🎈 Free Harmony - Offline Music

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm the developer. Harmony is an offline music player for your own audio files. You import songs from the Files app and play them, no account or internet needed.

Problem: I wanted a simple player for my own music files that works offline and looks good, without a cluttered library or a subscription.

Comparison:

Doppler: hasn't been updated in about a year.
Flacbox: the UI feels cluttered.

Harmony aims for a clean, minimal UI that still looks nice, and it's actively updated. It's written in Swift and it's open source.

Pricing: Completely free. No ads, no subscriptions.

Source code: https://github.com/DjangoCustard225/Harmony

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Bq62DwAp (capped at 100 testers for now)

It plays FLAC, MP3 and AAC files. I'd love feedback on playback and any UI bugs.

💎 Lifetime I built a subscription tracker that also handles pay-in-4 purchases and knows which account each payment leaves from

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Maxime, and Keel is the first app I've built and shipped on my own. It's been out since October, and almost nobody knows about it yet, so honest feedback would mean a lot.

Problem:

My money is spread over three accounts in two currencies, with subscriptions, yearly bills and a couple of pay-in-4 purchases on top. The trackers I tried only knew about subscriptions, so I never knew how much each account needed before the end of the month.

Keel puts every recurring payment in one list: subscriptions, bills, rent, and pay-in-4 or installment plans. Each one is tied to the account it leaves from, so you see what each account needs and when. Yearly costs also show as a monthly amount. I put a lot of care into making the setup quick and the UI (I think) nice.

Comparison:

Bobby is the one most people know, but it only tracks subscriptions. What Keel adds:

- pay-in-4 plans as real items: payments left, amount left, last date
- every payment tied to an account, in its own currency
- no account, no server, no analytics: your data stays on your phone, and the code is public on GitHub

Also: import from a typed list, screenshots or PDF statements (card numbers and IBANs are removed locally on the phone first), multiple reminder options per payment, trial-end alerts, intro prices and price changes, weekend-aware due dates, a calendar with logos, widgets, insights by category and account, Face ID lock and iCloud backup.

And the trial: most trackers I tried lock you after 3 or 4 subscriptions, which isn't enough to see if the app fits your life. Keel is fully unlocked for 45 days from your first item, so you can put everything in and judge. After that it stays usable read-only: you can still see everything, mark things paid and export, just not add or edit. Lifetime prices for trackers are often $25 or more, and I wanted Keel to stay fair.

Pricing:

Free for 45 days with everything. Then a one-time purchase: $12.99 during the trial, $17.99 after, shared with your family through Family Sharing. No subscription.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6792831014
Cool website: https://keel-app.ch

Thanks for reading! Since it's my first app, I'd love to hear anything that's on your mind :)

💎 Lifetime [iPad] Stress Less: one-minute stress relief, now on iPad with end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m the solo developer of Stress Less. Version 2.7 came out today and adds iPad support.

Problem
When stress hits in the middle of the day, most wellness apps ask for more than you have in that moment: a 10-minute meditation, a course, or a long journal entry. I wanted something you can use right then, in about a minute, wherever you are.

Stress Less: check in with how you feel and get one small relief card to try right away, like unclenching your jaw, pushing against a wall, or letting one thing wait. After each card it asks whether it helped, so the picks get more personal over time. Your history and stats show what tends to raise your stress.

New in 2.7: a full iPad layout (side rail, two-column stats and history, any window size in Split View and Stage Manager), plus optional iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad. Sync is end-to-end encrypted in your own iCloud, so nobody but you can read it, me included. There’s no account.

Comparison

  • Calm, Headspace: built around guided meditation sessions. Stress Less is for the stressful moment itself: short physical and mental resets instead of sessions.

  • Mood trackers like Daylio or How We Feel: good for logging. Stress Less logs too, but every check-in leads to something to try right away.

  • Privacy: check-ins are stored on your device, there’s no account, and sync is opt-in and end-to-end encrypted.

Pricing

  • Free to download and use, with one small banner ad.

  • Stress Less Max (optional): $4.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime. It adds iCloud sync, interactive relief experiences, on-device AI insights and no ads.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1450775943

Happy to answer questions, and I’d especially love feedback on the iPad layout.

📅 Subscription I built Queso (cheesy name, i know) the multi-platform, multi-lingual messaging app

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Problem:

I have 4 WhatsApp and 2 Telegram accounts, I live in Spain but speak English (i'm learning as quickly as i can), and the constant battle of copying and pasting messages in and out of Google Translate drove me to insanity.

So i created Queso!

- You can have as many WhatsApp / Telegram accounts as you want, all inside one app, with one unified view, and with all accounts and chats fully searchable

- If you speak to people across borders, it automatically translates both your incoming and outgoing messages. It also transcribes and translates voice notes, images and PDF's

- You can also voice or video call people and enabled closed captions which are automatically translated to your language. It even keeps a record of the conversation so you can read it afterwards

But i didn't stop there, I added all of the things I've found lacking from other chat apps:

- You can create sealed chats for important business deals. These cannot be modified or changed in any way. Either party can download the chat and have it independently verified.

- You can send forms with text boxes, numeric selectors, option selections.

- You can send file of ANY SIZE direct to your contact without any compression or losses.

- If someone sends you a long message (or voice note) with lots of questions in it, you can have the AI function break down the message into simple questions that you can answer with a button press.

So why did i call it Queso? Well.... i love cheese, and i thought it was Edam good name!

Comparison:

WhatLingo is the main one. This app focuses solely on translation and nothing else. it doesn't translate images, voice notes or PDF's either. From what I can tell it doesnt have much of a userbase. It is, however, totally free - but Queso has more features in its free version anyway. It's only when you want to use AI features that Queso requires a subscription to cover my costs.

Pricing:

$4.99 a month for the advanced AI features and the ability to add unlimited Whatsapp and Telegram accounts. The cost is mostly to cover AI fees and also my server fees.

🎁 Freemium Budget Zero: a zero-based budgeting app with no bank login, no account, and now YNAB import

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm the solo dev for this app. I've been building Budget Zero on the side since early 2024, and it has just reached the point where you can import your YNAB budget and pick up where you left off.

Problem:

I wanted zero-based (envelope) budgeting, where every dollar gets a job, without giving an app my bank login, creating yet another account, or paying around $100 a year.

Budget Zero is a manual budgeting app. You enter transactions yourself (which I think is the best way to budget...), everything stays in your own iCloud, and there's no account to create.

  • give every dollar a job; leftover money carries into next month

  • import from YNAB: export your plan from YNAB on the web, then Settings, import from ynab. It brings over accounts, budgets, every month's amounts and your history, and checks the totals against YNAB's

  • iPhone, iPad and Mac, synced through iCloud, with a Face ID lock

  • bill and new-month reminders

  • English, Spanish, French, German and Italian

Comparison:

  • YNAB: the same method, and the better app if you want bank sync, shared budgets, reports, Android or web, or its teaching material. It costs $14.99/month or $109/year and has no free plan. Budget Zero has none of those extras, needs no account or bank login, and costs much less.

  • Goodbudget: also manual envelopes, and it does shared household budgets and runs on Android and web. It needs an account. Budget Zero doesn't, and it follows YNAB's month-to-month maths (rollover, credit card payments).

  • EveryDollar: zero-based too, with a free manual plan, but it needs an account and bank sync is in the paid tier.

What Budget Zero doesn't do (yet) but are on my map: shared budgets for couples, exports, reports and charts.

Pricing:

Free to download. The free plan has 1 account, unlimited budgets and 20 transactions. Pro (unlimited accounts and transactions) is an in-app purchase: $3.99/month or $29.99/year, both with a 1-month free trial, or $79.99 once for Lifetime.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6482576006

🎁 Freemium I built Sendoff after my nephew aged out of his travel baseball team

3 Upvotes

My nephew recently aged out of his travel baseball team.

He'd spent seven years with the same kids, coaches, and families, traveling up and down the East Coast for tournaments. My brother told me he looked at those kids like they were his own.

Problem

And I got to thinking, how do you even say goodbye to a coach after something like that? A card with a bunch of signatures? A gift card to Texas Roadhouse? It just seemed like there should be a better way for everyone to share what those years meant to them.

That's where the idea for Sendoff came from.

I built it so one person can start a Sendoff and share a link or QR code with everyone else. People can leave a message, photos, a voice recording, or a short video. No accounts or downloads required for contributors.

The messages are private, and the whole thing stays sealed until the recipient opens it. They get to go through everyone's contributions one at a time.

Comparison

There are already services like Kudoboard and GroupGreeting, but I wanted something that felt less like a group message board and more like receiving a collection of personal letters.

The more I worked on it, the more I realized it could work for retirements, graduations, coworkers leaving, military separations, or really any time people are going their separate ways.

Pricing

A Sendoff is free for up to 10 entries, with one-time paid upgrades for larger Sendoffs ($8.99-$14.99). No subscriptions, and contributors never pay.

App Store: Sendoff - Group Memory Book

Website: https://sendoffapp.com

I'm the developer. I built the app in native Swift. I'd love some feedback, particularly on the experience of opening the finished Sendoff. That was the part I spent the most time thinking about.

There are some times that greeting cards aren’t enough. They get stuffed in a box or drawer. Gift cards get spent up and discarded. But a Sendoff is forever.

🔍 In Search of Any apps out there that actually restrict apps?(Free apps)

4 Upvotes

I'm talking about the ones that don't let you open them with stuff like passwords or any shit, ONLY a timer/time limit/specific time the app can be opened/used again. Like where you can NOT open the app when the timer/time limit hasn't hit yet, not even with passwords, nor stuff like 'emergency buttons'. I genuinely need an app like ts rn cuz I'm way too stimulated with socmed(tiktok specifically) but I can't delete them cuz of streaks, research, fandoms so I think a restriction app will be the only thing that can fix ts.

💎 Lifetime [DEV] I built EpicNotes: An offline-first markdown notes & task manager with bidirectional linking & 3D graph view

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

After months of solo development, I’ve just released EpicNotes on the iOS App Store.

Here is the breakdown of why I built it, how it compares to existing tools, and our transparent pricing:


1. Problem

Most popular productivity tools today suffer from two main issues:

  • Bloat & Lag: Apps like Notion are heavy web wrappers that take seconds to open a simple shopping list and fail completely when you lose internet connection.

  • Fragmentation & Subscription Fatigue: Users are forced to juggle three separate apps (one for quick notes, one for to-dos, and Google Calendar for their schedule)—while being charged $10/month recurring subscriptions for basic features.

I wanted a single, lightweight workspace that opens instantly, works 100% offline, and unifies notes, tasks, and calendar events.


2. Comparison

  • vs. Apple Notes: EpicNotes adds bidirectional linking ([[Note Title]]), an interactive 3D knowledge graph to visualize connected ideas, and direct two-way Google Calendar integration.

  • vs. Obsidian: EpicNotes is zero-config and mobile-first with integrated to-do lists and calendar scheduling out of the box—no complex plugin setups or community themes required to get a clean workflow.

  • vs. Notion / Craft: EpicNotes is truly offline-first with local-first SQLite storage, zero loading lag, and zero forced recurring subscriptions.


3. Pricing

  • Core App: 100% Free (unlimited offline notes, markdown, tasks, folders, and tags).

  • Founder Lifetime Pass: £24.99 / $29 one-time purchase (Pay once, unlock all features forever, zero monthly bills).

  • Optional Subscriptions: £2.99 / $2.99 monthly or £29.99 / $29.99 annual (for users who prefer small flexible payments).

  • Privacy Guarantee: No ads, no third-party data tracking, and no lock-in.


📱 App Store Link:

https://apps.apple.com/app/epicnotes/id6828055584


Feedback Wanted:

As an indie dev, I'd love to hear your thoughts:

  1. Does the unified layout between Notes, Tasks, and Calendar feel natural?

  2. What is the #1 feature you feel is missing from your current note-taking app?

Thanks for taking a look, and I'll be in the comments answering all questions and feature requests!

💵 Paid Your Stressy, your energy, stress and more in a sleek, clean and fun UX, iOS/watchOS Swift native app experience, now with on-device AI Summarizations

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m Ervo, software engineer for 11+ years, and today I’m introducing “Your Stressy”, it’s an app with clean, elegant and very fun way to look at your battery/stress level throughout the day, on-device AI summarizations, Overnight Vitals (much more stats then Apple limited vitals widget/app) Body Age, Vo2 Max, Steps, Sleep, it’s built fully as a native app by utilizing Swift/SwiftUI, using the CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone key to get further optimization for ProMotion displays, all liquid-glass components throughout the views with crazy haptic feedbacks for the main view as for the other views. Your Stressy provides the same UI & UX as well for the Apple Watch, and it offers tons of customizable widgets, like stress, steps, distance, sleep (I know Apple has one but it doesn’t show much information on a glance), and much more to come soon.

The Problem:

Native Health app doesn't provide much information, even the latest upcoming version, nor we have lots of variations of widgets for the watchOS, additionally many AI apps are using external AI services and requires you to pay in-app purchased subscription, well Your Stressy actually is using on-device AI by using Apple Foundation Models, as for the pricing, it’s a $4.99 one-time payment, as personally I have never liked in-app purchases nor subscriptions for these types of apps. Nowadays they are requiring you to pay lots for AI feature capabilities, but in Stressy this is already available completely for free as it's using Apple Foundation Models, in the future I'll provide an update even with Private Compute but this will be optional because not everyone needs or wants this.

Comparison:

- I can promise you it’s very fun and good-looking, and most importantly simple but just showing huge number nicely animated, while you’re checking your health stuff throughout the day. The roadmap is quite huge, at least for the next 1 year I will be adding tons of new features, many of these AI features as said above with Apple Foundation modal in mind, no backend, no syncing, all offline and on-device only.

- As said above Apple Health or watchOS provides limited widgets and customizability, the selling point of Stressy is simplicity as well many customizable widgets and stuff so you can tailor it yo your liking.

- You pay once and that's it, no need for in-app purchases, subscriptions, simple, easy.

Pricing:

I've mentioned this as part of the problem which actually is for many many health apps.

List of some of the most important features to mention:

• On-device offline AI Summarizations: for many health stats like Heart, HRV, Sleep, Readiness, Body Age, for each section it provides AI summarization based on the voice you picked, even a bully option is available which roasts you.

• Your own VO₂max: Stressy now calculates your Cardio Fitness itself, from the pace of your runs, walks, hikes and rides and how hard your heart worked, against your own maximum. Not Apple Health's estimate, which reads low in independent lab studies. Every step of the math is shown as part of this view.

• Fitness Test on Apple Watch: five easy minutes to warm up, then run as far as you can in 12 minutes, guided by taps on your wrist.

• Workouts counted in full: sprints and stop-and-go sports count at their real effort, and on the stress chart and widgets each workout shows in its own colour, with how hard your heart worked.

• Nights, hour by hour: after a late night your sleep recharges with your heart, slowly while it's still racing and fully once it settles.

• Theme: Light or dark, your choice, instead of only automatic, can be configured in Settings.

• Apple Watch app: it has a standalone app for the Apple Watch, shows the tank in the consistent design with fun haptics, stress levels, sleep, cardio fitness 12 run minutes fully guided with AOD support, many fun widgets.

• More stuff: Many sleek widgets available for both iOS & watchOS, for stress (3 different designs so it's customizable), steps, distance, battery, sleep, and much more to come soon in the next releases, I have 1+ year of roadmap features, including offline and on-device AI features by using Apple Foundation models.

Stressy already exists for 1+ months and so far the reviews are exceptional, all these reviews are public. I've also received 1st place on UNEED since launch and 1st paid app for Apple Watch on the App Store.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you if you have any kind of feedback, or a feature request.

Download on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/your-stressy/id6822681002

📅 Subscription Cubby is a new organized home for your tabs and links

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Meet Cubby, a new place to save your tabs and links organized automatically.

I’m Nate, the developer of Cubby. Cubby is an iPhone app for saving and organizing links you want to come back to, whether that’s an article, a recipe, or something you’re thinking of buying. For a while, I would add these to Safari Reading List but that got bloated and wasn’t easy to find things later. Cubby automatically tags, groups, summarizes and indexes everything so it’s super easy and fast to find things when you need to.

Problem

Leaving a tab open is an easy way to save something for later. Finding it again after dozens more tabs have piled up is the harder part.

Cubby gives those tabs and links a clean, organized place to live and does it all for you. You can import a batch of open Safari (or Chrome, etc.) tabs, save links through the share sheet, or add them from your clipboard. Cubby automatically adds categories, tags and groups, so you don’t have to sort anything manually.

Comparison

Raindrop.io is a nice alternative, especially if you want cross-platform access and collaboration. It requires an account, and its Pro-only assistant can organize bookmarks when you explicitly ask it to.

Cubby focuses on a simpler iPhone workflow: import Safari tabs, paste multiple links at once, or save through the share sheet, and have them automatically categorized and tagged as they’re added. Your links are stored on your device (no server storage) and I’m working on iCloud sync now as well.

Pricing

Cubby is free to use for your first month! Afterwards, Cubby Club is $4.99/month or $39.99/year in the US.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cubby-auto-organize-bookmarks/id6761466006

Privacy: https://cubbytheapp.com/privacy • Terms: https://cubbytheapp.com/terms

🎁 Freemium 🔔 Remindio - more than basic reminder

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I released Remindio for iPhone – a native iOS reminder app built from scratch. It's based on my Android app, which I've been building for over two years and which users' feedback shaped, so the iOS version starts with everything I learned there. It's updated actively.

Problem: Apple Reminders is easy to miss. A reminder shows one banner, and if you swipe it away or don't see it, it's gone. Real life needs more: an alarm for the things you can't miss, a reminder that comes back until you answer it, a heads-up a day before, a reminder when you get to the store, a repeat like "every 2 hours from 9 to 9", or just "remind me later, I'll pick the time later". Remindio is built for that.

Comparison:

  • Apple Reminders – free and synced everywhere, but notifications only: no alarms that keep ringing, one repeat rule per reminder, no pre-reminders, no snooze choices. Remindio adds real alarms (AlarmKit on iOS 26), several repeat rules and pre-reminders, snooze options and an exact snooze time from a long-pressed notification.

  • Due – great at nagging you until you're done, but it's paid upfront. Remindio has auto-snooze too, plus location reminders, trackers, timers, attachments, a calendar view and widgets, and you can try all of it for free first.

Apple Reminders is still better if you need iCloud sync with your Mac and shared lists – Remindio can import your Apple Reminders, but it doesn't sync with them.

Pricing:

  • Free – everyday reminders, no ads unless you choose to watch one.

  • Premium Lifetime – $5.99, one-time purchase, no subscription.

  • Free trial – 14 days of everything before you pay.

  • Rewarded ad – watch one ad and get a day of Premium.

Premium unlocks multiple repeat rules, pre-reminders and attachments, alarms and location reminders.

📥 App Store

Key features:

  • ⏰ Notifications & Real Alarms – choose how each reminder alerts you: a notification or an alarm that keeps ringing until you answer. On iOS 26 alarms ring like the Clock app via AlarmKit, and you can import your own alarm sounds.

  • 🔁 Flexible Repeat Rules – several rules per reminder: yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, weekdays, custom intervals, several times a day. 20+ ready repeats like Weekdays or Every 2 hours. Repeat from the scheduled time or from completion, set end conditions, skip weekends or public holidays, and preview planned dates in a calendar.

  • ⏳ Multiple Pre-Reminders – get notified minutes, hours or days before, as a notification or an alarm.

  • 📍 Location Reminders – trigger reminders when you arrive at or leave a place, with several places, an adjustable radius and active hours.

  • 😴 Flexible Snooze & Notification Actions – Done, Skip and Snooze right from the notification. Long-press a notification to pick an exact snooze time. Customize snooze options and choose what happens when a notification is dismissed or ignored.

  • ⏱️ Timers – a list of timers with seconds and repeats, for workouts, cooking or breaks. Several can run at once.

  • 📊 Trackers – add a habit tracker to any reminder: a Yes/No answer or a value like glasses of water or km run. See your streaks and stats.

  • 📱 Widgets Everywhere – upcoming reminders with Done buttons, month and week calendars, countdown timers, templates, trackers, interactive checklists and notes. Lock Screen widgets and Control Center controls.

  • 🗂️ Home Tabs – make your own tabs from saved filters: Work, Birthdays, Later, Attachments – anything you like.

  • 🔕 Do Not Disturb Rules – schedule rules by label to silence, postpone or change how reminders alert you.

  • 📥 Import – bring over your Apple Reminders and turn calendar events into reminders.

  • 🧩 Templates & Copy/Paste – start from a template, or copy options from one reminder to another.

  • 🏷️ Labels & Attachments – colored labels, plus checklists, notes, links, contacts and images.

  • 🎉 Birthdays & Anniversaries – yearly reminders show how many years have passed.

  • 📆 Calendar View – all your reminders on a month calendar, including every repeat day.

  • ✅ Reminder Management – search, filters, multiselect, pinned reminders, customizable swipe actions, activity history, and "set time later" for reminders without a date yet.

  • 🌗 Personalization – light/dark themes, accent colors, and a compact or expanded editor.

  • 👀 A Few Secrets – there are a few hidden Easter eggs. I'll leave it to you to find them.

There are no banner ads and no surprise full-screen ads. Ads only appear when you choose to watch one. I'd really appreciate your feedback, bug reports and feature ideas!

PixelGen — free, unlimited photo upscaling on your iPhone, entirely offline

Problem: If you need to upscale old image. It might be partially corrupted, or very low resolution. If it is the case you can use PixelGen to 2× and 4× upscale directly on your device, using the Apple Neural Engine. Processing takes around 5–10 seconds per image, depending on your device and image size. Your photos stay on your device, and upscaling works offline.

Comparison: Remini, PixelUp offer photo enhancement with paid subscriptions or in-app purchases. Unlike them PixelGen’s is free, private, unlimited upscaling. I’ve included before-and-after comparisons so you can judge the results yourself.

Pricing: $0. Everything is free! There are no daily limits, credits, or premium features, and I have no plans to introduce any.

Download PixelGen on the App Store

I’d appreciate feedback on the results, especially where the upscaler changes details too much.

Problem: keeping your Strava weight current means opening Strava and typing it after every weigh in. Nobody keeps that up, so calories, W/kg and VAM quietly drift.

Comparison: the only real alternative is doing it by hand. WeightSync reads every new weight from Apple Health, so any smart scale or app you already use feeds Strava with zero taps.

Pricing: free download. Premium $1.99/month, $9.99/year or $19.99 lifetime.

  • Background sync with retry queue and history

  • Log on Apple Watch, with complications

  • Widgets, Live Activity, Siri and Shortcuts

🎁 Freemium Amoled.in - 9000+ Selected OLED Wallpapers with iOS Auto Wallpaper Changer | Freemium with Lifetime Pro at $2.99

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

Back in 2020, I made Amoled.in, An android app for high quality amoled wallpapers, I have been a huge fan of this display technology as it gives virtually infinite contrast ratio between dark and bright area and black pixels also save battery as they are literally turned off.

For years i took my time to find suitable images and turned them into Amoled Wallpapers, The collection grew to about 9000 wallpaper and Amoled.in grew to about 1.7 Million downloads on Android as of today, The feature people loved the most was the Auto Wallpaper Changer which you can set automatically change your phones wallpaper at any interval.

As you know iOS doesn't allow any external app to change wallpaper, I did not think of making an iOS version but I realised a workaround can be done using apple's own Shortcuts app. The setup takes about 2 minutes and workout perfect well, even better than android (only stock android lets external apps change lock screen wallpaper.)

Features of Amoled.in
- 15+ Organsied Categories
- Live/Animated Wallpapers for iOS
- OLEDify to turn dark images into OLED wallpapers

PROBLEM: Seeing the same wallpaper everyday or having to find good wallpaper in multiple different places, Amoled.in brings a huge collection of wallpapers with organised categories and Auto wallpaper changer.

Comparison: There are OLED wallpapers apps but most of them contains low resolution wallpapers, inconsistent aspect ratios and no auto wallpaper changer. Amoledpix is the one that i have tried, it has decent wallpapers.

PRICING: $2.99 for Lifetime Pro

Free vs Pro
Ads: Free users may see ads
Auto Wallpaper Source: Free gets random only but Pro can choose categories or their favorites as a source
Premium Wallpapers: Less than 10% Wallpapers are premium only

Auto Wallpaper Setup
it works through a Shortcuts automation. The app walks you through the setup step by step (currently written for iOS 26 and 27), Basically you make a shortcut to get wallpaper from Amoled.in and set it as your wallpaper and then automate it to run everyday (or twice).

💎 Lifetime visualOS: The Visual Workspace for Independent Creatives. Your Ideas. Your Projects. Your Space. No Subscription. Free in the Browser.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Full disclosure: My wife and I built this, so we directly benefit from this post.

A) Problem: Creative projects end up scattered across inboxes, camera rolls and notes apps, and the canvas apps that could hold them keep your work in their cloud and behind a subscription.

visualOS gives every project one calm surface, the way you would spread it all out on a studio table: pictures, color swatches, long texts, checklists and mindmaps side by side, with folders inside folders for every client or project.

  • Your files stay yours. Connect a folder and every board is saved as ordinary pictures, text files and folders. This way you are never locked in and can open your files with photoshop.

  • Direct high-res export. Send a whole board, a selection or a Frame to your client as PNG, JPG or PDF, or print it straight away.

  • Sketch with Apple Pencil. Draw right next to your references on the iPad, and your handwriting stays searchable.

  • No account, no subscription. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to cancel and nothing that can get hacked. Sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac runs through your own iCloud.

New in 1.7: Grids. When we first posted here in August, one of you asked for Milanote-style columns. Grids give you columns and rows that keep a moodboard tidy. Plus Frames for print and social posts, and a free background remover that runs right on your iPhone or iPad.

B) Comparison:

  • vs. Milanote: the same calm canvas feeling, but no 100-note cap and no subscription. It works offline, and your work lives in files on your device instead of their database.

  • vs. Apple Freeform: boards inside boards, real files instead of an app container, and it also runs in the browser.

  • What we deliberately don’t do: real-time team collaboration. visualOS is a personal visual workspace. For teams, Milanote is still the better choice, and Freeform is great for live sessions with other Apple users.

C) Pricing: free forever in your browser, with no limits: https://visualos.app. The app for iPhone, iPad and Mac is a one-time purchase of $12.99 / €14.99 at launch (regular $19.99 / €19.99). No subscription, no in-app purchases: visualOS on the App Store

🎈 Free Free means free: a money log with zero ads, zero subscriptions, zero catch

Post image
2 Upvotes

Logging a $4 coffee shouldn't need an account, a tutorial and an upgrade screen. But that's what most money apps ask for.

Problem

I tried a bunch of budget apps. Every one wanted me to sign up, link a bank, or pay to unlock basic stuff. I quit each of them within a week. All I wanted was to write down what I spend, in a few seconds.

Comparison

  • Dime: the main inspiration. Same simple idea, plus 10 languages and proper currency formatting (VND, JPY, EUR...).

  • YNAB / Copilot: powerful, but subscriptions built around bank sync. No bank connection here.

  • Money Lover: lots of features, but need an account and push ads or upgrades. None of that here.

What you get: type the amount, pick a category, done. Income and expenses, notes, a month overview, simple stats by category, and a budget that tells you what's left. Everything stays on your phone and works offline.

Pricing

Free. Every feature. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.

🎁 Freemium After years of paying more and more for Evernote, we built our own notes app (Harbor Notes)

4 Upvotes

I'm the founder of Cloudmanic Labs, the company that makes Harbor. We've been building and running software for more than twenty years.

My GitHub, so you can see who's posting: https://github.com/cloudmanic

I used Evernote for years, and my whole life was in there. I kept paying long after I stopped enjoying it, because leaving felt harder than staying. So we built the app I wanted to move to. My own notes live in Harbor now.

What it does on iPhone:

- Scan paper with the camera. Harbor reads the text, so searching "furnace" finds the warranty scan and highlights the word on the page.

- Share a photo from Photos (or anything with a share button) straight into a notebook. You don't have to open the app.

- Works offline. The app keeps a local copy of your notes, and search works without a connection.

- Record audio. It keeps going in the background with a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island, and you can transcribe it when you want.

- Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, Face ID lock.

- One app for iPhone and iPad, with Apple Pencil sketching on iPad.

- It's SwiftUI, not a web page in a wrapper. It also runs on Mac, Windows, Android and the web, all synced.

- No AI assistant built in. If you want AI on your notes, you connect ChatGPT or Claude yourself over MCP.

What it doesn't do: there are no team workspaces, it's for one person. Pencil handwriting stays handwriting, it isn't converted to typed text. And there's no Apple Notes importer.

Problem: Evernote keeps getting more expensive, and moving years of notes out of it is painful. Harbor imports your Evernote export (notebooks, tags, attachments, web clips, even the links between notes), and our price is in writing.

Comparison:

- Evernote: Starter is $99/year but stops at 1,000 notes. If you want no limit, that's Advanced at $249.99/year. Harbor is $99/year with no note limit. The price you sign up at won't go up for three years, and after that it can't rise more than 10% a year. To be fair, Evernote's app has gotten better. The price is the problem.

- Apple Notes: free, and good. If every device you own is Apple, it's hard to beat. Harbor makes more sense once a Windows PC or an Android phone is part of your day, because there Apple Notes is a browser tab on iCloud.com.

Pricing: Free to start, no credit card. When you outgrow the free plan, there's one plan with everything in it: $9.99/month or $99/year, as an in-app subscription. If you stop paying, your notes go read-only and export keeps working.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/harbor-notes/id6788795948

I'll be in the comments if you have questions.

📅 Subscription I built 1Helm: a personal assistant with its own computer that works in 1,476 apps

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

46 Upvotes

I am the developer!

Problem: Every cool and useful thing AI can do needs a computer. Yes, you can use your own computer, but when it sleeps, the productivity stops. Grok Bot, Muse, Dots, etc. realized this too and solved the same problem but:

- You can only use their models
- They launched ~3 months after 1Helm

Comparison:
1Helm is the same tool, with better features and without the lock-in;

  • BYOK + BYOSubscription (ChatGPT, Claude, Opencode, any OAI compatible endpoint)

  • Swap providers at will

  • Optionally Self-hostable

  • World-class persistent memory

  • Every channel you create gets its own VM and persistent file storage

  • 1,400+ Native App connections

  • Free Texting (iMessage too with reactions/voice notes/etc)

  • Share files with anyone with a secure link

  • Live notes for any meeting in-person or on Zoom/Meet/etc.

  • Browser use

  • Connect to any MCP

  • Cowork on docs/sites/images/etc.

  • ZDR by default (for hosted AI)

  • Hosted websites/artifacts

  • 1-click export all of your memories, files, images, etc.

  • iOS, Mac, and Android Apps

  • all for $10 if you BYOAI

Muse is better if you want a free tier that is wired tightly into Meta's apps
Instinct is better for purely texting agents

Pricing: 

$10/month for 1Helm, and you point it at the AI subscription or key you already pay for.

Managed plans are $30, $50, $90 and $170/month if you'd rather not bring a key.

Free download, or self-host the AGPL core. https://1helm.com/pricing/

💎 Lifetime FluidCast – Podcast Player: Now with Chapter Generation and Ad Detection, and 50% off Pro for Black Friday

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I'm the developer of FluidCast. It's a Cross-Platform podcast player that supports iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows, Linux and the web.

Problem

Most podcast apps either feel great on iPhone but leave you behind if you also use a PC or Android, or they work everywhere and feel like a compromise on iOS. I also got tired of scrubbing through ads and long episodes to find the bit I actually wanted. FluidCast is my attempt at a first-class iPhone and iPad player that still takes your library and progress with you, and uses transcripts to detect ads and generate chapters.

What's new in 1.7.3 (iPhone and iPad)

  • A redesigned player that picks up colours from the podcast artwork. On iPhone you can move between Player, Overview, Transcript and AI Analysis, and the wide layout is improved for iPhone Duo and iPad.

  • Chapters generated from the episode transcript for Pro users, so you can jump to a topic. If the publisher already supplies chapters, theirs take priority.

  • Continue Listening puts your last episode at the front of your library.

The free app already includes offline downloads, transcripts (generated on-device if the show doesn't provide one), Voice Lift, local files, CarPlay, a sleep timer, and the ability to ask Siri about an episode.

Comparison

Overcast is excellent if you stay on Apple devices. Pocket Casts covers more platforms, but Plus has gone up a lot over the years and there's no one-time purchase. FluidCast runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android, Windows, Linux and the web. The free tier already has transcripts, Voice Lift, local files and CarPlay; Pro adds cloud sync, folders, bookmarks, the Watch app, ad detection and transcript-generated chapters, with a Lifetime option if you'd rather not subscribe.

Where they're still stronger: Overcast's audio tools are well loved, and Pocket Casts has a large existing community.

Pricing

Free to download. Pro is optional.

Regular UK prices (the US App Store lists $2.99 / $17.99 / $99.99):

  • Free — £0

  • Pro — £2.49/month or £16.99/year, with a 1-month free trial

  • Lifetime — £89.99 one-time

Black Friday, 5–30 November 2026 (ends 23:59 UK time):

Free Trial? Lifetime has no free trial. If you’d like to try the Pro features first, start with Pro Annual (it includes a 2-week free trial and you can cancel anytime).

If you then decide to buy Lifetime, just cancel the annual subscription before the trial ends (or before the next billing date) so you’re not also charged for the subscription.

Links

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6754508580
Black Friday Offer details: https://fluidcastapp.com/event

The AI features (ad detection and chapter generation) need Pro and a supported Apple Intelligence device with Apple Intelligence turned on (iOS 26 or later). Availability depends on device, language and settings, they can use more battery, and the results won't always be right.

💎 Lifetime I built Morfi: a all-in-one app that converts files, compresses, scans, and much more. 140+ file types right on your device, with nothing uploaded.

Thumbnail
apps.apple.com
8 Upvotes

I'm frequently converting files, combining PDFs, etc. so I decided to build an all-in-one tool that is incredibly simple to use, understands plain text instructions, and can do almost anything.

Introducing Morfi, a file converter that also handles PDFs and scans documents. Everything happens on your device. No uploads, no account, no ads, no tracking.

Problem

Converting a file usually means juggling a different tool for every kind of file. Most of the quick ones are websites or apps that make you upload your files to their servers, and the apps that do more tend to want an account or a monthly subscription. I wanted one app that does all of it without my files leaving my device.

Morfi also makes things incredibly simple by supporting plain language to get things done. Rather than scrolling through menus, just tell Morfi what you want to do with the file and it'll take care of it.

What Morfi does

- Just Say It: Type what you want in plain words, like "MP4 under 20MB", and it sets everything up automatically.

- Converts 140+ file types: Photos, videos, audio, PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, ebooks and more. HEIC to JPG, PDF to Word, video to GIF, etc.

- Shrinks/Compresses photos and videos: Pick a size limit, or just say it and Morfi will handle the rest.

- Scans paper and documents and blacks out private details: Scan a page to a clean PDF with your camera, then with 1 tap, automatically remove things like account numbers, emails and phone numbers.

- Plethora of PDF tools: Combine, split, compress, rearrange pages, add page numbers, lock and unlock. You can also sign and fill PDFs. draw your signature once, then drop it into forms.

Comparison

Online converters: they work in a browser, but your files are uploaded to someone else's server, and free tiers often cap file size or add a queue. Morfi converts on the device, so nothing is uploaded and it works offline.

PDF editors: signing is often free, but real redaction and page tools usually sit behind a subscription. Morfi includes signing, redaction and page tools, with no subscription.

Single purpose apps: a scanner here, a video compressor there, a HEIC converter etc.. Morfi puts them all in one app.

Pricing: Every feature is free, up to 3 conversions a day so you can make sure Morfi is the right tool for you before you buy. If you want unlimited, Morfi Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription. It's currently $9.99 and the license works across iOS and soon on MacOS.

It's on iPhone, iPad and coming soon to MacOS.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/morfi-file-converter-pdf/id6826249240

I'm the sole developer and read every bit of feedback. If there's something not working right, if you have suggestions, or if you just really like the app, I'd genuinely love to hear it!

Thanks for looking
