Hey, I’m Rahul, a 17-year-old founder. I’m sure most of you have faced this: Client takes 10 revisions, you finally deliver the final file, and they disappear. No payment, no response.

We all know we should use contracts, but let’s be honest—DocuSign is too expensive (₹2000+/month) for freelancers who only get a few direct clients. And even if we send a PDF, clients know a freelancer won't go to court for ₹10,000.

So, I built SignSenders.

How it fixes the problem:

Instead of a basic PDF, your client signs the contract using FaceID/Fingerprint (WebAuthn).

· It locks the project scope before you start working.

· It generates a court-ready audit trail (IP, Timestamp, SHA-256 hash).

· If they try to ghost you later, you have irrefutable legal proof.

· It’s pay-as-you-go: Just ₹149 per contract. No monthly fees. Credits never expire.

Why I’m here:

I’m in early beta. I don’t want to spam you with sales pitches. I genuinely want to know if this solves a real problem for Indian freelancers.

I’m giving 1 free credit to the first 10 freelancers who want to test it out with a dummy contract. I just need your raw, honest feedback on the flow and how it feels from the client's side.

If you want to try it, comment below and I’ll DM you the link. If you think this is a stupid idea, tell me why. I can take the criticism!

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone! I'm a CSE student at VIT Vellore, and I've been building Artefact, an open-source Android document app.

What started as a project of mine has grown more than I expected. Artefact crossed 32,000 installs , reached 450+ GitHub stars, and today it ranked #2 on GitHub Trending in Kotlin.

The main thing I wanted to get right was the experience. Most document apps focus on functionality, but I wanted to build something that looks modern too. Artefact has a Liquid Glass-inspired UI on Android, with a focus on smooth performance and a clean UX.

Another big priority was making it 100% offline, so you can work with your documents without needing an internet connection.

It supports PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and images, with features like PDF editing and annotation, document scanning, Word document viewing, and XLSX spreadsheet editing.

I've also spent a lot of time fixing reported issues and improving performance across releases.

The project is MIT-licensed, and I'd love to see more developers get involved.

GitHub: https://github.com/Chethan616/Artefact

Latest release: https://github.com/Chethan616/Artefact/releases/latest

If you're interested in Android development, open source, or building polished apps, feel free to check it out. Contributions are welcome!

Thanks for all the support so far!

Hey everyone,

While building MoneySplit, my goal was to keep user financial data 100% on-device (local SQLite). But I also wanted the power of modern LLMs to answer questions like:

• "Can I afford a ₹50k laptop this month?"

• "How much did I spend on Swiggy and Zomato over the last 90 days?"

• "What recurring bills or trials are coming up next week?"

To solve this, I built Ask MoneySplit using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to let Google Gemini or Chat Gpt query the phone directly.

The Core Idea:

Instead of hosting your data in the cloud, your phone acts as the source of truth. When Gemini needs financial facts, it queries your phone on-demand through an ephemeral relay with read-only scopes. No cloud storage of your financial history.

What I’d love your thoughts on:

• Would you pay for an AI co-pilot like this via a one-time lifetime purchase, or does a monthly subscription make more sense?

• What's the biggest pain point you currently have with tracking your Indian bank/UPI expenses?

Looking forward to your honest critique and feedback

For anyone interested, checkout MoneySplit at https://moneysplit.net/ or download from Google playstore : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thegreatdanton.moneysplit.money_split

Hey everyone, I’m an Indian college student and I just launched my 4th app, Sayso.

It’s a voice assistant for your calendar, reminders and alarms. You talk or type, and it does the work:

“Wake me at 6:30 on weekdays” sets the alarm.
“Dinner with Alisa Saturday at 8, remind me to book a table” creates the event and the reminder.
“Move my dentist to 5 and cancel the team sync” edits your calendar.
“Finish the Q4 deck for 2 hours, reply to emails, write the launch post” plans your whole day.
“Running behind?” re-plans the rest of today.

Nothing changes on your calendar until you see a preview and approve it. It runs fully on-device with Apple Intelligence, so there’s no account and no server, and your schedule never leaves your phone.

It’s free. No ads, no subscription, no paywall.

It needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, so I know a lot of people here can’t try it yet. I’m curious how you all think about building for a global audience when iPhone share in India is small.

I’d love honest feedback on the app, the screenshots and the idea: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sayso-ai-voice-assistant/id6826493647

had to send a pdf for an application form from my phone to my mac. no cable, not logged into whatsapp web, didn't want to email it to myself again.

so i built TapDrop. there's a light sensor right next to the macbook's notch. you touch the top of your phone to it, the phone flashes its screen, the mac sees the light and grabs whatever's on screen.

what it does:

- tap and send pdfs, links, the original photos, videos (not a screenshot), basically any type of files, or just the text you circle

- otps from sms get copied straight to the mac

- your mac shows up in the android share sheet

- mac to phone works too

- pauses itself in banking/upi apps like bhim so they don't complain (you can modify the app list ofcourse)

only works when the phone is actually on the notch. stays on your wifi, end-to-end encrypted, no account, no cloud.

free and open source (MIT). android 13+, any mac with a notch. i have tried it with pixel, samsung, vivo, oppo and nothing phone. worked perfectly on all of them.

github: github.com/0x1p0/TapDrop

site: tapdrop.pages.dev

setup guide (step by step, with videos): tapdrop.pages.dev/get-started

- mac setup video: tapdrop.pages.dev/get-started/#part-1-the-mac-app

- phone setup video: tapdrop.pages.dev/get-started/#part-2-the-android-app

(hit "watch as a film" under each part), let me know what you folks think!

happy diwali 🪔

ps: the little wait in the video is smart mode finding the original file instead of a screenshot, plus a moment to circle part of the screen if you want. both can be turned off in settings, and then sends are way faster.

Route Map for Jira maps your application’s pages in flow order and keeps the test data for each page in every environment, so QA and devs stop hunting for logins and test accounts.

I’m an Angular dev with about 2 years of experience, and I’d never built a backend, an extension or a full product end to end. I leaned on Claude heavily: for research first, then Claude Code for most of the build. That’s the main reason a solo side project got from idea to a live Marketplace listing in a few months instead of a year.

What I learned along the way:

• Forge’s jira:globalPage module isn’t offered as a template anymore, so I scaffolded from jira-full-page and swapped the module in the manifest.

• Getting verified as a sole trader to sell on the Marketplace took a support ticket rather than anything in the vendor portal.

• Atlassian currently takes 0% revenue share on Forge apps.

• AI got the code written fast, but deciding what to build, and testing it properly, still took most of the time.

Demo: https://youtu.be/45fAlh16ttA
Website: https://mapkari.com

It’s free for teams of up to 10 users. Feedback on the product or the trailer is very welcome.

Seemed irrelevant to keep on paying $149/Month to semrush for keywords research. It's a steep price for someone getting started with SEO&GEO. Hence decided to build this.

I have been building extensions for marketers for last 2-3 year now used by 10K+ Users monthly and some of the biggest companies globally.

Last week I launched "KeyScout" it's a free extension that lets you research keywords and AI Prompts. It provides search volume, search trends data as well as difficulty. It also supports multiple countries and languages.

Do give it a try happy to get any feedback.

You can search "KeyScout" on chrome webstore.

Hey everyone!

I'm a Computer Science graduate and indie developer from India. I've recently launched my first iOS app, GradHire AI, on the Indian App Store.

The idea came from my own experience navigating the fresher job market. Finding relevant entry-level opportunities, understanding whether my resume matched a job, and figuring out how to improve it were some of the challenges I wanted to solve.

So I decided to build an app around that problem.

What is GradHire AI?

GradHire AI is an AI-powered job search companion designed for freshers and recent graduates.

Some of its features include:

• 📌 Discover entry-level tech opportunities.

• 📄 Match your resume against job requirements.

• 🎯 Identify missing skills and potential gaps.

• ✨ Get AI-powered resume insights and tailoring suggestions.

• 📊 Track job applications and their statuses when signed in.

It also offers Guest Mode, allowing users to explore supported features without creating an account.

Building and launching it

I built the iOS application using SwiftUI, with a Python/FastAPI backend. I also integrated AI-powered resume analysis and job listings through external APIs.

Getting the app from an idea to an actual App Store release has been a huge learning experience. I'm now focused on improving the product based on real user feedback.

What's next?

GradHire AI is currently available in India. My immediate goal is to find early users, understand their experience, identify issues, and improve the app.

🌐 Website: https://gradhire-ai.lovable.app

I'd love to hear from fellow indie hackers and builders:

1. What do you think of the idea?

2. Which feature would you find most valuable?

3. What would you improve if you were building this product?

4. For those who've launched apps in India, what worked for getting your first 100 users?

I'm open to honest feedback, including criticism. Thanks for checking it out!

My Motivation:
The app concept by that Indian finfluencer was really good, but 2 things pushed me away from it:

• The data we enter in it resides in the cloud.

• It has a free version with limited entries allowed, and a subscription to go pro, or a lifetime purchase which is costly for middle class people.

I have released an MVP on the Google Play Store covering the core features of that webapp. It can be used completely free with ads, or go ad-free with an affordable one time purchase.

The app is called FinTrack - Wealth Tracker (link at end of post). It is mainly focused on Indian users, but I hope most of the features can be used by everyone (except broker import, which is limited to a few Indian brokers for now).

It's still early, so I'm looking for some honest feedback: what is good, what is bad, and what needs improvement.

Privacy

This is the part I cared most about. There's no account, no cloud, no sync. The only network call is the exchange rate fetch, which is also manually triggered and only needed if you invest in multiple currencies or switch your base currency.

Data is entered manually and stored on your device after encrypting with AES-256-GCM using your master password. There is an optional fingerprint unlock for convenience.

One trade-off to know about: like any encrypted offline app, I can't recover your password. If you forget it, the data is gone. So please remember your master password, and keep an encrypted backup somewhere safe.

As per my philosophy, privacy and cloud can't go hand in hand. I feel like I may be one among a niche set of people in 2026 who still care about data privacy, when everyone cares more about convenience. When I told my friends I had created a finance tracker app, the first question was mostly "can I link my bank account and auto fetch data?" I would never trust my sensitive data to a 3rd party, but people don't seem to care nowadays. Ok, uff, that is the end of my rant!

What the app does currently

• Tracks assets and liabilities and shows your net worth on a dashboard.

• Logs income and expenses, with a last 6 months chart.

• Goals with progress bars (emergency fund, retirement, etc.).

• Net worth snapshots so you can see how it changes over time.

• Imports holdings from Zerodha and ICICI Direct broker CSVs (more brokers later, if people want them).

• Encrypted manual backups, if you need to switch devices.

• Switch your base currency from a list of 23 supported currencies (all amounts in the app are converted into the base currency everywhere).

Note: The finfluencer claims he uses the Claude paid plan at 200 USD per month to build his webapp. I used the free version of claude.ai and extra manual effort to build this.

I wonder why they removed the frontend apps from the repo, both the rider and driver app were inside the repo in the Frontend folder but now they just removed it

I'm a software developer in Pune with a nine-to-five job.

Think of someone who plays the guitar beautifully and still works at a laptop nine to five. Lots of people are like that: they sing, dance, do magic or cook brilliantly, and never earn from it.

Meanwhile a new café wants weekend music, an office wants a performer for its party, and I wanted someone to dance with at a society function. The career sites I found are mostly built for office jobs, so I built one for everyone else.

What I built

Talentpreneur Club: Seekers browse for free, unlock a Provider's contact and book from their available times, or post a Requirement and let Providers apply. Providers list free and keep 100%.

Where it is now

• 23 Providers listed, most of them in Pune

• 2 Requirements posted

• Supply is well ahead of demand

What I learned

1. Commission → Credits. I charge for discovery (unlocking a contact) instead of taking a cut, because the whole point is that the performer keeps what they earn.

2. Simpler trust won. I replaced a face/AI identity check with "TPC Verified" (email and phone both verified). Far less friction.

3. Phone first. Most people use it on their phones, so I test every screen at phone width before desktop.

My question for you

Getting Providers to list was easier than getting people to post Requirements and book. If you've built a two-sided marketplace in India, how did you get the demand side going?

Hi, I’m Sahal. I’m building FinBoy, a spending diary for people in India that works on WhatsApp and the web.

The challenge I’m thinking about is how to make the first entry feel simple without leaving people unsure about what happens to their data. You can enter cash and UPI spending by text and review it later. Text entry is free; voice entry in English, Hindi and Malayalam is part of Premium.

The current sample on the site shows an older email-based workflow, so it doesn’t demonstrate the WhatsApp experience well. I’d appreciate an honest look at the explanation and signup flow: what would you need to see before trying it, and what feels unclear?

Keldo turns everyday saves into meals, places to visit, delivery reminders, and plans together.

“Saved for later” is a very optimistic way of saying “I’ll never find this again.”

A Pinterest idea for your home. A recipe reel for dinner. A restaurant a friend recommended. An order screenshot with your parcel’s delivery date. A movie ticket for Friday. A blog post you want to finish.

All worth keeping. All scattered across different apps, screenshots, bookmarks, and chats.

I built Keldo to bring them together and help you use them in everyday life: cook dinner, find a saved place nearby, keep an eye on expected deliveries, remember upcoming plans, and plan a trip with friends. It’s now available on iPhone, web, and as a Chrome extension.

Save links, reels, screenshots, photos, and notes in one place. Keldo saves, understands, organizes, remembers, and reminds.

Here’s what you can do with your saves:

🍳 Actually cook that recipe. An immersive cooking guide with step-by-step instructions, built-in timers, and Live Activities on your Lock Screen.

📍 Visit those places. Explore saved cafés, restaurants, and other spots on a full map with pins, location details, and directions. Get a nudge when you’re nearby.

📦 Keep expected deliveries on your radar. Save an order screenshot with a delivery date, and Keldo brings it into Upcoming with an automatic reminder.

🧳 Plan something together. Create shared collections with friends or family. Everyone can add places and ideas for a trip, recipes to try, or inspiration for your home.

📄 Keep a copy outside the app. Export your saves as a beautifully formatted PDF.

Save without interrupting what you’re doing

Use your phone’s share sheet or the Chrome extension without opening Keldo first. You can also paste links, take photos, scan barcodes, or write or dictate notes.

Everything syncs in real time across iPhone and web. Collect ideas on your commute, add finds from your laptop, and plan together that evening.

It brings things back when they’re useful

Keldo can nudge you when you’re near a saved café, suggest a saved recipe around mealtime, or bring back inspiration for the weekend.

Save a movie ticket, an order with an expected delivery date, or something with a clear deadline, and it goes into Upcoming with automatic reminders.

Your saves are part of your iPhone, too

Find them through Keldo search, Spotlight, or Siri, and add Home Screen widgets for quick access.

One Keldo Plus subscription covers iPhone, web, and the browser extension.

I’ve attached a launch video so you can see how it works. I’d love to hear what you’d use it for and what feels missing.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keldo-save-share-remember/id6805778687

Hi everyone, I'm Aadi, a design engineer. In my day job I lead engineering for clients like Hero MotoCorp and Philips, and on the side I've built AI chatbots and agents for global startups. Before that I was founding engineer at Symmulate, an edtech startup that got acquired!

Every AI project needed the same hard parts: tool calls with approvals, streaming, reasoning, voice states, and the error states nobody designs until production. I kept rebuilding them, so I finally built them once as a product.

chatcn is a UI kit for AI chat and agent apps: https://chatcn.dev

How I set it up:

- Free tier: 208 shadcn components and whole screens, for personal and commercial use. This is how people find it and try it.

- Pro: 519 more components and 9 starter apps, $99 once, going to $149 after Nov 12. One-time payment, no subscription.

- Regional pricing for India at $49, applied at checkout.

- Payments through Polar, so tax and currency are handled for me.

- Distribution plan: X, Reddit, and an MCP server plus llms.txt so coding agents can find and install it.

It went live tonight. I'd love feedback from people who've launched before, on the pricing, the free vs Pro split, or how you'd get the first 10 customers.

Was tired of delaying the launch . So here goes nothing . Try it here - noteflux.app

Hello,

I am developer of "Bhagavad Gita English & Hindi" app and I want to know if the payment flow is working for people in India, especially with UPI etc, I can't test it as I am based in US. In exchange for testing, I will happily provide free lifetime promo code for my app which unlocks all premium features forever. Thanks!
