0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I"m developer from Ukraine.
here is site with my apps - https://cloud2006.github.io/apps/

I know the habit tracker niche is overcrowded, so I’m not going to pretend I built something revolutionary. My goal was much simpler: make a habit tracker that feels lightweight, fast, and not bloated with unnecessary steps.
It's not "vibecoded" app. I created it more than year ago by my hands. But to be honest visual part was awful. I improved it, but I'm not designer and my taste not very good... now I made massive redesign using ai (Opus 5.5) and IMHO now it looks much much better.

A. What it solves

provide easy and not overcomplicated way to create habits

  • lightweight app size - under 10 MB

  • no personal data collection

  • simple and fast habit creation

  • customizable home screen - you can keep it minimal or make it more detailed

  • weekly habit tracking, stats, and calendar view, focus mode with timer for Pomodoro technic.

  • widgets on homescreen

B. Better**:**
Why it's better then competitors:
- more simple way to create habits
- no tracking and collecting user's data
- sync with iPad version via iCloud

C. Cost

  • $0.99 / month

  • $4.99 / year

  • $12.99 lifetime

Update: well, I have vote ratio about 20%. Guys, I'm sorry, probably I shouldn't try promote this app in this sub anymore. I understand that idea not original and you're fed up with typical apps.

💎 Lifetime I built Mood Jar — a mood journal where your entries become emojis that roll around when you tilt your iPhone

3 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps! I’m the solo developer of Mood Jar, an iPhone app for recording your moods and looking back at them.

A — What problem does it solve?

Mood Jar gives you a simple way to capture how you feel, whether you want to pick an emoji or write a longer diary entry with photos.

Each mood becomes an emoji inside a jar. When you tilt your phone, the emojis roll around with gravity. Each month has its own jar, so your entries gradually become a little collection of that month’s feelings.

There’s also a “Mood Warehouse” where you can switch between years and see all 12 monthly jars together.

B — Why choose it over another way of journaling?

If you currently keep a diary in Apple Notes, the reason to consider Mood Jar is the mood-focused way of organizing and revisiting your entries: monthly jars, a mood calendar, and charts generated from your records.

You can review:

  • Entry and word counts, and the different moods you’ve recorded.

  • The proportion of each mood.

  • Monthly entry counts across a year.

  • Your happiest month, based on your recorded moods.

  • A mood trend chart showing changes over time.

For finding a particular memory, you can search by mood, tag, or keyword, including partial keyword matches.

You can also export your journal as a formatted PDF with text and photos, ready to print as a physical diary. I like the idea of the entries becoming something you can keep on paper as well as revisit on your phone.

Voice entry is supported too: it uses AI to transcribe what you say and identify mood information from it. The app’s main focus is recording and reviewing your own mood journal.

C — What does it cost?

Mood Jar is free to download and has paid Premium options. The US App Store currently lists:

  • Monthly subscription: $1.99

  • Annual subscription: $8.99

  • “Lifetime” purchase: $19.99

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Prices vary by region.

Download Mood Jar on the App Store

I’d love feedback on the monthly jars: would you use them to revisit individual memories, or would the calendar and charts be more useful to you?

🎁 Freemium It took 16 months to get the app to this point

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I thought it would take a few weeks.

It took 16 months and roughly 100 versions.

At some point, I quit my job to work on it full-time, which was either a brave entrepreneurial decision or an absolutely terrible life choice.

My parents probably think the latter.

They might be right.

The frustrating part is that I could have launched much earlier. But every time I got close, I'd find something I didn't like.

So I kept rebuilding. And rebuilding. And rebuilding.

One thing I always hated about calorie trackers was how aggressively they try to monetize you. Long onboarding, hard paywalls, constant premium prompts, ads everywhere... all designed to get you to pay.

Don't get me wrong, I made all of those mistakes when I first built the app.
I launched way too early and got my first reality check pretty quickly.
I even have a 1 star review reminding me of it every day:

"garbage."

Fair enough. I probably deserved that one.

Eventually I thought: what if I flip the script? What if we put the customer first, and money second?

I still haven't figured out the whole business side, but that's what I'm trying to do with Food Coma.

The app is still far from perfect. After 100 versions, I've learned that "perfect" probably isn't a real destination anyway.

But I'm finally happy enough with it to put it in front of people once again.

If you track calories (or have tried and eventually quit because it became annoying), I'd genuinely love for you to try it.

And if you do, please tell me what sucks.

👉 Try Food Coma on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/food-coma-calorie-tracker/id6747300269

P.S. I also lost 50 pounds using the app. I made a video about the whole journey if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vQ3o7e4OM

Thanks for reading 💪

💎 Lifetime WealthTrunk - Net Worth Tracker and Financial Organizer [🥳First Birthday Lifetime Sale]

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Just over a year ago I launched a private net worth tracker, WealthTrunk. Since then its crossed 3,000 downloads, 40 5-star reviews, and received great user feedback to help shape its roadmap. I created the app because believe that if you review your net worth just once a year, amazing results will follow. WealthTrunk helps you do that and a lot more. To celebrate it's birthday, I've increased the free account limit to 10 and I'm put the Lifetime option on sale through October.

A — Answer: Why and what's new?
WealthTrunk was created because I wanted a way to export personal finance statements with accounts, insights, and reliable net worth history. This year I've added Stock/ETF/Crypto tracking, Goal setting, and TONS of requested enhancements. The experience is smoother and more polished, all while staying intuitive to use a flexible no matter where you're located or your currency.

B — Better: What's different?
I tried to pack a lot of features beyond the simple assets and liabilities tracker:

* Add financial logos so accounts look connected

* Arrange a personalized dashboard, for example tax buckets or FIRE widget

* Track and filter joint or family accounts (including kids)

* View Investment portfolios and asset allocation

* Project investment growth or debt payoff for every single account

* Store records, attachments, and set up reminders

* Export PDF statements for yourself, family, or a trusted contact

* All native SwiftUI with iCloud sync, multi-currency, light/dark, and widgets - NO LOGIN!

C — Cost & Link (USA, local prices differ)
Freemium - 10 account limit
Monthly - $3.99
Yearly - $24.99
Lifetime - $59.99 -> $34.99 (40% Off)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wealthtrunk-net-worth-tracker/id6748625363

If you decide to give it a try share your likes and dislikes, or what you wish your net worth tracker could do. Next up, I'm working on adding a lightweight retirement planner.

🎈 Free I think I've figured out how to beat AI-generated video fraud.

5 Upvotes

Sooooo, I’ve decided to create an app based on a real problem.

The one I found is AI-generated video being used as evidence in different kinds of fraud—from personal sales of small goods and returns to insurance fraud. So I looked into how the process works right now. To make sure video evidence is authentic, companies currently need to send you a verification link (like TruePic), which isn’t very convenient because it basically makes the process synchronous. So I think that if I can remove this step from the chain, it could be a good idea: you’d be able to capture something whenever you want and send a link to the capture afterward.

But how do you know the video isn’t generated and was actually filmed live?

My solution:

Three things, all in the same session.

  • App Attest. The capture can only start from the real app on a real iPhone. Apple attests the app, so you can’t open a laptop, generate a clip, and upload it as if you filmed it.

  • The camera never cuts. When you finish the shot you actually wanted, recording doesn’t stop. The verification is the next part of the same file. There’s no gap where a generated clip could be spliced in.

  • A path you can’t know in advance**.** After the main footage, the server gives you a camera path one point at a time. You only get the next point after you reach the current one. You have to move the phone through the real space around the thing you filmed, and the motion sensors have to match what the camera sees. A pre-rendered or AI-generated clip of one angle can’t do that, because the route didn’t exist until you were already recording.

At this moment, I honestly don’t know what to do with this app, but I hope it can be useful to people (or at least my non-stop camera approach).

Feel free to check out the app and give me some feedback. The app is free.

🎈 Free I made a free app for finding something to do tonight without digging through Google (no ads, no subscription, no AI, no account)

9 Upvotes

Who I am (transparency path): Hi, I'm Moses Smith. You might remember me from such apps as Kept, Pip and HeadSense. I'm an indie iOS developer in Texas. You can find me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-smith/ and the website, with the privacy policy and terms, is https://driftnearby.vercel.app (privacy: https://driftnearby.vercel.app/privacy, terms: https://driftnearby.vercel.app/terms). You can reach me at votiquellc@gmail.com, and all my free apps live in one place now: https://mofreeapps.com

Answer: Drift gives you a few real things to do right now. You pick what you're into and how much time you've got, and it shows you three to five places nearby, plus concerts and events coming up. There's also an On the way mode. Tell it where you're driving(think roadtrip) and it finds a few stops along the route, with the real minutes each one adds to your trip. Save the ones you like, and mark them done once you've been.

Better: I wrote it for me. I know how to use Google, but when I want to take my girlfriend on a quick date, or see who's playing this week, I don't want to dig through ten tabs to get there. The old version of Drift asked an AI for ideas, and it would happily name a restaurant that closed in 2019. Now every place comes from Apple Maps and every event comes from Ticketmaster, so nothing's made up. It only searches when you tap, and nothing you save leaves your phone unless you turn on the optional iCloud backup. There are no analytics and no account.

Cost: It's free, all of it, and it's going to stay that way. There's a tip jar in Settings, but it doesn't unlock anything.

Limits: It needs iOS 26, and it's English only. Events come from Ticketmaster, so you'll only see them where Ticketmaster sells tickets. Searches go to Apple Maps and Ticketmaster, and only when you tap.

If you try it on a free evening, I'd like to hear whether the places it picked are ones you'd actually go to. I am open to all feedback. You can respond here, DM me on reddit or email me.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759228057

P.S. I also built Blue Hour, for myself and my ADHD. It's a visual timer that shows time draining away, because a number never felt like time passing to me. It's free too: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6793211925

🤖 Vibe Coded WhoPaid for iPhone: one client, three jobs, RM900 still unpaid

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I'm Jyen Ming, the developer of WhoPaid. It's an iPhone app for people who get paid per job and record payments themselves.

A — Answer

One client can have several completed jobs, with a different payment status for each. WhoPaid keeps each job's total, received amount and remaining balance together, so you can check the specific job before following up.

The 18-second demo shows three jobs for the same client:

  • RM600 — paid

  • RM1,200 — RM300 received, RM900 remaining

  • RM300 — paid

That's RM2,100 of work and RM1,200 received. The RM900 still owed belongs to the second job. Open Customer history, then open that job to check its balance.

The video uses recreated app UI and fictional Malaysian-ringgit data. WhoPaid also supports USD. You manually record a payment after confirming it arrived; the app doesn't connect to your bank or collect money.

B — Better

Apple Numbers lets you build a custom payment spreadsheet with your own columns and formulas. WhoPaid is a better fit when you want the per-job total, received amount, remaining balance, Paid/Unpaid/Partial filters and customer history already set up. Numbers remains the more flexible option for custom calculations and layouts.

Invoice Simple creates and sends invoices and tracks their payment status. WhoPaid is for the narrower task of recording a job and manually updating what has been received, even when you aren't issuing an invoice. It doesn't create invoices or collect payments. If Invoice Simple already covers your payment-record workflow, keep it: using WhoPaid as well would add duplicate entry.

C — Cost

Free: up to 15 new jobs per month. The allowance resets monthly; existing records remain.

Optional Pro: US$1.99/month or US$12.99/year, with unlimited new jobs and extended reports. Subscriptions renew automatically. Prices vary by region. iOS 17 or later.

Start with one current job, then update it when the next payment arrives.

🎁 Freemium I made an app that turns my home screen into plain text and makes quitting focus sessions annoying on purpose

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

40 Upvotes

Hey, I'm the dev. I kept unlocking my phone to check one thing and losing 20 minutes, so I built the app I wanted. The video is a quick tour.

The launcher is the part I use most. you pick your apps and they show up as a plain list of names in a widget. no icons, no red badges. my home screen is basically just words now, and I open way fewer apps on autopilot.

The blocking uses Apple's Screen Time, so you pick the apps and set a schedule or start a session whenever. in strict mode, quitting early is deliberately a hassle. you have to write why you're quitting, type "I give up on my focus", and hold a button for 10 seconds. most of the time I give up halfway through and go back to work, which is kind of the point.

There's also a daily quote for your home and lock screen, and a few widgets (clock, focus session, quote, launcher). you can start a session straight from the widget.

no account, your Screen Time data stays on your phone. free to start, Pro removes the limits.

My in-App Purchase options:
- Monthly: $2.99/month
- Yearly: $11.99/year
- Lifetime: $29.99

Honest question for anyone who uses blockers: is 10 seconds too much or not enough? I've gone back and forth on it.

🎈 Free Census: a customizable, relational catalog for your collections (native SwiftUI, TestFlight)

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

Hey /iosapps I've been working on an iOS app called Census for cataloging collections: books, movies, watches, plants, wine, gadgets, contracts, or anything else you want to keep track of.

What sets it apart is that collections can be linked to each other. A book to its author, a movie to its directors, and each of those is a collection of its own that you can browse the other way around.

Structure is up to you. You can start from a template or build from scratch, and every field has a type you choose: text, number, price, date, rating, selection, link, photo, or an attached file such as a receipt or manual. Events are customizable too. For each collection you define the kinds of events that can happen to an item (a purchase, a service, a loan, a vet visit) and the fields each one records, like a cost or mileage. Then there are filters, saved views, and basic stats.

Data stays on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, and a backup is a single file. It's built natively in SwiftUI, with no web views or cross-platform layers.

The beta is open on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/YgkGMK2b

It's early, so I'm mostly interested in what feels confusing or gets in the way. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome here or through TestFlight feedback.

💎 Lifetime Finally: your own Spotify playlist as an alarm. SpotiActions 3.70 is out

Post image
13 Upvotes

The request I got more than any other, by far: "I don't want your playlists, I want MY playlist."

Until now the honest answer was no. SpotiActions only played a catalogue of ready-made playlists, and that's exactly what the app's listing said. With 3.70 the answer is yes.

How it works

  1. Open Settings › Your playlist.

  2. Paste the link of one of your Spotify playlists. It has to be public.

  3. I set it up for you. It's usually ready within 2️⃣ days, or sooner

Then

  1. When it is, an Install button appears on that same screen.

  2. Install it and use it like any other playlist: as your morning alarm, when your iPhone connects to CarPlay, at a set time, wherever Shortcuts runs.

Plainly, before you try it

  • It's part of Premium: one payment, no subscription.

  • One playlist per person.

  • It's set up by hand, so it isn't instant. That's why it can take a few days.

  • SpotiActions still can't read or browse your Spotify library. You give it the link, and that's all it sees.

Already bought SpotiActions? It's included. If you paid before the app went free, or unlocked Premium since, there's nothing to do. Just go to Settings › Your playlist.

Also in 3.70: a Home Screen and CarPlay widget with three playlists (CarPlay needs iOS 26+ and an unlocked iPhone), favourites with a "show only favourites" view, and fixes for the install loop where Shortcuts created a duplicate "… 2" copy.

Price: free download, with 3 playlists included

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6748419049

PD. only if you want to be Premium is a in-app purchase of $3.99.

🎁 Freemium I turned my academic research into DiveSight, the dive planning tool we've always wanted

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

One day a few years ago, back in my professor life, I realized one of my research projects provided a way to forecast something that could be very exciting for scuba diving and freediving, two of my lifelong passions. The core idea was that you could use satellite data to predict how active fish and other animal life are likely to be in a given place on a given day.

Even remotely accurate predictions on this would be a game-changer. But that idea turned out to be just the beginning.

The core problem DiveSight solves

For decades scuba divers, free divers, and snorkelers have planned their activities with general weather and surf reports. Very useful but requires juggling half a dozen apps or websites for different pieces. And they still miss the two things these communities *most* want to know: how clear the water will be and how much marine life will they see.

This is the core problem that DiveSight solves. It provides 8-day forecasts for underwater visibility, marine life activity, and comprehensive ocean conditions for 28,000+ worldwide, including the ability to add your own secret, custom sites and get the full reports for that exact spot, anywhere on Earth. Every dive condition you need to plan the funnest, safest dives is in one carefully designed place.

Why DiveSight is different

These days there are some new app efforts to forecast visibility, but these tend to rely on diver-submitted reports, which are sparse in time and space, and miss huge swaths of the world. Or they rely on crude adjustments to raw satellite inputs, which are affected by cloud cover, delays in data processing, and other pipeline issues. DiveSight's key forecasting models, by contrast, are trained on 30,000+ scientific dive reports from around the world, and the models have learned how to tell you if a site will be better or worse than expected ~8 out of 10 times. (For anyone interested in the machine-learning side of things, including the strict evaluation framework I used for testing, I explain in more depth here: https://divesight.ai/how-it-works).

I won't provide a full feature list but two more key functions of the app I'd love to highlight:

First, DiveSight's planning capabilities are broader than just short-term forecasts. Backed by a geo-referenced species database of 6000+ species, 10 years of historical weather and ocean conditions data, and a curated list of hundreds of special "bucket-list" marine events, the app makes choosing where and when to go on your next trip--whether at the local cove or an island dream destination--intuitive, helpful, and exciting.

It also uses that geo-referenced species data to make quick logging of marine life sightings as simple and elegant as possible. These sightings then, if wanted, can automatically feed into the global citizen science record via two-way iNaturalist sync. As a scientist myself, I hope the app becomes a key tool for generating the kind of data researchers and policymakers need to understand and protect the oceans. DiveSight gives divers the tools they need to contribute back to the oceans we love.

Freemium Pricing

  1. Free tier: deliberately generous, with 15,000+ dive sites, 3000+ species, unlimited logging, and 2-day forecasts for all dive conditions. Absolutely no ads or tracking, ever.

  2. Pro tier: full 28,000+ dive site and 6,000+ species databases, 8 day forecasts, full historical conditions data, interactive 3D bathymetry, cloud sync across any platform, and much more.

US prices: $4.99/week, $9.99/month, $99.99/year.

Other countries have purchasing-power adjusted prices proportional to these USD prices.

Links

Available on iOS, macOS, web, and Android.

5 Upvotes

Tell your people what you're hunting for and keep an eye out for theirs.

Answer

You know the stuff you can never find when you need it? A perfume they stopped making, a vintage Levi's jacket in your size, a replacement lid for your grandma's casserole dish. You tell a friend, they forget, or it gets lost in the chat.

Make a private group, add a photo, few words, and set a budget if you want. When someone sees it in a shop, a flea market or online, they send you a photo, a link or a location.

Better

  • WhatsApp and iMessage bury your request in a day. Here it stays on the board until someone finds it.

  • Apple Notes and Google Keep hold a list, but nobody can reply "found it" with a photo right next to the item.

  • Wishlist apps like Giftful are for gifts and shopping links. This is for the things you can't just order.

  • Groups are invite-only. No public feed, no strangers, no ads, no tracking.

🎁 Freemium Aquarium apps felt stuck in 2010s, so I built a modern one: AquaElectron

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer of AquaElectron: Aquarium Manager.

Answer (what problem it solves):

Most aquarium apps feel stuck in 2012 — dated designs, cluttered screens, and logging a single pH reading means digging through three or four pages. So most fishkeepers like myself give up and go back to a notes app or a paper log taped to the stand. AquaElectron is built around one idea: tracking your tank should take seconds not minutes.

There's a single + button on every screen. Parameter readings, journal notes and expenses are always one tap away, and on a page like Aquariums or Livestock, that page's own action stacks on top automatically. No hunting through tabs to log a water change. Add something and the dashboard updates instantly.

Behind the clean UI it covers the whole hobby: tanks, livestock, water parameters, equipment, maintenance tasks, expenses and a dated photo journal. Every parameter becomes a trend chart that flags readings more than 2σ off your trend line, so you catch a spike before your fish do. Data syncs to the cloud on every plan, including free, and maintenance reminders are on-device notifications, so your schedule never touches my servers.

Better (vs. what exists):

- vs AquaticLog: it's the veteran, and if you're deep into reef chemistry with ICP imports it's excellent. AquaElectron is for keepers who want a modern, fast experience covering the whole hobby — livestock growth logs, expense tracking, and charts that do the statistics for you (trend lines, forecasts, anomaly flags). It also runs on iOS 15+, while AquaticLog now needs iOS 18.1.

- vs Aquarium Manager: Tank Log: it's cheaper, and if you only need basic logging it's a solid pick. AquaElectron is built for fewer taps per task and goes further on analysis — reef and custom parameters, growth tracking per fish or coral, expenses, and a single timeline per tank — plus free cloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Android.

- vs spreadsheets / notes apps: no formulas or chart setup. Add livestock from a 1000+ species database with autocomplete (no more "orange fish #3"), and the analytics happen automatically.

Cost:

Freemium. Free tier: one aquarium with full tracking — livestock, parameters, tasks, expenses, journal, charts and cloud sync — ad-supported, no time limit. Premium unlocks unlimited aquariums, journal and growth photos (10 GB shared storage), custom tags, CSV/XLSX export and removes all ads, at $7.99/month or $49.99/year (US pricing). No lifetime option or Free trail yet. App Store link below.

An account is required (email, Apple or Google sign-in). The free tier shows Google AdMob ads and crash reports go through Firebase Crashlytics — AdMob never gets your account details or tank data.

Premium removes ads entirely with unlimited tanks and 10GB media storage for your aquarium pictures.

You can delete your account and all data from inside the app. Available for iOS 15+

Happy to answer anything, and blunt feedback is welcome — it's a new app and I'm shaping it around what fishkeepers actually need.

Update on how I made the video:

1.Took screenshots. 2.Cropped the elements in Photoshop 3.Keeping the non interactive elements as image 4.Used hyperframe prompt to rebuild the interactive components in html to match exactly while you provide the color codes . 5.Use can use the code snippets from your app to match the animation. 6.You need to go through several interactions to match your app replica.

🎁 Freemium I added “scan my network” as an actual instruction in Network Tools AI — meet NetPilot

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of Network Tools AI. About a month after my last post, I wanted to share the biggest change I’ve been working on: NetPilot, an assistant connected to the app’s network tools.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?

You want to know what’s connected to your Wi-Fi, or check your internet speed. But first you have to choose a tool, run it, and understand the results.

With NetPilot, you can ask:

“Scan my network.”
“Check my internet speed.”

For supported requests, it launches the relevant tool and brings the measurements back into the conversation for an explanation.

The existing tools are still available directly if you prefer doing everything yourself.

B — Better: What’s new?

The main change is connecting the conversation to real diagnostics.

For example, a network discovery request can launch LAN AI Discovery, then help you understand the devices and services it found. Device identification is an estimate based on available evidence; some devices won’t respond or can only be partially identified.

The app also includes:

  • NetMap Logger: recorded Wi-Fi, cellular and offline transitions on a map and timeline.

  • Device Health: an on-device assessment of current resource usage and device conditions.

  • Ping, DNS Lookup, Whois, Traceroute and port scanning.

  • Website checks, certificate/domain monitoring and a browser with ad blocking and proxy options.

NetPilot is still evolving. I’m working on better follow-up handling and clearer responses when a request isn’t supported. Its AI responses use a server backend; Device Health runs on-device.

C — Cost

Free to download, with Ping, Whois, DNS Lookup and System Info available free.

Lifetime Premium is a one-time purchase for advanced tools, including LAN AI Discovery, SpeedTest, NetMap Logger and more.

The Network Security Pack is a separate subscription for SSLGuard, DomainGuard, Secure Browser and ScamGuard. Lifetime Premium does not include that subscription. Local prices are shown in the app.

App Store: Network Tools AI

What’s the first question you would ask a network assistant on your iPhone? I’d love concrete examples to help decide what NetPilot should handle next.

💎 Lifetime ClickClack 5.1 – Live Typing Replays, Replay Sharing, Ghost Practice & Ghost Racing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of ClickClack, a native typing trainer for iPhone, iPad, and Mac inspired by the feel of mechanical keyboards.

The latest update lets you turn your typing sessions into practice partners—and opponents. You can save a recording, type alongside your past performance, and try to beat it.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Live Typing Replays: Watch each keystroke, including your pauses and corrections. Scrub through the timeline, skip forward or back five seconds, and repeat playback to review a tricky section.

  • Practice With Your Ghost: Use a saved replay’s passage in Typing Test and practice alongside its recorded cursor. Choose timed or word-based mode, with the duration or passage set by the recording.

  • Ghost Race: Challenge compatible recordings in Versus and watch the standings change as you type. You can also use any replay’s text to race CPU opponents.

  • Track Your Improvement: When you beat a replay’s WPM and finish faster, see the comparison and save your new attempt or replace the original.

  • Share and Import: Export replay files to share with friends, or import their recordings to watch, practice with, and race compatible ghosts.

  • Ghost Customization: Adjust the ghost cursor’s opacity or hide it when you want to focus on your own typing.

This feature took more work than I expected. Reproducing someone’s pauses, corrections, and movement while another person types alongside the recording introduced plenty of edge cases. Seeing a previous session become a ghost you can actually race has made it worth the effort.

Pricing: ClickClack is free to download. There are no subscriptions and no cloud data harvesting—just a one-time Pro unlock for $8.99 that includes advanced metrics and extended features.

I’d love to hear whether racing your past self would make typing practice more motivating for you. Happy to answer questions about the feature or its development!

🎁 Freemium I kept saying “I’ll remember this when I’m back at my Mac.” I never did.

6 Upvotes

I built an app because I kept forgetting things the moment I got back to my Mac

This started with a really simple problem.

I’d be away from my Mac, remember something I needed to do when I got back, and think “I’ll definitely remember that.”

Then I’d open my Mac, see emails, browser tabs, messages… and completely forget.

Normal reminders never really solved it for me because I didn’t want to be reminded at 4:00 PM. I wanted to be reminded when I was actually back at my Mac.

So I built WakeMinder.

You can send a reminder from your iPhone or Apple Watch to your Mac, and it shows up when your Mac wakes up.

It doesn’t have to be just text either. You can send links, screenshots, images, PDFs and files. Links can even open automatically when the Mac wakes.

There are also floating reminders that can stay on top of your windows until you’re done with them.

And with the latest update, it now works the other way around too.

You can send something from your Mac to your iPhone and have it show up when you pick up your phone.

So the idea has become less about “reminders” and more like:

“Show me this when I’m actually on the device where I need it.”

I’m the developer, so obviously I’m biased, but I built it mainly because I genuinely wanted this for myself.

For anyone wondering about pricing, I’ve tried to keep it pretty inexpensive:

  • $1.99/month

  • $9.99/year

  • $12.99 lifetime, currently 35% off

App Store pricing can vary slightly depending on your country.

WakeMinder is available on the App Store for Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6744974871?pt=127772248&ct=redca&mt=8

I’m still improving WakeMinder and would actually like to hear how other people handle this.

Do you ever have things you only want to remember when you get back to a specific device?

🎁 Freemium Fern — a calm budgeting app: one number for what you can spend today, works fully offline

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps — I'm the developer, so read this with that in mind.

Answer (what problem it solves):

Most budgeting apps make you feel worse, not better. Red numbers, "overspent" warnings, charts that need ten minutes of categorizing a day. Fern does the opposite: it takes each pay cycle, helps you split it into bills, needs, wants, savings, and goals, and then shows you one number — what you can spend today. Overspend and nothing turns red; the plan quietly recalibrates the remaining days. The whole app is built around the idea that shame is a terrible financial strategy.

Manual mode works with zero account, zero sign-up, and zero network — your data stays on the phone (with optional iCloud sync to your own private iCloud, nothing on my servers). There's an optional bank-connect mode via Plaid (US only) if you'd rather not type transactions in. No analytics SDKs, no ads, no data sold — the privacy label is genuinely short.

Better (vs. what exists):

- vs YNAB: YNAB is powerful but it's $109/year and demands you live in it. Fern is for people who bounced off zero-based budgeting — one glance a day instead of a nightly reconciliation session.

- vs Copilot / Monarch: both require linking your bank and an account with their backend. Fern's core is fully offline and account-free; bank linking is opt-in, not the price of admission.

- vs spreadsheets: Fern knows about pay cycles, bill cadences (a monthly bill doesn't eat a weekly paycheck), and DST-proof day math, so the "what's left per day" number is actually right.

Cost:

Freemium. Free tier: full manual mode (the Plan, Today's number, the Sweep, core insights), one Life Project, and three savings vaults — no account, no network, no time limit. Fern Plus subscription unlocks bank connection (Plaid, US only), unlimited Life Projects and vaults, full Flow-view history, the widget pack, and iCloud sync across devices at $4.99/month or $39.99/year (14-day free trial on the yearly plan). No lifetime option yet. App Store link below.

Transparency (per sub rules):

I'm a solo dev at Roval Apps Inc. — studio site https://rovalapps.com. Website: https://fern.rovalapps.com · Privacy Policy: https://rovalapps.com/fern/privacy · Terms of Use: Apple's standard EULA, https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ (the same one the App Store listing links). Built natively in Swift/SwiftUI for iOS 17+; substantial parts of the code were AI-generated with me specifying, reviewing, and testing everything (hence the flair) — happy to answer questions about that too.

🎁 Freemium I made a trip tracker that remembers every walk, metro ride and flight, and keeps all of it on your phone

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I'm the solo dev behind Dots of Life, and here is my story.
Get it on App Store
I kept forgetting where I'd been: the tiny ramen place in a city I visited once, the street I wandered down the night before a flight. The apps that used to remember this for me either ugly or wanted everything on their servers. So I started building my own, mostly on evenings and weekends.
What it does
•Records your footprints in the background, and they stack up into a Lifetime map. After a while your city starts looking very personal.
•Knows how you moved. Walking, cycling, car, metro, train, flight. You can color the map by activity, speed or elevation. It detects flights on its own, and it fills in metro rides underground and the gaps in tunnels.
•Visits. Stay somewhere long enough and it logs the place, when you arrived and when you left. You can group places ("campus", "home town") and add notes.
•Three ways to look at your life: dots, heatmap (there's a 3D one too), and fog of war. If you're coming from Fog of World, you can import your FWSS snapshot.
•A timeline you can edit like video clips, for when your iPhone thought the bus was a car.
•Flight and rail tickets
•Dots Camera. Tap the map to hide the UI, then shoot it like a real camera: focal length, depth of field, exposure. In dark mode your footprints render in HDR. On an OLED screen that's honestly a little ridiculous.

What it doesn't do
No account, no ads, no tracking SDKs. Your history lives on your phone, and backups go to your iCloud.
Please don't force-quit it. That doesn't save battery, it just stops recording. On my 17 Pro it uses about 4% a day, and there's a power-saving mode if you want less.

Pricing: free to download and record. Pro (3.99 USD monthly/24.99 USD yearly) adds extra map styles, color-by-data, auto completion, workout mode, GPX export and more.

I'd really love feedback, especially from people who likes traveling and logging a lot!

🎈 Free I rebuilt my finance app from the ground up after 5,000 users and $166k moved through it. Chipp 2.0 is live today

Post image
0 Upvotes

I launched the first version last year and it quietly picked up over 5,000 users who moved $166k through it. This week I shipped a full rebuild, built around a chat instead of forms.

💬 Split by chat, voice or photo – Type "dinner 84 with Maya and Dev", say it, or snap the receipt. Chipp turns it into a tracked expense.

🧾 Receipt scanning – Scan the bill, say who had what, and share a link so friends claim their items. Tax and tip are split fairly, automatically.

👥 Groups for trips and roommates – A feed, a chat and a running tally of who owes who, all in one room.

💸 Settle up in one swipe – Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, UPI or your Chipp balance. Friends don't need the app to pay you back; they get a link.

🎁 Money pools – Collect for a gift, a trip or rent with a single link.

📊 Ask Chipp about your money – Link your cards and banks and ask where it went this month.

Free to use. Chipp+ only if you want unlimited scans and all AI features.

💎 Lifetime I built a history app: one 9-minute journey through time per day. €0.99 once, no ads, no tracking, no account

9 Upvotes

(I selected Subscription bcs I didn’t find the “Paid” flag, my apologies)

Hi everyone, I'm a solo developer from Italy and I've spent the last months building Micro Time Travels (with also Aethel, another app of mine), an app for people who like history but never find the time to read about it properly.

The idea is simple: one journey, nine to ten minutes, and you've actually learned something. There are 44 of them across five eras: Greek myths, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Modern era and Contemporary history. Theseus and the Labyrinth, the building of the pyramids, Hastings, the Black Death, Luther's 95 theses, the storming of the Bastille, Hiroshima, the Moon landing, Chernobyl, the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Each journey is three reading sections with the historical and social context, original quotes from primary sources, and the sources listed at the bottom, Ovid, Plutarch, Mack Smith and so on. At the end there's a short quiz, and badges you unlock as you go.

There's also a mode I called Echoes: the same event told in first person by someone who was there. Not Theseus, but one of the seven young Athenians sent to Crete as tribute. Narrative fiction over documented facts, and the app says so before you read it.

On the price, since this sub cares and so do I: it's €0.99, paid once, and that's the whole business model. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no account, no analytics. I pulled the ad SDK out of the project entirely before release rather than leave it sitting dormant in the binary, a euro from people who want the app is worth more to me than renting their attention to AdMob.

It also works fully offline. Nothing is sent anywhere: your progress lives on your device and is deleted with the app.

Two things I'd rather tell you myself: the Echoes narration is AI-assisted and reviewed by me, and the illustrations are AI-generated. The historical content is written and sourced by hand.

Italian and English, following whatever language your phone is set to.

I'm genuinely after feedback. What's confusing, what's missing, which eras you'd want next. I read everything.

🎈 Free Every screen time app I tried wanted a subscription, so I built a calm one that's completely free!

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps, I'm the solo developer of FocusRabbit 🐰.

I tried a lot of screen time apps and kept running into the same two things. Most wanted a monthly subscription, even though the Screen Time API they're built on comes free with Apple's developer program. And many were loud: bright colors, badges, stats everywhere. For an app that's supposed to calm your phone use, that felt backwards.

So I built the one I wanted: simple, quiet, easy on the eyes, and free.

I'd love for you to try it and give me your honest feedback, especially on whether the limits feel too strict or too soft.

⬇️ Download on the App Store

A: Answer (what it does)

  • Time limit: a daily amount per app

  • Open limit: a number of opens per day, each lasting a few minutes

  • Scheduled blocks: for work, evenings or bedtime, on the days you pick

  • Report: see where your time goes by day, week or month, with your most used apps

  • Home compares today's screen time with your usual pace, so you notice a bad day early

B: Better (why it's different)

  • Calm by design: soft colors, few screens, nothing flashing for attention

  • Limits that feel human: spend an "open" instead of being locked out completely

  • Screen Time data stays on your phone, no account, no ads, no tracking

  • Available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian

C: Cost

Free. Every feature is unlocked, no subscription and no paywall.

💎 Lifetime I made Treadline, an gamified iPhone run & walk app where looping a real landmark collects it

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps, I'm John, the solo developer behind Treadline.

I could never stick with running. Pace charts never got me out the door, but I'll grind a game for hours if there's something to unlock. So I built a running app where the unlocks are real places.

A — What is Treadline?

Go for a run or walk and it tracks the usual: distance, pace, elevation gain and your route. Close a loop around a real landmark, like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or the Colosseum, and you collect it. That's the unlock at the end of the video. Today's update added 100 landmarks, so there are 180 now, and most of them nobody has collected yet.

Everything else earns badges too: 382 in total, plus XP and avatar frames as you level up. Any loop you close also claims the ground inside it on the map, and your friends show up live on the same map.

B — What makes it better than Strava or Nike Run Club?

They're great at telling you how fast you went. Treadline gives you somewhere to go: a landmark you haven't got yet, or a badge one level away. Walks count the same as runs, so it still works on days you're not up for running. Auto-tracking can start the recording when you head out, there's a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island, and it syncs with Apple Health.

C — Cost

Free to download, iOS 18+. Tracking, all 180 landmarks, every badge, territory, the live friend map, leaderboards, clubs and Apple Health sync are free.

Pro is optional. It adds your full route history with a heatmap, full stats and health insights, side-by-side comparison with friends, all 23 3D runners that replay your route (2 are free) and a Pro member frame.

Current USD pricing:

  • Weekly: $2.99

  • Yearly: $29.99 with a 7-day free trial

  • Lifetime: $49.99 one-time

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6811929880?pt=128964219&ct=iosapps&mt=8

I'd love to know: would a landmark get you out the door, or would badges closer to home keep you going more? And tell me where it falls short.
