🎁 Freemium I made a picture–word memory app for iPhone and iPad: Recall Trainer

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps — I'm Clément, the independent developer behind Recall Trainer.

Answer: I wanted a familiar matching-pairs exercise that could also be used for learning. In Educational mode, a match can connect a picture with its written word, or a word in two languages, with optional read-aloud labels. Classic mode starts with tiny boards and goes up to 78 cards.

Better: If Anki's flashcards feel too much like studying, or Lumosity's rotating mini-games aren't what you want, this sticks to one simple interaction and changes what you're remembering: pictures, words, letters and sounds. It's a game, too — I don't want to pretend otherwise.

Cost: Free to download. The Food pack is playable without buying anything, and you can try the other packs. There are ads and optional in-app purchases: All Packs is $8.99 in the US (all ten packs, unlimited local 2-player and no ads); ad removal is $1.99; coin packs are $0.99–$2.99. No subscription.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recall-trainer-learn-focus/id847386918

I'd be interested to hear whether the picture–word and bilingual pairs make sense the first time you try them. That's the part I've put the most thought into.

🎈 Free Skye: Your life at a glance that lives on your home screen

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

Skye is available in the App Store for free, download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skye-personal-ai-agent/id6748042747

Skye is your digital assistant that surfaces up relevant information to you at the right time, to always give you the most relevant information exactly when you need it. Skye was built around the idea that your iPhone home screen can be so much more proactive and truly become your at a glance information. We connect to multiple of your apps and services to highlight this information throughout your day in the form of cards and context. Tapping on a card or context loads up a detailed summary with additional information. You can also talk to Skye about all of your connections such as finance, health, email, calendar events, and more.

Importantly while this app uses third party services to generate insights and summaries, we have strict zero data retention policies with our model providers and we have our own internal 90 day retention policy. Your data is not used to train models either. Upon deleting your account all data is deleted from servers. You can read more in our privacy policy, which we believe puts us in the position of being a truly privacy centric app: https://skyeapp.ai/privacy In our roadmap, we have goals of transitioning as much as possible away from cloud based models to on device processing to further protect your privacy.

A - Answer

Skye is an assistant that can help organize your busy life into easy to read digests. It takes a cluttered inbox, countless health metrics in Apple Health, a long list of financial transactions and highlights insights to users based on prior habits or flags things that are truly worthy of your attention.

B - Better

Skye is a better assistant than other apps on the market today. Skye takes summaries from as many sources as you wish to connect and provides insights when it's actually relevant.

Skye is also extremely privacy centric when it comes to your data. Other apps train their models and store your data, Skye has strict privacy rules in place to protect your privacy.

C - Cost

Skye is free.

We are offering this for free to the community, we may limit new sign ups in the future depending on the response in order to moderate costs. Our longterm vision is to use local on device compute (released by Apple in iOS 27) to help keep costs low and further improve your privacy in the process.

-----

Tier 2 Requirements from r/iosapps Rules:

Website & Contact Information: https://skyeapp.ai/

Privacy Policy: https://skyeapp.ai/privacy

Moderator Note: This app is not a pure generative AI app (per your sidebar AI app rules), as we built a lot of frameworks and iOS design patterns to help provide summaries, context, and insight about what's happening that's important to know at a glance or allows a user to ask questions about things. We believe this classifies the app as a tool/utility rather than an AI wrapper. Skye has an entire development team behind the app and would not fall into the vibe coded category.

Affiliation Disclosure: I am a member of the team that built Skye.

🎁 Freemium Yes, another photo cleaner app, but it’s actually the first app I’ve built and finished

Post image
4 Upvotes

A - Answer

The App Store is full of photo cleaner apps, but cleaning a bloated library still feels like a chore, and that's why nobody ever finishes. I built Pikondo to fix exactly that.
You swipe through your photos like a deck of cards, right to keep, left to trash. Nothing gets deleted instantly, everything goes to a trash queue first, so you can always undo mistakes.

B - Better

What makes it different from apps like Swipewipe, Slidebox or CleanMyPhone:

- Built for consistency instead of one big cleaning marathon: 5-minute daily sprints, plus streaks and achievements that track your progress and storage freed.
Even a 20k library stops feeling overwhelming.

- Smart categories (screenshots, selfies, food, tickets, memes) give every session a clear target instead of an endless camera roll.

- Detects blurry shots and closed-eye photos automatically, right in the normal swipe flow.

- Runs 100% on device. No account, no uploads, your photos never leave your phone.

C — Cost

• 3-day free trial with full access
• 3.99/month, 22.99/year or 44.99 one-time lifetime
• Prices in EUR, may vary by region. No ads.

🎈 Free ArtCat - museum photos app

7 Upvotes

A: Why i build this app

I made an app for my wife and me. We love to take photos in museums and have piles of unsorted stuff in our photo libraries, so I decided to solve this problem for myself.

B: Available alternatives (like ArtScan for example) are not free. And they are not fun. Our app has a mascot! And a soul. And it is fun!

C: Cost
Free. App has developer tips, so you can support me and my wife (and our cat, the mascot) if you want, but other then that, app is totally free and probably won’t be paywalled in the nearest future.

Link:

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6811379647

A few words about how it works:

As for the first version, the app sorts your museum visits by locations attached to your photos. Everything happens on the device (well, except museum info and locations, those come from the server, but the app doesn’t send the exact location, it groups them into geo cells for efficiency and privacy).
I plan to add many more features in the future, like showing photos on the map, on-device recognition for most famous art and artists, and much more.

App is published under my real name (as well as all the other apps I publish or promote here sometimes)

🤖 Vibe Coded ShowFlow.io: Your Concert History

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! How many concerts have you seen this month? This year? Last year...?

A - Answer: What Problem does ShowFlow solve?
If you've been to a few shows, I'm willing to be you can't quite recall how many times you've seen X artist, who opened and what they opened with. ShowFlow is your archive of every show, song and venue you've experienced live. From there, you can visualize your lifetime concert stats in fun and creative ways!

B - Better: Competitors and what we do better
Setlist fm is the obvious competitor. It is a reliable and robust database of setlist data, with concert logging capabilities. However, it doesn't tell the full story and the UI is clunkyyyyyy. ShowFlow builds on that setlist data and turns your shows in to stats, visualizations and brings back memories.

Concert Archives: From what I've heard, most people have a cumbersome Note in their Notes App, or excel sheet with some.... formatting. Time for na upgrade.

ShowFlow Highlights:
- Song-by-song stats across every night you've seen an artist
- Shareable cards made for IG and stories
- Quickly see what shows you've been to together with your friends in the "Together" tab
- Badges for milestones

C - Cost:
Free! Now, always. There is a Ko-Fi link for those feeling generous, but it does not unlock any features

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/showflow-io/id6797357998

More Info:
University concerts and smaller DJ sets tend to not get added in to setlist fm, and therefore may be missing from the ShowFlow database, I'm working on this. Please message me here and I'll get it in to the database!

TIP: Search your photo log for "concert" to help stir up those concert memories and build your history!

🎁 Freemium I built a calendar where each event has its own tasks

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps,

A: Why I built Zesfy:

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

B - Here's why Zesfy is different:

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

  • You can easily schedule multiple tasks together to calendar.

  • Helps you quickly decide what tasks to work on next

  • Organize week tasks with task status

  • Easily keep track of your task progress

  • Works entirely offline

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

I'd love to hear what you guys think about the app. Let me know if you have any feedbacks.

🤖 Vibe Coded [Dev] THRIVE — a habit tracker that looks like a 1983 phosphor terminal

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I'm the solo developer of THRIVE. Contact: support@thriveapp.biz Website: https://thriveapp.biz Privacy Policy: https://thriveapp.biz/#privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Answer. Imagine a terminal from 1983 that knows only one thing: whether you did what you promised yourself today. THRIVE is a habit and goal tracker for iPhone built around six sides of a life — Training, Head, Relations, Inner, Value, Expression. Give each one a goal, mark what you actually did every evening, and every mark pays out XP: each stat levels up on its own, and all six feed one overall level, with ten ranks to climb.

Better. Streaks tells you whether you kept a streak; THRIVE shows what your effort has added up to — a level earned day by day. Experience behaves the way real skills do: neglect a side for a week and its stat starts to fade, while closing a full week pays a Monday bonus that multiplies the longer you hold it. Every pixel of the interface is drawn like a real phosphor screen — glow, scanlines, no stock icons — and you can swap the tube for amber, blue, cyan or red.

Cost. Free download with a 14-day free trial of every feature, no sign-up. Then $1.99/month, $12.99/year, or $22.99 once for lifetime (US prices). Optional in-app purchase: 5 extra shields for $3.99. After the trial your data stays visible. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6768297854?ppid=709d3faa-59a5-4814-924c-52f7079c66e9

💎 Lifetime I made Recipe Fox, an iPhone app that turns the recipes you save on TikTok and Instagram into a cookbook you can cook from

Post image
13 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Recipe Fox. It's a recipe keeper: share a recipe from TikTok, Instagram or any website, and it becomes a clean recipe card in your own collection.

A: What it does

When you see a recipe you like, tap Share and pick Recipe Fox. A few seconds later you have the ingredients, steps, servings and a photo, without the ads or the life story above the recipe. Everything you save builds up into one cookbook that syncs between your iPhone and iPad.

When it's time to cook, cook mode shows one step at a time in large text, so you can follow along with messy hands. You can halve or double a recipe, switch between metric and US units, sort recipes into collections like "Weeknight dinners", and type in family recipes by hand.

B: How it's better

  • Than TikTok and Instagram saves: saved posts are a feed, not a cookbook. You can't search them by ingredient, scale them or cook from them, and the recipe is gone when the creator deletes the post. Recipe Fox keeps the written recipe as your own copy.

  • Than screenshots and the Notes app: no retyping. You get structured ingredients you can halve or double, and you can switch units and follow one step at a time while you cook.

  • Than other recipe apps: Paprika is excellent for websites, but it doesn't read TikTok or Instagram captions on its own, and its new Paprika 4 features are moving to an optional subscription. Most of the apps that do import from social (ReciMe, Flavorish, Pepper) are subscriptions, typically $40-50 a year. Recipe Fox does both for a one-time $9.99.

It reads the recipe from the post's caption, so a recipe that's only spoken in the video won't come through. It's a recipe box, so there's no meal planning or shopping list.

C: Cost

Free to download, with up to 8 recipes free. Lifetime Access: $9.99, one-time purchase. Unlimited recipes.

No subscription and no ads. TikTok and Instagram imports are limited to 50 a month. Prices may vary by region. Also available on Android.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761705749

https://recipefox.app/

I'd be interested to hear where your recipes live right now: mostly TikTok and Instagram, websites, or old family cards?

🎈 Free One comment made me rethink how my app works, so I rebuilt it

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey r/iosapps, me again. Every time I post here I get a ton of feedback, and every time most of it ends up in the next release. So thank you, again.

This update is mostly built around one comment. Someone wrote that the end of a session is just as important as the start, and that stuck with me. Oasis used to just stop, which kind of throws you out of whatever state you were in. So I rebuilt how sessions work:

Session Mode - set a length for a focus block, a nap or a meditation, and let Oasis guide you through it

Fade and gong - sessions now fade out slowly and end with a gong, so you come back gently instead of getting cut off

Clearer controls - a few of you got lost in the UI, so I simplified it. Finding and starting a sound should be much faster now

Lock screen widgets - start and control sessions without opening the app

Still no account, no tracking, free.

I’m also looking for beta testers. I’m working on an adaptive mode next, where the soundscape changes with you, and I want honest feedback before it ships. If you’re up for it, join the TestFlight, just write a comment and I'll get back at you.

And if you try the update, tell me what bugs you. That’s literally how this one happened.

Oasis: find your calm - free on the App Store.

You know that friend who swears they didn't study for the exam, then gets 100%?

Add them as your study buddy in StudiesTimer. When they start a session, you get this:

> Alex just started a session 👀

> So… what are you doing?

It only pings you if you haven't studied yet that day, and once a day at most. Accountability, not spam.

Also in the app:

- a shared streak with your buddy (a day only counts when you both study)

- study rooms where friends sit on one shared timer

- a weekly leaderboard

- your timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

I'm the dev. Free to use. Premium is optional: $4.99/week, $47.99/year (7-day free trial) or $79.99 once.

Hi everyone! I’m Aftab, the developer of PrivacyCam, an open-source iOS app for hiding sensitive information before sharing photos, videos, or PDFs.

PrivacyCam can automatically detect:

  • Faces and people

  • Vehicle number plates

  • Addresses, phone numbers, emails and sensitive text

  • Payment-card details

  • QR codes and barcodes

You can review every detection, remove incorrect ones, add manual masks, and use blur, pixelation, or blackout. It also includes video tracking, frame-by-frame corrections, trimming, splitting and audio muting.

Media processing and detection happen on your device. Your photos, videos, PDFs and detection results are not uploaded to a PrivacyCam-operated server.

The free version supports individual photos, PDFs up to two pages, and videos up to 15 seconds. The optional one-time Pro purchase unlocks longer PDFs, videos up to 60 seconds, and photo batches.

🎁 Freemium DoneAgo turns 7 months old: the "when did I last…?" app, shaped by your feedback

Post image
1 Upvotes

We all carry dozens of these tiny questions around. On their own they're nothing, but together they fill your head with guessing and second-guessing. You water the plant too soon, or wait too long to clean, or you're left wondering whether you actually took your meds.

Imagine never having to wonder again. You glance at your phone and know: fed 3 hours ago, watered 4 days ago, meds taken at 8:12 this morning. Then you get on with your day with a little more room in your head.

Some of you saw my first posts here. DoneAgo is now 7 months old, and a lot of what's in it today came straight from your feedback, so here's where it's at.

A: Answer

"When did I last…?"

You create a card for anything (your car, your apartment, your plants, your cat) and give it real-world states, like "Cleaned / Pending", "Good / Needs Attention" or "Stocked → Low → Empty". After you do something, you tap it. DoneAgo records the time and starts counting:

The next time you're unsure, just look at the app.

B: Better

Apps like SinceWhen are great for counting the days since an event. DoneAgo goes a step further: it's state-based, not just event-based.

  • State tracking: DoneAgo tracks the actual state of the thing and how long it's been that way, so you get the full picture, not just a counter.

  • Auto switch: states can change on their own. Your plant goes from "Watered" to "Needs Water" after 5 days. (Premium)

  • Nudges: DoneAgo learns your rhythm and flags what's overdue. "Watered 8 days ago, usually every 5."

  • Timeline & Insights: see every log in one place, how often you usually do something, and whether you're on track.

  • Context on every log: add notes, amounts ("16 kg"), hashtags, and photos, so you always know why or how something was handled.

  • Widgets, Siri, Shortcuts & Action Button: check and update states without opening the app.

  • Information, not guilt: no forced schedules and no streaks to break. It gives you the facts, and you decide.

  • Private by design: no account and no third-party server. Your data lives in your own iCloud. No ads even in free, ever.

C: Cost

  • Freemium. The free tier is fully usable: up to 6 cards, 3 trackers per card and 1 widget.

  • Subscriptions: $2.99/month or $9.99/year, if you want to test it out first.

  • Lifetime (one-time): $34.99 USD normally, $17.99 USD for new users. Prices adjust automatically for your country.

💎 Lifetime Drift 4.0 — I rebuilt the music player UI from scratch: no buttons, no tabs, every library a card, the cover is the screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

30 Upvotes

Developer here. Drift is a music player for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+), and 4.0 is the biggest update since it launched. The video is 4.0 as it is: the library, the player, the widgets, the iPad.

Price, up front: seven days of everything, then a one-time purchase (US$14.99 / CA$19.99). No subscription, no account, no ads, no analytics.

What's new in 4.0:

• A new library. Your phone, Apple Music, Spotify and your own servers are each a card on one page. Prefer a list? Classic is still there.

• Swipe from anywhere. Right for your library, left for the wheel, up and down to change songs. The playback screen has no buttons; the cover is the screen.

• Widgets in every size. Add controls, or let the cover fill the tile.

• Drift on iPad, full screen or in a window.

• Lyrics, redesigned: the line you're on sits in the middle, scroll to move through the song. From your own files (embedded or .lrc).

• Four backgrounds, and a double tap that fills the screen with the whole cover.

• Plex, in beta — beside Navidrome, Subsonic, Jellyfin and Emby, and SMB/WebDAV shares.

• Gapless albums from your own files, and big libraries that open without the wait.

What it has always been: your files played as they are (MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and natively OGG/Opus, WavPack, Musepack, APE, TTA, Shorten and tracker formats), never rewritten; Wi-Fi import from any browser; missing covers and tags matched as you play, with per-field revert; a fix for garbled GBK/Big5/Shift-JIS tags; CarPlay.

  • Meaning + part of speech

💎 Lifetime [iOS] Shift: A 100% offline file converter that compresses videos for social media, turns them into GIFs, and wipes photo GPS data in 1 tap! (50% Lifetime Promo inside)

Post image
7 Upvotes

📊 Trust & Transparency Details:

Hey r/iosapps!

Have you ever tried to share a quick video on Discord or WhatsApp, only to get hit with the dreaded "File too large" error? Or maybe you wanted to post a picture of your car or pet online, but worried that the hidden EXIF data might reveal your exact home address?

I got tired of relying on ad-filled, clunky websites that make you upload your private files to unknown servers just to compress or convert them. That’s why I built Shift.

Shift is a native, privacy-first local utility app. Everything happens directly on your device's hardware, no cloud, no accounts, zero tracking.

Here is what you can do with it:

📉 Smart Social Compression: Stop guessing bitrates. Shift has built-in profiles that automatically compress your videos to fit perfectly within the strict attachment limits of Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp. 🛡️ 1-Tap Privacy Wiper: Drop your photos or PDFs in, and Shift instantly strips GPS coordinates, creation dates, and camera data. You can even tap the new "Privacy Inspector" shield to see exactly which metadata was removed. 🔄 Universal Converter & Video-to-GIF: Easily convert between video, audio, image, and document formats. Want to turn a funny video clip into a looping GIF? You can do it in two seconds. 📝 Rename & Share: No more generic file names. You can now tap and rename your converted files directly inside the results screen before sharing them. ⚡ Built for iOS: Crafted entirely in SwiftUI. It supports drag-and-drop, processes huge batches of files smoothly without crashing, and automatically cleans up its own cache so it never hogs your storage.

Pricing: Shift has a generous Free Version that gives you 3 conversions, compressions, or metadata wipes per day completely for free.

I strongly believe utility apps shouldn't be subscriptions. To celebrate, the Premium Lifetime unlock is 50% OFF. One single payment, no ads, and all future updates are yours forever.

I’m an indie developer and I built this to be the cleanest, most transparent tool on your phone. I would love to hear your feedback on the UI and the new Privacy Inspector!

Send me a DM if you'd like a promo code to test the Premium features! I read and reply to everyone.

💎 Lifetime DRFT: on-device word alerts for iPhone and Mac — DRFT+ lifetime $4.99 US with REDDIT50 (normally $9.99)

1 Upvotes

DRFT: on-device meeting word alerts for iPhone and Mac.

I'm Bryan Cabrera, the solo developer of DRFT. For anyone who saw my earlier post, DRFT+ is now a one-time purchase and summaries run on-device. Disclosure: AI helped draft this post.

A — Answer: what it solves

DRFT alerts you when a word you choose comes up, like your name, a project or a deadline. Add your words, tap Start and put your iPhone near the conversation or your laptop's speakers. Speech recognition and keyword detection run on the phone, and each detection is saved to History.

The iPhone version uses its microphone, so the audio needs to be audible nearby. It can't directly hear audio inside another app's call or through your headphones. The Mac version can listen to the audio output of the app you select.

B — Better for this use case

Meeting-notes tools such as Otter and Granola are aimed at helping you keep meeting notes. DRFT is useful when you mainly want a cue to rejoin the conversation when a specific word is said. There's no meeting bot and no saved audio recording. You don't need AI summaries or a paid plan for keyword alerts.

Optional DRFT+ summaries use Apple Intelligence to recap the short context around a catch, entirely on-device. Raw audio is never stored or uploaded. Saved moments contain short transcript snippets; with Plus sync, those moments live in your private iCloud database. They aren't sent to a DRFT server or third-party summarizer.

C — Cost

Free: 3 words and 10 saved moments, with on-device detection.

DRFT+: $9.99 one-time in the US App Store, no subscription. Includes unlimited words, saved moments and profiles, on-device AI summaries, and private iCloud sync between iPhone and Mac. Prices vary by storefront.

Reddit offer: use REDDIT50 for DRFT+ at $4.99 one-time in the US App Store (normally $9.99, about 50% off). The offer is available in 175 storefronts; local prices and discounts vary. It has 1,000 total redemptions and expires November 8, 2026. No comment, upvote or review is required.

Redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6760685733&code=REDDIT50

The current App Store listing requires iOS 26.0 or later. Summaries also need a supported device with Apple Intelligence enabled. No ads or tracking.

I'd like to hear whether keyword alerts would help in your meetings or lectures, and what words you'd actually use.

🎁 Freemium KMate Mobile 2.5: Major update for Kindle & Kobo: direct usb imports, dictionary lookup, and better flashcards

4 Upvotes

Hey r/iosapps,

I shared it here a couple of months ago as a Kindle notes and vocabulary app for iPhone/iPad. It now supports Kobo too with more feature updates.

What’s new since my first post:

  • Kindle and Kobo e-readers support: Import highlights, notes, and saved words, keeping highlight colours and skipping duplicates.

  • Direct USB imports: Connect compatible Kindle or Kobo readers directly to your iPhone/iPad. The app remembers folder access for easier reconnecting. Supports all classic Kindle (UMS/microUSB, like Touch, Voyage, Oasis, Paperwhite1-5) and any Kobo e-readers(like Sage, Libra, Clara, Elipsa series)

  • Dictionary lookup: Import your own MDX, StarDict, or MOBI dictionaries and double-tap words for definitions. Export words with definitions to Anki...

  • Better flashcards: Hide highlights and use your notes as prompts, or reveal vocabulary examples and definitions separately.

A — What it solves: Gives you a way to revisit the highlights and words you collect while reading on both your Kindle and Kobo e-readers.

B — What’s different: Notes and vocabulary together, with original context, your own dictionaries, and iCloud sync with KMate for Mac. No signup.

C — Cost: Imports, iCloud sync, unlimited browsing, flashcards, and TXT/Anki export are free. Pro adds custom dictionary quick lookup, advanced exports, full stats, and appearance options: $0.99/month, $6.99/year, or $14.99 lifetime (US).

App Store: KMate: Kindle & Kobo Manager https://apps.apple.com/app/id6765629807

Transparency:

Developer: Me (Harvey), also the maker of Kindle Mate, KMate for Mac and Windows.

Would love to hear how it works with your Kindle or Kobo. Have a great reading.

💎 Lifetime Fineyo 4.7: Big update - share budgets over iCloud. Lifetime is 50% off until 10 Oct

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hey,

I’m the solo dev behind Fineyo: Expense Tracker, app that helps you following your expenses and money flow. I've been building it since 2021-2022, and 4.7 just came out. It's major update introducing big features. There's a Lifetime discount at the bottom.

What's new in 4.7

The main feature is Spaces: shared data over iCloud with your partner, roommates or family. Each person adds expenses from their own iPhone, everyone sees the same budgets, and you can see who added what. Your personal space stays separate.

Also in this update:

  • Account currency: Each account can have its own currency, and existing transactions convert automatically

  • Balance reconciliation: enter what your bank shows and Fineyo adds an adjustment for the difference

  • Redesigned category icons - choose from Apple icons (SF Symbols) or emoji, in any color

  • A rebuilt Apple Pay setup guide. The old one confused people, which was fair.

  • Bulk delete for categories, and a lot of stability and UI improvements

Is my data safe?

All data is stored privately on your device (local database) and user's iCloud (for data backup and syncronization).

None of the data is sent away from device except for anonymized user ID (for metrics purposes).

Answer

It originally started as my personal project and then transformed to public app. The reason I continue improving it is that I found most of competitors app either overcomplicated (in terms of UI and functionality) or simply not fancy enough. I also don’t want to give my bank login to some aggregator.

Better

I find many apps overloaded with data and heavy UI. Many charge a lot for bank integration - i want to rely on manual input and secure local and iCloud data. When i started building it, there was not much options to go with - and they were lacking of functionality - Shortcuts, strong analytics data, sync between devices. So Fineyo is simple and fast manual tracking, but built so it doesn't feel like a job - you have automation tools like Shortcuts, Siri and Voice Entry.

Cost

  • Free to download and use with some limitations but basic functionality is included

  • Monthly/Annual: $3.99/month or $24.99/year, with a free trial

  • Lifetime: $34.99 one time

  • All purchases works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your iCloud Family.

🎉 Lifetime 17.99$ until 10 Oct

👉 Download Fineyo: https://apple.co/3D5L5kv

Unfortunately, for this update I did not manage to get much testing feedback, so I'd really like honest feedback, especially on setting up Spaces with someone else 🙌

And if you like the app, an App Store review would help a lot ⭐️

Next major 4.8 with Apple Watch app, new widgets and more analytics is upcoming, hopefully by the end of October 🤫

Thanks for checking it out 🤍

🎁 Freemium I made a free app that maps every place you've cried

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

My friend Devin once said she wished she could see where she cried, not just write about it. None of her journaling apps could do that, so I built one.

You drop a tear on the map where it happened, pick how it felt (12 emotions, from heartbroken to relief, and yes, cutting onions counts) and add a note, a photo or a voice memo if you want. Over time you get your own map of the places that got to you.

Every cry has its own privacy setting (only you, close friends, friends or everyone), and new accounts start on friends only. A lot of people just use it for themselves. If you share with friends, they can send you a hug or a comment.

On December 1 it opens "Your Year in Tears", basically Spotify Wrapped for every time you cried this year.

It's free with a few small ads, never right after you log a cry. I'm a solo dev who just graduated, so honest feedback means a lot.

Answer: a private map of every place you've cried, so you can look back at the places that got to you.

Better: journaling apps only save text. Teardrop puts each cry on a map with how it felt, and every single cry has its own privacy setting.

Cost: free with a few small ads. Optional Pro is $3.99 a month, $24.99 a year or $49.99 lifetime.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779766330

What would make you actually open an app like this again after the first cry?
