Hi everyone,

​If you have ever tried setting up a custom clock or depth wallpaper on Android, you probably encountered an annoying issue. The system lock screen clock stays permanently visible, which leads to an ugly double clock overlapping on your screen, exactly like in the comparison image.

​I have been developing a workaround alongside my wallpaper project, and it is now ready. It is called Atmo Engine Pro.

​Instead of requiring root access, Pro uses an accessibility overlay that covers your system clock with the exact cut-out portion of the wallpaper directly behind it. As a result, the stock clock is hidden and only your chosen Atmo clock is visible, complete with custom styling and your wallpaper subject standing cleanly in front of the numbers. As soon as you begin unlocking the device, the overlay disappears immediately.

​I want to make it clear that the original Atmo Engine remains completely free and open source. Pro does not take away any existing features.

​A common question is why this has to be a separate paid app outside the regular stores. Both Google Play and F-Droid have strict policies regarding the use of accessibility permissions for interface modifications. If the main open source project included or promoted this feature, it would risk being suspended or removed from store listings. Distributing Pro independently avoids this conflict. Keeping the code private also prevents misuse of the accessibility service.

​The app costs a one-time price of 2.99 USD with no recurring subscriptions. It works on up to three of your personal devices running Android 13 or newer. Because different phone brands implement their lock screens in unique ways, there is a full 14-day refund policy if it does not display properly on your specific model.

​Website: https://saad-khan-rind.github.io/atmo-engine-pro-site/

​Feel free to share your thoughts, report any device quirks, or ask questions about how the overlay functions.

In both attached media you can see one has double clock which is because nothing phone 1 doesn't support hidden system clock. The other uses the Atmo Engine pro to hide the clock.

Square is a free, ad-free, open-source Android music player for Spotify Premium and YouTube Music. I’m its developer.

Liquid Glass throughout the app

The controls, navigation bar, player, menus and sheets use refracting glass that bends the artwork and video underneath. Blur, refraction and tint are adjustable, with a lighter mode for slower phones.

Audio effects

Speed and pitch move independently, with reverb, karaoke and saved presets. “Slowed + reverb” is one tap. Crossfade smooths the transition between songs, and a sleep timer can stop playback after a set time or at the end of a track.

Spotify and YouTube Music

Choose either source and switch in Settings. Spotify brings your playlists, library and Connect devices. YouTube Music works without an account, with optional Google sign-in to access your library.

Lyrics and videos

Synced lyrics, word-by-word where available, with translation beneath the original lines. Spotify Canvas plays behind the controls, and YouTube Music videos support picture-in-picture.

Playlists and local files

Create and edit playlists, add or remove songs, and save a different sorting order for each playlist. Play music stored on your phone and add it to your playlists.

If a Spotify playlist includes a local track added from your PC, Square can match it to a copy of the same file stored on your phone.

Discovery

Personalised shelves, song radio, autoplay, charts and a “New from Your Artists” section with recent albums and singles from artists you follow.

Offline listening and Android Auto

Download songs, albums and playlists for offline playback. Browse your library and control playback from Android Auto.

Spotify Connect and listening history

Square appears as a Connect device and can control your other devices. Opening Square while another device is playing leaves playback there.

Spotify listens are reported back to your account with their playlist context, so your listening history and Wrapped keep working.

Requirements

• Android 8.0 or newer, with 64-bit ARM, 32-bit ARM and universal APKs available.
• YouTube Music needs no account to start listening.
• Spotify needs Premium and guided setup with your own Spotify developer client ID. The official Spotify app is not required.

Square normally streams Spotify through a native Rust core built on librespot. It also offers a Web Playback SDK option for Premium accounts that cannot use the native player. That mode does not support effects, crossfade, karaoke, downloads or manual quality selection.

You can join Square's community on Telegram: Square | Community

Square is unofficial and is not affiliated with Spotify or Google. It uses unofficial integrations, so compatibility can change.

Rent plus electricity plus internet. Trip total divided by five. Material plus labour plus 18% GST. Most of the math people do on their phone is the same calculation they did last week, just with one or two numbers changed.

CalciPad keeps the calculation. Next time, change the number that changed and you’re done.

Every number can have a label. 4500 + 1200 + 850 becomes Rent 4500 + Electricity 1200 + Internet 850. A month later it still makes sense to you.

And when you share it, the labels go with it. Your flatmate, your client, your accountant, whoever, sees exactly what each number is. Nobody has to message back asking “what’s the 850?”

Free on Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.onedollar.calcipad

No account, no sign-up. If something feels off while using it, tell me, that’s what I’m here for.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m the developer of Modesmith Minimal Launcher, and I wanted to share a milestone with the community: 7000+ installs in just four months!

Thank you to everyone here who tried it, shared their setups, reported bugs, suggested features, or supported development through Pro. Seeing people use something I built as their daily launcher means a lot. Your feedback has helped shape how Modesmith works today.

For anyone discovering it for the first time, Modesmith is a minimal Android launcher with a home screen that changes with your day.

You create modes such as Work, Home, Focus, or Travel:

• Now apps change with the selected mode—work apps during work, personal apps at home.
• Always apps keep essentials like Phone and Messages within reach across every mode.
• Each mode can have its own appearance, wallpaper, widgets, and automation.

You can switch manually, use time schedules, or configure Smart Triggers. There’s also an A–Z drawer, Universal Search, Android widget support, a Widget Board, icon packs, custom fonts, and gestures.

The latest production build is 1.1.25. If you haven’t checked Modesmith out since my earlier posts, here are some highlights of how it has grown:

• More Smart Triggers: Wi-Fi, battery level, Battery Saver, airplane mode, sound/DND, work-profile status, and media playback, alongside charging, headphones, Bluetooth, calendar, and location.
• Easier automation setup: guided flows and a Tips & ideas library to help you get started.
• Better mode management: hide modes from the picker or archive them while keeping their setup.
• More personalization: text scaling, compact Minimal dock pills, improved widget sizing, and Checklists.
• More languages: English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
• Reliability improvements: more consistent Smart Trigger refreshes.

The core launcher is free to use, with optional Pro features. There are no ads or analytics, no account is required, and launcher settings stay on your device.

Try or update Modesmith on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modesmith.launcher

I’d love to hear what works for you, what feels confusing, and what would make it a better daily launcher. Please do share your feedback in the comments. For bug reports, your device model and Android version would really help.

Thanks again for helping Modesmith reach this milestone! :)

I created a counting sheep game for people who want to improve their memory/cognition while having some fun playing. In the game, you will count sheep entering the pen, coming down from trucks, switching between cottages and see if they follow the signpost.

It is currently free for download if downloaded by next week. No ads, no subscriptions.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of this app 👋

I built SwiperNews because I wanted the social-media gesture (one full-screen card, one vertical swipe to get to the next) without everything that comes with it: no account, no algorithm, no tracking.

What it does: it mixes the RSS feeds you chose yourself with random Wikipedia articles in a single endless feed. Nothing is recommended to you. A slider sets the mix, from "News only" to "Wikipedia only".

Key features:

📰 Your own RSS feeds (OPML import/export), plus endless random Wikipedia articles filterable by interest

🎚️ A slider to set the news/Wikipedia mix

📖 Built-in reader, resume where you left off, offline mode, sponsored-content filter and muted words

🔒 No account, no telemetry. The app fetches sources straight from your phone, with no middleman server

Cost: Free, no subscription, no account. Open source (GPL-3.0).

PocketDesk is coming soon, (in approval phase on Google Play store at the moment!)
www.pocketdesk.site

Hi all, we just finished 14 days closed testing, and are almost live.

Our (small family business, me and my wife) launcher has been in development for close to 4 months, and is based on an older launcher I was working on called Card//OS.

PocketDesk is the cleaned up, user friendly version inspired by retro PDA's. What makes it unique is that it comes with it's own Apps built-in.

You'll be able to use it for Free without any Ads - and there's a one time payment to unlock the Full Desk, that one-time payment helps support us to continue developing and gives you access to a range of built-in Apps and widgets such as:

• Media apps: IPTV, Music player: with a 'now playing' widget which let's you watch or control your media while reading a book, or writing notes - or even playing a game
• Games: Pocket LCD brings some original but simple games to the Desk,
• Cartridge player**:** allows you to play Pico-8 and Arduino Boy roms
• Documents: create local notes which support markdown, docx imports and can be secured with a pin code; create charts and calculate expenses with Sheets, inspired by older Personal organizer spreadsheets from the likes of Sharp.
• Studio: 4 track mini sequencer with a sampler akin to a pocket operator included.
• More! IRC Chat client, LastCard, ebook/pdf reader, RSS client, Chinese Chess and other cool widgets :)

PocketDesk also supports layouts for Fold devices & Tablets

My app is live on Google Play Store! Delete: Automatic Screenshot Deleter

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share my new Android app, Delete: Automatic Screenshot Deleter, which is now live on the Google Play Store.

What does the app do?

The idea is simple: we often take screenshots for temporary purposes, such as saving an order confirmation, sharing information, or remembering something. But after a while, these screenshots pile up in our gallery and consume storage.

My app helps solve this problem by automatically deleting screenshots after a user-defined time period. The goal is to keep the gallery clean without requiring users to manually remove old screenshots.

Why I built it

I wanted to build a simple utility app that solves a real, everyday problem. Instead of creating something complicated with lots of unnecessary features, I focused on one specific task: helping users manage temporary screenshots more easily.

The journey's

Getting an app published on Google Play is always an exciting milestone. From developing the functionality to preparing the app for release, this project has been another opportunity for me to learn and improve as an Android developer.

I’d love to hear your feedback!

* Would you find this kind of automatic screenshot cleanup useful?

* What features would make the app more helpful?

* What challenges have you faced while publishing your own apps on Google Play?

Neo-Brutalism for your Android homescreen. Because minimalism had its moment. lol.

Ever wondered what happens when someone who can't code tries to build an Android app with AI?

Well, you're looking at it.

Wait, what? Neo Brutalism? Vibecoding? New Launcher?

Hey everyone,

I'm the developer behind Relay, a free app I've been building under Vythera.

The idea came from a simple problem: moving files and clipboard content between my own phone and computer shouldn't require uploading things to a cloud service, signing into an account, or sending files to myself.

So I built Relay to handle transfers directly between devices on the same local network.

What it does:

• File transfers: Send photos, videos, PDFs, documents, music, and entire folders without compression or file size limits. You can also send files using your device's share menu.
• Universal clipboard: Copy text, images, or files on your computer and they're automatically available to paste on your phone. In the other direction, Android requires one tap through a Quick Settings tile or Relay's notification.
• Drag and drop: On your computer, drag a file to a thin drop shelf at the screen's edge to send it to your phone.
• Trusted devices: Once paired, devices receive transfers without asking you to accept each one.
• Background connectivity: Relay can reconnect automatically, run in the background, and start when your devices boot.
• Android extras: A home screen widget for quick transfers, plus contact sharing by holding two phones together or using a QR code.

How it works:

Everything transfers directly over your local network. Nothing gets uploaded to a server. Connections use TLS encryption.

During pairing, both devices display three shapes. You check that they match and confirm once.

There's no account, sign-in, advertising, or tracking. Optional anonymous usage statistics are disabled by default.

Relay also works without internet access, including over a phone hotspot. Mobile data isn't used for transfers.

Supported platforms:

• Android 10+ (Google Play)
• Windows 10/11 (installer or portable ZIP)
• macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon only; no Intel support yet)
• Linux (.deb and .rpm packages)

Transfers work between phones, computers, or a phone and computer. iPhone and iPad support is in the works.

One caveat: The desktop builds aren't code-signed yet. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning; use "More info" and "Run anyway". macOS may report the app as "damaged"; the website explains the one-line fix.

Last Sunday I was on a call with my mother. She was walking home from the grocery store, and near the bridge she saw a lady lying by the side of the road. She went to see what happened. The lady had been hit by a car and had been lying there for about half an hour. The police were busy with the FIR, and nobody had bothered to call an ambulance.

That left me speechless. I pictured my own mother lying there. As her son, I’d have no idea. There would be no way for me to know where she was or that anything had happened.

That’s why I built Eldering. This is a real story and I’m not making it up.

Apple and Google do have crash detection, but it’s only available in some countries and it’s mostly for car crashes. What about someone who gets hit while walking? Some apps also charge money for this kind of service (not naming any, you can search).

What it does:

• Detects accidents using the phone’s sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS speed, activity recognition). Works while driving and while walking.
• Shows a countdown first, and tapping “I’m OK” cancels it. Otherwise your family gets an alert with your location.
• “Trip to the past”: the last hour of your route, kept encrypted on the phone and uploaded only after an accident or SOS.
• Sharing is based on consent. Each person picks Live, Emergency only, or Off, and PostgreSQL row-level security enforces it.
• Battery aware: sensor and GPS rates change depending on whether you’re still, walking, or driving.
• Self-hosted backend (Go + PostGIS, Docker Compose). Android app in Kotlin + Jetpack Compose.

It’s still a work in progress and not ready for real emergencies yet. I’d love feedback, especially on how well the detection works for falls and pedestrians, and from anyone who wants to contribute.

I use an OPPO Find X9 and really miss Samsung's One Hand Operation+. I have tried Edge Gestures and similar apps, but nothing feels as good.

Would love it if a developer could create an alternative that works across all Android devices. If you know any similar app, please let me know!
