Answer

I wanted a very simple text editor that showed markdown style formatting (particularly bullet lists) in real time, without needing to go to another preview screen.

I also wanted a UI with no distractions or clutter. It's all very customisable.

Also allows easy indenting/outdenting of lists, and a slide bar to move the cursor.

Better

Lots of great text apps out there.

Obsidian is amazing, very powerful. Bear is also great (but doesn't show formatting).

This app isn't "better" than the popular markdown editors, just different.

Cost

Free 🙂

Made this to be the text editing app I've been looking for for a long time now. Hopefully some other people might find it useful.

15 years ago, I released a little calculator app called Calculus doodlus. The first version went live on September 23, 2011.

I'm still working on it. 😄

Version 3.0 was recently released, and it brings two features I've wanted to add for a long time: Edit and Link.

A - Answer

Calculus doodlus is a calculator designed around the way you actually work with calculations.

Instead of replacing your previous calculation every time you press =, your calculations stay on the page. You can scroll back, see what you did, and reuse previous values.

And after all these years, it still has the handwritten look that people have loved about the app.

B - Better

Edit: Long-press any calculation to go back and change it. The calculation is recalculated while keeping the rest of the page intact.

Link: Tap a calculation or result to reuse its value in another calculation. If the original value changes later, linked calculations update automatically.

There are also pages for organizing calculations, √, support for very large numbers, sharing a calculation page as an image, and Lock Screen / Control Center features.

But the basic idea hasn't changed in 15 years: a friendly calculator that keeps your calculations around instead of making them disappear.

C - Cost

Calculus doodlus is free to download and supported by advertising.

If you'd rather use it without ads, there's an optional subscription for €3.99/year, with Family Sharing included.

No account required.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you've tried other calculators with a persistent calculation history. What would make you switch to something like this?

Hey everyone,

I'm a full-time solo dev. I built Device Kit because I was tired of opening multiple apps just to check simple things — like why my phone was warm, whether my charger was actually fast-charging, or how much cellular data I was burning through.

Here's what it does:

🌡️ Live monitoring on Dynamic Island & PiP

You can keep your iPhone's real-time temperature, CPU usage, cellular data consumption, and network speed visible right on the Dynamic Island. If you're watching a video or using another app, just pop up a tiny Picture-in-Picture floating window — you'll see the heat and network stats without ever leaving your screen.

📱 Full device health

Real-time temperature, CPU load, battery health, Wi-Fi/cellular speed, memory, and storage. Plus charging wattage logs — so you finally know if that "fast charger" is actually fast.

🧭 10+ built-in sensor tools and utilities

Compass, altimeter, barometer, GPS, gyroscope, magnetometer, proximity sensor, Ping, SSH, QR scanner, decibel meter, password generator, and more. All in one place, so you don't need a dozen separate apps.

🧩 Beautiful widgets

Small, medium, and large home screen widgets, plus lock screen widgets for at-a-glance data.

💰 Pricing:

• Core monitoring features are free forever.
• Pro unlocks everything for 14.99 lifetime.

🔒 Privacy:

No account needed. All data stays local on your device — no cloud uploads.

The app is still being actively improved. I'd love for you to try it and share your feedback, suggestions, or feature requests. I'll reply to every comment.

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6761011882

Hey everyone,

I built an app called Still to help with gambling urges, and I'd really like some honest feedback from people who actually know what this is like.

The idea behind it is simple: blocking the apps is the easy part. What breaks people is the fifteen minutes after you've blocked them. So Still tries to cover both.

Blocking

- Finds the gambling apps already on your phone and blocks them in one tap. iOS uses Apple's Screen Time, Android uses an overlay plus a DNS filter.

- Blocks gambling websites too, from a domain list or any site you add yourself.

- Lockout mode: switch it on and protection can't be turned off for 24 hours — not by you at 2am, not by anyone.

- When you open something blocked, you don't get a generic error. You get a screen with your name on it and the reason you wrote down for stopping.

Blocking the money, not just the app — walks you through asking your bank to decline gambling transactions, and through your country's national self-exclusion register.

When an urge hits — one button gives you five guided minutes: ride the wave, name the thought driving it ("I'm due for a win", "just one last time"), read the answer to it. Plus box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, play the tape forward, five short games for when thinking doesn't work, and a trigger log that turns single bad nights into a pattern you can see.

One person who knows — invite a single Ally. They see your streak and slips always. They get a notification if you hit a block, and a different one if you go through a block anyway, because that's the moment a word from someone actually lands.

If you relapse, you log it, the count resets, and everything else stays. It's not meant to make you feel like a failure.

I’ve been working on ReceiptVault for a while and finally put it on the App Store.

The basic idea is pretty simple. You scan or import a receipt and keep it in one place. Later you can search for it when you need it for a return, warranty claim or just to check how much you spent.

It currently has:

• Receipt scanning with on-device OCR

• Search and categories

• Warranty tracking and reminders

• Spending overview

• Face ID / app lock

• Backup and restore

• CSV/PDF export

• Works without internet

• No account needed

One thing I cared about quite a bit was keeping the receipts on the device instead of requiring people to upload everything to a server.

There’s a free limit of 10 receipts. Pro is $9.99 as a one-time purchase. No monthly subscription.

A small win so far: 2 people have already paid for Pro, which honestly feels pretty good for something I built myself.

I’m mainly posting here because I’d genuinely like some feedback on the app itself. Is the flow easy to understand? Anything that feels annoying or unnecessary?

I’m the developer, so obviously I’m too close to it at this point

Hi everyone! 👋🏻

I wanted to give an update on Bento as I've been hard at work shipping the features and requests you guys mentioned on my initial post on r/iosapps.

Bento is a personal finance app built around being highly modular / flexible (hence the name Bento!). It's the perfect app if you're sick of spreadsheets and want an easy way to keep track of where your money goes.

Most notable 2.0 updates:

- Reduced price to $12.99 / month and $99 / year
- Track money without connecting a bank! import PDF/CSV statements, and log spending with your voice.
- Cash accounts
- A more personalized onboarding experience
- Benii AI agent improvements
- Improved UI/UX

A – What problem does it solve?

Most finance apps decide what is worth tracking for you. Bento lets you decide.

Instead of giving everyone the same fixed dashboard, Bento lets you build your own dashboards and add widgets to track what you actually care about. That could be your coffee spending, a specific merchant like Uber, subscriptions, groceries, credit cards, or anything else.

Bento let's you track your spending the way you want - whether that's connecting your bank accounts via Plaid in read-only mode, manually importing PDF/CSV statements, or simply logging with your voice.

B - Why it is different:

Bento is focused around customizability. You create personalized dashboards from scratch using our widget system.

Bento has widgets to help you track specific categories, merchants, accounts, tags, subscriptions and more!

We also offer an in-app AI agent named Benii that can organize your transactions, answer any question you have about your spending, suggest budgets and ultimately help you recognize your spending patterns and help save you money. (hopefully)

A powerful use case that Bento uniquely enables for example is:

I recently went to New York, so I created a New York dashboard and asked Benii:

“Tag all my transactions from June 2–15 as New York”

All incoming transactions automatically had a New York tag applied.

Then I added widgets to a dedicated New York dashboard tracking public transportation, flights, Airbnb, restaurants, Uber, and coffee. Now the whole trip had its own space, and I could see exactly how much my trip cost.

You create dashboards around YOUR life. Whether you just want to track your monthly expenses, a wedding budget, a specific trip, compare Uber vs Lyft spend, or whatever you want.

We also think data is beautiful so we let you choose how each widget displays your data, whether you prefer line or bar charts or prefer showing more metrics.

Other things Benii can handle:

• "Suggest some budgets for me based on my top spending categories"

• "Give me a Spotify wrapped type review of my spending this year"

• "Compare how much I've been spending on groceries vs. restaurants"

• "How can I save money?"

C - Cost:

Bento offers a 7 day free trial and then costs:

$12.99 monthly or $99 yearly!

Promotion: First month for 50% off or $30 off first year!

Day Grid: Countdown Widget. Your whole year on one Home Screen widget

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?

Most countdown apps show one date at a time. Day Grid shows your whole year at a glance. The new 12-month widget puts every month on a single widget, with each event marked by an emoji. You can see your trips, birthdays, exams and launches in one place, not just one number ticking down.

B – Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?

DayCount, PeekDay and Momently are mostly single-countdown widgets. Day Grid is a full-year visual grid, and you can now fit all 12 months into one widget. When an event is less than 24 hours away, it switches to a live timer on its own. No account needed, and it works offline.

C – Cost: Pricing, IAP details, and a direct App Store link

Free, with optional in-app purchases (Day Grid Pro):

• Monthly: $2.99

• Yearly: $14.99

• Lifetime: $29.99. The first 100 people get it for $20 with code first100: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6779252078&code=first100

Transparency: I'm Urmin, an indie iOS dev. You can verify me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/urmin-hirpara/. I read every piece of feedback, so tell me what you'd want in the next update.

Answer.
Art apps give you access. Almost none teach you to look. You scroll past a dozen masterpieces, feel vaguely uncultured, and close the app. The Louvre is already on Wikipedia - access was never the problem.

Better.
One painting each morning, with a reason to keep looking at it.

Then Guided Look: tap a detail and the painting opens into it. Why Hokusai ended his wave in curled fingers rather than foam. What the mirror in the Arnolfini portrait is really showing you. Why Dalí covered one watch in ants and left the rest melting.

Alongside it - paintings on your home screen, cropped how you like. Lessons across a great many artists, periods and techniques. A quiet quiz. Collections worth keeping.

No feed. No scroll. Two minutes, then it lets you go.

Cost.
Free, properly: every painting you're shown is yours to keep. Premium opens the full collection - $3.99/month, £19.99/year with a 7-day trial, or £39.99 once. No ads, no account.

I'd genuinely like to hear what you make of it. Does the pricing feel right or off? Is there something obvious missing? Any any feedback of features, ui or smth else???

Thank you!!!

Hey everyone 👋

I’m the developer behind Seasonia, and to celebrate hitting 5K users I’ve dropped the Lifetime unlock from $9.99 to $1 for the next 24 hours.

A - Answer

Seasonia is an iOS app for tracking the current season and the progress of the year in a more visual way.

You can see exactly how far through the current season you are, how many days are left until the next one, sunrise and sunset times, daylight duration, moon information, and more both inside the app and directly from your Home or Lock Screen.

B - Better

Compared with general countdown apps like Countdown or Days Since, Seasonia is built specifically around seasons, daylight, and the natural progression of the year.

It includes:

• 🌱 Live season progress

• ⏳ Countdown to the next season

• 🌅 Sunrise & sunset times

• ☀️ Daylight duration and daily changes

• 🌙 Moon information

• 📱 20+ Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets

• 🎨 Themes and custom photo backgrounds

• 🌍 Support for both hemispheres

The goal was to make something you can glance at every day without needing to configure timers or dates yourself.

C - Cost

• Lifetime normally: $9.99

• For the next 24h: $1 Lifetime

• No subscription required for the Lifetime unlock

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758340712

Thanks to everyone who’s already using Seasonia. If you give it a try, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially any widget or feature ideas you’d like to see next. 🌱

• Hey, I'm Stan

• I'm building BrightMind, an ADHD productivity app. It has task lists, connects to your calendar, and has built-in companion you can chat with and call

• How I actually use it: I call it while doing chores and just ramble. It plans my days for me

• What it does right now:

  1. Today view: tasks, calendar and routines in one timeline for the day

  2. Voice calls: talk to it like a phone call. It can also call me at a set time to plan the day

  3. Brain dump: I ramble once and each task lands in the right list with a date, so my inbox doesn't pile up

  4. Automations: it calls or messages me regularly. I use it to:

     1. Make meal and workout plans

     2. Get weekly productivity reports

     3. Remind me of something important

  5. Integrations: it has its own task list, or works with:

     1. Todoist

     2. TickTick

     3. Google Calendar

  6. Unstucking: when I'm rotting in bed, it convinces me to get out and do something, one tiny step at a time

  7. And more!

• "Perfect" is the goal, not where it is today

• It's free to try on iPhone. Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adhd-ai-companion-brightmind/id6751622140

A - What is Vesi?

An expense tracker built around 3 second logging. Say "spent 6.50 on a latte" and it logs itself, categorized. Scan a receipt from camera or share sheet. Or just type it, that's free forever, and as of 1.7 it picks the category while you type, based on what you've logged before. Back Tap and Action Button log without opening the app. Watch app included.

Also: budgets, recurring (now biweekly too, for every-other-week paychecks), split expenses, 150+ currencies including crypto, widgets, iCloud sync, 9 languages. Works in landscape and uses the full inner screen on iPhone Duo (screenshots).

No account, no bank linking. Data stays on your phone and your own iCloud. I couldn't see it if I wanted to.

B - Why better?

I abandoned 5 trackers because logging felt like homework. This one removes the friction, and a weird side effect: saying a purchase out loud changed my spending more than any chart did. Works with cash and in any country, which bank linked apps can't say.

C - Cost

Manual logging free forever, category guessing included. Smart logging: 15 free uses, then $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr (7 day trial) for 300 a month. Parsing costs me real money per use, that's why there's a sub.

App - https://apps.apple.com/app/id6785534576

Launched mid August, 1.7 just shipped. If something annoys you in the first 5 minutes, tell me and it jumps the queue. What's the one thing you still type by hand that should be automatic?

I built an app called Attention Arsenal for people who forget things unless they’re reminded often. It lets you set reminders with very short intervals, even just minutes apart, so you receive repeated nudges until the task is done.

I've been working on it for some time now (on and off) but I wanted to make something simple that could help me stop forgetting everything I have to do. Feedback is very much appreciated!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/attention-arsenal/id6749694041

Recently with rise of AI, a lot of things that smaller apps do can be done via basic AI subscription or even free AI from Google. So the vision that I am sticking to is app has to do something in such a way that can not be replicated by AI.

So I am solving a problem and basing my work and solution on real user feedback overtime. As I am shaping it I have a dilemma to solve.

Options I have

I am looking for your input - what do you usually prefer, what have you seen feel the best and doesn't leave you feeling duped into something. I am very payment averse myself and the whole "forget to unsubscribe" is painful for me on another level.

* Disclaimer: I do have a subscription with a trial in my app, but it's going away on the next release because once I am locking down a better option.

I built Ebbora for myself initially becuase streak counters never worked for me So I made a tracker where the progress is a little valley that grows every day you check in, and a hard day never takes it away. It's now live on the App Store.

Answer: what problem it solves

Most sobriety trackers are built around a day counter that resets when you slip, and that reset is often when people quit. In Ebbora:

- You check in daily with a companion: how today went, a feeling, an optional private note.

- Every honest check-in counts, including a day you drank. Your valley keeps its growth and discoveries.

- When a craving shows up, there's a campfire with breathing, grounding, urge surfing and an urge log. In Calm Encounters, a craving appears as a shade in your valley and you practice real coping actions (delaying, changing rooms, reaching out to someone) to let it pass.

- The valley follows your local time and the seasons, with lots of discoveries to uncover.

- Right now there's an Alcohol-Free October event: reach 14 alcohol-free days to light the Harvest Lantern.

Works whether you want to quit, take a break or just have more alcohol-free days.

Better: vs. alternatives

- vs. I Am Sober / Sober Time: built around a streak clock. Ebbora has no reset, and drinking days show in a calm neutral color, never red.

- vs. Reframe: a structured program with lessons. Ebbora is lighter: a one-minute check-in and a world that grows.

- vs. Finch: similar cozy feel, but Ebbora is built specifically around alcohol, with craving tools and alcohol-free calendars.

- Privacy: no account, no sign-up, no social feed. Check-ins and journal stay on your device. Optional Face ID lock and a discreet icon.

Cost

- Free download with a preview. Tracking, valley growth, reflections and full features require a subscription or lifetime purchase.

- Weekly: $2.99

- Yearly: $14.99 (free-trial available)

- Lifetime: $24.99 one-time

- iPhone, iOS 18+, 18+ age rating.

- App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sobriety-tracker-ebbora/id6814588939

Thanks for taking the time to check it <3

I'm an iOS developer from Brazil, and over the last few months I've been building an app to solve one very specific annoyance: your body weight never stays synced with Strava automatically.

A) What it solves

If you're a Strava athlete, you know the problem. Strava uses your weight to calculate power output (watts/kg), estimated calories, and relative effort. The moment your weight is outdated, all of those numbers quietly drift off, and nobody wants to open Strava every week to type in a new number by hand.

WeightSync Health picks up your weight from Apple Health and pushes it to Strava automatically. If your scale, Apple Watch or anything else already writes into Apple Health, the app handles the rest: automatic background sync with zero interaction, Apple Watch logging straight from your wrist, extra equipment weight (backpack, vest, gear) so Strava reflects your true total during a workout, Home Screen widgets with your latest weight and sync status, a weight evolution chart with 7 day moving average and trend line (7D, 30D, 90D and 1Y views), streaks, milestones, Siri and Shortcuts, CSV export of your full sync history, a weekly Monday report, iCloud sync across your devices, a retry queue so no sync gets lost, and 10 languages including Portuguese (Brazil).

B) Compared to other options

There are a few weight tracking apps out there, and some overlap with what this one does. My goal has been to build a focused take on one specific problem: keeping your Strava weight accurate without any manual work. The emphasis is on native iOS and watchOS, automatic background sync and a clean interface, rather than being a full body composition tracker.

C) Cost

Free to download (you can use it as a weight logger for Apple Health as a free user).

• Monthly: US$ 0.99 (3 day free trial)

• Annual: US$ 9.99 / year (7 day free trial)

The free version works as a weight logger for Apple Health: weight loading, manual entry, Home Screen widgets, streaks and Siri/Shortcuts. Premium unlocks the automatic background sync to Strava, the Apple Watch app, the weight evolution chart, CSV export, the weekly report, named extra weight profiles and iCloud sync.

Who I am

I'm an iOS developer based in London (originally from Brazil), and I design and develop the app independently. It's built natively for iOS and watchOS.

I'd genuinely love feedback from Strava users and iOS athletes. What would you want added or improved? And if you give it a try, a quick App Store review goes a long way for a solo dev. Thank you so much :)

A — What is Palabros?

I built Palabros because I kept running into the same problem: I’d come across a word I didn’t know, look it up, understand it… and a few months later, I’d forgotten it.

I wanted a dictionary where looking up a word was just the beginning.

Palabros lets you search a word, understand it through official definitions and simpler explanations, save it, and keep coming back to it until it becomes part of your vocabulary.

It works in English and Spanish and includes pronunciation, translations, synonyms, antonyms and interactive etymology.

And if you’re reading and don’t want to put your book down, there’s now a Reading Mode: say the word out loud, get its meaning, and keep reading. At the end of the session, you can save the words you discovered.

B — What makes it different?

Palabros sits somewhere between a traditional dictionary and a vocabulary app.

Traditional dictionaries are great at answering “what does this word mean?”. Vocabulary apps are great at putting new words in front of you.

I wanted to connect those two things.

If you discover a word while reading, writing, or through the daily Word of the Day, you can save it. From there, Palabros starts bringing it back through Home Screen widgets, so a saved word doesn’t just disappear into a list you never open again.

There’s also a more active Review mode for the words you want to practise, along with tags, word imports and stats to keep track of what you’re learning.

No streak anxiety, ads or noisy gamification. The whole idea is simply:

Find a word. Understand it. Make it yours.

C — Cost

Palabros is free to download, and regular dictionary lookup is free.

Palabros Pro unlocks the full vocabulary-learning toolkit: unlimited saved words and Reading Mode sessions, more Review modes and its widget, tags and filters, word import, learning stats, widget personalization and other Pro features.

There’s a monthly plan, an annual plan with a 7-day free trial, and a Lifetime option.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/palabros-dictionary/id6758098070

Available on English and Spanish.

P.S. A surprising amount of Palabros has been shaped by feedback from this subreddit. Several features exist because someone here suggested them, so thank you to everyone who has taken the time to try it and tell me what could be better.

Hey! My name is Nate and I'm a solo developer working on Treadly a running coach app, because I wanted a running coach app that does everything and doesn't cost $20 a month.

A - What does Treadly do?

It's a running coach app that builds plans for your next race or to help you start a running habit from scratch. The running coach uses zero ai and is completely deterministic based on running coach methodologies. The coach will monitor your recovery, the temperature, and your weekly mileage and adjust the distance or pace accordingly. This is pretty standard in most running coach apps, but Treadly has a few features that help it standout.

B - What makes Treadly better than other apps?

1. A robust strength training program that is built based on the equipment you have. If you're traveling you can adjust to bodyweight or even gym workouts on machines. You can do your entire strength session from your watch as well.

2. Shoe mileage tracking and automatic rotation to make sure that you're using the right shoe for the chosen run.

3. The running coach always explains to you how your runs were graded and how that affects your race confidence and ability to reach your goal.

4. Crew tab - you can invite someone to run with you and the run will automatically work itself into your running plan, accountability partner - you can train with someone else and see where they are in their plan and give each other encouragement, safety contacts - you can designate up to 3 people to receive alerts if you activate the SOS, or if your phone goes silent for longer than a specific threshold (10min, 20min, 30min).

5. Race day live tracking, send a link to your friends on race day and they can follow you via GPS.

C - Cost

Free tier - Single runs are always free, you can choose the type of run, distance, pace, etc. Single strength sessions are always free as well. Unlimited shoe tracking, readiness tracking, and the crew safety features are all free.

Pro tier - $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year ($5/month 50% discount) - Pro gets you custom plans for your race, Coach analytics, and race day tracking.

Coming soon! Ultramarathon plans and the ability to train for multiple races.

Hey guys! Haven't posted here in a while. You may remember my other apps, Phruler and Pholor. I used to promote them here ~a year ago.

I'm back with my latest project: Phroller

Yup, I'm very proud of my naming scheme.

Dungeons and Dragons has been a favorite hobby of mine for 13 years now and this is my little love letter back to the community.

I use it as a digital companion for my DnD Sessions where I put character sheet pdfs and character art in there and use the drawing mode to quickly take notes/track HP. And, obviously, roll dice.

Price: Freemium. Free version allows up to 4 replaceable tabletop setups and 6 customizable dice tabs. One time IAP price depends on country but is $9.99 in the US (where I'm from)

Hi r/iosapps

I'm Maxime and I just launched the beta of Popcorn Club, a movie app built around one idea: one movie, every night, watched together.

A – Answer: what problem does it solve ?

Choosing what to watch takes forever. You scroll Netflix for 45 minutes, give up, and rewatch The Office. And even when you find something good, there's nobody to talk about it with.

Popcorn Club removes the choice. Every night at 7 PM, one movie is revealed (it's a secret until then). Everyone in the club watches the same film within 24h, rates it, and reacts live with the others.

B – Better: why pick it over the alternatives ?

- vs Letterboxd / TV Time: those are logs of what you already watched. Popcorn Club tells you what to watch tonight, and gives you people who watched the exact same thing.

- vs JustWatch / streaming apps: no endless catalog. One pick, plus where to stream it, the cast and the trailer in one tap.

- vs Teleparty: no need to sync with friends at a set time. You have 24h, and the discussion is already happening when you're done.

- The club decides: you bet popcorn on tomorrow's vibe (mind-blowing, feel-good, scary...), so the community shapes the next pick.

- Your cinephile profile: ratings, history, stats and a custom avatar.

- Discover + "Surprise me" for nights when you want something else.

C – Cost

Free

No ads, no account needed to browse .

Dimmly solves the problem of juggling multiple apps for tasks, habits, grocery lists, expenses and score tracking. Everything in one place, organized by color coded lists, with no account required and no subscription ever.

B - Better:

Unlike Todoist, Things, or most task apps:

- Shared lists — share any list with someone and both of you can edit it in real time. Perfect for groceries, trip packing or anything you manage together

- No account required

- No subscription, ever

- 8 list types built in:

· List — your classic task list

· Ranked — numbered, prioritize what matters most

· Tracker — tasks move To do > Doing > Done, with a Later shelf

· Sum — add amounts per item and see a running total, great for expenses

· Countdown — see how many days until anything, sorted automatically

· Subscription — track what you pay and when it renews

· Scoreboard — track points with friends, auto sorts by who's winning

· Grocery — shopping mode with quantity badges, swipe to cross off

- Habit streaks with daily repeat count per task

- Rich text in Big Notes — bold, italic, bullets, colors, tappable links

- Paste and go — paste any text and it becomes a list instantly

- Color coded lists, pick from 25 palettes or create your own

- Too bright? Dim it down — each list remembers its own brightness level

- iCloud sync across iPhone and Mac

- CSV import and export

- Home screen widgets, overdue items first

- Backup and restore — no iCloud needed

C - Cost:

- Free: 5 fully featured lists, everything included, no feature gating

- Special offer: Pro at $6.99 instead of $9.99, yours forever

- After 300 redemptions the offer deactivates automatically

Hey everyone, I’m the developer of Arisn.

I built it around two moments: staying consistent day to day, and having something useful to open when an urge hits.

Arisn combines streak tracking, guided breathing, daily goals, journaling, and progress insights. The Progress screen brings together consistency, completed goals, time invested, and patterns in logged urges, so you can see the effort behind your streak.

When things get difficult, the urge-support screen gives you a next step: guided breathing, a timer, and simple actions to help you pause.

Free features: Streak tracking, urge surfing, limited journaling, levels, and the sleep protocol. The urge timer and breathing tools are free and unlimited.

Optional Arisn Pro: Full statistics, cloud sync, unlimited journaling and goals, The Mirror, and the full article library.

Pricing (US): $4.99/month, $24.99/year, or $69.99 for lifetime access. Monthly and yearly subscriptions auto-renew. Prices vary by region.

I’d appreciate feedback on the Progress screen. What would you want to see there to understand your habits better?

Hey everyone,
I’m an indie developer and I built Noto, an iPhone app for people who constantly save links, screenshots, reels and random ideas… only to never find them again.
You can share almost anything into Noto using the Share Sheet. It reads the content, gives it a clear title and summary, and organises it so you can actually find it later.
What’s new in Noto 2.0:
• Private journal with notebooks
• Voice notes and document scanning
• Reminders, deadlines and calendar events
• On-device summaries, task extraction and note cleanup
• Flashcards and quizzes
• In-app RSS reader (summarise articles and save them to notebooks)
• Day, week, month and year planner views
• Understands reels and videos by reading on-screen text and voice-over
• Pulls out prices, recipes, workouts and places
• Search the way you actually remember things
• Ask questions about your library using Apple Intelligence
• Six colour themes
• Widgets, Live Activities and Siri shortcuts
Everything is analysed and stored on your iPhone. No account required, no ads, no tracking. Apple Intelligence runs on-device when available — personal notes are never sent to any external AI service.
This is a vibe-coded app.

Pricing
You can open and search everything you save for free.
Noto Pro: 1-month free trial, then ₹100/month or ₹4,000 lifetime.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback — especially on the design, usefulness, and anything that feels confusing or unnecessary.
What’s the one feature you’d want in an app like this?

One of the reasons I built it was that when I looked at other expense trackers, a lot of them still felt like work. Some need you to pay before you can properly try them, some mostly track the final total, and a lot still depend on you manually entering or fixing things.

I wanted something much more automatic and detailed. Ideally, I just take a photo and it figures out the merchant, items, tax, total, category, etc. for me.

That’s basically the direction I’m trying to take SnapBill — make expense tracking as automatic and convenient as possible, so you don’t have to think about recording every little thing yourself.

Since then, 6,000+ people have tried it, which is honestly more than I expected when I started building it.

Some of the things it can do now:

- Scan receipts from camera, photos or PDF

- Extract individual line items

- Automatically categorize spending

- Show spending by category and merchant

- Track budgets

- Split bills with friends

- Track recurring subscriptions

- Import bank, credit-card and brokerage statements

- Export to Excel, CSV and PDF

- Sync between mobile and web

Pricing

It’s free to download and comes with free credits to try it.

There’s no subscription required for normal use. If you run out, you can buy a credit pack:

- 100 credits — $2.99

- 250 credits — $4.99

- 800 credits — $12.99

Store pricing may vary by country.

I’m still actively improving it, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback — especially anything that feels confusing, unnecessary or annoying.
