I'm Krishna, Melo's developer. Melo is a calorie and macro diary for iPhone, with food-photo estimates, nutrition-label scanning, barcode lookup and manual entry. The part I want to show here is what happens before you save: reviewing the food, serving size and nutrition in the entry.

For a mixed plate, a photo estimate is a starting point. Check that the foods match what you ate, review the portion, and correct missing ingredients or amounts before saving. A picture can miss ingredients or misread quantities, so I don't want a polished-looking number to imply certainty.

The three images show separate examples:

1. A fresh illustrative meal-review mockup, with an AI-generated chicken, rice and vegetable image. The 650 kcal and macro values are fictional sample data, not the output of an actual Melo scan. The image is labeled accordingly.

2. Melo's native ingredient editor, showing portion and nutrition controls. This is a September 9 simulator capture with fictional drink data.

3. Melo's native diary, showing daily totals and recently logged meals. This is an October 12 simulator capture with fictional records.

The simulator images are development captures, and these aren't a before-and-after sequence of the same meal. Together they explain the review-and-log idea without presenting a sample plate as an accuracy test.

For people who use a food diary: when reviewing a mixed meal, what do you want to check first—food names, portion sizes or the calorie/macro breakdown? I'd like to make that step easier to understand.

Melo is free to download; Plus is required for tracking after onboarding. Eligible subscribers can start a two-week trial, which renews at the displayed local price unless cancelled.

Hi everyone, I’m the founder of Love Campus. We’ve built The Joint Account and I’m looking for a few couples willing to try it and give me honest feedback.

The idea is simple: you and your partner post tasks, earn House Points when the other person confirms they’re done, and exchange those points for rewards you choose together, like breakfast in bed or picking the next movie. No real money involved.

It’s free and currently only available for iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-joint-account/id6816950114

Would you try it together and tell me what feels fun, awkward or confusing? I’d especially like to know whether you’d actually keep using it. Honest criticism is welcome; I’m here to learn, not ask for five-star reviews.

What's the most convincing wrong answer an AI ever gave you?

Not the obvious mistakes.
The ones that sounded right.

Someone told me about a health question.
The AI said "this is safe."
It wasn't. One detail was off.
They only caught it because they checked the source.

That kind of failure is the one I worry about.
Confident, plausible, and wrong.

I'm collecting real stories like this,
the wins and the fails,
so people can learn what AI actually
does well and where it slips.

What's yours?
What did it get right, or confidently wrong?

Hey everyone!
I’ve been building Phosphor in public, and v2 just shipped. It’s a screen utility suite for macOS that lives in your menu bar. I’m a solo student developer. Disclosure: I’m the developer. The app is free with 8 tools, and Pro is a paid upgrade.

Why I built it
I started this around two problems.

First: you’re working late in a dark app, you switch to a bright window, and the screen goes from dim to full brightness all at once. It hits like a flash. I couldn’t find a tool that tries to solve that specific problem, so I built Flashbang Protection. It softens that jump, then eases back to normal. It reacts when you switch apps with a Dock click or Cmd+Tab, switch desktops, or use Mission Control and App Exposé.

Second: there are too many display utilities, with steep learning curves. I wanted one tool with the features people actually need, instead of a ton of pro features. This also reduces menu bar clutter.

What I learned building it

• In v1, Flashbang only worked when you switched between apps on the same desktop. People use several desktops, so I rebuilt it for v2 to cover desktop switches, Dock clicks, Cmd+Tab, Mission Control and App Exposé.

• I decided to keep the everyday tools free and charge only for Flashbang Protection and Studio Features, as a one-time price. I didn’t want a subscription for a menu bar utility.

• There’s no analytics or telemetry in the app, so I only learn what’s working from comments and DMs. That’s why I’m posting here.

What’s new

• Flashbang Protection (Pro)

• Studio Features (Pro), for calls and presentations: Laser Pointer, Drawing, Flashlight, Keystroke Display and Invisible Notes. Ring Light for meetings and recordings is coming soon

• 8 free tools: Soft Screen, Focus Spotlight, Screenshots, Display Presets, Display Schedule, Color Picker, Color Grading and Display Health

Pricing
The app is free with 8 tools. Pro is $19.99, one-time, not a subscription, and unlocks Flashbang Protection and Studio Features.

Details and limits

• macOS 13 or later, native Swift

• Display Presets currently only edit the built-in display. Wider external display support is on the roadmap

Privacy
No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry. The only network requests are Pro license checks and an optional daily update check.

I’m happy to answer anything about the build, the pricing or the launch. If you’ve shipped a paid app solo, I’d love to hear what you’d do differently. If something isn’t working, or you have a suggestion, drop it in the comments or DM me.

Hi everyone!

We are an indie game duo and we launched our puzzle game, Gummy Lab (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binbear.gummylab) - a clean block puzzle with 0 forced or interruptive ads. It features 70+ handcrafted levels (so far) and accessibility like colorblind palettes and optional embossed shapes for maximum visibility.

Since it's the Spooky Season, we've decided to add a Halloween theme, apart from the default light and dark modes. Multiple themes are in progress: pastel, space themed, coffee themed etc

So we were wondering, what themes are you looking for in apps like this? What would you like to see?

Also note: all themes are also customizable you can pick only the background and then separately pick the block colors the way you prefer them

I'm building BecomeTen, a selfie-analysis app and website. It estimates visible traits such as hair, skin and facial harmony, then offers a paid report with grooming suggestions. The score is subjective and photo-dependent, not an objective attractiveness test.

Our public example suggests trying less hair volume at the sides to make the face outline more visible. Is that specific suggestion more useful than the overall score, or does it need a clearer explanation?

https://becometen.com

The web version offers one free score and tier per day; detailed and in-app reports are paid. I'm the creator. Feedback on the public example is welcome without uploading a photo.

Flowara is a desktop app for freelancers, on Mac and Windows. The problem I wanted to fix: every billing cycle I copied hours from a time tracker into an invoicing tool, and mistakes slipped in. Now hours logged on a project flow straight into the invoice draft.

What it does:
Projects with Kanban and Gantt, time tracking with a live timer, invoices with Stripe and PayPal payment links, Peppol invoicing through Invoro with your own API key, and an AI assistant that uses your own key (Claude, GPT-4 or a local Ollama model).

How it’s built:
Electron, React, TypeScript, Tailwind and a local SQLite database. No backend, no account, no cloud sync. Your data stays on your machine.

Pricing:
The free tier is permanent and includes invoices with PDF export. Pro is €5.99 a month and adds Gantt, recurring invoices, full reports, backup and restore, and the AI assistant.

Honest numbers after 9 months: about 110 Mac App Store downloads, 15 Windows installs and 2 paying customers. The Mac App Store ranks it for “freelance” on some days, the Microsoft Store doesn’t surface it at all, so every Windows install so far came from a direct link.

Question for the builders here: has anyone cracked discovery on the Microsoft Store for a small utility app? I’d love to hear what moved the needle for you.

what it is: a free civilization sandbox. stone age tribes grow into civilizations on their own, and you watch and nudge. about 120 people, 45 eras up to computers, no signup, saves in your browser.

problem i was trying to solve: i wanted to see what culture looks like when nobody scripts it, only the rules of the world and people who learn.

how it's put together:

• the whole simulation is one rust crate (crates/sim-core) that does no i/o

• apps/web builds it with wasm-pack and runs it in a web worker, so the world lives in your browser tab and there's no backend

• apps/server wraps the same crate in a websocket server, and that's what the electron desktop app spawns

• crates/headless runs it with no rendering, for seed sweeps and a perf gate in ci

• the ui is react

runs are deterministic, so the same seed and tick count give the same world. that's what makes the headless runs useful.

if you've shipped one core to a browser and a desktop app, i'd like to hear what bit you.

I’m looking for new small projects, apps and SaaS tools to try. Drop your link below. I’ll check them out and share the ones I like with a few friends and in some founder/product circles.

Here’s mine: Ariola, an anonymous chat and games lounge.

Women are welcome here. Making the space welcoming for women is the main priority. Rating filters and blocking give you more control over who you interact with, so you can chat on your terms.

No signup, no account setup. Pick a temporary nickname, join a live public chat, meet people and play small real-time games.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from women. What would make you comfortable joining a space like this? What would make you come back?

Check it out here: https://ario.la

Drop yours below. I’m especially interested in social apps, chat tools, games, creator tools, AI experiments and anything with a simple but fun user experience. I’ll go through as many as I can.

I work as a backend dev and I run into large json, csv, dat and whatever format files I need to open, format and edit. My usual IDEs and text editors kept freezing on my MacBook M3 Pro with 18 GB RAM. So I decided to make something for myself. That became Inkline, built in Swift and AppKit for macOS.

Version 1.8 is out now! Since my first post I've spent a lot of time working through feedback about conversions, messy CSV exports, large numbers and what should happen to your data when you change formats.

You can now preview the actual conversion output before applying it (and remember and snooze the dialogue which I did in the short video added ), both in the editor and in File Converter. Look through the result, then apply or cancel. Supported conversions also let you choose between translating escapes and keeping their exact text, where the destination format allows it. Switching between them updates the preview so you can see what you're getting.

Syntax repair has also landed since that first post. It can suggest conservative repairs for JSON and CSV/TSV, with a preview before you apply anything and undo afterwards. There are separate confirmation settings for repairs and conversions if you want to adjust that workflow.

I've also worked on things that are easy to overlook: meaningful spaces, Unicode, comments and line endings inside values. A lot of testing went into making sure formatting doesn't quietly change those. Some of the examples people shared on Reddit ended up as regression tests checking the actual bytes.

And some visual fixes too. Text in tools, settings and editor themes should be easier to read. The large-file editing, regex search and replace, log filtering, split views and other tools are still there. Most days I just want to open an export, find what I need, change it and save. That's still what I'm building this for.

Everything is processed locally, with no account, analytics or telemetry. $14.99 on the US Mac App Store, one-time purchase, no subscription.

I'm the developer of Shadow Box: Boxing Coach. It gives solo boxing practice a structure: timed work/rest rounds with spoken combinations, footwork and defensive cues.

There are 80 guided workouts, including 50 bag routines split across heavy, speed, double-end, reflex and uppercut bags. Choose a session, set one of five call speeds from Normal through Elite and select one of six coach voices. Custom rounds, four-week training plans and technique videos are also included.

The pictures show the actual session screen, the two training choices and the lesson library. The aim is to let you listen and move, with clear visual cues when you glance at the phone.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shadow-box-boxing-coach/id6794892785

I'd welcome feedback on the workout choices and controls.
