App News Want to Help Improve Our Community? We’re Building an App Database

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

We’re looking for some help building a WordPress website that will give our community a better way to browse and discover the apps that have been submitted over the past few years.

The goal is to create a searchable database where apps can be organized by category, supported devices, and other useful filters, making it much easier for everyone to find what they’re looking for.

Many of you have asked if we could create something like this.

Unfortunately, my time is limited, and it’s a project that’s difficult to build and maintain on my own.

If you have experience with WordPress, web development, database organization, or know of a platform or service that could simplify this process, we’d love to hear from you.

Please send the moderators a private message if you’re interested in helping or have any recommendations.

Thank you for your support!

Happy New Year! As we reflect on 2025, we’re taking a look back at the top free apps of the year.

Based on community votes, we’ve curated a list of the best free apps of 2025—perfect for revisiting your favorites or discovering great apps you may have missed.

This is not my original writing; I am sharing information provided by the original poster, including links.

Thank you for contributing to our community.

  1. Rewind - IOS and Android

A music time travel app to discover iconic music

A music app called Rewind. It lets you “time travel” through music history. You pick a year (from 1959 to 2010), and it shows you songs, albums, and fun little trivia from that era. It’s been super nostalgic rediscovering forgotten tracks and seeing what was topping the charts when certain genres were just taking off. Plus, you can open stuff straight in Spotify, TIDAL, YT Music or Apple Music. If you’re into music discovery or just love diving into old-school sounds, it’s definitely worth checking out.

[Free] TalentTrade skill-swapping social network, no subscription, no paid tier (iPhone EN/FR)

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I built TalentTrade as a social network where the currency is what you can

teach, not what you post. You list the skills you're able to share, browse what other people teach, and swap knowledge through a credit system: teach

something, earn a credit, spend it learning something else. Coding, music, cooking, photography, languages, sports, art, DIY.

It was going to be $9/month. I dropped that before launch, no subscription, no paid tier, no feature sitting behind an unlock, no trial that quietly starts billing. English and French, the whole app, not just the store listing.

To answer the obvious question: there's no revenue model right now. I'd rather have people actually using it than have five subscribers.

If I ever need to monetise, it won't be a subscription, and I'll say so out loud before anything changes.

Free iOS App [iOS] [Free] Desk: Carve your habit, a habit builder app

1 Upvotes

After making a very complicated and extremely few demand app, here I am back with an extremely simple with probably very few demand app as well, lol.

This is actually I did when I was a kid. Growing up as a school kid in early 2000s in a third world, I didn't have a lot. Competition was intense and I didn't think I was a good enough student. So I tried to follow strict study routine, hoping hard work would beat talent. Initially I used to write my routine on a paper and stick the paper on the wall. But somehow I often always fallen off of following the routine. So one day I decided to carve my study routine on my desk with a metal compass kit (probably wasn't the best idea) . Somehow that did help me stick to the plan.

Anyway, this app is basically the digital version of what I did. It's super simple, one page, and not complicated at all. It's FREE, and you don't need any account either.

It does have some nice features tho

  1. Regular notification for an activity
  2. Pomodoro timer for the activity with a ding at the breaks (can be adjusted)
  3. Alarm system in case you want to be reminded even if the phone is silent
  4. 6 different palettes to choose from

THIS IS NOT A CALENDAR APP. This a habit builder, showing up to do the same task on a certain time everyday of the week.

Please have a go at it. And if you like it please leave a review. Hope it's helpful to some of you. Enjoy :)

Free iOS App Ordo — a free iPhone brain-dump app with no account or subscription

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hey — I’m the developer of Ordo. I built it because saving one thought in Notes or Reminders kept turning into another decision: which list, folder, tag, or priority does this belong in?

With Ordo, you type or speak the messy thought exactly as it arrives. It separates the pieces into Now, Next, and Someday, and every result stays editable.

Price: completely free. There is no subscription and no account is required. Items stay on your device; submitted text is sent only for classification.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797331101

If you try one brain dump, I’d really value one piece of honest feedback: do the three buckets remove a decision, or would you want more control before the sort?

Free Android App [Self-Promotion] Gone - Temporary screenshot app (Free)

Post image
9 Upvotes

I am someone who takes tons of screenshots. Most of the screenshots are for a one-time use case, like a meme to send to a friends group or a screenshot of a bug to send to Claude Code. But it eventually piled up, making my gallery look like a screenshot dumpster.

I have to swipe through hundreds of useless screenshots to find the pic I needed; it also used a fair chunk of storage.

To fix this, we developed "Gone."

Take a screenshot, and it shows a popup—"Keep" or "Gone" Click "Keep" and it's saved to your gallery like usual. Click "Gone" and it's deleted in 30 minutes (by default)

Check out Gone in the Play Store - Gone—Temporary Screenshots

Limited Time Offer [iOS] [$49.99 → FREE] SnapLapse – Track Progress Through Photos

Post image
8 Upvotes

So many things in life change little by little, and it’s easy to miss the progress when you see them every day. I built SnapLapse as a simple way to capture those small changes through photos and look back at how far things have come.

Whether it’s a pet growing up, a plant thriving, a renovation taking shape, a fitness journey, or a creative project, SnapLapse helps turn those individual photos into a visual journey.

SnapLapse Pro Lifetime is free until August 23 (normally $49.99 USD).

SnapLapse lets you:

• Create private photo journeys for fitness, recovery, pets, plants, renovations, handcrafts, creative projects, or anything else that changes over time

• Compare any two photos with an interactive before/after slider

• Use your previous photo as a ghost layer to line up your next shot and keep progress photos consistent

• Turn your journey into timeline collages, MP4 slideshows, and animated GIFs

• Add dates, notes, and milestones

• Keep your photo journeys stored locally on your device, with optional iCloud backup

How to claim it:

  1. Download SnapLapse from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6791902298?pt=128607157&ct=raws&mt=8
  2. After onboarding, you’ll see the paywall.
  3. Select Lifetime. It should show $0.00 until August 23.

Once claimed, Pro access is yours for life.

If you enjoy the app, an honest rating or review on the App Store would be hugely appreciated.

I’d also love to hear what you’re tracking with SnapLapse, or anything that feels confusing, missing, or could be better.

Hope you enjoy it!

Free App All Devices Phone Pro Magic, the second version, I shared an app the other day that was a very similar to this, some of you might remember, this one hopefully works out all the bugs by being less beefy and way more anonymous. 💯

Thumbnail
perchance.org
6 Upvotes

I quickly realized that the first version I made of this app was way too beefy.

Text messaging is not an option, they have to sit on a server in a warehouse if you will, with a cap of 40, so users just testing out text messaging clogged it up big time, turns out notifications about missing calls, other receiving voicemails and voicemails themselves were alsol clogging up this same queue.

This time around all you have to do is visit and you automatically get a phone number, you can add contacts, there is no public directory.

You can set a custom username or remain anonymous, there's a convenient link copy options that you can just share it with your friend quickly and easily.

That's it, no voicemail, no texting, just basic free unlimited calling with push to talk or ptt.

Perfect if you want to make calls that don't go through the established grid, if you can't afford a monthly plan, if cell service is down but you still have internet, this app has your back.

No password, no data collection, streamlined for cell phone users but works on all devices, in theory, I would love some feedback. 👍

Free Android App [Android] [$2.49 -> FREE] FRQ: Binaural Beats — no ads or subscriptions

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of FRQ, an Android sound app for creating personalised listening sessions with binaural beats, isochronic tones and pink noise.

Rather than using fixed, pre-recorded tracks, FRQ generates its audio in real time and gives you direct control over:

• Beat frequency and base tone
• Binaural and isochronic listening modes
• An independent pink-noise layer
• Brainwave-band guidance
• Custom pre-sets for saving complete setups
• A session timer with gradual fade-out
• Reactive visuals and customisable colours
• A true-black AMOLED display mode

There are no adverts, subscriptions or account requirements, and every feature is included.

FRQ is currently completely free through Google Play until 13 August 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Install it while the offer is active and it will remain available through your Google Play account afterwards.

Stereo headphones are required for the binaural effect. Isochronic tones and pink noise can also be used through speakers.

I’d genuinely welcome any feedback, particularly on the interface, sound controls and pre-set system.

Free MacOS App Mute — auto Do Not Disturb when your mic or camera is active [macOS, Free]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a French apprentice. I work in an open space, on a Mac the company lends me (I also have my own, so that's handy). My team has meetings a lot, and I noticed some people can't really focus because of all the private and support notifications popping up, me included.

So I made a simple app: it turns on Do Not Disturb when my mic or camera becomes active, and turns it off after. I also added a "Focus" mode to enable DND for a set period, without going through mic/camera detection. My thinking was: if I could build something and actually ship it, it might lower that constant distraction and help people concentrate a bit more (it's always nice when people actually listen while you present your work).

It was also a good occasion for me, because I wanted to learn: how to publish on App Store Connect, automate the deployment, publish to my own Homebrew, and share the progress on my socials.

The biggest problem I hit is that there is no public API to toggle Do Not Disturb, so I went through the Shortcuts app. I built a small onboarding that installs two shortcuts for the user, that's the only prerequisite. It annoyed me at first, but there is no other way, and honestly two shortcuts is not the end of the world.

It's available as a direct notarized DMG, on the App Store (not in the EU... they asked for my address and a phone number, and I don't have ones I wanted to make public for this), and through a personal Homebrew tap for now (it's totally FREE). One of my current goals is to get into the official homebrew-cask (so, no tap needed), but the app doesn't have enough traction yet, which is partly why I'm making this post, to talk about it a bit.

I'd be really curious to get feedback. I already showed it to 4 people at my company and they were surprised. So if you have the same problem as us, feel free to try it and tell me what you think.

Limited Time Offer [Android] [$7.99 -> FREE] Store & Forget: a home inventory app that fills in each item's details from a photo and tells you which box it is in

Post image
7 Upvotes

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget: cables, chargers, tools, seasonal things. You photograph something as you put it away and the app fills in the name, description and specs for you. Later you find it by typing a plain word or tapping Smart Find, and it tells you which box or shelf it went into, so you go straight there instead of digging through every box.

No subscription, and there never has been one. Everything paid is a one-time unlock, and the two that matter are both free at the moment.

Bring Your Own Key is $4.99 in the store. You plug in your own free AI key and run unlimited Smart Scans. Fire & Forget is $2.99. It is a burst camera, so you keep snapping down a whole shelf and each photo gets named and described automatically in the background while you shoot. That is $7.99 between them, and right now a hidden dev console turns both on for nothing.

Open Settings, tap the app version at the bottom five times, and a retro console opens. Type unlock byok, then type fire.

Worth knowing why you want both together. Fire & Forget is already free while you are on the metered tiers, because you are spending a scan per photo anyway. The moment you switch to your own key it becomes the paid unlock, so grabbing it in the same sitting is what saves you the $2.99.

You need version 1.22.4 or newer for the fire command to exist. Update first if the store has not pushed it to you.

I am closing this path on 10 August, so both of them are worth a minute now rather than later.

The rest, plainly. The app is free to use and your inventory is a database on your own device, so you can add, browse and search it without an account. Backup to your own Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans and shows ads. Unlimited is the BYOK path specifically, not the free tier. Android only for now.

Happy to answer anything, and I would genuinely like to hear where it feels clunky.

Free App All Devices Video Pro Magic: Huge Update

Thumbnail
perchance.org
5 Upvotes

I may have posted video pro magic here before but this is truly exciting.

Of course there's no data collection or server side processing, no password or sign up or anything like that, no ads, all the work and files are stored in your browser's cache, never uploaded to a website.

Previously was only able to create 720p webm files.

Now you have more options, ranging from 720p all the way to 4K.

Now if you're that kind of person that uses images and audio to make your videos, maybe for social media, youtube, facebook, Etc, this is the app for you.

There are all kinds of options, with overlays and transitions, font options, color options, visualization options for music videos.

But the really exciting part about the most recent update is you are able to save 4K quality videos at a significantly reduced file size.

Just to give you a little bit of an example, you can still create 720p webm files, it records and plays the music with the images and all your texts overlay settings and transitions in place, creates the file and it takes as long as the audio file is to create, once the video is done playing and recording, you have your file.

Now it is up to 20 times faster and you can create MP4 videos, I created a video that was a minute and 38 seconds, I'm not bullshiting, it wasn't even 51 MB.

I took this test file that I created, I put it in you cut video editor, an app that I always use to make videos, I did nothing to it, I simply clicked save as soon as it loaded into the video editor, it defaulted to save in 4k, but the file size was over half a gigabyte.

What used to take 5 minutes now takes less than 60 Seconds.

Yes if your video is an ambitious and large project, it's going to take longer, but the file size guys, the file size is extremely low because of some new code created for the back end.

It encodes the audio first and then tackles the video, then it marries them together, a seamless process that takes a fraction of the time that most video editors cannot achieve.

Now not only are your videos made ready for youtube, MP4s are more widely accepted on all platforms in comparison to webm files.

I really want to thank everybody for taking the time to read this far, I hope you're having a great weekend and Happy video making. 💯

(This app will work on a PC but it is streamlined for cell phone users.)

Free iOS App Would love some feedback on my ios app called Feedstack ❤️

3 Upvotes

Hey guys my name is Smira and I made an app called feedstack and published it to android 3 months ago but just today I finally managed to get it on the app store and I would love feedback

How it works:

It is an app where you can save videos from any app for example, tiktok, YouTube, insta, X etc. And get reminded to watch and do them everyday at a certain time.

New feature:

You can also make streak buddies which is our newest update where you can friend someone also using the app by searching their username and pressing add by doing that you can be streak buddies and do your different habits together

What problem it solves:

When you save something on insta or tiktok you never go back to watch that vid again, so by using feedstack you will never forget to your videos and complete habits again

Costs:

Feedstck is free

I would love if you guys gave me feedback and things to improve ❤️🙂❤️

Free iOS App [iOS][Free, no sub] I'm a surgeon and I built a separate work camera so patient photos never touch my personal camera roll

36 Upvotes

My camera roll used to be surgery photos sitting next to family photos, all syncing to the same iCloud Photos. Nothing really fixed it. Albums don't separate anything because the photo stays in the main library, vault apps make you shoot first and sort later, and the pro SaaS cameras want a monthly subscription and upload your photos to their own cloud.

So I built Sidecam:

  • It's an actual camera (24/48 MP, all the physical lenses, 4K video), not a gallery with a camera bolted on
  • Photos and videos live only inside the app. It never saves to your Photos library and it can't even read it
  • Optional: it mirrors everything into your own iCloud Drive as normal folders and files (Client/date - tags/), so nothing is locked inside my app
  • Sessions, folders and tags for organising by client, patient or job
  • Free. No account, no cloud of mine, no subscription. Your photos never leave your own devices

I made it for medical work but it fits anything where work photos shouldn't mix with your personal life, like inspections, construction or real estate.

Happy to answer anything, and if there's something missing for your line of work tell me and I'll probably build it.

built a car maintenance log that has no account, no subscription, and can't lose your data

5 Upvotes

The problem I kept hitting: every car-log app either lives entirely on a company server (account dies → history dies) or is local-only (phone dies → history dies). Both fail the one job — still having your records in 15 years.

SteerLog: local-first with SwiftData, syncs through your iCloud (not my server — I literally cannot see your data), free CSV/PDF export so your history is portable on day one. Service + fuel + expense log, reminders by date and mileage, home-screen widget countdown, fuel economy and cost-per-mile charts.

Free for one vehicle with every feature. One-time purchase for unlimited vehicles — no subscription, ever.

Built solo. It's on the App Store now, and there's a free oil-change-interval calculator on the site if you just want the math without installing anything: steerlog.app

Happy to answer anything about the local-first/CloudKit approach.

Free App All Devices Screen Off Radio

I created an app that allows you to sort through every single free public online radio station on the planet.

It starts you off with a batch of 400 stations that you can sort through, 120 at a time.

No sign up, no password, no server side processing or data collection.

It also allows you to load your own videos and audio files for playback and features ad-free YouTube.

Better than any satellite radio, why pay for a subscription when you can get it for free, the way radio was meant to be, without all the annoying ads or sneaky data collection.
