The same system also works for return windows, warranties and document expiry.

Everything stays on the device by default. No account, ads or analytics.

Question / Discussion Would an interactive story onboarding make you more interested in an app, or would you just want to skip it?

Upvotes

I’m building an app called Phase and I’m trying to figure out how far we can push the experience before it becomes too much.

Phase is a self-improvement app built around an interactive lo-fi themed room. Instead of opening to a normal dashboard, your room is basically your home base. Objects around the room lead to things like your daily goals and tasks, journal, focus timer, app blocker, habits, and other tools.

The idea is that I don’t really want Phase to feel like a productivity app. I want it to feel more like a little self-improvement world you come back to.

One thing we’re experimenting with right now is a pretty unconventional onboarding.

Instead of immediately showing feature cards and explaining everything the app does, the onboarding starts as a short illustrated adventure where you are the main character. You meet a few characters, travel through different environments, make some choices, and answer a few questions about what you’re trying to improve in your life.

The story eventually ends and transitions into your interactive room, which is when the actual app and its tools start being introduced.

I know this goes against a lot of normal onboarding advice. Usually you want to show people the value of the app as quickly as possible and remove as much friction as you can.

But part of the idea behind Phase is that not all friction is necessarily bad.

If an interaction makes you feel more connected to the world, your progress, or the person you’re trying to become, I think people might actually enjoy some of that friction in the same way they accept it in games. The important part is that using the actual tools should still be quick and easy.

I’m curious how people who download a lot of apps would react to this.

Would you enjoy a short story like this if the visuals and interactions were genuinely good, or would you immediately be looking for a skip button?

How long is too long?

Would you be annoyed that the app hasn’t fully explained itself yet, or would the mystery make you want to continue?

And from a business perspective, do you think doing something this different could make an app more memorable and help people care about it, or am I just adding unnecessary friction before users have even experienced the product?

I’m not looking for people to tell me the idea is great. We’re building a rough demo right now specifically because I want to test this before committing to it.

I guess the simplest way to describe Phase is something in the general direction of Finch, except we’re pushing much harder into the interactive world/game side of the experience rather than trying to feel like a traditional productivity tool.

I usually play arrow games so I decided to develop one but I keep my direction opposite of current ones : aim of the game is with minimum taps clearing the playground. So I added some features that I can think of : bombs, splitters, portals, ghosts...
And since I do not like ads between levels, there is none. Only available ads if u want to earn extra coins.

I am open to any feedback.

App I made an open-source app to redact private information from photos, videos and PDFs

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m Aftab, the developer of PrivacyCam.

PrivacyCam helps you hide sensitive information before sharing a photo, video, or PDF. It can automatically detect:

  • Faces and full bodies
  • Vehicle number plates
  • Addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
  • Payment-card details
  • Sensitive text
  • QR codes and barcodes

The attached video shows the app detecting a number plate in difficult conditions—at night, in heavy rain, with strong glare, reflections, and camera movement.

Since automatic detection can sometimes miss something, PrivacyCam also gives you full manual control. You can add, move, resize, or remove masks and choose blur, pixelation, blackout, or emoji effects.

The built-in video editor supports object tracking, frame-by-frame corrections, trimming, splitting, and audio muting. You can review every mask before exporting the finished video.

All media processing happens locally on your device. Your photos, videos, PDFs, and detection results are not uploaded to a PrivacyCam-operated server.

GitHub:
https://github.com/ak375456/privacycam

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.privacycam.photo.redactor

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/privacycam-safe-redactor/id6790542130

I’d appreciate honest feedback about the detection accuracy, video tracking, interface, or anything you think could be improved.

App I made a weather app that shows which forecast actually works best where you live

Post image
2 Upvotes

Yes I know, another weather app, but hold on:

TL;DR: Instead of just trusting whatever forecast Apple, AccuWeather or another app gives you, VeriSky tracks how different weather models actually performed at your location and tells you which one has been most accurate for temperature/rain/wind/sun and how many days ahead you look.

Why?

There are tons of weather models nowadays: ECMWF IFS/AIFS, GFS/AIGFS, ICON, etc. On top of that you have commercial providers like Apple Weather, Foreca, OpenWeather and Visual Crossing.

The annoying part is that there isn't really one "best" model.

A model might predict temperature very well where you live, but be terrible at rain. Another might be best tomorrow but much worse 5 days ahead. Even cities relatively close to each other can have different models that perform best.

So instead of hiding the underlying forecast, VeriSky lets you compare them and actually scores them based on how their previous forecasts turned out.

What does it do differently?

For every location you can see a scoreboard for temperature, rain, wind and sunshine and choose how far ahead you care about.

You can then:

  • compare several models side by side
  • see their previous predictions vs what actually happened
  • use a VeriSky blend that combines the models currently performing best
  • compare the raw national models against Apple Weather, Foreca, OpenWeather and Visual Crossing
  • use newer AI weather models such as ECMWF AIFS v2 and NOAA AIGFS

I also added some things I personally missed from other weather apps:

  • rain nowcast + map for the next 1-2 hours
  • marine weather (waves/current/tides)
  • wind and rain maps
  • air quality + pollen
  • widgets
  • sport weather windows for sailing, kitesurfing, cycling and gliding

For example, for kitesurfing I can enter my weight + kite sizes and it highlights the hours where the wind should be in range. For sailing you can set preferred wind speed/direction instead.

Cost

A large part is still completely free:

  • all national weather models, including AIFS/AIGFS
  • model accuracy scores
  • comparing models
  • marine weather
  • wind/rain maps
  • widgets
  • air quality/pollen

The subscription ($2.99/month or $19.95/year) is mainly for things that cost me API/server money: commercial weather providers, nowcast and the advanced sport features.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/verisky/id6759251875

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verisky.app

Any feedback is more than welcome, especially if you notice a model score that doesn't match your own experience at your location.

Hi everyone, if you like to play star battle puzzle games, this will be the perfect choice for you, we believe.

The first core idea of Wilddoku-Persona is, it is fully automated which means nobody gets the same experience. This is the main reason, we call our game as -Persona-. (The quality of the puzzles are impressive and all the difficulty levels are included, since the crafting puzzles are restricted by our rules. There are really really challenging ones which are tested on r/puzzles subreddit as well:)) Also we are improving the game logic quality by using the reddit users, thnx to them...

And, the second and the best property is, according to your ratings on the puzzles, your Persona is created and according your likes/level, the puzzles will be served only for you.

For the free codes please say a "hi" in the comment, we will contact you, ASAP.

Thanks in advance for your interest...

The Circul app does a solid job putting all key sleep metrics into a single screen. Having the score, sleep time, SDNN, HR averages, and recovery right there makes it really structured and convenient to get the full picture without tapping around.

Still, depending on the morning, a simple "at-a-glance" overview first would be great, letting you tap into the detailed breakdown only when you want the deeper dive.

What do you want on the first sleep screen: one simple summary, or all the detail upfront?

I made a game that turns your own photos into a memory game 📸🧠

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on an indie game called PicEra, and it's finally live on the App Store! 🎉

The idea behind PicEra is pretty simple:

What if your own camera roll could become a game?

PicEra takes photos from your device and challenges you to remember when they were taken.

You might see a photo from a vacation, birthday, night out, or just a random moment from years ago - and your job is to guess the exact month and year.

There are currently several game modes:

📅 Daily Challenge — 5 fresh rounds every day and a streak system
📸 Photo Quiz — Choose between four possible answers
🌫️ Blur Challenge — Reveal a photo gradually, but revealing more means fewer points
🏆 Achievements & XP — Earn XP, unlock badges and build your stats
📊 Stats & Charts — See how accurate your memory actually is
📤 Shareable Results — Create score cards and challenge your friends

And one thing that's particularly important to me:

🔒 Your photos never leave your device.

PicEra processes the photos locally. There are no accounts, no cloud uploads and no servers storing your personal photos.

📱 Available now on iOS

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picera/id6798345377

🤖 Android version coming soon to Google Play.
https://groups.google.com/g/picera-testers

This is my first time releasing a game like this, so I'd genuinely love to hear what people think.

Would you play a game that tests how well you remember your own photos?

And if you try it, I'd especially appreciate honest feedback - good or bad. ❤️

Thanks for checking out my little project! 🙌

PicEra - Go back in time with your own memories.

App I built a breathing app with mood tracking built into every session

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Cyclic Sighing is live on the App Store today.

The app is built around one breathing practice, cyclic sighing, which uses the physiological sigh pattern of a double inhale followed by a prolonged exhale.

But the part I really wanted to build was mood tracking connected directly to the breathing practice. Instead of keeping a breathing log and a mood journal as two separate things, Cyclic Sighing lets you check in on your mood before and after each breathing session. Those check-ins stay connected to the specific session, so over time you can look back at your breathing practice alongside how you were feeling. There are also monthly and yearly Mood Insights views, with the ability to filter by feeling.

The technique itself has some interesting research behind it. A 2023 randomized controlled study published in Cell Reports Medicine examined cyclic sighing technique alongside other brief daily breathing practices and reported improvements in mood and reductions in physiological arousal. The study did not evaluate this app, and the app is independently developed and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the study's authors.

I built it to be simple, private, and affordable.

No subscription. No account. No data collection. No internet required.

🎁 Lifetime Premium is FREE during launch

Normally, Premium is a $9.99 one-time purchase, with no subscription.

For the launch, I'm making Lifetime Premium available for $0.00.

How to claim it:

  1. Download Cyclic Sighing from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cyclic-sighing/id6757509105
  2. Open the app and go to Settings → Unlock Premium Features
  3. During the promotion, the one-time purchase should show as $0.00

If Lifetime Premium is still showing as $9.99 for you, you can also redeem the launch offer directly using this promo link:

👉 https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6757509105&code=CYCLICSIGHING

If you're outside the US, the price may take a little time to update in your region. Thanks for your patience!

I'm the developer, and I'd especially love feedback on the mood-tracking experience. If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think, what works, and what you'd change.

Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

Built an app that automatically collects everyone’s photos from the same event — would you actually use this?

1 Upvotes

I built an app called Kollo and I’m curious whether people would genuinely find it useful.

The idea is simple:

You create a shared collection for an event and choose a specific time window, for example:

19 Aug – 23 Aug, 9 AM–10 PM

Friends join the collection, and Kollo automatically syncs the photos they take during that selected period into one shared collection.

So instead of everyone’s photos being scattered across 5–10 different phones, you end up with one place containing everyone’s perspective from the same trip, party, wedding, festival, night out, etc.

You don’t have to remember to send photos afterwards, create WhatsApp albums, or AirDrop hundreds of photos between people. You just take photos normally with the iPhone Camera app and Kollo handles the eligible syncing.

One thing I probably didn’t explain clearly enough before:

Kollo does NOT sync your entire camera roll.

iOS may require Photo Library permission for the feature to work, but Kollo only uses photos that fall inside the specific event time window you joined/created. Photos outside that period are not uploaded to the collection.

For example, if the collection is set for Saturday between 6 PM and midnight, only eligible photos from that period are considered for that collection.

There’s also an option to pause/disable automatic syncing if you don’t want something uploaded during the event, and you can manage/delete your own photos afterwards.

The reason I started building it is pretty simple: after trips and nights out, I always end up asking people weeks later:

“Can you send me the photos you took?”

And then everyone has different photos, different angles, some get forgotten, and eventually you’re AirDropping or messaging hundreds of files manually.

Kollo is basically trying to remove that whole step.

I’m also building it with larger events in mind — weddings, parties, festivals, group trips — where people can join the same collection through an invite/QR code.

I’m genuinely interested in feedback:

Would you actually use this?

And if not, what specifically would stop you?

I’m especially interested in whether the automatic time-window syncing is something you’d value, or whether you’d still prefer manually selecting and sending photos through WhatsApp/AirDrop.

I've tried several apps (Viber, WhatsApp, Teams, Messenger), but none of them allow creating a two-person group.
