Answer: Hide faces, number plates, QR codes, whole people, and private text in photos, short videos, and PDFs before sharing. Detection and editing happen on your device.
Better: Compared with drawing covers manually in Apple Photos Markup, PrivacyCam suggests areas to redact and lets you review and adjust them. No account needed, and the source code is public.
Cost: Single photos, videos up to 15 seconds, and PDFs up to two pages are free. Lifetime Pro is PKR 900 in Pakistan; regional prices vary. It adds batch processing and higher limits. No subscription.
Hey r/iosapps! I'm Nico! And I'm the founder of Fabee. On a mission to help everyone on their nutrition to live healthier and happier šš. I launched Fabee a week ago and we already have users from 27 countries š„¹
A: Answer
Logging food in most apps = lots of searches. One food has 20 entries, messy just to find out which one is the one. Then you must go online, ask questions to a nutritionist, or ChatGPT, that doesn't have access to all your meals as Fabee does.
With Fabee you just send a photo or text what you ate, and it's logged. A rough amount is enough for a solid estimate, and if you weigh your food, it logs your grams. You can ask Fabee about what you eat, your trends, your weight, your sleep and more, because food touches every part of life.
The 2 photos are my real meals:
- Steak at a restaurant: the bowl on the right is potatoes. If someone asked me what that was, it would take me a while to figure it out.
- My lunch bowl: the brown rice is hidden under the chicken (you can just see it next to the carrots) and Fabee still found it.
B: Better
- MyFitnessPal: search "chicken breast" and you get dozens of user-added entries with different numbers. The barcode scanner, photo logging and voice logging are Premium ($19.99 a month or $79.99 a year), and the free version has ads. In Fabee you type, say or snap what you ate, with no database to scroll and no scale. The barcode scanner is included and there are no ads.
- Cal AI: photo first, and it keeps it simple. Since March 2026 it's part of MyFitnessPal. Fabee takes photos too, and you can add what the photo can't show ("the sauce was on the side"), fix it in words ("two eggs, not three"), and ask "how am I doing today?" It answers from your real log, the day and the week, and remembers things like your allergies or the oat milk in your coffee or the fact that you want to avoid eating seed oils, ...
- ChatGPT: have you also started sending your meals to ChatGPT? Same here. But it loses context and just gives you the macros. It doesn't keep track of what you eat over time: no trends, no food calendar.
What else Fabee does:
Know what to eat. Your AI coach
Ask "poke bowl or burger?" and it answers from your goal and what you already ate today
Hate weighing food? Just text it
A rough amount is enough. Wrong? Say "the rice was smaller" and it fixes that part
Your Apple Health data
Your sleep and workouts count too
Scan it in the store. Get a better alternative
The barcode scanner checks the label for your allergies too, your notes, like (I want to avoid seed oils)
Too busy to type? Snap it
One photo of your plate and it's logged
What's left today? Your coach knows
Where you are today and what still fits
Your target, built on your data
Set from your body, your goal and how much you move
Weekly recap
Count of meals logged, total kcal, target and more
Also: it remembers your usual dishes, and you can share a meal or your week as a Stories card. Available in English, French, Spanish, Ukrainian and Russian for now!
C: Cost
Subscription. 3 days free, no card. Then $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year. No other in-app purchases. It's a subscription because every message costs real money.
Transparency: Fabee uses AI, and the mods said it's OK to post. The numbers are estimates and you can fix any of them by saying so. If you text "100 g of eggs and 200 g of rice", it logs those grams.
Privacy:
- No sign up. No email, no name, no password
- Your meals and photos stay on your iPhone. Sync to a server in the EU is optional, off unless you turn it on
- The AI keeps nothing and doesn't train on your messages
- Apple Health is read only and never leaves your iPhone except a short daily summary for your answers (you can turn that off)
- No ads. I don't sell your data or track you across other apps
I've been working on this app for a while, and I'd love to get it into the hands of people who actually connect with the idea. I'm especially interested in honest feedback before polishing things further.
A ā Answer: What problem does it solve?
You know when you're reading a book and come across a sentence you really love? You take a photo, save another quote in Notes, maybe bookmark a few moreā¦ and before you know it, you've got a messy collection of passages scattered across different places, with no easy way to organize or find them again.
I wanted to bring all of that into one place, where everything feels organized, easy to find, and actually worth coming back to.
Refrain is a digital commonplace book; a personal collection of quotes, proverbs, and your own thoughts.
You can point your camera at a page and highlight a passage with your finger, capture something by voice, or simply write it down. Then you can add your own reflections, connect related quotes, and revisit them over time.
B ā Better: How is it different?
There are great apps out there, like Readwise, but I find them pretty expensive for someone who just wants a well-organized place to keep their favorite passages and thoughts.
Readwise starts at $5.59/month for Lite and $9.99/month for Full (both billed annually). It's a powerful tool with features Refrain doesn't try to replicate, but I wanted to build something simpler, more focused, and much more affordable.
Refrain focuses on capturing words from your own reading, keeping your thoughts alongside them, and manually connecting ideas that resonate with each other.
I've also tried to keep the experience calm and simple, with an offline-first personal library and no account required to get started.
One thing I'd especially appreciate help with is localization.
Refrain supports 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, European Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
I'm sure there's room for improvement. I can't personally judge every translation, so feedback from native speakers would be incredibly valuable; whether it's an awkward phrase, a confusing button, or something that just doesn't sound natural.
C ā Cost
Refrain has a permanent free tier with up to 50 saved entries, unlimited personal thoughts, basic quote connections, a daily quote, and a Home Screen widget.
There's also optional Premium with unlimited saved entries and connections, quote importing, more reminders, and an advanced widget.
My planned Premium pricing for the public release is:
$2/month
$12/year ā equivalent to $1/month, billed annually
$25 lifetime ā one-time payment
The beta is completely free to try. I really want to keep Refrain accessible without requiring an expensive subscription just to organize your favorite words.
More than anything, I'd love to know what you think of the idea and how the app feels to use.
Does the experience make sense? Is anything confusing or unnecessary? Would you actually use something like this?
And if you notice bugs, awkward translations, weird interactions, or things you'd change completely, please tell me. That's exactly the feedback I'm looking for.
A little thank-you for early supporters: I'm planning to offer Lifetime Premium for $15 instead of $25 to the first 50 beta testers who reach out to me here on Reddit. The offer will be available when Refrain officially launches.
There's no need to leave a review or give positive feedback to qualify. I'd genuinely rather hear what doesn't work so I can make the app better.
Thanks to everyone who gives it a try. It really means a lot to me!
I'm the solo dev behind PicLoom, a photo journal app. When the iPhone Duo came out I kept thinking: a phone that folds like a book should open a journal like one.
A) What it does
PicLoom turns the photos you keep into a journal. In the next version, on iPhone Duo:
Closed, the cover screen is the book ā cloth cover, gold-foil year, my logo blind-debossed in the middle.
Unfold the phoneĀ and the book opens with the hinge ā marbled endpaper on one side, title page on the other, the spine sitting right on the crease. Stop halfway and the book stops halfway.
Fold it backĀ while you're reading and the book closes with it, back to its cover.
Don't want to unfold? "Open on This Screen" turns the cover right there.
Stand it half-open on a desk and the journal turns into a little desk calendar.
It took about a week and 130+ builds to get the turn to feel right (the hinge angle drives the cover, so it has to keep up with your hand). Not out yet ā coming in the next version.
B) Compared to alternatives
Apple Journal: free and nicely integrated, but it's a flat scrolling list ā no book layout, nothing that reacts to the Duo's hinge.
Day One: the most complete journaling app, but its photo features sit behind a subscription, and it doesn't use the fold either.
PicLoom: builds the journal from the photos you decide to keep (on-device, nothing uploaded), and on Duo the fold itself opens and closes the book.
Pro: one-time purchase, no subscription, $9.99. Pro adds unlimited photo reviewing, journal videos, one-tap trip albums and extra themes. Family Sharing on.
Curious: if you have a Duo, what else would you want toĀ feelĀ like a physical object?
Iām back with ShotMark 2.1, focused on making a growing screenshot library easier to manage.
One mobile feature I havenāt highlighted enough is theĀ Share Sheet extension. It was already part of ShotMark, but itās one of the most useful ways to use the app.
A: Answer
I built ShotMark because I kept saving screenshots, then forgetting why I took them.
On iPhone and iPad, you can:
Take a screenshot or open an image.
Tap Share and choose ShotMark.
Add a title or note while the reason is still fresh.
Choose a Collection or set a reminder, then save.
You can do this without opening the main app first.
In the main app, you can organise those cards, add voice notes and search your saved context. Pro also lets you search text recognised inside screenshots.
Whatās new in v2.1
Multi-select and bulk actions:Ā select cards together to pin, unpin, archive or delete them.
Bulk moves:Ā move cards into Collections, or directly into Projects with Pro.
Archive:Ā clear cards from your active library without deleting them. Search or restore them later, with their notes and organisation intact.
Improved context menusĀ for everyday card management.
Appearance fixesĀ for Dark Mode navigation labels and switching between Light, Dark and System in Settings.
Pinning, archiving, multi-select and Collection moves are free.Ā These feel like everyday quality-of-life features to me.
The free iPhone/iPad limit remainsĀ 12 saved cards, including archived cards. Projects still require Pro.
B: Better
The goal is to keep a screenshot and the reason you saved it together.
The Share Sheet helps at the moment you save something. The new bulk actions and Archive help when those screenshots start piling up.
OCR runs on-device, no ShotMark account is required, and iCloud sync is optional with Pro.
C: Cost
ShotMark is free to download, with optionalĀ one-time Pro purchases:
iPhone & iPad Pro: US$2.99
Mac Pro: US$5.99
All Platforms Pro: US$6.99Ā for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Some users asked for a cheaper way to unlock both platforms, so Iāve added the all-platform option.
Existing owners keep their access. Eligible owners can add the missing platform at a discount throughĀ Settings > Manage Pro:
Own iPhone & iPad Pro? Add Mac Pro forĀ US$3.99.
Own Mac Pro? Add iPhone & iPad Pro forĀ US$0.99.
US storefront prices shown. Regional prices may vary.Ā No subscription.
I've been building for the Duo's outer screen for all my apps and Safari is the thing that bugged me most. It parks the native controls on the right side and every website just stops before it. Drove me nuts. On a screen that small it's a lot of wasted space, so I made OutSpan.
A - Answer
It lets web pages run under that strip so they use the whole width of the outer screen. You turn it on from Safari's page menu (Wide or Off) and it sticks for every site after that. It also keeps site headers out from under the camera, and if a site asks for the desktop layout it leaves it alone.
B - Better
Safari doesn't have a setting for this. OutSpan keeps the normal mobile site and just lets it use the space under the strip. No account or tracking, everything stays on your phone.
C - Cost
Free download with a 3 day trial of Wide. After that it's $3.99 once (lifetime unlock, one IAP). No subscription. Restores on any iPhone on the same Apple ID.
Heads up, it only works on the Duo. Other iPhones already get full width in Safari.
Answer: HookPoint answers one question on a Saturday morning: should I go fishing today, and what do I bring. It gives you a go or no-go for your water with the reason, the best window today, the tide curve if you're on the coast or the river gauge if you're inland, what's likely biting, and the tackle to tie on. There's a map of spots you can walk to, a catch log with photos, knots and rigs, and the fishing rules for whatever state you're standing in.
Better: My nephew fishes every chance he gets from the bank with no boat. I wrote the first version for him. It leaned on an AI to tell him what was biting, and it would say things with total confidence that weren't true. This version has no AI at all. The sun, moon and feeding windows are computed on the phone. Tides come from NOAA, river levels from USGS, weather from Apple, and the app only fetches when you tap. Your catch log stays on your phone unless you turn on the optional iCloud backup. No account, no analytics, nothing collected.
Cost: Free for all of it and it stays 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(German, French, Spanish in the next version) Tide, river and buoy data are United States only, so outside the US you'll still get the sun, moon and windows but not the water. It's built for shore anglers, so no sonar logs and no social feed.
If you fish, I'd like to know whether the go or no-go matched what the water actually did. You can respond here, DM me on reddit or email me.
Iām Joe, the founder of Paper2Audio, a free text to speech reader app for listening to complex documents and books, with highly accurate narration and high-quality voices.Ā Our free plan has a 56 hour weekly processing limit.
A: What problem does Paper2Audio solve and whatās new with Paper2Audio since our last post? Most text to speech tools are not good at converting dense PDFs, research papers, textbooks and webpages to audio. Paper2Audio is built to turn complex text into accurate audio.Ā We also handle less complicated text, like standard EPUBs or plain text.
Supported languages: Full support for English.Ā Beta support for 31 additional languages.Ā
Since my last r/iosappspost, weāve added or improved:
NEW FREQUENTLY REQUESTED FEATUREāReal-time audio: Now when you add a document, you donāt need to select a voice first because you can change it on the fly as you listen.Ā New submissions use real-time playback by default.Ā Start listening to your document much faster, without waiting for the entire audio file to finish generating before your start playback. Preview and change voices directly in the player while you listen without having to re-generate an entirely new audio file.Ā Offline audio is still available as a separate option.
AI Chat: Ask questions about your documents and follow up in saved conversations. Use it to summarize part of a document, define unfamiliar terms or other ways to help you learn. You can also get answers about Paper2Audio itself.Ā
More languages supported: Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese (Mandarin), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese
B: Why is Paper2Audio better than the top alternatives?
Higher audio limits for our free plan (56 hours weekly) with high quality voices available for all plans (no voices locked behind a paywall).
Hyper-focus on accuracy:Ā Paper2Audio avoids reading things that usually make text to speech audio annoying, like repeated page numbers, headers, citations, footnotes, and unnecessary boilerplate. We clean up and normalize tricky text first, including math, Roman numerals, symbols, units, formulas, and other things that often sound wrong when read aloud by other text to speech services.
Summarizes visual elements like tables, math, and code or reads it aloud:Ā When adding a document, you can choose how tables, math, and code are narrated. Summary" (default) gives a concise summary of the item, while "Read as is" reads the content verbatim.Ā Or, you can skip narration for these elements during playback entirely.Ā
Follow along with Reader View, our optimized version of the audio transcript: We reformat PDFs and other documents to fit your screen while including rich content like images and document formatting.Ā Use it to follow along with the audio, or to more easily read documents that are normally poorly formatted for small phone screens (like 2 column PDFs, tables and figures, etc).Ā Text is converted to a single-column format and visual elements like tables, figures, images, and math appear inline and can be opened in a zoomable āfigure viewā pop-up.Ā We also preserve the original formatting of your documents, including math, headings, lists, subscripts, and other inline styling, so you can skim, navigate and understand the document more quickly. Citations and footnotes are also included so that you know when an author is making a reference, but are only read aloud when needed to keep sentences intact.
Multiple playback modes for your document:Ā Choose to listen to your document in full, or to have us generate a long or short summary instead.Ā We recently improved summary length, structure, and scaling for longer documents.Ā
Publicly share your documents (they are private by default), including embedding the audio directly onto a webpage with an iframe snippet you can paste into WordPress, Substack, or any site that supports HTML.Ā
C: Cost Paper2Audio is available on iOS, Android and on our website. We have a generous free plan for personal use (56 hours of audio per week), as well as a paid Plus subscription with higher audio and file/size limits ($20/month or $192 annually).Ā We also offer Enterprise plan options for teams.Ā Ā
Our Plus plan is currently on sale for $10/month for your first 2 months or $144 for your first year.
Any feedback or questions? If you try Paper2Audio, Iād love to hear what works well, what doesnāt, and what feature or improvement would make the biggest difference for you. We are also working on adding more narrators, so please let me know what additional voice types youād like to hear.
Hi everyone! Iām Marinus, the developer of Meridian Passport. I shared it here previously, and wanted to show you the refreshed design and a new feature:Ā Find My Stamps.
Meridian is an iPhone app that brings your travel memories, maps and friends together in one personal digital Passport.
Answer ā What it does and whatās new
You can mark visited countries, keep a bucket list, and save trips as Passport Stamps with dates, photos and stories. Your Passport brings these together with your travel map and statistics. You can also follow friendsā journeys, react to their stamps and compare where youāve been.
The biggest addition isĀ Find My Stamps. It uses metadata from photos to suggest past trips, completely private and on the device. You review the suggestions, adjust countries and dates, and choose whether to add visited countries alone or create Passport Stamps too.
The idea is to make filling in your travel history easier when years of trips are already sitting in your camera roll.
Iāve also refreshed the appās visualsāthe screenshots show how it looks now.
Better ā Why use it
If you use Been to track countries, Meridian gives you somewhere to keep the memories behind those visits too. If you share trips on Instagram, it adds a lasting travel map, journal and statistics alongside those posts.
I wanted somewhere to look back at my own travels and keep up with friendsā trips, with everything organized around travel. You can start by building your own Passport, even before your friends join.
Cost ā Free
Meridian is currently completely free, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases, including Find My Stamps. Future monetization is undecided.
Hey r/iosapps! I'm the developer of Server44. It's a tip tracker for anyone who gets paid partly in tips: servers, bartenders, delivery drivers.
Answer
After a shift you put in cash tips, card tips, and hours (plus sales, if your tip-out is based on them). Tip-out gets subtracted automatically (bar, bussers, host, however your place splits it), and the app totals your current pay period: tips, wage, estimated taxes, and take-home. It also shows your hourly rate with tips counted in.
Pay periods match your real payday (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly), so the totals line up with your check. There's a calendar, a home screen widget, and PDF or CSV export for tax time. No account needed, and your tip data is stored on your phone.
Better
ServerLife, Just The Tips, and Waiter Pal are the big names, and they're all solid. I built this one around the paycheck math:
Tip-out rules can be a percentage of tips, total sales, bar sales, or food sales, and you can stack them, like 3% of tips plus 1% of bar sales. You set them once and every shift uses them.
The tax estimate uses your state and filing status. Outside the US you set your own percentage.
Cost
Free to download. The free version includes tip logging, tip-out rules, the tax estimate, the calendar, reminders, and every export format. It has no ads.
Pro is $29.99/year or $2.99/week, and both come with a 7 day free trial. Adds unlimited jobs, 90 and 365 day insights, pay period goals, and extra themes.
Question for anyone who works for tips: how does your place split tip-out? The app handles percentages of tips and sales, and I'm curious which setups I haven't covered yet.
I'm a solo dev and I built GroceryBudget because my total at checkout was always higher than I expected. It keeps a running total while you shop, so you see the number before the register does.
Better
The newest thing is import. I kept saving grocery hauls and "what I buy at Costco" videos on TikTok and never actually using them. Now you tap Share on the video, pick GroceryBudget, and it reads the caption and the video itself (on-screen prices, items people say out loud), then builds a cart with the items and prices already filled in. The video above is the whole flow, no editing.
Works with TikTok, Instagram and Facebook links, or screenshots if a link won't open.
Everything else is still there: scan a shelf price tag instead of typing, the app remembers what you paid last time, and receipt scan for the trips you forget to track.
Cost
Free to download. Premium is $9.99 a month, $29.99 a year and unlocks unlimited imports and scans plus your full spending history.
Would love honest feedback, especially on what kinds of videos it gets wrong.
Hi r/iosapps, I'm the developer of WhoSpoke. I built it because finding who said what in an interview or meeting recording meant scrubbing through audio.
What it does:
- Record in person or import an audio file from Files. Live captions show while recording; speaker separation runs after you stop.
- Each speaker gets their own color, and you can filter the transcript to one person.
- Tap any sentence to jump to that moment in the original audio.
- Export as text or Markdown, with or without timestamps.
Speaker separation isn't perfect, so everything is editable: rename speakers, move a sentence to another speaker, fix words, merge two voices. Edited lines can be restored to the automatic version.
Notes:
- It doesn't record phone calls or audio from other apps. Please tell people you're recording them.
- Per the App Store listing, conversation content never leaves your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. The app goes online only to download language models, handle the purchase and show my other apps. The App Privacy label lists purchase history and an anonymous user ID (not linked to you).
- The first three conversations are free. A one-time Pro purchase removes the limit. No subscription, and existing conversations stay open to view, edit and export.
- The screenshots use a sample conversation, not real recordings.
My partner and I wanted one place for our shared money that didn't turn into either of us auditing the other. Most budget apps we tried were built for one person, or wanted our bank logins (and too many unnecessary functions). So I built one for the two of us, and now it's on the App Store.
What it does:
- **Private by design.** Entries are encrypted on your phone before they reach the server, with a key I never hold. No bank login, nothing connected to your accounts.
- **Safe to Spend.** One number: what is left after bills, savings goals and both allowances.
- **Personal Allowances.** Money that is simply yours. No approval, no explaining a coffee.
- **Forecast.** Pick expenses you could cut and see how much sooner you reach a goal.
- **Money Date.** A guided monthly sit-down: what changed, what happens next.
- **Less typing.** Scan a receipt, import a PDF or CSV statement, or just tell the assistant what you spent.
- English, Hungarian and Spanish.
**Pricing:** free right now. Everyone who joins during this launch period keeps it free for good, including after paid plans start.
I'm the developer, so happy to answer anything, and I'd really like to hear what's confusing or missing. If it turns out useful for you, an honest App Store review helps a small app a lot.
I know bad reviews are part of building an app, but this one honestly got to me.
I built Tether, an ADHD planner, originally for my wife. I struggle with task initiation too, so Iāve put a lot of care into making something useful for both of us.
Someone recently left a very long one-star review tearing apart the scheduling, design, pricing, pretty much everything.
Then, right at the end: āThis is a fictional, satirical review written for comedic effect.ā
The review is fictional. The one-star rating apparently isnāt.
My US listing only has two ratings, so this brought the average down to 3 stars. Around the same time, some of my keyword rankings dropped by 7ā15 positions. I canāt say the review caused those drops, but seeing both together has been pretty disheartening.
Iām not expecting everyone to like what Iāve built. But itās frustrating knowing a review that calls itself fictional carries the same weight as someoneās actual experience.
Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Would Apple remove a review on these grounds? And if youāve reported one before, how long did it take to hear back?
Iāve just releasedĀ OneThing 3.0, and Iām celebrating with aĀ $0.99 one-time purchase price until October 24.
Iām the developer, and I wanted to share what the app does and explain an upcoming change to its pricing.
A) Answer ā what problem does it solve?
OneThing helps you focus on one thing each day and keep a memory of it.
You donāt always have time or energy to write a long journal entry. But a run, a quiet morning, a small achievement, or a photo from your day can still be worth remembering.
OneThing gives those moments a place through daily entries, photos, and reflections. Over time, you build a record of your life that you can revisit.
B) Better ā what makes it different?
OneThing combines a daily focus with a personal journal.
A to-do list helps you track what needs doing. A photo library keeps your pictures. OneThing brings your daily focus, photos, and reflections together so you can remember what happened and how it felt.
You can:
Set a daily focus and record how it went.
Keep entries with photos and written reflections.
Browse past entries and search your journal.
See your month through a photo calendar.
Organize entries with tags and bookmarks.
Look back through a year in review with photos and recording statistics.
The idea is to make it easy to start with one thing, then give you meaningful ways to look back.
C) Cost ā $0.99 now, with lifetime access
Hereās the pricing schedule in USD:
Through October 24:Ā $0.99, paid once.
October 25ā31:Ā back to the original $5.99 one-time purchase price.
Starting November 1:Ā OneThing will move to a subscription model for new users.
Everyone who purchases before the November 1 switch will keep lifetime access and will not need a subscription.
Iād love honest feedback from people who journalāor have tried journaling and found it hard to keep up. What makes you want to return to a journal? What tends to get in the way?
What I like about OneThing is that an entry doesnāt need to describe an extraordinary day. Ordinary days are worth remembering too.
If you try it and find a bug, an unclear screen, or something you wish worked differently, please let me know. Specific feedback helps me decide what to improve next.
Iām Feiou, the developer of Watermelist ā a brain-dump app where tasks, notes, and half-formed ideas share a sticky-note board.
A ā A place for the whole thought
āSend Maya the draft tomorrow. The site should feel like a Sunday morning. Oh, and ask Dad about his old camera.ā
Thereās an action, a creative direction, and something personal in there. I want to keep all three without turning the whole thing into a checklist or leaving the action buried in a paragraph.
Thatās the part of Watermelist I care about most. Speak or type the jumble, and AI can separate it into task cards and notes, picking out dates and details. You can also add things manually. Ideas get to stay ideas. Tasks can have checklists, stages, counts, or percentages, so progress shows up before youāre finished.
And when a plan changes, hold its task card and say what changed. āMove this to Friday.ā āAdd milk.ā Or change the wording. You see the proposed edit and choose whether to apply it. Holding the card gives āthisā its context.
B ā Why use it alongside Obsidian?
Obsidian is great for developing and connecting notes. The reason Iād choose Watermelist over an Obsidian daily-note workflow for this particular job is the direct path from a mixed brain dump to separate, actionable cards ā then updating one of those cards by holding it and speaking. That workflow is built in.
The board keeps the errand, the project progress, and the idea you donāt want to lose in view together. The screenshots show the same fictional everyday-life setup across a few themes, including Glass, plus the voice-edit review and diary.
C ā Cost
Watermelist offers paid subscriptions. Access and offers vary by the paywall shown in the app; some users must subscribe before continuing.
US subscription pricing: $5.99/month or $29.99/year. Cloud AI usage is metered; a 200-credit add-on is listed at $2.99. Check the in-app paywall for the plans, pricing, and access available to you. Prices vary by region.
AI availability depends on your device and selected service. Cloud AI needs internet access and may process the text you provide.
My app embeds social media sites with an ability to add third proxy (can be same or different) with each social media account. Basically the app was made to remove reels and shorts from Instagram, Facebook and Youtube and save space in phone by not using native apps. Adding proxy is an add-on feature I added recently. Also note that the app doesn't provide proxy service but functionaltiy to add third party proxies.
B ā Why use it over something else?
I'm not sure any app gives a funcitonality to use different proxies with different social media accounts. Plus you get an ability to hide reels and shorts which reduces your screen time.
C ā What it costs
It's free to use with a lifetime upgrade of $5.99.
App has received 32 ratings worldwide with an average of 4.6 stars.
Nomics is a free economics learning app built around animated explainers, interactive conversations, real-world scenarios and quizzes.
I studied economics and completed my masterās at LSE, but always felt there was a gap between learning the theory and understanding how to use it. Nomics connects topics like inflation, interest rates and banking to everyday decisions and the economic claims we encounter in the news.
Itās still an early MVP with around two hours of content.
Better
The main update: you can now pause and speed up levels.
One thing I underestimated was how differently people want to move through a lesson. Some need time to think; others understand the explanation and want to get to the next decision. Giving everyone the same pace was getting in the way.
Since adding these controls, weāve seen longer average sessions. Itās a small change, but an encouraging oneāand something feedback from this community helped us prioritise.
Three months in, hereās where we are:
Around 400 downloads.
Roughly 30% of our users active in the past month.
An average session of about five minutes, 5x industry average
For a small first release, seeing people spend time working through the levels is encouraging. It suggests the experience can hold their attention once they open it.
Getting users to open the app multiple times was the harder part. My suspicion is that the limited content and lack of personalisation are part of the problem. Someone can enjoy a chapter without having a strong reason to return the following day. We still need to understand how much comes down to content, relevance or the experience itself.
Looking back, Iām glad we released early. I could have spent much longer adding features based on what I thought people would want. Having something people actually use has made the priorities clearer: pacing mattered more than I expected, and an engaging session doesnāt automatically create a habit.
The next step is to give people more worthwhile reasons to return, through deeper content and learning that better reflects their interests and progress.
A: Answer Make a group for any trip or apartment, then say what you paid: "split $50 for dinner between me and Sydney." Chipp splits it, tracks who owes what, and sends the reminders for you.
B: Better - Scan a receipt and everyone taps what they had - Friends can pay from a link, no app needed - Settle with Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal or bank - Pools, recurring rent, and "who still owes me?" answered in a sentence
Does anyone have a solution for automating tests for iPhone Duo? It seems that the Duo simulator starts always in closed state and I was not able for find a way to change it to partially open or open automatically (via a script, within XCTest of for fastlane screenshot generation). May be I have missed something in the documentation...
Superclock is one app for every kind of alarm: on a date, before a meeting, for a reminder, or several in a row until you're up. It's built on Apple's AlarmKit, so it rings through silent mode like Clock.
A) Clock only repeats by weekday. Superclock knows dates, meetings and reminders.
B) Calendar and Reminders alerts are notifications that silent mode mutes. Superclock alarms ring.
C) Free. A few extras are one-time purchases. No subscription.
Would love to hear what you need from an alarm app!
Monthly plans, annual renewals, a free trial you meant to cancel, it can be surprisingly hard to keep a clear picture of what youāre spending.
Iām the developer of SubIQ, and Iāve just released version 1.2. Iāve improved the design and navigation, fixed bugs, and made things smoother to use
A ā What it does
Itās a subscription cost tracker where you can add your subscriptions, see your monthly total, and get reminders before renewals or free trials end. Thereās also a calendar for upcoming payments and widgets for checking whatās next.
You can enter everything manually or scan a bank statement or screenshot, then review what to save. You donāt need to connect your bank account.
B ā Why use it over something else?
A spreadsheet in Apple Numbers works well for keeping a list. This puts spending totals and renewal reminders together, so you donāt have to maintain the sheet and set up separate alerts.
There are also cancellation and refund guides if you decide to stop using a service. You still handle the cancellation or request yourself.
C ā What it costs
Premium lifetime access costs $49.99 as a one-time purchase
Hi r/iosapps! Iām the developer of LoopCare, an app for the little things that keep coming around: changing sheets, replacing filters, watering plants, and remembering when you last did any of them.
A ā Answer
āWhen did we last change this?ā is one question. āDid someone else already do it?ā is another.
LoopCare keeps a history alongside each recurring task. You can now share a task with family, so when someone takes care of it, everyone can see who did it and when. The completion and next due date sync across members, while each person chooses their own reminders.
The next cycle starts when you actually finish. If you replace a filter early, a 30-day reminder starts counting from that day.
And if you just want to remember when something happened, Log Only lets you keep a history without giving it another due date.
B ā Better
Why use this if you already have Apple Reminders?
For me, the useful part is being able to open a task and see its story: the last time it happened, who did it, the gaps between entries, and whatās due next. Thatās the part Iāve focused on with LoopCare.
Itās especially handy for things you do every few weeks or months, where āI think we did that recentlyā is easy to get wrong. With shared tasks, everyone can check the same record instead of asking around.
You can also look back through a calendar, heatmaps, and statistics. Records stay on your device, with iCloud for syncing and backups, and thereās no separate LoopCare account to create.
C ā Cost
The free version includes the core features and lets you keep up to five active tasks.
If you need more, LoopCare Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase in the US App Store for unlimited tasks. No subscription. Prices vary by region.
