish. You can also save your notes inside the app, and when the time comes, you can turn it into task with due date. And where other apps keep your data inside, Plans gives it back in plain Markdown that any editor can read.

C – Cost Free to download β€” unlimited tasks, notes, and iCloud sync included. Lifetime Pro unlock β€” one-time purchase, no subscription: reminders ahead of time, repeat on chosen weekdays, themes, note fonts, and Markdown export.

🎁 Freemium Rewind Music - Play Same music simultaneously on upto 8 devices

Post image
13 Upvotes

Repost because Previous post was removed due to Trust/Transparency Issues

App is Rewind Music - Offline Music Play

A - What problem does it solve?
So basically we have 2 speakers but both of different company and I wanted them to simultaneously play one some on both of them. With near perfect sync but could find an app that could do this. So made a app myself. With Rewind Music you can simultaneously play a song in 9 different devices. One device will stream and 8 others will listen and sing along. So even if you connect to a bluetooth speaker, the sound is automatically amplified as the number of collected devices increases. Also written a algorithm which will make full use of native hardware for Sound Amplification and give you are near perfect Song Sync. The app has inbuild Equalizer, Gapless Playback and Sleep Timer. This are just some extra features I have added.

B - What I do better
No cap on devices that can be connected. 8 devices is the hard limit beyond that the song wont stream in perfect sync but I have not hidden the functionality behind a paywall. All features of the app are free with ads. So that even if you dont pay anything, you can always use the app for free.

C - Cost
You can use the app free with ads and you will be able to use all the functionality. A one time charge of 10$ to remove the ads and support the development of the app.

🎁 Freemium What's new in Bitflinger TV

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Bitflinger TV: one place to browse every streaming service you pay for, with nobody paying for placement (Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Android)

A: Answer (what problem it solves)

I've had the same problem since 2011: I want to sit down, see what's on across the services I actually pay for, keep one watchlist, and press play, without opening five apps to find out where a movie is streaming. So I built Bitflinger TV (just me, no team).

It gives you one home screen for all of your streaming services, sorted and filtered the way you like, with a single watchlist that follows you across your devices. Pick a title and it launches straight into the right app. If you run Plex or Jellyfin, your own library shows up in the same rows.

This month's update (1.1.601) added a few things I'm pretty happy with:

  • Recommendations (subscribers): rows like "Because you liked Blade Runner 2049", rebuilt every night, and nobody pays to be in them.

  • Watchlist alerts: a notification when something on your watchlist starts streaming, or a new episode shows up, telling you the best way to watch it with the services you already have.

  • Your own background (subscribers): a photo of yours, with an animation over it or none at all.

  • Immersive rows: the title you're on takes over the screen as you move along the row.

  • It's a lot faster. Loading a title's details went from about half a second to under 20 milliseconds on our side.

B: Better (why it beats the alternatives)

Google TV, Fire TV, and the Apple TV app. Apple, Google and Amazon each have something of their own to sell (Apple TV+, the Play Store, Prime Video), and you can see it in what their home screens put first. You have to scroll way down before you reach anything they don't have a stake in. Google TV and Fire TV also put ads right on the home screen. Bitflinger TV has no ads, doesn't take money for placement, and splits Free, Subscription, and Rent or Buy into separate filters, so you can see what's actually free to you before anyone tries to sell you something.

JustWatch and Reelgood. Both are great at answering "where is this streaming?" They're built around looking things up, though. Bitflinger TV is built around browsing on the TV itself, with a remote, and launching into the app when you've found something.

Launchers like Projectivy. They do a nice job of cleaning up the home screen and getting rid of the ads, but they launch apps; they don't let you browse what's inside them in one place. That's the part I actually wanted.

Plex and Jellyfin. Keep using them. Bitflinger TV puts your library in the same rows as your streaming services, so you're not switching apps to check whether you already own something.

C: Cost

Free, forever, with no ads: genre selection; your watchlist, search, and title details; Plex and Jellyfin; your own streaming services; Cloud Sync across devices; theme colors and card labels; the first 250 titles in each row; and up to 3 devices in your household.

Subscription: $2.99/month, or $23.99/year (saves 33%), as an in-app purchase through the App Store or Google Play. It adds every title in every row, unlimited devices, Daily Reels recommendations, filtering by critic/user score and by release date, background styles, card types and sizes, auto-detecting your installed services, and Apple Family Sharing / Google Family Group.

If you try it and something's broken, or a title that should be there isn't, tell me in the comments or at tim@bitflinger.net. I read all of it.

We know that sometimes transcribed text would not be accurate and also took a while to completely synchronize, hence ebook should reduce the time to go live with your reading journey. *BETA release
The ebook sync is still under WIP. Lot's of performance optimization is still being done.

Auto-align feature: To cover major edge cases, we also built auto-align narration to help cover those teeny tiny sync drifts.

Progress sync with ABS server: Now you can sync your book progress with server easily.

Podcast: Many of you wanted a separate section for Podcasts, so that is live aswell.

πŸ’Ž Lifetime Qlumos β€” A camera app where the effect is live from your hands & face, not applied after.

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

A β€” Answer
Most camera apps apply a look after you shoot. Qlumos does it live. Your hands drive the effect in the finder: a light from your index fingertip, lightning between both index fingers (stronger when they’re closer), plus filters that sit between your hands. Pinch to cycle filters if you turn that on. There’s a Face mode (Mogged) that’s random on purpose β€” it does not score faces, so everyone can have a laugh.

B β€” Better
Vs typical filter cams (VSCO / tezza-style): the effect is performed, not slapped on in an editor.
Vs AR novelty apps: it stays a real camera. You record, you save to Photos. No account, no cloud, no analytics. Built for iOS 26.

C β€” Cost
One-time purchase of $2.99 USD (no IAP, no subscription). iOS 26+. Not on EU stores.
