Hey everyone! I’ve been working on an iOS side project called Live Shortcut.

It started because I wanted certain information to stay visible on my Lock Screen and Dynamic Island instead of getting buried in notifications.

One example I’ve been experimenting with is checking whether I left my garage door open after leaving the house. I can use an automation in Apple Shortcuts to run when I leave home, check the garage door’s status, and show a warning in my Dynamic Island if it’s still open.

The app is free to download, and you can create your first Live Activity without paying.

I recently updated the app with a few premium features ($0.99/year or $6.99 one-time):
• Custom icons and color themes
• The ability to launch another Shortcut from a Live Activity
• Support for multiple Live Activities

I’d love to hear what other automations people would use this for!

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/live-shortcut/id6476543630

Man I really wish there’s something that can help me track my subscriptions (other than google sheets). Something that can give me notifications, y’know? I’d very much appreciate if anyone could share anything they use.

Hey everyone!

We’ve been working on an app for a while and it’s finally live on the App Store! We’d appreciate it if you’d check it out and share with your friends! Also, drop your projects! I’d love to see what others are working on.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on an app called Energeia for a while now, and I wanted to share it here to get some feedback.

Currently its an app where you can scan an energy drink's barcode its logs all the information. All the energy drinks are saved on my database, so it's a growing dataset.

Still working on making improvements to design and features, but would love any feedback and happy to do the same for anyone!

Only available on iOS: Energeia App

Submitted to the App store over a week ago. Got an almost instant request for more information (answer more questions, provide a video of the app in use). It's been 7 days since that additional info. was sent and the website still says "Waiting for review."

Anyone have recent first-time app store submission experience? Is there any way to get updates?

I am a software developer. I built a cute app, a shared camera roll for your event. Basically, you create an event and all your guests can join the event using a code and click cute pictures. These are not the perfect frame pictures. These are candids, fun and often slightly scandalous. The fun thing about this is also that you get to give some fun tasks to your guests. For example, imagine having a task "awkward picture with the couple", you are bound to get some super fun pictures clicked. Or another task "someone crying happy tears", your loved ones capturing truly memorable moments - the way they see it.

I would love for people to try this app. It's called "Kept". Available on both IOS and Android. Would love for you to DM and try it out!

I would love creating those memories for you!

I have been using this app for a few weeks now.

My son just got his permit, and he's been looking for a way to make logging his drives easier. I was talking to some fellow parents in the same boat as me, and one of them directed me to this app.

It's a fairly new app, and it works surprisingly well for something that just got released. It's free to use for now (hopefully it stays that way) and it has been an excellent way for my son to track his driving to make sure he's getting in all his required hours. It takes into account nighttime drives and bad weather drives, both of which part of the DMV license requirements. It's little achievements based on different drives my son does are keeping him motivated to get his permit.

Some other features which we have benefited from which are on the app listing are:

• Route replay maps - see the exact path driven at 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x speed
• Supervisor approval - parents and guardians review and approve each drive
• Day/night auto-detection based on sunrise and sunset at your location
• Progress dashboard showing hours completed vs. required
• PDF export ready for DMV submission with your state's official form name
• Manual entry for drives you forgot to log
• Multi-supervisor support — connect parents, grandparents, and instructors
• Driver's ed mode — automatically adjusts hour requirements for states that offer reductions
• Completely free - no ads, no in-app purchases, no premium tier

Just released my app a few days ago, havnt really done any marketing yet. How would yall say im doing so far??

Ever been in a situation where you wanted to open a link on a different device, but there was no convenient way to do it?
Say you're at a library and you want to read an article on the computer there. You don't want to log in to your personal accounts on a shared machine, and typing a long URL by hand is miserable. Same story with a hotel TV, a friend's computer, or a smart TV that only has a clunky browser.

That's why I built BeamTo. It's simple:
1. On the other device, open beamto.xyz in any browser. It shows a QR code.
2. On your iPhone, share any link to BeamTo.
3. Scan the QR code. The link opens right there.

Nothing to install on the other device, no account, no pairing.

It's a one-time $2.99 purchase, with no subscription and no in-app purchases. I'm the solo developer, so I'd really like honest feedback, especially from anyone who tries it on a TV or a kiosk browser. Android is in the works.

I’ve been a craps fan for years, and I recently finished an Android project I’ve been working on called Dealerless Craps: Roll Quest.

I wanted it to feel more like playing on an electronic/dealerless craps table than a typical mobile casino game. It’s strictly play-money — there are no deposits, withdrawals, cash prizes, or real-money gambling.

The game includes PLACE and BUY bets, Pass Line, Come, Horn and proposition bets, animated dice, table sounds, a locally saved virtual bankroll, and a side challenge I call Roll Quest where you work toward Low Run, High Run, or Full Quest combinations.

I designed it for both Android phones and tablets, there’s no account or sign-in required, and the only ads are optional rewarded ads for additional virtual credits.

I just released it publicly on Google Play after closed testing, and I’d really appreciate feedback from people who actually know craps.

I’m especially interested in whether the table feels intuitive on a phone, whether any important bets or features are missing, anything that’s hard to read or confusing, and of course any bugs you find.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyairs.dealerlesscraps&pcampaignid=web_share

I’m still actively improving it, so constructive criticism is genuinely useful. I’d much rather hear what needs work than just be told it looks good. 🙂

It started life as a browser game and eventually became an Android app using Capacitor, so I’m also happy to talk about how it was built if anyone is interested.

I’ve always been interested in philosophy, but I kept running into the same problem: I could read about an idea or watch someone explain it and feel like I understood it, then realize later that I couldn’t actually explain it myself.

That’s why I built The Agora: Learn Philosophy.

The idea is to make philosophy something you actively participate in instead of just consume. You can learn the foundations, explore different philosophers and their ideas, reflect on questions, and then actually test your understanding through interactive discussions and debates.

I don’t want it to replace books or original texts. My goal is to bridge that gap between “I read this” and “I actually understand this well enough to think with it.”

If you’ve ever wanted to get into philosophy but didn’t know where to start, or found that reading alone wasn’t enough for you, I’d love for you to try it.

Hi Reddit,

I'd like to share a game that I've been working on - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binbear.gummylab - and I know that this game has been done a million times before, the classic blocks stacking game where rows and columns clear as you complete them.. I always loved puzzle games and I could play them for hours and I've started learning mobile development as a fresh cs graduate, so I thought why not make my own, in my own style, removing everything I found annoying in other games (ads, no offline play), and adding anything I saw fit.

The only thing that perhaps differentiates this game from all others, apart from the endless mode, is that I've crafted 50 custom levels so far with multiple different objectives and some that I haven't seen done in other games. I enjoyed creating every level trying to invent more level types, more different objectives, just to make the game play Fun and engaging.

As you know in order for an app to get approved for Google Play store it needs to go through two week period of testing. So I've shared this game with my friends and they all loved it lol but also hated me for making the levels so hard to beat xD

As the market is oversaturated with games I just thought to drop this here, so even if one person sees this and decides to download it to try it out I see that as a win.

Of course if anyone has any suggestions and ideas of improvement or things that I should add please let me know, I want to be making apps that people are actually going to use and like.

If you came this far, thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!

I’m thinking of building this app for people making startups or side hustles. They type their business idea into an ai prompt and it makes a physical plan they have to follow through to get their side hustle/business started. They have to make social media pages, reminders to post on them, reaching out to people, help keep track of sales, giving u new ideas to your business as well as ideas to promote. It would be like duolingo to where you have a path to follow and complete as well as a streak for each day. Would yall use this or pay for this?

So I recently started making a Mac specific audio control menu since I am not a huge fan of the default one. This one can individually control sound across sources, boost volume, search songs through your preferred streaming without having to open the app (right now only Spotify and Apple Music), and comes with a customizable companion that sits on your screen, either for basic controls, or just to have a little avatar vibe to the BPM of the current song, match the album color, play with his DJ deck, etc. Any feedback on how I can improve this? It's not public at all yet, just something I've been messing around with

What app or website do you use despite being frustrated by it?

What feature is missing, what is unnecessarily complicated, or what task should be much easier?

Please share the app's purpose, the problem you face, and what you wish it did better.

Hi all, I'm a solo dev and just shipped v1.1 of Parking Floor Tracker iOS App.
Instead of guessing, it reads your iPhone's barometer to work out your parking level, saves it with your GPS spot, and guides you back: which level, which direction, how far, with Apple Maps walking directions. You can also add a note like "Section C, pillar 14."
No account needed, and your saved spots stay on your device.
If you park in malls, airports, hospitals, or venues with multi-level garages,
I'd really appreciate you trying it and telling me what works and what doesn't.

I used to go back to the same bars and cafés, recognize the people working there, and still have no idea what their names were.

So I started keeping little notes on my phone: their name, where we met, something we'd talked about. Before going back, I'd take a quick look. Then I could walk in, say their name, and pick up the conversation.

The reaction surprised me. That "wait, you remembered my name?" moment changes the whole interaction. You're suddenly having a conversation with someone you know. I've even been offered free stuff along the way, which was a nice surprise. Mostly, going back to those places just started feeling warmer and more familiar.

That's why I built Who's Here: Remember People. It's a little app for saving a name, a place, and the details you want to remember, without digging through a pile of Notes.

If there's a bar, café, gym, or shop you go to all the time and you're still calling everyone "hey," try saving just one person's name. Check it before your next visit and see how that hello feels.

I'm opening up the iPhone beta and would love a few people to try it in their everyday life. Even one visit would help. Tell me what felt useful, what was confusing, or what broke. You can leave feedback here or through TestFlight.

Thanks for giving it a try.

Konnichiwa everyone!
We are a small team from Tokyo, Japan and have been building Okanize for half a year and are happy to launch it for everyone to use.

https://www.okanize.com/
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762205109

TLDR:

- Whats new?
It brings slack style UI + less effort budget addition. Its built around spaces: one for your own money, and shared ones for the people you split costs with. We built it because no app did both well.

- Vibe coded ?
No , I learned swift UI from Paul Hudson courses, loved it and this is my first work.

- Data security and shared with AI?
No, we do have receipt scanning OCR but thats Apple's inbuilt model + our own parser.

- Ads?
No, never. We hate them haha

Any feedback is welcome, we also have a small feedback feature in the app itself, so your concerns are directly delivered to us and we will message you once its addressed.

The Okanize website was slightly vibe coded but it was mainly by using my own designs and code from my other websites to match the UI correctly. (Idk why I dont trust vibe coding anyways)

Love from Japan ❤️

After a long time building, the version that worked was the simplest one: a single chat that knows your pet.

Ask about food, symptoms, vaccines or training, and Luccy answers using your pet's breed, age and the records you've added. Vet documents get read and turned into reminders. Once a month, a licensed vet reviews a health summary for your pet.

It won't diagnose anything, and it'll tell you when it's time to see a vet.

Good or bad, I'd love to hear what you think: App Link

I kept forgetting to cancel free trials and getting hit with annual charges I didn't want. So I built a small iPhone app to fix that for myself.

What it does:

• Add a trial in a few seconds: name, price, end date
• Get a reminder before it bills, so you have time to cancel
• One tap to open Apple's Subscriptions page to cancel

Privacy first: No sign-up, no login, no bank connection. Everything, including app icons, is processed locally on your iPhone. Nothing gets uploaded.

Price: $4.99

It's my first release of this one, so I'd really love feedback: what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually use it?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6820833805

Thanks for taking a look!

You finish eating, open your calorie tracker, and suddenly you're spending more time searching for foods than actually logging your meal.

That's exactly what I wanted to change.

I'm the solo developer behind CalorieTalk, an iPhone app that lets you describe what you ate in normal language instead of searching for each food individually.

For example, you can say or type "a chicken wrap, some fries, and an iced coffee" and the app breaks it down into individual foods with estimated calories, protein, carbs, and fats.

You can review and adjust the results before saving, so you're not blindly trusting the estimates.

It supports voice and text input in English and Arabic.

I'm still improving the experience, but the goal is simple: make calorie tracking easier to stick with.

Would love to hear what you think!

As a Yi Wood day master girl, I used to go through a phase of blindly following the crowd and grinding myself to exhaustion with very little to show for it. After taking the time to reflect, I realized I was simply on the wrong track.

From the perspective of Five Elements imagery, Yi Wood is like vines and wildflowers—it is not about sheer brute force. If we try to go head-to-head and grind it out like more rigid traits, we are naturally going to feel constantly frustrated. Yi Wood's true nature actually lies in "growing by leveraging external forces."

Think about it, Yi Wood is exceptionally good at going with the flow:

• Making the most of platforms and environments: Instead of forcing ourselves in areas we aren't suited for, Yi Wood girls tend to have strong adaptability and a keen sense for their environment. Picking the right track and platform can make things twice as easy with half the effort.
• Knowing how to "leverage power": Whether it is resources from elders, team support, or mentors who can lift you up, Yi Wood finds it easier to catch and build upon these external forces rather than struggling alone.

Instead of wasting your core energy on endless internal friction and hustle culture, it is much better to channel that focus into expanding your network, discerning environments, and sharpening your judgment. Leaning into your flexible and resilient strengths by taking the "leveraging" route makes the journey much smoother and steadier.

What do you think? Are there any fellow Yi Wood sisters who relate? Let us chat about how you lean into your traits in everyday life!

作为一个乙木日主的女生，之前也经历过盲目跟风、和别人死磕内卷的阶段，结果往往把自己累得够呛，收效却很微弱。后来慢慢复盘才发现，原来是自己用错了赛道。

从五行意象来看，乙木好比是藤蔓与花草，本身就不以纯粹的蛮力见长。如果我们非要像某些刚硬的特质一样去正面硬刚、死磕到底，自然会觉得处处受挫。乙木真正的天性，其实在于“借势而生”。

仔细想想，乙木其实非常擅长顺势而为：

• 善用平台与环境：比起在不擅长的领域硬拼，乙木女生往往对环境有着极强的适应力和敏锐度，选择一个好赛道、好平台，往往能事半功倍。
• 懂得“借力”：无论是长辈的资源、团队的助力，还是能够托举自己的贵人，乙木往往更容易承接住这些外部力量，而不是靠自己单打独斗。

与其把核心精力浪费在无休止的内卷内耗上，不如把心思放在拓展人脉、甄别环境和提升眼光上。发挥自己柔韧、灵活的优势，走“借力”路线，反而能走得更轻松、更稳。

大家觉得呢？有没有同感的乙木姐妹来聊聊，平时你们是怎么发挥自己特质的？

If you’re unsure what your Day Master is, there’s a new app I built that can help figure it out. It generates an in-depth 10,000-word BaZi report for your reference.

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Unclutr Photos, an app that groups similar photos so you can compare them, decide what to keep, and clear out the extras. Photo comparison happens on your device, and you confirm deletions yourself.

The main addition in version 2.9 is Keep one: pick your preferred photo in a group, and the app selects the others for deletion while protecting favourites and Safe Photos. You can undo that selection if you change your mind.

You can also calibrate grouping by answering whether you’d group example photos together.

Unclutr Photos on the App Store

I’d love feedback on the review flow. When sorting similar shots, do you prefer choosing the one to keep or individually selecting the ones to delete?
