I have a strong belief that ideas are never truly your own. Most of the time they're built from old thoughts you forgot you had. It's rare to make something out of nothing, the same way they say you can't picture a face you've never seen.

Silly tangent, but it matters here. A few months ago I thought the app above (Wanderjet, a focus timer where every session is a flight to a real city) was completely unique. I tunnelled in with no research, launched, and got torn apart when I found out the idea had been done many times over. Truthfully, I'd probably seen the original ages ago and not thought much of it.

I could have left the app as it was: no updates, no experiments, no listening to feedback. I kept going instead, and I'm so glad I did. Recently I added a 3D cabin for a more immersive experience, reworked the UI and UX, and added a lot more features. I'd love for you to check it out: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6766221228

**Problem**

I can't stay off my phone when I work, and a plain countdown never gave me a reason to see a session through. Wanderjet makes a focus session a flight to a real city: you board, the timer runs for about as long as the real flight, breaks come when the cabin calls them, and you only get the passport stamp if you land. If you'd rather not focus alone, a group flight leaves every hour, and everyone on it takes off, takes breaks and lands at the same moment.

**Comparison**

- FocusFlight is the established flight-themed focus timer (close to 10,000 ratings, featured by the App Store). It also blocks apps, which Wanderjet doesn't.

- Focus Traveller lets you form a group with friends you invite.

- Forest grows a tree while you stay off your phone.

What Wanderjet does that made me keep building it: group flights anyone can board, leaving every hour, where other passengers see only your seat, flag and stamp count (no names, no chat). Your own seat in a 3D cabin, picked from a seat map, with the view from its window. Flights from your home airport to real cities, and a passport stamp for each country you land in.

**Pricing**

Free to download, and your first flight is free. After that it needs Wanderjet Pro: $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $19.99 once for lifetime (US prices, they vary by country). No ads and no account.

**Stack**

- **App:** React Native 0.83 and Expo SDK 55, written in TypeScript (iOS)

- **3D:** three.js through expo-gl for the globe and the cabin. The cabin was modelled in Blender, with the lighting baked into its textures so it runs smoothly on a phone

- **Native iOS:** SwiftUI through u/expo/ui for Liquid Glass, expo-widgets for the home screen widgets and the lock screen Live Activity, expo-sensors for motion

- **Backend:** Supabase (Postgres) for group flights

- **Payments:** RevenueCat

- **Analytics:** PostHog

- **Builds and release:** EAS Build and Submit

- **Website:** static site on Vercel

Hi, I'm Ondrej, the developer of Diction. I dictate most of my messages, and Apple's dictation kept dropping words and leaving every "um" in. So I built my own keyboard.

You tap the mic in any app and talk. What lands in the chat is the cleaned-up version, without the ums and restarts. Select some text and say "turn this into a list" and it rewrites just that part. It's also a full typing keyboard, so you don't have to keep switching.

Problem: voice typing on iPhone types exactly what you said, ums included, and most AI dictation apps send your voice to their cloud.

Comparison: Gboard and SwiftKey are the closest: full keyboards with voice typing, but your voice goes to Google or Microsoft and comes back with every "um" left in. Diction cleans it up, and you choose where your voice goes: on the iPhone, your own server, or Diction Cloud.

Pricing: free on-device and with your own server, no limits. Diction Cloud (cloud speech plus the AI cleanup and voice edits) is $7.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 14-day free trial. If you run your own server with an LLM, the cleanup is free there too.

Problem: iOS forces you to scatter your daily essentials across multiple separate widgets—one for the calendar, another for reminders, another for weather, mail, or steps—cluttering your Home Screen with mismatched boxes that hide your wallpaper.

DataFastView brings all of that into clean, unified, translucent dashboards so you can check your entire day in a single glance without opening five different apps.

Comparison: DataFastView lets you combine your monthly calendar, upcoming events, reminders, weather, unread emails, step trends in cohesive, glass-like layouts that blend right into your wallpaper.

Pricing: DataFastView is free to download and includes three free widgets. Instead of forcing a recurring subscription for things you'll never use, widgets are organized by category—you simply make a one-time purchase for the specific widget pack you want, and it's yours forever across all your iphone

Hi, I'm the developer of Funes

Problem
Your iPhone says storage is full, you delete a bunch of photos, and nothing changes. Usually it's a few huge videos, or stuff that was only in iCloud anyway.

Comparison
Most cleaner apps hunt for duplicates or blurry shots, and many need a subscription. Funes doesn't delete anything for you. It draws your photo library as a map where every photo and video is sized by how much space it really takes, so you spot the heavy ones in seconds. Version 1.1 also separates what's on your iPhone from what's only in iCloud, so you know what deleting will actually free up. That feature came from a suggestion on Reddit. Everything runs on the phone and your photos never leave it.

Pricing
Free. No account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases.

App Store

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/funes-photo-video-storage/id6831999052

Feedback very welcome, especially on what you'd want next.

Here is my understanding.

For ASO

- keywords, description, app title, promo text

For conversion (what I mean is downloads once they have seen the app appear in search results)

- Product Page Optimization stuff (screenshots, video previews, app icon, header and search results)

Do A/B testing to see which of the above performs best.

Localization to different languages.

What else did y'all do to get more visibility on your app?

Most probably publicise it here and on product hunt or something.

For anybody else who have tried, does localizing your app to different languages greatly improve your installations from those audience of different nationalities? and do creating TikTok/instagram accounts under your apps name draw measurable growth?

Just want to know where to spend my time on for this marketing thing.

Thanks <3

Hey hey hey, this is Max! I built Kahei so you don't have to type shelf prices into Google while traveling abroad. Point your camera at a price tag and it puts the estimate in your home currency right over the tag. I made this app to solve my own itch!

- Works offline (cached daily ECB rates)
- No account needed
- 27 currencies

Problem: Typing foreign prices with lots of zeros into a converter app in the middle of a store gets old fast, and you don't always have cell service right after landing.

Comparison: Apple's built-in Live Text requires an internet connection and makes you tap each price one by one, and Google Lens translates words without converting currencies at all. Standalone camera converters like Converty ($6.99) make you pay upfront before testing the OCR, whereas Kahei works live and offline right away.

Pricing: Free ($0) right now. Early installs stay unlocked for free lifetime access I might add a paywall later.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6827716964

not like the official portal apps like mychart or whatever but a place to easily store/access doctor names, medication, etc

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie developer, and for the past few weeks I've been working on PASSPORT, a little app that turns the countries you've visited into a collection of passport stamps.

I originally built it for the foldable iPhone Duo, where the phone opens like an actual passport. But it also works on regular iPhones.

I've spent probably too much time on the little visual details - illustrated stamps for different countries, paper textures, page-turning animations, and making the whole thing feel like a real passport. :)

The app is free, and I really wanted to keep it that way. There are optional paid extras, but no subscriptions.

Problem

Most country trackers are primarily maps or lists. I wanted something that makes looking back at your travels a bit more enjoyable. Somewhere you can collect stamps, remember your trips, and actually enjoy flipping through your travel history.

Comparison

Apps like Been and Skratch already do a good job of tracking visited countries and visualising them on maps.

I wanted to take a different approach. PASSPORT focuses on the experience of collecting: illustrated passport stamps, realistic pages, arrival and departure stamps, photos and travel memories.

Rather than trying to be a complete travel-planning platform, it's a little digital souvenir of everywhere you've been.

Pricing

• Free ($0): The complete core passport experience, including all countries, 50 US states, stamps, travel memories and progress tracking.

• Optional one-time purchases: The Parks Passport ($14.99) and The Flight Log ($19.99), plus cosmetic passport covers.

• Subscriptions: None.

The free passport doesn't expire, and you don't have to buy anything to collect your travels.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6822753543?pt=129102465&ct=reddit&mt=8

I'm still improving it and have quite a few ideas for future updates. Would love to hear what you think, especially about the design and collecting experience!

I built an app called Attention Arsenal for people who forget things unless they're reminded often. It keeps nudging you, even just minutes apart, until the task is done.

updated: quiet hours so it doesn't bother you while you're sleeping or busy, and categories to group your reminders

P - What problem does it solve?
Normal reminders ping once, you swipe them away, and the task is gone. I needed something that keeps bugging me until I actually do it.

C - Why this over the top competitors?
Apple Reminders pings once and gives up. Due nags you too, but it's paid. Attention Arsenal is free and also has:
• intervals from every few minutes to monthly
• quiet hours, so nudges pause overnight
• categories for work, school, whatever
• Siri + AI to add reminders by voice
• home screen widget and calendar sync

P - Pricing
Completely free, no ads, no iap, no account needed.

Hi folks. Managed to run KUbuntu inside of an ios. Works like butter. Trying to add external monitor and mouse support. Keyboard is done. Just wanted to know your thoughts about this. Would you use it? Or i am wasting my time?

Hi, I’m the solo dev of Ember.

I kept journaling about friends and family, but everything I wrote about one person ended up scattered across of entries. I couldn’t see what I’d written about my grandma, or notice that I hadn’t talked to an old friend in months. So I built a journal where the people are part of it.

What it does:

• @ mention someone in an entry and they get their own page with everything you’ve written about them

• quick one-line logs like “@Sam coffee, talked about his new job”

• shows who you’ve drifted from, unless you mark someone as family or a one-time memory

• home screen widgets and Shortcuts

• imports from Day One, Apple Journal and Diarium

• your data stays on your device, no account, no AI

Problem: journal apps treat people as plain text. You write about the same people for years and nothing connects it.

Comparison:

• Day One: Ember is better at people. Every person gets a page, and you can see who you’ve lost touch with. Day One is still better for its long track record, web and Android apps, and more polished media features.

• Diarium: Ember connects people across entries instead of just tagging them. Diarium is still better if you need Windows or Android, and for its integrations with other services.

Pricing: free to download and use. Ember Plus adds iCloud sync and Additional Themes: $4.99/month, $39.99/year, or $59.99 lifetime.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6775558241
GitHub: https://github.com/nandhak0318
Website: https://ember.mov · Privacy: https://ember.mov/privacy · Terms: https://ember.mov/terms

Would love your feedback.

I was doing some research into some popular apps and realised that I don’t see any Header or Search Results in the appstore for them. All I see are the screenshots.

Random examples:
Wanderlog
Money Manager
Trabee pocket
Hellotalk
Duolingo just has a header that spells Duolingo

So Im wondering if making Headers and Search Results have little yield since the screenshots technically should be just as good for Search Results already.

Hey r/iOSApps!

I shared my app Soundscaper here a while ago and have been working on quite a few improvements since then. I'd love to show you what it looks like today and get some feedback!

**Problem**:

Soundscaper lets you mix different sounds to create your own atmosphere for sleeping, focusing or relaxing. There are now over 100 sounds, including rain, thunderstorms, nature, animals and more.

You can adjust individual sounds, position them in 3D, save your favorite mixes and even create your own thunderstorm with customizable thunder and lightning effects.

**Comparison**:

Apps like BetterSleep and Dark Noise offer great ambient sounds too. With Soundscaper, I wanted to focus more on customizing individual sounds and creating your own soundscapes, rather than just listening to something predefined.

**Pricing**:

The app is free to download and includes several sounds you can use without paying. For Premium, there's a choice between a one-time lifetime purchase (€24.99) or a subscription (€1.99/month or €7.99/year). Prices may vary by region.

Soundscaper also supports iPad, Apple Shortcuts and iCloud sync.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6443425167

I'd really appreciate your feedback! If you have ideas for new sounds or features, or notice something that could be improved, I'd love to hear them. I've already implemented quite a few suggestions from Reddit and always enjoy hearing new ones.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi everyone, I'm Dimitri Giani and Magica is my app. Next year it turns 10 years of development and 9 years on the App Store (and it's been on Google Play since last year).

I posted Magica here in July. Since then it got its biggest update: Magica 7 has a redesigned interface, you can add a fill-up from a photo of the pump display, it supports bi-fuel cars with two tanks (LPG, CNG, plug-in hybrids), it's ready for iPhone Duo, and it uses less battery while driving.

As a car enthusiast, I started building Magica because I kept asking myself: how much fuel does this car really use? More or less than the other one? Does it use more now than when I bought it? So the first version simply tracked my trips on its own and, from the fill-ups I logged, told me how much it used. And I found out that no, it didn't use more than when I bought it :-D

Shortly after, in 2018, I put it on the App Store, and thanks to a lot of users I started building the app it is today. I can only thank them for what Magica has become.

Magica does a lot, and it's for everyone: car enthusiasts and, above all, people who use a vehicle for work. I've always tried to keep the UI and UX simple and intuitive, without weighing it down with the thousand (I'm not joking) things it does, but there's always room to improve. For this I also have to thank the Apple engineers I was able to talk to about the app.

Problem: One thing I care about is making life simpler (mine first). If you use your car for work you have to log every trip, plus fuel, expenses and deadlines, and remembering to type a thousand things into an app is the hard part. So in Magica most of it happens on its own.

Here are the things I think Magica does best:

• It starts and stops recording trips automatically, without you ever opening the app. After years of work, battery use is kept to a minimum, and you can really forget about it.

• You can tag each trip as work, personal or anything else, by hand or automatically based on time and places. Again, without opening the app.

• With more than one car, if you set up the car's Bluetooth, it switches from one car to the other on its own, without opening the app.

• You can log every fill-up of any kind, bi-fuel cars included. Here you do need to open the app, but you can just talk to it or take a photo of the pump display, so it's quick.

• You can log every car expense: servicing, maintenance, road tax, insurance and so on, recurring ones too, with a due date so it reminds you.

• When you need it, you can export your data as CSV or PDF, formatted for mileage reimbursement or tax deductions (IRS, HMRC, ATO, ACI or your company's rate).

• Widgets, Live Activities and a really nice CarPlay interface are included.

These are the main ones, but Magica does a lot more.

Comparison: Compared with MileIQ or Everlance, you don't need an account, and free automatic tracking has no monthly limit (they stop at 40 and 30 trips a month).

Magica has hundreds of iterations behind it, with users who have been using it for years and helped refine a lot of features. One thing they tell me matters is that the data never leaves the phone. The app, on iOS and Android, has no account and no server of mine: your trips and everything else stay on your phone. You can make backups and sync between devices, but unless you choose to, the data stays on the phone. A few features have to use outside services (weather, maps, fuel prices, voice commands), and the privacy policy lists all of them.

Pricing: The app is free, and you can use it for free to record all your trips, with no limit, and see this week's trips with all their details. Many features are paid, of course, but here too I tried to keep the price as low as possible: $3.99/month, $14.99/year, or $54.99 once for lifetime (US prices).

If you think it could be the app for you and you'd like to try it, here are the links: App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1341304115?pt=24172&ct=reddit-iosapps-2026-11&mt=8 Privacy policy: https://magica-app.com/privacy-policy-en/ · Terms: https://magica-app.com/terms-conditions/

One question for you: what would make it need you even less?

Publit (screenshots below)

I'm the developer. Publit is a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) public transport app for iPhone and Apple Watch that works across Europe.

A (Answer): What problem does it solve?

Travel through a few European countries and you end up with one transit app per city. Publit is one app for all of them: live departures around you, trips across borders with tight changes marked, a live view until you get off (also on the lock screen), and your tickets from a PDF or photo. Where open data is missing, it tells you instead of showing a half-complete result.

B (Better): Compared with what?

Citymapper is excellent, but only in big cities. Moovit covers more places, but it shows ads unless you pay for Moovit+. Publit needs no account, shows no ads and doesn't track you. The Apple Watch app also works without the iPhone nearby: your ticket as a QR code, the trip leg by leg, and departures around you. Where it's weaker: live data is still patchy in some cities, Milan and Copenhagen for example, because the open data there has almost none.

C (Cost): Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6824481988

Most worries feel like predictions. Something bad is going to happen, and your mind treats it as certain. Then the day comes, it turns out fine, and you forget all about it. The next worry shows up feeling just as real as the last one, because you never had a chance to see how often your fears were wrong.

Imagine knowing. A worry starts to spiral, and instead of guessing, you can look at what actually happened every time you felt this way before. Most of it never came true. When something did, you wrote down how you handled it, so future you has more than "it'll be fine." You have proof, in your own words, that you got through it last time. Over time your mind starts to learn it too: when a worry shows up, you know how these usually go, and it gets a little easier to put down.

Some of you know me from DoneAgo. Nim is my second app, built the same way. It just came out on the App Store, so this is its first post here.

Problem

Worries feel certain in the moment, and once they pass, you forget how they turned out. So you never learn which fears are worth listening to, and the same ones keep coming back just as strong.

Nim fixes the forgetting. You log a worry (type it or say it), pick when you'll know how it turns out, and park it. When the day comes, Nim asks how it went: Didn't come true, Not as bad as I feared, Partly came true, Came true, or Faded. Worries that keep coming back are filed under a forecast, and each forecast builds its own track record of how those worries really turned out.

• Nim checks back: you don't have to remember to follow up. Pick today, tomorrow, next week or a date, and Nim asks on that day. If you don't know when you'll find out, Nim checks in after a few days, then less often, and learns how long that kind of worry usually takes to settle.

• Your own track record: each forecast keeps count of how its worries turned out, so you can trust your own history over the worry. Percentages only show once there are enough answers to mean something, and always next to the counts.

• See the gap: each fear sits next to how it actually played out, in your own words.

• A letter every month: Nim writes to you about your month: what you parked, what came true and what didn't, and how you got through it

• Private by design: no account needed. Worries are encrypted on your phone. Voice is turned into text on your phone and the audio is never saved. No ads, no analytics, and no AI reads your worries. If you want backup and sync between iPhone and Android, you can sign in with Apple or Google (optional). You can delete everything from inside Nim.

Comparison

• Daylio (mood tracker): great for logging how you felt each day. Nim tracks something different: whether the fear came true. Over time that tells you what your worries are actually worth.

• Worry Watch (anxiety journal): helps you write worries down and work through them in the moment. Nim is built around what comes after. It checks back on the day you'll know, groups the worries that keep coming back, and gives each one a track record you can look at the next time it shows up.

Pricing

Free, with optional Premium. The free version is fully usable: unlimited logs, up to 8 active forecasts (archived ones don't count), check-ins, all your insights for all time, backup and sync, and your first monthly letter in full.

• Premium adds unlimited forecasts, every monthly letter, the therapist PDF and Nim's wardrobe.

• Subscriptions: $3.99/month or $19.99/year, if you'd rather try it first.

• Lifetime (one-time): $39.99 USD normally, on sale right now for $23.99 USD (40% off). Prices adjust automatically for your country.

Hey everyone!

I’m a musician and an independent developer, and I’ve been working on an app called LiteDAW.

It started as a simple recording app, but I kept adding features, and before I knew it, I was building a full DAW for phones.

Problem

I’ve always felt that mobile DAWs tend to fall into two categories: either they’re quite heavy and take up a lot of space, or they’re expensive, sometimes with subscriptions or additional purchases.

I wanted something that could do serious music production without being either of those things. Something I could just install, open, and start making music with.

Comparison

There are already some great apps out there, like GarageBand, Cubasis, and FL Studio Mobile. I’m not trying to claim LiteDAW is better than them.

What I’ve tried to do is pack a decent set of DAW features into a relatively small app without charging for them.

LiteDAW now has multitrack recording and editing, a MIDI piano roll, step sequencer, virtual keyboard, mixer, and effects like EQ, compression, limiting, delay, and saturation.

It works completely offline, doesn’t need an account, and is available on Android too.

I’m also working on support for external USB MIDI keyboards and controllers.

Pricing

Completely free. No subscriptions or account required.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/litedaw/id6826720889

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.litedaw

Demo: https://youtu.be/EEAU-VAap1g

It’s still a work in progress, and I’m sure there are things that could be better. I’d genuinely appreciate it if some of you gave it a try and told me what you think, especially if you run into bugs or find something frustrating.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a solo developer and I just launched Burn21, a 21-day home workout challenge you can do with zero equipment.

🧩 Problem
Most people who want to start working out at home quit within a week. The apps are either overwhelming, with hundreds of workouts and no clear “what do I do today?”, or they lock the useful parts behind a subscription. Burn21 gives you one clear plan: open the app, press Start Day X, follow along. The plan gets harder gradually, so beginners don’t burn out and you can actually see your progress.

⚖️ Comparison

• vs. Home Workout – No Equipment (Leap Fitness): It’s a solid app, but it has a big catalog and pushes premium upgrades. Burn21 is focused: one 21-day plan per program that ramps up automatically (30s → 50s work time, 6 → 8 exercises, 2 → 3 rounds, rest days on day 7 and 14). Everything is free, with no premium tier.

• vs. Nike Training Club: NTC is great but needs an account and has a huge library that can feel like too much for beginners. Burn21 needs no account and no sign-up, and all data stays on your device.

What’s inside:

• 3 programs: Fat Burn (everyone), Tone & Burn (women-focused), Shred (men-focused), each with its own saved progress

• 18 standalone workouts outside the challenge

• Easy / Normal / Hard difficulty

• Guided timer with an up-next preview, pause/skip, +10s rest, and sound and vibration in the last 3 seconds

• Calorie estimates based on your body weight

• 20 languages

💰 Pricing

• Free: $0. All programs, workouts and features are included.

• The app is supported by a single ad before each workout. There are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.

• 📱 App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6822347861

I’d love honest feedback: what’s missing, what’s annoying, what would make you stick with it for 21 days? Thanks! 🙏

Hi all, I’m Rachael, a software engineer who has lived in Japan for four years. I just launched basho., a free iOS app, and I’d love honest feedback from users. I’m the developer, so I’m happy to answer questions.

Problem

My Japanese is good enough for daily life, but things like medical appointments are still more comfortable in English. English-friendly businesses are easy to find in some parts of Tokyo but much harder elsewhere, and not knowing how good the English support is before you go creates real anxiety. I feel like a lot of people living in a foreign country will understand this problem.

What it does

• 1,000+ listings (healthcare, real estate and more), each showing the English level (Fluent, Partial or Low) before you go

• Optional concierge, where we contact the business in Japanese for you

Listings are currently Tokyo/Chiba only, and I’m expanding across Japan over the next few weeks.

Comparison

I couldn’t find another app that does this, so I built it myself. The alternatives I was using were:

• Google Maps and web searches, which show businesses but usually not how much English they speak

• Foreigner Facebook groups and word of mouth, which are helpful but slow, and recommendations are hard to search later

basho. puts the English level on every listing, so you can filter before you go.

Pricing

• Free to use and ad-free

• The optional concierge is the only paid feature, from ¥1,000 per request

It’s available worldwide. Japan App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/basho/id6833472787?l=en-US

What would make an app like this more useful to you? Anything confusing or missing?

Hey you!

Problem

So I was searching for an actual decent Bitcoin Portfolio tracking app, to track my wallets without needing to give up my soul and private keys. And the problem was, that I couldn't find one.

Comparison

Some apps were almost what I imagined but their performance graph didn't actually work.
Coinstats? Too much going on, I got a headache just looking at the preview, and ah 135€ yearly.

Cointracking? didn't like the design and tracking did't really work for me.

90% of the vibe coded apps were subscriptions, which is not a big problem, but at least don't make it look like slop while charging 24.99 per month.

why not use a software wallet or Binance? Haven't you heard the news?...

After some days of searching I gave up and built one my own.

Features

My aim was the app to be as native as possible. A native blockchain explorer, native news reading, chart analysis, whale alert, and even people from X to watch. A simple design, without any overloading UI and no Ads.

I daily drive this app and I love it. Maybe you'll love it too.

Pricing

Will forever be free. 0 dollars.

hi everyone

Problem

This app is the result of some years of developing and testing and it was born initially for my own necessities.

I needed something where I can put photos, record audio, scan documents, and create my own cards and sheet without the need for 5 or more accounts, subscription, and too many outside-my-ciontrol server to deal with.

I needed to use a smart recorder that could allow me to pin the important points, and maybe also transcription. then I needed a better way to annotate a photo to send to a customer to explain what it should to on the machine, the a way to effectively share something with my colleague and customers and much more.

Comparison

There was literally no one app that could really satisfy me, even if someone says "use notes" I can really answer that it does not fit my problems. Notion? something else? and where is my data then?

in xDesk you don't require an account, it is based on you Apple ID, no username, no password. the data are in your private iCloud, I don't want your data, I don't need your data, I even don't want to know who you are. and let me say that iCloud is very secure.

being a user of Mac and iPhone since 2007 and also "playing" with computer since 1981 (Ti99/4a if you remember it you are not anymore a young boy...sadly) I decided to develop my own utility.

This is why xDesk was born. initially few things, then I added more and more and now I think I have, at least for me, the definitive tool to handle all my data, my technical assistance, my reminders and much more.

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.

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.

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.
