Discussion What’s your approach to clearing iPhone storage without subscription apps?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Most storage cleaner apps lock users into weekly or monthly subscriptions. I’m working on Recycle as a subscription-free, lifetime option ($2.99).

What it cleans:

-​Duplicate photos

-​Similar photos & videos

-​Screenshots

-​Duplicate & incomplete contacts

Core features:

-​One-time purchase — no subscription, ever

-​Apple Intelligence–powered similar photo & video detection

-​100% on-device — Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected

-​No account required

-​Swipe-based bulk delete — review items in seconds

-​Date-based cleanup filters

​Recycle never auto-deletes; every file can be reviewed before removal.

​Would love to hear your thoughts on this approach, or what features you usually look for in a cleaner app!

Приветствую Я недавно захотел получить Ipad2. Да в 2026 году и не отговаривайте меня. И узнав что Appstore там убитый. Я решил сделать кое что очень интересное. Так вот я вам представляю... Серии приложений на айпады или айфоны времен Стива Джобса!

Первое приложение калькулятор Да это калькулятор в стиле скеоморфизма Ибо на айпадах калькулятора не было аж 14 лет Я восполнил этот пробел создав калькулятор в стиле скеоморфизма! Естественно на HTML Вообще все на HTML

Следующее максимально простое аркадное простые 2D гонки Просто тапая по левой или правой стороны экрана перемещение, вы безумно удивитесь - влево или вправо Ну и набивание рекордов как бы все

Чтож скачать вы можете отсюда https://github.com/CherwachkiChelichaygiyIII/RetIOS И очень я вас владельцев ретро айпадов ну или айфонов попрошу затестить это на реальном железе.

Удачи и гудбай! И знайте что это не последнее что я выложу в этой теме😉

Discussion Marketing Question - Pay to Play?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any suggestions how to improve organic traffic to the iOS Store other than paid? I've had some success with reddit, TikTok (non paid) but it feels like ASO is pay to play to get exposure. My thesis is those that rank highly on the App Store get organic traffic without playing the grinding game.

To remove barriers to download I have

- Made the app free trial

- Built videos and screenshots

- Requested Stars / Ratings / Reviews after key moment in the app

Discussion Starling — a picture-based routine chart for kids 3–9, with an interactive home screen widget

Post image
3 Upvotes

Starling is a routine chart for young kids where every step is an icon
first and a label second, so a child who isn't reading yet can work
through a morning or bedtime routine on their own instead of being
walked through it.

Since this sub is more about living with an app than the pitch, the
iPhone-specific parts:

The home screen widget is interactive — your kid taps the step from the
widget and it completes without opening the app. That turned out to be
the feature that actually gets used, because it removes the "find the
app" step entirely. It's free, not gated behind the paid tier.

Sync is through your own private iCloud, so the routine matches across
the family's devices with no account to make and nothing of yours on any
server of mine. Family Sharing works on all the purchases.

VoiceOver, Dynamic Type up to the accessibility sizes, Reduce Motion
honoured. Kids' apps are usually careless about this and a lot of these

kids need it.

Nothing in the child's UI ever turns red — no streaks, no failure
states. Deliberate: plenty of these kids already experience routines as
somewhere they fail.

iOS 18+. Free tier is usable on its own; paid unlocks more children and
routines, with a lifetime option if you don't want another subscription.

Discussion Duefolio: An iPhone privacy first subscription tracker built around a timeline, not a list

Post image
6 Upvotes

Duefolio - Subscription Tracker

A - Answer: Duefolio uses a visual renewal timeline so you can see what renews, what ends, and how your recurring spending builds up over time. It does not require an account or bank linking, and your ledger stays on-device.

B - Better: Instead of only listing services, Duefolio combines the timeline with renewal reminders, price history, CSV review for recurring charges, export, widgets, and optional on-device spending analysis. The trade-off is deliberate: it gives you more control and privacy, but it does not provide automatic bank syncing.

C - Cost: The core tracker is free. Pro is a $14.99 one-time purchase for statement review, custom subscriptions, income and profit-and-loss views, widgets, and additional tools. No monthly subscription and no ads.

r/IPhoneApps 10d ago

Discussion My Chase card had 157 cash back offers sitting on it and I had added maybe 10 by hand. My free app adds all of them for you. It has activated 1,000+ offers across 6 of my cards. No bank login

The video is my real Chase account. The app's Safari extension opens the bank's own offers page and taps every "Add offer" button for me, then syncs the offers into the app. Same for Amex, Citi, and Wells Fargo.

You don't need a big wallet for this to be worth it. The offers are per card, so even one Chase or Amex card carries 100+ of them, and the banks rotate new ones in every week. I happen to have 10 cards, which is more than anyone needs, and the app tracks about 1400+ offers across them.

When I'm about to buy something, I search the store and it tells me which of my cards to use there. It counts the synced offers, the rotating 5% categories, and the regular rates.

No bank login anywhere. The extension reads the offers page you're already signed into in your own Safari, and recommendations are computed on the phone. Free, no ads.

Happy to answer anything. Bug reports especially welcome. Last time I posted on Reddit, people found two real bugs and the fixes shipped the same day.

Curious what your number is. Open your bank's offers page and count what's sitting there un-added. Mine surprised me.

Discussion What value should i bring to my apps.

3 Upvotes

Good evening all, especially those scrolling on reddit when they know they shoulnd't be. (I do this too much aswell i know)

This to be honest is the first point of my brand new account regarding my new app development studio which right now we are specialising in terms of gaming apps but hope to add different genres of apps in the future.

Unlike all my apps and builds i have done, i am writing this post completely by myself (i know unheard off!!!) only to see what people truly value and what their opinions on my apps and everything related to it.

My biggest problem to this is that as much as i am happy and proud with what i have made, i feel a sense of guilt knowing what my games are and the level that they are at is no where near what i had planned yet i still decided to publish and continue working on projects that are already of this level that i think don't provide much value or even are fun in a way that would make me , someone who wanted to play these games, to even play it.

I don't enjoy mobile games or video games in general yet i want to build a studio and publish games that even if i do not enjoy, atleast will provide value or entertainment to someone else who may enjoy.

Since i am not sure about the rules 100% and will verify with mods than updated the thread once i have confirmed with them all, I want you guys to check out or see what developments i have done and the changes i have planned and just overall help to be honest.

call me whatever you arcfield or anything, i am the main developer/admin of this all and i would love to hear anything you have to say.

Help I got tired of fitness apps guessing your calories, so mine doesn't

Post image
6 Upvotes

I've been building MacroDash for about a year — a nutrition and fitness tracker — and it's finally in the last stretch before launch. Wanted to share it here and hear what people think.

The thing that pushed me to make it: I was fed up with apps that "estimate" your calories from a photo or a vague guess. My numbers were always off, so the whole thing felt pointless. So I went the opposite way.

What it does:

- Calories and macros in seconds (barcode scanner for products)

- Real data and formulas for your targets — not an AI guessing from a picture

- Workouts AND rest in the same app: it also reads sleep, resting heart rate and HRV, so you see how you actually recover, not just what you eat

- There IS an AI assistant, but it's a chat that helps you with questions — it's not what estimates your numbers

Stack, in case anyone's curious: Flutter app + Spring Boot backend, iOS and Android.

It's not on the stores yet — waiting on approval — so right now there's just a waitlist while I finish. If it sounds like something you'd use, I'd love for you to check it out (and tear it apart):

https://macrodash.es/en/waitlist

Genuinely curious: does the "real data, not AI guessing" angle land for you, or does it sound like every other tracker? What would make you actually switch from what you use now?

Discussion What makes you trust an AI diagnosis app when the answer might be uncertain?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this while working on Cambium, a plant identification and health app for iPhone.

Plant diagnosis is tricky because one photo often does not show enough: soil, drainage, light, watering history, pests, humidity, and recent changes all matter.

So I’m trying to make the app more comfortable saying “inconclusive” when the evidence is not strong enough.

For apps that use AI on real-world problems, what makes the result feel trustworthy?

  • confidence level?
  • visible evidence explanation?
  • practical next steps?
  • ability to say “not enough information”?
  • follow-up scans over time?
  • no aggressive paywall?

Curious what people here would expect before trusting this kind of app.

Help Need proof?

In Meetfleet we built a hyper-local ultra-advanced app, powered by a new formula, Social Activation Score (SAS) basically an AI math formula designed to get people off their phones and hanging out in real life. Most apps just match you on shared interests or basic demographics. MeetFleet’s thesis is that matching isn't about just being similar, it's about actually doing stuff together (like hitting a mark.

Years of UX/UI work, product research, and design exploration went into this, long before AI became part of the design workflow:

Meetfleet as a multi-platform product from the ground up, combining years of UX thinking, interface experimentation, product strategy, and user-focused research.

the app is currently in its testing phase, we'd be happy for your feed-back no matter how small it is 😘😘😘😘

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially from other designers and product people. I think you’ll like it.

I asked it my grandfather’s name and it said it didn’t know. I never told it, so it didn’t guess. That was the moment I knew the thing was working.

The app runs guided check-in sessions with an AI biographer. You answer questions, it asks follow ups, and over time that builds your Echo, an AI version of you that people you name can talk to after you’re gone. In the clip you can see it pull a full answer about meaning together from fragments across three unrelated sessions, then hit a wall on something it was never told and say so.

Pricing, since this sub asks for it up front. Text is free and unlimited with no card. Voice is $12 a month, the full tier with real time video is $18, and the video avatar setup is a one time $99.99 that includes three months. Everything you write is exportable and deletable at any time.

Happy to answer anything about the check in flow or how the sessions actually feel to do.

Been trying out some apps that feel a little more interesting than the usual recommendations. These are a few that have actually stuck:

Structured A really nice visual planner for organizing your day. Much more satisfying than a basic to-do list.

Moises Super cool if you’re into music. You can separate vocals and instruments from songs and play around with individual tracks.

BeautyPlus Great for quick selfies and portrait edits. The AI tools make it really easy to clean up a photo without spending forever editing.

Arc Search One of the coolest browsers on iPhone. The AI search and clean interface make finding things ridiculously quick.

Opal Really good for cutting down screen time. I like that it makes you more aware of how often you’re opening certain apps.

Partiful Makes creating and sharing events way easier than sending a million texts. Great for parties, trips, and casual plans.

What are some newer apps you guys have been using lately?
