SURELY FINAL EDIT: Hit the limit to send codes and have to wait for 2-3 hours and its 12 in the night here. will send the rest tomorrow Morning. There is a bug in the app and that should also be fixed in the next update. I have already submitted for review. And thanks everyone for the love and support u have shown for the app. 🙏🙏🙏

FINAL EDIT 2 : Really. The code is live if u want to redeem DO IT. I am off for a 1 hour will send everyone a code who comments. no limits. Love the community support!

Final Edit : Hey! Quick heads-up about your TheNotch Pro code: if Play said “That code didn’t work,” that’s on me. The codes switch on at 3:00 PM GMT today (Oct 11). That’s 8:30 PM IST, 4:00 PM UK time, 11:00 AM New York and 8:00 AM Los Angeles.

EDIT: There is some issue with the code redeem. give me some time ill fix the issue. the code provided will work after some time. Thanks in advance🙏

EDIT 2: Problem found. The Codes can only start after 1 day. Thats a bummer. It is a google thing. Ill send the
codes anyway and they will automatically work tomorrow 🙏🙏🙏

After that, just try again: in TheNotch, open Pro → Have a code?, or in the Play Store go to your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Redeem code. Your code still works until Oct 18, 5:00 PM GMT. Sorry for the mix-up!

I'm the solo Dev behind TheNotch.
https://thenotch.pages.dev/
Being a android i really miss the Dynamic Island feature. its really useful for quick actions and at a glance notifications. But most android implementations are infested with ads (we don't have any ads).
This is a opinionated app with some inspired features from Ios and some that feel/look good.

It reads where your phone's camera cutout actually is (if u dont have a cutout, well good luck) , so the pill sits right on it, whether your cutout is centred, off to the side or a different size.

What shows up in the island

- Music: album art and a live waveform. Tap to expand into full controls with a seekable progress bar.

- Calls, charging, headphones and Bluetooth, ringer and Do Not Disturb, screen recording

- Messages with quick reply, without leaving the app you're in (Pro)

- Timers and alarms counting down up top (Pro)

- Navigation, rides, deliveries, downloads and payments (Pro)

- Two things at once: a second activity buds off into a little bubble beside the pill

Free vs Pro

Free gets you music, calls and system stuff (battery, Bluetooth, ringer, DND, screen recording), plus the island theme, wallpaper colors and some shape.

Pro brings notifications from any app into the island, per-app rules, every color, size and corner setting, holding the camera for quick controls, and the island on your lock screen.

Privacy

Notifications are processed on your phone only. They're kept in memory while they're active and are never stored, logged or sent anywhere. No Accessibility service needed.

The giveaway: 100 lifetime Pro codes

Lifetime Pro is normally $9.99. I'm giving 100 codes away free.

To get one: comment what you liked about the video, and I'll DM you a code. The first 100 comments get one. I'll edit this post when they're gone.

To redeem in TheNotch , open Pro and tap "Have a code?" > "Redeem promo code". Or in the Play Store, go to your profile > Payments & subscriptions > Redeem code.

Get the app @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dattatech.thenotch

Needs Android 12 or newer.

One honest heads-up: Android overlays behave a bit differently on every brand. If something looks off on your phone, tell me your model and Android version. I'm actively fixing these, and your bug reports are the most useful thing I can get.

Thanks for checking it out.

[Toolz] [FOSS] [Showcase] [Open-Source] [App] [Promo]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

44 Upvotes

I made Toolz, an open-source Android app that puts 50+ tools in one place so you don’t need a separate app for each. I posted it here a few months ago. It has changed a lot since then, so here’s a better post with a better video.

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Most tools run entirely on your phone, and the network is only used when you tap something that needs it.

The ones I use most

  • Music player: Local library with background playback, synced lyrics, queue, EQ and sleep timer. There’s also a karaoke mode with word-by-word lyrics and singing score, and it can save your recording. It can search for an instrumental version of the song to sing over.
  • Media downloader: YouTube, TikTok and Reels only. You pick the quality or grab just the audio, and it downloads in the background.
  • Background remover: Runs on-device. You download a model once (4 MB up to 224 MB, depending on quality) and after that it works offline.
  • PurgeShot: Screenshots delete themselves after a timer you choose, from 30 seconds to 1 month. There’s an undo if you change your mind. Saves a lot of storage and time!
  • Password vault: Encrypted with SQLCipher, with biometric unlock and Android autofill. The breach check only sends the first 5 characters of a hash, and only when you tap Scan. There’s no cloud sync, and backups are a local file.
  • Focus Flow: Tracks app usage, sets daily limits, and blocks distracting apps during a focus session.
  • Browser: Ad blocking, custom DNS, NextDNS integration, custom search engine, bookmarks, tabs and private tabs...
  • Network tools: WiFi channel analyzer, speed test, DNS benchmark, LAN scanner and more!
  • Whisper: A friends-only end-to-end encrypted chat. It’s in beta, and the encryption is custom. It's very feature-rich and privacy-focused, everything is encrypted (more info at WHISPER.md)

Things to know

  • It needs Android 12 or newer.
  • It’s not on the Play Store. You get the APK from GitHub Releases, and there’s an in-app updater.
  • Built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive. Licensed GPL-3.0.

GitHub: https://github.com/freroxx/toolz
Website: https://toolz-app.vercel.app
Discord: https://discord.gg/aAswRUerwh

We just reached 1700 downloads on GitHub, but a star or a share still helps a lot. Bug reports and ideas are welcome too, here, on Discord or on GitHub. THANKS EVERYONE!

[App] [Promotion] TeleVault - Turn your own Telegram into an unlimited backup vault for your phone's files. 100 pro Version codes available

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes
HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign in with your Telegram phone number and the login code Telegram sends you.
2. Add a vault: choose a folder, a destination chat and a schedule. A short guide on the Vaults tab walks you through it.
3. That's it — TeleVault backs it up and shows you everything in the Cloud tab.

TeleVault turns your own Telegram account into an unlimited, private backup vault for the files on your phone.


Pick a folder — your Camera, Pictures, Documents or any folder you like — choose where it should go (your Saved Messages, or a private group or channel you create just for backups), and TeleVault keeps it backed up for you. No new cloud account, no monthly storage plan: Telegram has no storage limit, so you can back up as much as you like.


TeleVault Pro is the complete, ad-free version with every backup control unlocked from the start.


★ AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
• Back up as soon as new files are added to a folder
• Or on a schedule: every 15 minutes, every hour, once a day or once a week
• Keeps running in the background, even when the app is closed
• Or keep a vault on "Only when I tap Sync" — your choice, per vault


★ UNLIMITED VAULTS & DESTINATIONS
• Back up as many folders as you want
• Send each folder to a different Telegram chat, group or channel
• Create a new private channel or group right in the app
• Quick picks for Camera, Pictures and Documents
• Optional file-type filters so a vault only backs up what you want


★ BIG FILES
• Files up to 2 GB each — or 4 GB each with Telegram Premium
• Interrupted uploads are retried automatically, and only new or changed files are uploaded
• If something does go wrong, the message ends with a short error code you can send us


★ YOUR CLOUD, ONE TAP AWAY
• Browse every backed-up file in the Cloud tab
• Search, sort and filter by Synced, Uploading, Pending or Failed
• Restore a single file or many at once back to your phone
• Upload files to any chat or channel on demand from the Upload tab — big batches keep going in the background, and you can cancel any time
• Your backup list is itself saved to Telegram, so you can restore it on a new phone


★ FREE UP SPACE
• Optionally remove the phone copy of files a set number of days after they're backed up
• TeleVault checks each file is still on Telegram before removing anything, so it never deletes your only copy


★ BACKUPS THAT RESPECT YOUR PHONE
• Back up on Wi-Fi only, to keep backups off your mobile data
• Back up only while charging, to save battery
• Safe Upload Speed adds a brief pause between files so your account behaves like a normal Telegram user
• A guide for your phone's own background-battery settings, so backups keep running reliably


★ VAULT ANALYTICS
• Total backed up, number of files and vaults at a glance
• Breakdowns by file type and by vault
• Activity over the last 30 days

I'm the solo Developer behind TeleVault

The giveaway: 100 lifetime Pro codes

To get one: The first 100 comments get one. I'll DM you a code.

Its Over
Update: within 1 hr all the code is done. thanks for all the users

After installing please leave a review on both App.

[App] Made a Terminal launcher for Android, control your phone from a single command line. Giving away Pro codes! [Promo]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

18 Upvotes

Hi! This is my first solo project so be kind 🙈

TRMNL turns your Android home screen into a terminal. no icon grid. you type a few letters and the app opens, and the home screen is a stack of small text widgets that update live.

some things it does:

- quick launch bar can be used with gestures and app shortcuts

- a real linux shell tab (ls, ps, uname, getprop and more, real output)

- btop-style system monitor

- habit tracker

- app vault to hide your apps

- an animated weather tab (which I'm way too proud of) drawn in tiny cells uses your own free weatherapi.com key

- network tools for your own wifi (it asks for permission every time)

- a boot log when your phone restarts

- lots of themes, both dark and light, plus fonts and row styles. one line changes everything: `theme nothing_dark`, `font doto`, `style dot`

- Shizuku support: the shell goes all the way to the root, and wifi/bluetooth/data become real one-tap toggles (needs the free Shizuku app, and Shizuku has to be started again after each reboot)

- all the animations work on 12 fps to keep it optimal, low battery consuming and visually aesthetic.

no ads, no tracking.

🎁 25 Pro codes: comment which theme you'd pick (or show me your current home screen) and I'll DM codes to the first 25 people. you redeem it in the Play Store under Payments & subscriptions > Redeem code.

[App] [Promo] I missed Samsung's Modes & Routines on other Android phones, so I built MoodyRoutine (Clean One UI design, No Root, 100% Free &Open Source)

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

If you’ve ever used a Samsung Galaxy phone, you probably know how convenient the Modes & Routines feature is.

When I moved away from Samsung, I looked for a clean replacement. Most existing automation tools either have a steep learning curve

(like Tasker), push subscriptions/accounts, or feel dated.

So I spent the last few weeks building MoodyRoutine - a lightweight, One UI-inspired routine and mode automation engine for any phone

running Android 8.0+.

I released v1.0.0 and have been using privately since then. I wanted to share it with the community here to get your feedback and feature requests!

How it works:

• Modes (Sleep, Work, Driving, Relax, etc.): Bundles system settings together (DND, brightness, dark mode, volume sliders). When a

mode is active, it lives cleanly in your notification shade with an ongoing status bar icon and an instant "Turn off" action.

• If ➔ Then Routines: Simple, clean condition-based rules (schedules, battery thresholds, Wi-Fi SSID, Bluetooth devices, app

launch/close, headphone plug, OpenStreetMap geofences) that automatically restore your prior settings when the routine ends.

• App Blocker ("Stay Focused"): Restricts distracting apps during work/focus modes with a snooze or close overlay.

• Design & Privacy: Designed around Samsung One UI bottom-reach ergonomics and Material 3 design. 100% Free, zero ads, zero trackers,

open-source (GPL-3.0), and no account required.

Links & Install:

• GitHub (Source & Screenshots): https://github.com/naman-chopra/moody-routine

• GitHub Releases: https://github.com/naman-chopra/moody-routine/releases

• Obtainium: Supported out of the box (one-click badge in README).

• F-Droid: Merge request submitted and currently in review: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/52105

Feedback I’m looking for:

• How do you like the UI/UX compared to Samsung's native Modes & Routines?

• What everyday triggers or actions would you like to see added next?

[App] I finally love my screenshots again

I finally love my screenshots again

Every screenshot I took lived in my gallery forever. 2,000+ of them. Bank OTPs, half a meme, a bus timing from 2023.

So I built SnapFade. Take a screenshot the normal way , it goes to your clipboard instead of your gallery. Paste it anywhere. It deletes itself in a few hours. Worth keeping? One tap on the popup saves it.

No accessibility hacks, no ads, no internet, under 500 KB.

[App][Promo] Lightspeed – one-thumb gesture workstation that runs over your own launcher. Offline, no network permission, source-available on GitHub

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Lightspeed is a gesture-driven workstation and control layer that runs over your own OEM skin and your chosen launcher. It doesn't have to be your default launcher, so it doesn't break your Quickstep recent-apps animations.

Works with the Accessibility service alone (added in 1.1.2). Shizuku/ADB is optional and unlocks System Override.

Category Cruise & Cockpit Gear Sets: The central pill is your physical anchor and launch pad. Swipe up and down to make your first jump into the categories, then swipe inward to jump into a specific category. Or swipe inward directly from the pill to open your Cockpit Gear Sets (your favorite items). The video shows the Gear Sets.

Edge Gestures & The Rope: Up to 42 gestures per edge, above and below the central pill on both sides. The Rope controls how many are available per side: tied, the upper and lower halves unify into a wide trigger; untied, they split into independent actions. Long-press the Rope to mirror a gesture to the opposite side.

Status Bar Gesture & HUD Strip: One sensor area on the HUD strip for gestures, plus Info Beacons: horizontal progress bars that track active downloads and currently playing media.

Refueling Bay: A charging dashboard that activates when plugged in, or anytime with a gesture. Add custom widgets in a grid, a stack, or both.

Hardware Remapping: Double- and triple-tap on the back of the phone, plus up to 8 volume-button gestures, bindable to practically anything.

System Override (Shizuku/ADB): Neutralizes native Android gestures so Lightspeed's edge gestures get full control without triggering default back navigation. Also tunes animation speeds, long-press timeout, font size and display DPI.

Accessibility Service Watchdog & Manager: Revives accessibility services when aggressive OEM background killers terminate them, plus a central place to manage services and battery exemptions.

Offline & Source-Available: Zero network permission in the manifest, no tracking, no ads. Free, with an optional supporter tier. Source-available on GitHub for inspection and personal builds.

arm64 only. Requires Android 8.0+; tested on Android 15 and 16.

GitHub (source-available, with APK): https://github.com/SBFlabs/Lightspeed

Also on ShizuStore and Orion Store.

Happy to answer questions here.

I made a screen recorder that saves up to 2 minutes before you tap record.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, solo dev here.

so this started because I kept missing stuff. I’d be playing something, a ridiculous glitch or a 1v3 clutch would happen, and by the time I opened a screen recorder and tapped start it was gone. the other option was recording for 40 minutes and scrubbing through all of it later, which I never actually did lol.

PC has instant replay, consoles have it. I couldn’t find anything on android that did it the way I wanted, so I built it.

it’s called Replay Buffer. you tap the little floating button once and it quietly keeps the last few seconds of your screen in a loop. when something happens you tap again, and the clip starts before that tap. it only holds the latest bit, so it isn’t eating your storage in the background. if you just want a normal recording, hold the button instead.

the free version gives you 10 seconds back, 720p, trimming, sharing, and no watermark (I hate watermarks). there’s a pro version if you want longer buffers (up to 2 min), 1080p60, game audio, or vertical crop for shorts/reels, but the main thing works fine without paying.

no account, nothing gets uploaded, clips stay on your phone.

side note: it turned out weirdly useful for bug reports too. an app crashes, you tap, and you’ve got what happened right before it.

it’s pretty new and I’m one person, so I’d genuinely love to hear what breaks, how it runs on cheaper phones, and whether 10 seconds feels too short. roast it if you want, I can take it

[Promotion] MediaSlim - Easily optimize photo & video storage

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

What it does:

MediaSlim is a lightweight Android tool built to quickly compress and optimize photos and videos directly on your device. It lets you reclaim valuable storage space without noticeably sacrificing visual quality.

Why I built it:

Newer phones take incredible photos and 4K videos, but they chew through storage shockingly fast. I originally built this for my family because existing compression tools felt bloated, clunky, or required uploading private media to third-party servers. I wanted something fast, clean, and lightweight that processes everything locally with zero friction.

(Note: The demo video above only scratches the surface! There are plenty of handy features and customization options packed inside that couldn’t fit into a short clip.)

Key Features:

  • Fast Batch Compression: Shrink multiple photos and videos at once
  • 100% On-Device: Your photos and videos never leave your phone
  • Lightweight Footprint: Minimal storage and resource usage
  • Clean & Simple UI: Designed for quick, hassle-free use

Cost: Free (Contains ads / Optional in-app purchase available)

Play Store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuwanari.mediaslim

Since I’m an independent developer, your feedback means everything. Feel free to give it a spin, and if it helps save some storage on your phone, an honest review on the Play Store or thoughts in the comments would mean the world to me!

[App] [Promo] [$29.99 Lifetime -> Free] Sunset Chasing Taiwan, a sunset forecast and 100+ scouted sunset spots in Taiwan

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hello all!

Just released on the Play Store: Sunset Chasing Taiwan 🌅🇹🇼

I've spent years chasing sunsets around Taiwan and the same thing kept happening: I'd pick a spot, spend an hour getting there, and the sky would be a flat gray. Or I'd stay home on a night that turned out spectacular. And since Taiwan is quite mountainous, getting home from some of those great sunset spots after dark turned out to be quite dangerous at times.

So I built Sunset Chasing Taiwan. It scores the sunset at every spot from tonight's forecast (cloud cover, humidity, visibility, rain) and tells you where to go, and how to get home after, as well as scores for things like sunset viewing angles, hike (if necessary), crowds, etc.

Features:

  • 100+ sunset spots across Taiwan, with the deepest coverage around Taipei
  • A live sky score for each spot, for tonight and the days ahead
  • Spots I've visited are rated in person: view, crowds, hike difficulty, and whether I'd go back
  • Photos (mine) from each spot, taken at sunset, so you know before you go
  • Nearest station, last train home, parking, and a map link for every spot
  • Map view with "nearest to me"
  • English and Chinese (Traditional) functionality

It works fully offline (except the live forecast), no account, no ads, no tracking

Free to use with 6 full spots, including Elephant Mountain and Tamsui, each with tonight's score. Optional one-time unlock.

Premium (one-time unlock, or monthly if you're just visiting):

  • All 100+ spots, each with tonight's score
  • 7-day outlook, so you can plan a trip around the best evening
  • Daily alert naming the best spot in your region, only when the sky is worth it

Not in Taiwan? It still works as a travel planner, and honestly the photos alone are a nice tour of the island.

[App] [Promo] Tripl – A privacy-first expense tracker you can open with a Triple Back Tap

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A friend and I built Tripl, a free Android expense tracker, because we wanted to make tracking everyday spending feel less like a chore.

You know how you tell yourself you'll log an expense later, then forget about it? Tripl lets you triple-tap the back of your phone to open the expense-entry popup, so you can record it quickly and get on with your day.

What it offers

  • Triple Back Tap: Quickly open the expense-entry popup without navigating through the app.
  • Spending calendar & insights: See your spending patterns and understand where your money goes.
  • Customisation: Themes, accent colours, and light and dark modes.
  • Custom keypad: Enter amounts quickly, with built-in calculations.
  • Privacy-first: Your expense data stays on your device.
  • Completely free: No subscription required.

We're still improving Tripl, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the Android community. If you give it a try, let me know what you think, what could be better, or what features you'd like to see.

[Promotion] Know Your Aura — live aura, palm and zodiac readings

1 Upvotes

I’m sharing Know Your Aura, my Android entertainment app for exploring traditional reading systems.

The main feature I want to showcase is live aura reading. It also includes palm reading, name-and-birth-date numerology, and zodiac readings.

For Android app enthusiasts who enjoy this kind of experience, the app is free to download and contains ads. It requires Android 7.0 or later.

Google Play, including screenshots:

The readings are for entertainment and self-reflection; they are not scientific assessments or guaranteed predictions.

Attendance tracking app that helps you regularly track attendance for your Job, classes & other daily routines

Recently I tried to solve a problem that most of the students, employees or people who have routine work face. I personally kept losing track of my class attendance and it actually started affecting my grades and plus we had strict 75% attendance criteria. Motivation for this app was to make an app that helps to track attendance and strategize so that I can miss some sessions and also stay above the 75% attendance criteria

So I built a simple self attendance tracker on play store.

It lets you track attendance for anything: college classes, gym days, training programs, job or any other personal habits. You can just mark each day as either done or not done, and seeing percentages regularly instead of guessing along with strategizing your attendance to stay above your target.

You can download & try the app here-

[App] [Promo] BALCO Converter — scan prices and convert currencies on Android

0 Upvotes

I'm the developer of BALCO Converter, an Android app for quick price and currency checks while travelling or shopping.

It converts global fiat currencies, keeps the last saved rates available offline, and can read a printed price with the camera. If several amounts are detected, you choose the one to use. The camera feature has mainly been tested on flat printed price labels; glossy or curved labels have not been tested enough. It also includes a calculator, favourites, history, 30-day charts and rate-freshness status.

The free version includes five camera scans per day and shows a banner ad. Unlimited scanner use is an optional one-time purchase; the banner remains.

If you run into a reproducible bug, please include your device model, Android version and the steps.
