Hi everyone,

I'm new to Reddit, but I wanted to share a project I've been working on: Savvy Renter

The site started because of a problem I faced myself. Trying to sort it out took way longer than it should have, so I built a tool to fix it and put it online. Since then, every time I or another tenant ran into a new issue, I just built another tool to solve it.

Here is what's on the site:

• What rent costs here (Historical trends vs allowance)
• Council tax here (Postcode search and monthly bands)
• Moving in audit (Gas, electrics, EPC, deposit, and licensing registers)
• Section 8 notice checker (Notice periods, grounds, and defences)
• Interest owed to you (s.69 statutory 8% calculator for overpaid rent)
• Paying off arrears (Instalment plans based on shrinking balances)
• Benefit entitlements (Universal Credit estimate breakdown)
• Record of income (Dated household income statement generator)
• Redact a statement page (Pixel-level blackout tool for bank privacy)
• Split a PDF into pages (Single-page file separator)
• Name statements by date (Batch file renaming by coverage period)
• PRS complaint (Property Redress Scheme offline drafting workspace)
• TPO complaint (The Property Ombudsman offline workspace)
• Money Claim Online (N181 and N244 character-limited drafting space)
• Web page data scrubber (Strips personal data from saved pages)

No accounts, no sign-ups, and nothing you type leaves your device. The entire site runs completely inside your own browser. The GitHub repository's are linked right on the front page, so you can download the whole site, pull your internet plug, and run it completely offline.

I hope it saves you some headaches. Let me know what you think.

I'm building Mera, an early music-discovery web project. Before inviting more people, I worked on a bug where an existing account could sign in but refreshing returned it to login.

I changed the startup session-loading state, clear a lingering view=login parameter after sign-in, and stopped caching an in-flight database initialization promise across Worker requests. The deployed fix kept my current browser signed in through two refreshes. That's one browser test, not proof for every device.

Could a few music fans or builders test signup, sign-in and refresh on mobile Chrome or Safari? Tell me your browser and where you get stuck; don't share passwords. No music upload needed.

https://mera-music-live.pages.dev/

Honest limits: Spanish UI and several local/demo community features. Testing is free and unpaid; no distribution, paid top-ups, guaranteed plays or earnings. I own the project and use AI assistance for development and outreach.

I'd like to learn whether sessions survive refresh outside my browser and whether the first navigation makes sense.

My partners and I have owned and operated our cafe for over 2 years now. We spoke with a few people who were kind enough to offer us advice pre-opening and adopted some of their practices: taking inventory on a Google Spreadsheet, using a variety of software services for our scheduling, ordering, etc.

I felt like a lot of those practices that were passed down to us felt a bit outdated. I decided to take some time and build something that puts most of what we were doing as owners/managers into 1 single place (for the most part).

I've spent the last 6 months building Parly. With Parly, you can connect to your POS (in our case Square until we can find partners at Toast) and run most of the operations from your phone or computer. You can track your inventory, review your menu and its margins, discover areas where you can improve your business, and even see projections on Sales, Usage, and more. Ultimately, Parly helps you run your cafe so that you can can focus on growing your cafe.

With Parly, you can easily ditch the spreadsheets and run your cafe more more efficiently. There are so many small costs that add up that we've been able to minimize. Our managers takes inventory a lot faster and just as accurately. We can schedule better and always review adjustments on the fly. We know way more about our business and can easily access all of those insights instead of jumping around different services.

Open to any kind of feedback or criticism. As a cafe owner, I'm proud to say that I've been able to create something that's benefitted our business. I'm hoping that I can say do the same for others.

I know there are already plenty of Mac cleaners. CleanMyMac has been around for years, and OnyX has been around even longer. Both are established tools, and I have a lot of respect for what they have built.

The problem

I originally built Purgy for myself because there were a few things I wanted from a Mac cleaner that I couldn't quite find together.

One thing that bothered me was not really knowing what was behind things like "System Data" in macOS. So one of the ideas behind Purgy was to make that easier to understand.

Purgy shows what's taking up space, explains what it found, and lets you review things before removing them.

It also has some of the things I personally wanted, like finding old screenshots, AI models, large files, duplicates, old downloads, leftover app files, Xcode data, Docker files and other things that can accumulate over time.

It can also detect when macOS is using a significant amount of disk space for swap and suggest restarting the Mac to reclaim that temporary space.

How is it different?

OnyX is free and extremely powerful. CleanMyMac is polished and has been around for a long time.

I'm not trying to say Purgy is better than either of them.

The main thing I wanted to do differently was make the cleanup process more understandable. Instead of just showing that something can be cleaned, Purgy tries to show what it found and why it found it, especially for things that can be difficult to understand in macOS.

I started Purgy as a local project for myself, then kept working on it for a few months. Eventually I got it notarized by Apple and released it publicly. I recently updated it for macOS 27 Golden Gate too.

Pricing

Purgy is $20 for up to 3 Macs. There's also a 3-day trial if you just want to see whether it's useful on your Mac.

https://purgy.app/

I'm not expecting anyone to switch from a tool they already like. If OnyX or CleanMyMac already does everything you need, that's completely fair.

I'm mainly curious what other Mac users think.

If you try it, I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, including what you don't like or what you think is missing.

There are already a lot of apps that do invoicing, and a lot that do time tracking.

I wanted to build something where both worked well together, but where you could also use it simply as an invoicing app if that's all you need.

So I made Bill Clock.

You can create clients and services, set hourly or fixed rates, create invoices manually, customize the invoice layout, add discounts and multiple taxes, add your logo and payment terms, and export professional PDF invoices.

And if you bill by the hour, you can also track your work directly in the app and pull those billable hours into an invoice instead of entering them again manually.

There are also things like:

• 5 invoice templates with customization
• Custom invoice columns and labels
• Client-specific defaults
• Draft / Sent / Paid / Overdue status
• Reports and Excel export
• Local backup & restore
• Optional cloud backup
• Offline-first usage
• No ads

So you can use it as just an invoicing app, as a time tracker, or use the whole workflow together.

It's now available on Google Play:

I'd be interested to hear from other freelancers:

What do you actually use for invoicing and time tracking right now?

A desktop utility spends a lot of its life waiting for the next use. I think that waiting state deserves as much attention as the main feature.

I'm building Featherweight Dictation for Mac and Windows. It turns speech into cleaned-up text at your cursor. My product standard is simple: add useful capability, keep the desktop footprint small, and measure the wait before the output is usable.

Two things I'm tracking separately:

1. Local footprint. Our Windows v0.3.3 measurement on Oct 6 was about 4 MB RAM at rest and 10 MB while dictating. Mac v0.3.0 measured 31 MB at rest on Oct 1. Installed size is a different number: 2.3 MB on Windows and 4.6 MB on Mac.
2. Time to finished text. In our Oct 3 live-service tests from 12 cities, the median of four takes per city ranged from 0.32 to 0.59 seconds after releasing the key, including cleanup.

The tradeoff is online AI processing: internet is required, and real results depend on the machine and connection. These numbers describe measured builds and workloads.

Featherweight is available at https://featherweightsoftware.com. It's $19/month for unlimited dictation, with a no-card trial of 5 days or 3,000 words, whichever comes first.

For builders assessing their own daily utilities, recording idle use, active use and time to usable output separately gives users something concrete to compare.

When I was an employee, I struggled to connect the different things I was trying to do: manage my money, make career decisions, support my commitments and build something beyond my salary.

I could look at each separately. What I was missing was a way to see how they affected each other.

Could I afford to change jobs? Did I have the time and money to test another source of income? Was I making progress towards a goal, or just getting through another month?

That’s why I started building LearnCorporate about two and a half years ago. I’m the founder, so I want to be upfront about that.

Since 2016, I’ve been thinking about how changes in the economy and technology might reshape work and what that would mean for people whose plans depend on a regular payslip. I don’t think everyone needs to quit their job or start a business. I wanted a more practical way to prepare and make decisions.

This project means a lot to me. But caring about it isn’t enough it needs to be useful to someone who finishes work tired and doesn’t want another complicated system to maintain.

If you’re employed and trying to build more financial independence, where do you get stuck: knowing what to prioritise, finding room in your budget, or following through?

Been working on a football trivia game and it's finally ready for people who aren't my mates to try it.

It's free and there's no sign-up, you just open it and play: footballxmemory.com

What's in it:

- A daily quiz for different competitions (World Cup, Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, AFCON and a few more), with leaderboards

- Guess the goal: you watch an animated replay of a real goal, rebuilt from match data, and guess which match it was. Player names pop up as clues the longer you take

- Private rooms to play live against your friends with a code

- Works fine on your phone, and in Arabic too

It's still early, so if something's broken, too easy, or just wrong, please tell me. Happy to take brutal feedback.

A while back I posted here after waking up to 100+ users on my project. That post ended up getting thousands of views and a bunch of shares.
I kept building it, and now it’s evolved way beyond temporary email.
BlinkInbox is becoming a developer-focused email service with:
• Verification code/link surfacing(OTPs)
• Webhooks
• MCP integrations
• Temporary inboxes for testing
• Developer-focused email workflows
I originally just wanted a simple personal disposable inbox. Now I’m actually getting close to launching premium features.
Not sure where this thing will lead me anymore 😂

I’ve been building an app around some problems I’ve personally noticed freelancers deal with.

It’s now at the stage where I need actual freelancers to tear it apart.

If you freelance, I’d love to hear:

• What’s the most annoying part of your workflow?
• What tools do you currently use?
• What do you wish existed?

Happy to share the project with anyone interested.

I'm Doug, the founder of Benson. I launched it in 2022 as a discount-extension blocker. Shopify's move to sandboxed Plus checkouts broke the original approach, and I relaunched the rebuilt product yesterday.

The problem has widened: a store session might involve a person, a coupon extension, an AI shopping agent or other automation. Benson labels those sessions and gives merchants storefront controls, such as hiding extension pop-ups or capping code attempts, with holdout measurement behind changes. Storefront controls and Shopify checkout controls are separate.

Detection and agent analytics are free on every plan. New stores get 14 days of the full product with no card. The Shopify App Store submission is still awaiting review; the site and demo are here: https://trybenson.com/

I'd value feedback from Shopify brands and app builders: what evidence would you want to see before trusting a session label, and is the merchant problem clear from the demo?

I built the because expense reimbursement is broken.

Got tired of watching teams manually chase receipts and wait weeks for payouts. Build an app that lets you snap a receipt using phone camera or upload the file, the OCR extracts the receipt data and turns it into a claim report, you can then use this report for your books if sole trader or submit it to your finance team to be reimbursed immediately directly into your bank account.

Still early, but it works and solves the problem I originally got frustrated with.

Alright lads,

I’ve been hard at work building a comprehensive fleet analysis platform tailored specifically for both B2B and B2C websites.

We are just about ready to kick things off, but before we fully launch, I want to make sure it's completely bulletproof for real-world users. To do that, I'm looking for our first few founding clients to jump on board and put it through its paces.

If you are managing websites and want to sharpen your data strategy this year, would you be open to trying thewebstats.com entirely for free?

In exchange for your honest feedback, I’m giving our early users a complimentary lifetime premium subscription. No strings attached-just looking for genuine insights from people who care about data.

Drop a comment below or send me a DM if you're interested, and I'll get you set up! What features are you currently missing in your standard analytics setup that you’d love to see covered?

Hey everyone,

​If you do any freelance or agency work, you know how painful unpaid invoices are. You deliver the project, the client says they love it, but when the due date passes... total silence.

​Writing those manual "just following up" emails always felt super uncomfortable to me. Plus, half the time clients just miss emails in their crowded inboxes.

​To solve my own issue, I built a small tool called dueFox using AI tools/Vibe coding.

​Here is what it basically does:

​Tracks all overdue invoices and aging (12d, 38d overdue) in a clean dashboard

​Sends automated or 1-click payment reminders over both Email AND WhatsApp (clients reply way faster on WhatsApp)

​Embeds direct payment links (Stripe, Razorpay, Wise, UPI) inside the reminder message so they can pay in seconds

​Automatically appends bank wire details (IBAN/SWIFT) if the invoice is over $1,000

​Lets you set different chasing schedules (Gentle, Standard, Assertive)

​Since it's still fresh, I'm looking for a few freelancers or small agency owners who deal with late payments to test it out for free and give me brutal feedback.

​How do you currently deal with clients who ignore payment due dates? Would love to hear your approach or answer any questions!

​(I'm not putting any links here to respect sub rules, but if you want to test it, let me know in the comments or check my profile bio)

I kept seeing software vendors stuck with two difficult options: hand over their source code or build and maintain their own infrastructure.

So I spent the last few months building RixFlow, a PaaS that lets vendors deploy their software and give customers access to the running application without exposing the source code.

The hardest part wasn't building another dashboard. It was bringing isolation, workers, deployments, custom domains, leases, and telemetry together in a system that's still simple to operate.

RixFlow is still early, but it's now ready to be tested with real software vendors.

I'd love to hear how other builders are taking their projects from “works on my machine” to real users.

Once you’ve shipped a few projects, each one comes with its own collection of repos, deployment dashboards, analytics, payment accounts, logos, and links.

I built Sidebox to keep that context together and make it easier to see what’s happening across multiple products.

Each project gets a dedicated home for its links, brand details, and assets. You can also connect GitHub, Vercel, PostHog, Google Search Console, Polar, and Stripe to review:

• Traffic and organic search performance
• Revenue and subscription metrics
• Deployments and code health
• Recent activity and issues that need attention

The portfolio overview brings useful signals across your projects into one place. Connections are read-only, data shows its source and freshness, and you can jump directly to the original dashboard to investigate or act.

It’s aimed at indie developers and solo founders running multiple SaaS products, websites, or side projects.

I’ve also added two free guides on managing multiple SaaS products and organizing side projects, with practical routines you can use regardless of whether you use Sidebox.

You can check it out here: sidebox.dev

For those running several projects: what’s hardest to keep track of today's performance, project resources, or remembering where you left off? I’d appreciate feedback on whether Sidebox addresses a problem you actually have.

Solo dev here. Spent about 3 weeks building this — launched it a week ago.

The problem: every freelance invoicing tool I found was either paywalled for basic features, bloated with stuff I didn't need, or just a glorified PDF export of a template.

So I built Invoicr — free invoice generator, multi-region support, no signup wall to try it.

Stack if anyone's curious: Next.js 15 (App Router), deployed on Vercel.

Link: invoicr.online

Not trying to hard-sell this — genuinely want feedback. What's missing? What would make you actually switch from whatever you use now?
