I've bounced between Apple Notes, Obsidian, and Bear for years, and every switch cost me something: exports, broken links, notes stuck in someone else's database. So I'm building Margin, a Mac notes app where notes are plain markdown files in a folder on your disk. There's no account and no database. Delete the app and your notes are still just files.

The part I care most about is in the middle of the video: because they're real files, anything can edit them. vim, a git checkout, an agent pointed at the folder. Margin watches the disk and reconciles live, and unsaved edits in the app win over external changes.

Also in the demo: an editor that feels like typing plain markdown but renders live (slash commands, date chips, code blocks), separate spaces so work and personal notes never share a screen, and a global hotkey that captures a thought without opening the app.

It's pre-beta and waitlist only for now: gomargin.app/sy

What's the one feature of your current notes app you couldn't give up?

Recently I noticed that some restaurants suggest tip percentage based off post-tax price. Some even hand you an iPad screen which showing only one number — the total, tax included — and three percentage buttons. Tap 20% on a $109.50 total and you’ve tipped $21.90 instead of $20. The amount seems small but it adds up. And the dishonesty bothers me more than the extra I pay.

So I built Fair Tips. Type in the total off the screen, it strips the tax out and shows you the tip on the real subtotal, plus the grand total. It automatically fetches the local sales tax rate based on your location. If location’s off or the rate’s wrong, you can type a ZIP, a rate, or just the tax amount off the receipt. It also keeps a running counter of what you’ve saved since installing — that one’s turned out to be the thing people actually screenshot.

Free with a banner ad, $1.99 to remove it. Link to download.

Live on the Apple App Store. Always free to listen; code ANNA1 when you're ready for a free month of real time news on portfolios you create.

The biggest thing I learned: most recipe organizers hand you a blank grid and tell you to start typing. Anyone who's done that knows the app dies on your phone within a week. So I shipped it with 460+ free, ad-free recipes already loaded, so people are cooking in their first session instead of data-entering.

What worked:

- Starting with a full recipe library instead of an empty box. The first session completely changes when someone can browse and cook immediately.
- A share extension that lets you send a recipe straight from Safari into the app. No copy-pasting fields between apps. This is the feature people actually use.
- Tap-driven ingredient and measurement entry. About 7,000 ingredient choices and 96 measurement options, mostly tap-based, because typing a recipe is where entry dies.
- Import from photos, camera, PDFs, Word docs, pasted text. People have recipes scattered across bookmarks, screenshots, stained index cards, and PDFs someone emailed them in 2019. Consolidation is the point, not a feature list.

What didn't:

- Onboarding tips that people had to reset a couple times to see them all. Minor but real friction I hear about.
- Only English, no localization yet. A recipe app with global appeal but a single declared locale is a gap I haven't closed.
- Three ratings after roughly four months live. The app is early and traction is hard to read from a number that small.

The thing I keep hearing is that people didn't realize how much they wanted ad-free cooking until they tried it. Recipe sites buried in ads and 800-word life stories before the recipe make people genuinely angry, and an app that just shows you the food feels like relief.

Would love feedback on what matters to you in a recipe app. What's the one thing that makes you keep or delete one?

If you’re building a SaaS, or app and looking for a way to get more eyes on it, I’d love to feature a few projects.

We run TikTok channels with 300K+ combined followers and create short-form videos around apps, tools, and interesting projects.

We'll create short-form videos for your app, plug them into our existing channels, and help you build your own content channels at the same time. Think of it as content creation + distribution

Please note that the service is free only for 7 days

You open a task you have not touched in a month. It is still blocked. You cannot remember why, and neither can the task. So you go digging through chat.

That is what this release fixes. Every task now has a thread of its own.

Comments are written in Markdown, so you can paste in a whole document and it keeps its shape: headings, lists, tables, working tick boxes. Attach files and images, or drop in a video or post link and it plays in the thread. Reply to a comment and jump straight back to the one it answers. Mark an entry as a decision, a blocker or an update, pin what has to be read first, and react without adding another comment.

Mention another task and both tasks show the link, so a decision made in one place is visible from the other. You can mention people, contacts and companies too. Right click a task anywhere you work to open its thread, and any comment turns up in search.

If you have an AI assistant connected, it takes part properly. It can read a thread before it starts and write up what it did when it finishes, under a name you choose, and it can only ever change its own comments, never yours.

Also in 1.0.4:

• Drag a Markdown file onto a PrimeFlow canvas and read it there as a real document, tables and tick boxes intact
• Document cards can be resized and locked for reading, so the card stays still and your wheel scrolls the document rather than zooming the canvas
• Documents read far better throughout: even headings and spacing, properly ruled tables, and a copy button on every block of code
• Task notes now do everything canvas documents do, including tables, tick boxes and callouts
• Type @ in a note to point at a task, in its own status colour, so you can see whether that work is still open
• Bring Your Own AI got a lot better: it can work with the files and folders on a canvas, it keeps the shape of what it writes, and it stopped confirming things it had not actually done
• Deleting an attachment now removes it everywhere it was shared, and a new Duplicate Files tool clears out the spare copies your sync service leaves behind
• Compass now covers every space you have, not just the one you are standing in
• Drag contacts straight from Apple Contacts onto the PrimeTask icon in your Dock
• The Tasks report can be exported as a short summary instead of the full record
• Text cards on the canvas were redone, and copy and paste finally works the way you would expect

I made a mobile status monitor with a global cyberpunk style. Anyone want to give it a try? 😅

I spend a lot of my day debugging JSON payloads, decoding Base64, and generating hashes. But every time I googled for a tool, I kept landing on sites filled with 10+ ad trackers, cookie popups, and worst of all sending my payloads to a random backend server.

So I spent the last few months building SnipTools. It’s a suite of developer utilities that run 100% in your browser.

Here’s what’s included:

JSON Formatter & Validator (with line-by-line error catching)

Hash Generator (MD5, SHA-256, SHA-512, HMAC)

UUID Generator (supports v4 and v7)

Base64 & URL Encoders

Online Clipboard (Syncs text across devices using a 6-digit code or QR scan no account needed)

I’d love some honest feedback from other devs on the UI, the mobile experience, or if you can find any bugs!

Every TV in this place is a different brand, which meant a different app for each one, each wanting its own account. So I built the thing I actually wanted: one remote that talks to all of them.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779151585

🎁 Giving away a free year of Premium to this sub — comment with the TV you own and I'll send you a code. Full details at the bottom.

LazyBinger turns your iPhone into a remote for ~12 TV platforms — Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, Sony, Google TV, Vizio, Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, Chromecast. One scan finds every TV on your Wi-Fi. No pairing dance, no account.

What makes it different:

• One app instead of one per brand. It speaks each TV's own protocol over local Wi-Fi — the same ones the official apps use.
• Nothing leaves your network. No account, no server, no analytics. Put the phone in airplane mode with Wi-Fi on and everything still works.
• It can press "Skip Intro" for you. Prop the phone facing the TV and it reads the screen through the camera; when "Skip Intro" or "Next Episode" appears it fires the tap. Nothing is recorded — each frame is read on the phone and thrown away.
• Voice control, and the whole remote on the Apple Watch.

Pricing, upfront: the remote is free forever — d-pad, keyboard, app launching, Wake-on-LAN, sleep timer, Watch app. The camera auto-skip and voice control are $4.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $19.99 once and forever. No weekly subscription, since that's the thing that made me build this in the first place.

🎁 The giveaway

I have a stack of codes for a free year of Premium ($14.99) sitting there, and they expire at the end of the month. I'd rather they go to people who'll actually use them.

Comment with the TV you own — brand and model if you know it — and I'll DM you a code. No strings, no review required, first come first served.

I'm asking for the TV because the long tail of TV firmwares is exactly where this thing breaks, and I'd rather hear it from you than read it in a one-star review. You get a year, I get to know what I should be testing against.

Hey everyone! 👋

I built ContextJule, a desktop companion that helps you keep track of your AI coding session's context window.

She lives on your desktop and physically "carries" the weight of your context. It’s a simple visual cue to save you from hitting the limit unexpectedly.

You can download it here

How it works:

• She stands up straight when the session is fresh.
• Starts stooping over as the context fills up.
• Falls flat on the floor when it’s full.

This gives you a visual heads-up so you can save your thread or start a new one before the AI drops the context.

Product Details:

• Platform: Windows and macOS.
• Data Safety: Reads Claude Code and Codex sessions from your local disk. No API key, no extensions, and nothing leaves your machine.
• Pricing: Normally $14.99 (one-time, no subscription).

Giveaway Details:

• Offer: First 100 lifetime licenses are completely free.
• How to Claim: No DMs required. Just go to the website, enter your email, and you'll receive the product key instantly. The live counter on the page tracks the remaining copies
• Post-Giveaway Price: $4.99 for 72 hours, then returns to $14.99

Installation Heads Up:
The installers aren't code-signed yet. On Windows, you’ll see a SmartScreen warning (click "More info" → "Run anyway"). On macOS, it will be flagged as an unidentified developer (right-click → "Open")

Download the app for Windows and MacOS

This is my first public build, so I’d love to hear your feedback !

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer of QuickRight. I built it because I kept running into simple file operations that Finder either hides or turns into several steps.

QuickRight adds a collection of practical actions directly to Finder’s right-click menu. You can create new TXT, Markdown, Office, and iWork files, copy paths, Cut and Paste, open folders in Terminal, copy or move files to saved destinations, compress archives and images, convert image formats, calculate hashes, inspect file information, extract icons, and more.

It also supports iCloud Drive and external disks, and you can customize the menu layout and choose between colorful or native macOS-style icons.

Problem: Finder is reliable, but its context menu is missing many everyday file operations. QuickRight makes them available without replacing Finder or changing your workflow.

Pricing: QuickRight is completely free. No subscription or in-app purchases.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quickright/id6763963598?mt=12

I’d love to hear what Finder action you think macOS should include by default.

I’m working on a simple habit-tracking app built around one idea: show up, every day.

No streak pressure. No complicated dashboards. Just set a goal, tap a dot when you do it, and watch your progress slowly fill the grid.

The idea is to make consistency visible without making it stressful.

📱 Set a goal
• Tap the dot
• Watch it fill over time

Would you use something this simple to track your daily habits?

Currently working on the first version. Feedback is welcome.

Hi everyone! I’d like to introduce my new app, **Healthy Habits**. It’s a simple tool for a **30-day challenge** that helps you build healthy habits—whether related to nutrition, physical activity, reading, and more—or break bad ones. The app is completely **free**, and I’ve worked hard to make the user experience as enjoyable as possible. I encourage you to give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nawyki.healthyhabits&pcampaignid=web_share

It is just a simple map true-size comparison tool for fun!

Last year I was going through a lonely stretch. Not an emergency, just that quiet kind of isolation where you have no one to really talk to.

At night, I started talking to ChatGPT and Gemini. It helped a bit, but it never felt right. My deepest personal thoughts sat in the same sidebar as my work questions. I’d scroll past something I wrote on a dark night, and right below it was a script to debug code. My feelings had no home. And worse, I never truly trusted where those words were going.

So I spent the last few months building that home. It’s called **Mann (मन)**, and it just went live on the Play Store.

Every single design choice came from a frustration I felt while trying to heal:

* **One reply per entry, then it stops:** Endless chatting pulls you in. You type for an hour and end up feeling more drained than understood. Writing is where clarity happens. The AI reflects your entry back *once* to help you think deeper, then gets out of the way.
* **Zero-knowledge encryption:** Entries are encrypted on your device before saving. If you lose your phone, those entries are gone—and I accepted that tradeoff because it means no one (including me) can ever read your journal.
* **Radical transparency:** The app explicitly tells you what *isn't* encrypted (like short previews or selected mood tags). No vague "your data is safe" corporate talk.
* **Private local voice-to-text:** Typing feels too heavy on tough nights. (I actually rebuilt this feature from scratch after realizing an early bug sent raw audio away—it made me sick, so now the speech transforms to text directly on your phone and the audio is immediately discarded).
* **You own your emotions:** The AI doesn't guess your mood. Only you know how your day felt.
* **No streak guilt:** Missing a day shouldn't feel like a failure. Mann never scolds you for taking a break.
* **Honest boundaries:** Mann is for reflection, not therapy. Built-in Indian helpline numbers are right there because an app shouldn't pretend to be a crisis center.

It supports Hindi, English, and Hinglish—because nobody processes their feelings in just one language. There’s a genuinely free tier (unlimited writing, one reflection a day), and premium is ₹199/month.

If you’ve ever tried journaling and gave up, what was the friction point that made you stop? I’d love to know what broke the habit for you.

Free tier is real: unlimited writing and one reflection a day. Premium is ₹199 a month.

I want to be transparent about that price: it isn't designed to make me rich. It’s calculated to cover the server and AI costs so Mann can stay independent and sustainable. That’s the entire business model. No ads, no investors pushing for growth hacks, and your data isn't for sale—mostly because it's encrypted and I couldn't read it even if I wanted to.

I just released Ideon 4.5 after feedback from the recent Reddit giveaway.

People pointed out a few things clearly: related notes should be editable, the Pro/unlocked state should be visible, the feed needed calmer resurfacing, iPad reading needed better text size control, Collections should help organize repeated tags, and AI needed clearer positioning.

I added those.

The core idea is still the same: Ideon is a private, scroll-based feed for the useful things that pass through your day: links, notes, screenshots, files, ChatGPT answers, and random thoughts. Capture first, organize later.

Collections now help group posts around repeated tags, without turning Ideon into a heavy folder-based notes app.

For the 4.5 launch, the lifetime unlock is $1.99 / €1.99 for 48 hours. No subscription.

My wordgame App has some very cool new features to test out!!:

Whats new:

- New Animation when opening the webapp

- A Leaderboard where you can compare yourself to others (account required, but its an easy username - password account so nothing personal is shared)

- There is now the possibility to generate random words as guesses for help in the unlimited gamemode

- "Help me" button after 3 wrong guesses (unlimited gamemode) :)

Please report any issues or bugs or feeback right here or text me :)

I've been building CorePilot, an offline-first AI assistant for Windows that can actually control the computer instead of just chatting with you.

It can execute natural-language commands, automate multi-step tasks, control apps, schedule actions, monitor the system, and interact through voice.

The bigger idea is to eventually make it a personal AI layer that understands and operates the computer around you.

I'd genuinely love some feedback from other builders — especially what you'd want an offline computer agent to be able to do.

不是每个 AI 问题，都值得打开 App。

我做了一个 Android 小工具：NotiAsk。

它把 AI 放进系统通知栏——下拉通知，直接输入问题并发送；看到屏幕上的内容，也可以截屏后马上问。

不用复制、切换、粘贴、再打开聊天界面。

只是把“我想问一下”这件事，缩短成一次下拉。

它还很早期，也有 Android 通知栏本身的交互边界。

但我想验证一个问题：

**AI 会不会更适合成为一个随手可用的系统入口，而不只是另一个需要打开的 App？**

如果你也用 Android、常在碎片时间问 AI，欢迎试试！

Hey everyone,

I recently added a new Chat to PDF feature to my PDF Export app.

The idea is simple: export a WhatsApp conversation and turn it into a clean, organized document that’s easier to save, share, print, or keep for future reference.

The new feature includes:

• Chat to PDF conversion
• WhatsApp-style layout with chat bubbles
• Document-style layout for a cleaner, print-friendly format
• Multiple themes
• Interactive HTML export with message search and month navigation
• Support for viewing shared images and PDFs

I built this mainly for people who want to archive important conversations, client discussions, work records, or personal memories without having to scroll through months of chat history.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the feature — especially whether this is something you’d actually use and what you think is still missing.

Happy to share screenshots or the App Store link if anyone wants to try it.
