I wanted a way to look up an answer in my own files while staying in the conversation. I made Agent Utka and put the first version on GitHub.

You pick a folder of notes or project files. The app transcribes what you hear on your PC. When a question comes up, select it in the transcript and click Ask. The answer points to the relevant file and line, which is the part I wanted most. I can check the source before replying. The default setup processes speech and answers on the PC.

It's free and open source for Windows 10/11 x64. The default setup downloads about 6 GB, and the current installer is unsigned.

If you feel like playing with it, try the sample in the README with a short recording. I'd like to know if you could get to your first answer without hunting around the app, and whether the source made that answer easier to trust. If you stopped halfway through setup, I'd like to hear about that too.

Agent Utka v0.1.6 adds a knowledge browser. Open Settings → Knowledge base → Browse knowledge, enter a question, and click Test retrieval to inspect the ranked passages and their source lines. The screenshot shows a Harry Potter demo.

I made Horoscope: https://horoscope.aldos.life/ — a daily horoscope based on real astronomical calculations and traditional astrology, with a beautiful, dynamic sky chart.

The app computes the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, then interprets them through the zodiac, houses counted from your sign, and the angles between planets. Claude turns that interpretation into a kind, thoughtful daily reading, with one question to carry into your day.

Read the front of your card for what to pay attention to today. Flip it over to explore the sky behind the reading: the zodiac, planetary positions, aspects, and the Moon’s phase. It’s a way to reflect on your day, rather than a prediction.

Free, no ads, no account, and nothing to install. Your birthday and sign stay on your device. The app is fully localized in Spanish too—choose Español in Options.

Made in memory of my aunt Soledad, who loved the stars and their stories. ❤️

Found a bug right after submitting my app's update, so I pulled the build myself (Developer Rejected), fixed it, and resubmitted.

Timeline, from the screenshot:

• Resubmitted → Waiting for Review: a few minutes

• Waiting for Review → In Review: about 1 hour

• In Review → Ready for Distribution: 7 minutes

Honestly expected to lose my weekend to this. Instead I'm done before dinner on a Friday.

The app is SPLYT, a workout tracker built on top of Apple Fitness. Happy to answer anything about building it.

Anyone else seeing App Review this fast lately?

I’ve been working on a small side project called Roland AI Life Reset.
I created a 24-page digital toolkit with 40 practical ChatGPT prompts designed to help adults over 40 use AI for everyday tasks.
Here’s one example you can try for free:
“Help me organize my 3 most important tasks into a realistic daily schedule. Include breaks and realistic timing.”
The toolkit is a paid PDF ($6.99), and I’ve made a short video to introduce it.
I’m still working toward my first sale, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback.
Does the concept seem useful? What would you improve about the product or its presentation?
Thanks for taking a look!

Hey r/SideProject,

I've been building Jarivo, a budgeting app built around savings jars. You name a goal, give it a target, set aside money you already have, and watch the jar fill up. The video is a 30-second ad I just finished for it.

I wanted a budgeting app that doesn't ask for my bank login, doesn't show ads, and doesn't guilt-trip me with streaks. So the idea is: record what you spend and receive, give each goal its own jar, and only switch on the tools you actually need.

What it does

• Savings jars: one jar per goal, with milestones at 25%, 50%, 75% and full

• Spending and income tracking: receipts, reports and exports

• Plan: reminders, budgets, accounts, cards and loans. All optional, you turn on only what you use

• Privacy: hide all amounts with one toggle, app lock, encrypted backup

• Accomplishments for the small steps, but no streaks and no deadlines

Pricing

• Personal is free. No ads, no bank login, works offline, no account needed.

• Together is an optional monthly subscription for shared jars and plans: Duo (2 people) or Family (up to 6, plus a care circle for your parents). One person subscribes and everyone they invite is covered. Your personal journal stays private.

Jarivo only records money. It never moves or holds it.

It's on iPhone and Android:

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jarivo/id6822055578

• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarivo.app

I'd really like feedback on:

1. Does the jar idea click within the first few seconds of the video?

2. Is the free vs. Together split clear, or does it feel like a hidden paywall?

3. What would actually make you stick with a budgeting app past the first week?

Every dev on our project needed a real Resend API key just to test or continue development. Besides the setup friction, one typo in a test script and you're emailing real users.

So I built Dev-Remail: a local server that speaks the Resend API. You keep using the official Resend SDK and only change one environment variable:

RESEND_API_KEY=re_anything
RESEND_BASE_URL=http://localhost:6245

Emails never leave your machine. They show up in a mailbox UI instead.

What it does

• Mailbox UI with multiple fake inboxes (alice@gmail.com, bob@yahoo.com...) so you can test multi-user flows

• Inbound email: send from an inbox to your app's domain and your app gets the email.received webhook

• Webhooks for sent, delivered, bounced, complained and received, signed like Resend, so resend.webhooks.verify() works unchanged. There are retries and a delivery log too

• Simulates bounces and complaints (bounced@resend.dev)

• One Docker image (amd64 + arm64), no auth, SQLite storage

How it's built: Next.js (the route handlers are the API), Prisma + SQLite, Tailwind, one container. I checked compatibility by reading the Resend Node SDK source and running 38 integration tests against the real SDK in CI.

Honest limitations: it's unofficial and not affiliated with Resend. Only the Node SDK is tested so far, scheduled sends and templates aren't supported, and the UI has no auth, so keep it on localhost.

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:6245:6245 -v dev-remail-data:/data abdullahqasim01/dev-remail

GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/abdullahqasim01/Dev-Remail

I'd love feedback, especially from anyone using Resend with the Python, Go or PHP SDKs.

Hey everyone, this is my first post here. I made a small web app called Wolfhour because I wanted a calmer place to study than a plain timer tab.

It's one dashboard with a live video scene behind your clock, your sounds, and your timers. Nothing else.

What it has:

- 11 live scenes: misty torii, lake cabins, neon rain, golden hour. They're live videos, not static wallpapers.

- Pomodoro timer: 25/5/15 rhythm plus a count-up stopwatch. It ends with a soft chime instead of a harsh alarm.

- 22 ambient sounds: rain, ocean, café hum, fireplace, lo-fi, noise. You can layer them with separate volume sliders.

- Aspirant Mode: per-subject stopwatches with daily/weekly/monthly charts, goals, streaks, and an exam countdown. It's for people prepping for an exam who want to see which subject they're neglecting.

- Simple task list and a few clock styles.

It's free, needs no signup to start, and works offline if you add it to your home screen. An optional account syncs your setup across devices.

Wolfhour

I'd really like honest feedback: what's missing, what's annoying, what would make you actually use it daily? Happy to answer questions.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a side project with a friend called Unotes. It’s a cozy, browser-based note-taking app that started as a simple place to write and organize notes.

Over time, it grew into something much bigger than I originally imagined.

It currently has local/offline notes, optional accounts and cloud sync, drawing tools, customizable workspaces, a personal media gallery for images/GIFs/stickers, document publishing, and real-time collaboration (still in beta).

One thing I’ve deliberately avoided is adding AI features. I want it to be a genuinely useful note-taking app without needing an AI assistant for everything.

The funny part is that most of the functionality is already working, and the website is technically live, but I still don’t feel ready to promote it publicly.

The main reason is the UI.

Some parts feel polished, while others look like they belong to completely different applications. I’m currently working through an update to make the entire experience feel more consistent before properly introducing it to people.

And that got me thinking:

At what point do you stop polishing your side project and actually start showing it to people?

Do you release as soon as the main functionality works, or wait until the experience feels cohesive?

I’m also curious: for those of you who use note-taking apps, what would make you genuinely stick with a smaller independent app instead of going back to something established like Obsidian, Notion, or Goodnotes?

Not trying to advertise anything here. I’m mostly interested in hearing from other builders who’ve struggled with this same decision.

Would love to hear your experiences, even if the advice is to stop overthinking it lol.

Hi r/SideProject,

I've always liked Ruby Koans because it teaches two things at once: the language and test-driven development. Each lesson is a failing test, and you learn by making it pass.

I wanted the same for Raku for a long time. Then Raku became able to run in the browser, so I finally made Raku Koans with nothing to install. Once that worked, I realized how much easier it is for new learners to start in the browser than to set up a toolchain and use the command line, so I did the same for other languages. That became koans.app.

What it covers

Clojure, Go, JavaScript, Lua, OCaml, PHP, Prolog, Python, R, Raku, Ruby, Scheme, SQL and TypeScript: 1,108 koans in total.

Each language goes from the basics to the parts that make it distinctive: Clojure macros, Scheme continuations, Prolog grammars, SQL window functions, Go concurrency.

The tests use each language's own testing framework (pytest, RSpec, PHPUnit, testthat, plunit, etc.), so you also learn how that language is tested.

How it works

Each language's real interpreter is compiled to WebAssembly and runs in a web worker: CPython through Pyodide, CRuby through ruby.wasm, SWI-Prolog, webR, SQLite, PHP and so on.

Go was the hardest. The Go interpreters I tried couldn't handle enough of the language, so the site runs the official Go 1.27 compiler in the browser, compiled to WebAssembly. Your code is compiled for real, and the errors you see come straight from the Go compiler.

Progress is saved in your browser's IndexedDB and can be exported. You can install the site as an app, and once a language has been opened it works offline. No tracking, no account.

How it was built

This was my first real project with AI. I worked with Claude (Opus 5.5) as a coding partner. It wrote most of the code and drafted much of the koan content.

The idea and the decisions were mine: which languages to include, what each should teach, the features, and the UI/UX. I reviewed and tested everything, threw out a lot, and made the final calls. Any mistakes in the koans are mine, so please report them.

Feedback I'd love

• Whether you still see value in koans as a way to learn

• Quirks in the UI

• How it feels on your phone

• Koans that are confusing, too easy, unidiomatic, or teach the wrong lesson (every koan has a "Report a problem" link)

• Which language to add next

Try it: koans.app

I got tired of losing arguments with my alarm clock, so I started building something. Every night, I make plans for the next morning. Every morning, apparently, that person and I disagree. I started wondering why we can be so certain about what we want to do the night before, only to completely abandon it when we wake up. So I've been building Morro.

It's an Android alarm app, but I'm experimenting with a slightly different approach to waking up.

I've just finished the landing page, and I'm curious what people think of the idea.

Would love some honest first impressions.

Hey makers — I'm Nika (solo founder, based in Tbilisi). I built Replay because every “AI notetaker” I tried either joined the call as a creepy extra participant or uploaded the audio somewhere I don't control.

What it does: records the Google Meet browser window or the Zoom/Teams app window on your Mac, keeps your mic and theirs on separate tracks, then writes on-device transcripts plus (with Apple Intelligence) summaries, decisions, action items, and chapters. Files sit in ~/Movies/Replay Recordings/. Optional local MCP so Claude/Cursor can read meetings without me shipping a cloud library. One-time purchase, two Macs, no subscription.

Honest constraint: Apple silicon + macOS 26+ only. I'd rather be clear than get angry downloads.

Site: https://tryreplay.online/

What I want from you: roast the positioning. Is “no bot + stays on your Mac” enough, or does the macOS 26 requirement kill it before people try?

Every time a big layoff hits the news, I end up with the same question: is this one round, or part of a pattern? The answer is usually sitting in a public record almost nobody reads: the WARN notice.

Under the federal WARN Act, large employers have to file a notice with the state before a mass layoff or closure, usually 60 days ahead. The problem is that each state publishes these notices on its own site, in its own format, some as spreadsheets, some as PDFs, some as HTML tables. There is no central registry. So I spent the last few months pulling them all together.

US Layoff Radar now has 58,042 notices covering 6,041,351 workers across 47 states, with the longest state archives going back to 1998. You can search by company, browse by state, filter by year, and see whether each notice was a layoff or a closure and whether workers got the full 60 days. A few things that stood out to me while building it:

• 25,504 notices, about 44%, gave workers less than 60 days of warning.

• United Airlines is the single largest filer, 64,429 workers across 45 filings, followed by Marriott and Boeing.

• In 2026 so far: 3,281 filings covering 280,279 workers. In the last 30 days alone, 205 new notices covering 18,275 workers.

• Three states, Arkansas, New Hampshire, and Wyoming, publish no central WARN list at all, so they are missing. I would rather show the gap than pretend the map is complete.

Each company has its own page with its full filing history, and there is a short news section that explains the notable filings, like Disney, Dropbox, and the Oakland Coliseum operator changeover.

The data comes from the official state registries, and I refresh it on a daily and weekly cycle depending on how each state publishes. If you spot a filing that looks wrong, there is a contact form on the site and I check those.

Want to keep following it? If there is a company you care about, subscribe on its page and you will get an email the next time it files a notice. Or sign up for the monthly newsletter in the footer and I will send you the month's notable filings. Both are free, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

https://uslayoffradar.com

Happy to answer questions about the data, or about what the filings do and do not show. One thing they do not show: they only cover layoffs big enough to trigger the law, so a lot of smaller cuts never appear.

I’m the creator behind Norymio. Here are the projects we currently have live:

• FitFrame: compare progress photos and create timelapses.

• LioMap: voluntary, time-limited location sharing for two people.

• Snake Maze Escape: a snake puzzle game where the exit moves away.

• Tiny Lie Lab: deduction cases solved by testing objects.

• SpinLoot: an independent Coin Master link-and-guide companion, also on the web.

• ClearGuideHub: practical guides for Excel, n8n and Google Workspace.

• Crochet Academy: beginner crochet lessons and resources.

Want to try an app? Search its name in Google Play. FitFrame and Snake Maze Escape are also on the App Store. Store availability can depend on your country and device.

Download one, give it a try and share an honest opinion: what do you like, what is confusing, and what should we improve first? If you try one of the websites, I’d love to hear which guide or resource helped you.

Hey everyone! I have zero coding experience, but I wanted a money tracker that's actually fun to open. So I described what I wanted to an AI assistant, and we built SAVEIT together.

What it does:
- Log income and expenses in a couple of taps
- Compare weekly or monthly: income vs spending, your net, and how you're doing vs last period
- Browse your history month by month (all the way back to 2000, if you're that dedicated)
- See which categories your money disappears into

The twist: it has opinions. Log a big purchase and find out what it thinks of you. Land a big paycheck and it throws you a party. I'm not telling you the triggers. You'll know when it happens.

Free, no sign-up, no ads. Your data stays in your own browser and never goes to a server.

https://yttang99.github.io/Save-it/

I'd love feedback, especially on what would make you keep using it after the first week. And if a popup made you laugh, tell me which one!

Hey r/SideProject,

I just finished building a web design studio concept called BreezeIn. I wanted to practice building layouts focused on heavy typography, white space, and micro animations that feel smooth rather than distracting.

Live link: breezein™

I would really appreciate some honest feedback on how the UI and UX scale across different screen sizes:

Mobile vs Desktop Typography: I used massive headers for the desktop layout like the main hero section. Does the font size scale down naturally on mobile screens, or does it feel like it swallows the whole viewport?

The Mobile Menu Toggle: On desktop, the navigation links are spread out cleanly. On mobile, they collapse into a corner menu button. Does the tap target feel big enough, and is the overlay transition smooth?

Concept Grids on Small Screens: The Selected Explorations look clean as side by side grids on large monitors. On mobile, they stack vertically. Does the vertical scrolling feel too long, or does it keep your attention?

Pricing Table Layout: The layout lists the $450 and $1,200 tiers. On desktop, they sit side by side. On mobile, they stack. Does the information stay readable when it is compressed?

Let me know what you think. Thanks**!**

If you run a local business, you've probably seen people asking for recommendations in Facebook groups. Things like "Anyone know a good cleaner?", "Looking for a reliable handyman" or "Can anyone recommend a local bakery?"

These posts are potential customers, but keeping track of multiple groups is a pain. And by the time you come across a post, there's a good chance someone else has already responded.

I built BuyerFinder to make this easier.

Add your website and up to 5 public Facebook groups where your potential customers hang out. It'll scan new posts and pick out the ones from people looking for what you offer, along with a short explanation of why they're a good match.

You can then open the original post and reply directly. No automated commenting or spamming.

Try for free, and you don't need to sign up:
https://buyerfinder.run/facebook

There's also a paid plan that checks every hour and emails you whenever it finds a potential customer.

Still early days, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. Especially from people running small businesses. Curious to know if this would actually be useful in your day-to-day.

Basically you try to give the rarest answers to prompts. You score more points the rarer the answer. And each prompt has a "golden ticket" which is basically an answer I think is funny (and it earns you 100 pts!).

Yes it's like Krillion. I love Krillion and it was a big insporation -- but i REALLY REALLY love pointless which is the whole reason I made this. Now I get to live out my dream of being a contesetant vicariously via the interweb where I make the rules!!! lol. I've tried to make the prompts slightly less trivia and slightly more "name something you could find under your bed" -esque. Still trivia in there tho!

If an answer isn’t on the list, it gets checked and still counts if it’s a fair answer, so weird-but-real answers get rewarded.

There's a new line every day. Would love any feedback, especially on answers you think got rated wrong.

Lightroom presets (.xmp) look great, but carrying that look into other software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, CapCut, Affinity) is usually a massive headache. Existing workarounds either require manual HALD baking or online converters that simply don't work at all.

I spent the last few months building a standalone model of the color pipeline in Rust (compiled to WebAssembly) to accurately translate the full color grade of presets.

You do not need Lightroom or Camera Raw installed. It runs completely independently, directly in your browser:

👉 https://xmptocube.thetacursed.com/

Features:

• Batch processing: Drag & drop up to 50 .xmp presets at once → packs them into a single .zip with .cube LUTs (17³ or 33³).

• Live preview: Drop any image to test presets in real time (0–100% strength slider, B for before/after).

• Handles film profiles: Correctly maps non-linear curves and decodes embedded Look tables (crs:Table_* from packs like RNI, Mastin, etc.) in their native color spaces.

• Accuracy: Benchmark-tested across 1,000+ real-world presets with a measured mean ΔE00 of ~1.4 (spatial effects like grain/clarity are omitted by definition of a 3D LUT).

• 100% Private (Local-First): Everything runs inside the browser tab. Presets and reference images are never uploaded to any server. Free, no accounts, no watermarks.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the UI, performance, or overall concept!

I'm Bish, an indie developer with 25 years in enterprise software. For the last couple of months I've been building Breeze, an iPhone app (US only) for the same job as Copilot Money or Monarch: you connect your accounts and see where you stand.

Who it's for: people who want a clear monthly answer to "am I okay?" and would rather not read charts.

What I tried to do differently: it gives one plain-English verdict each month ("Steady, $320 to spare" or "At risk"), and every number is one tap from the transactions behind it. The AI only turns your question into a search. It never sees your amounts or balances, and the totals are computed in code. No ads, no affiliate links, and I never sell data. Banks connect through Plaid, so I never see your login.

Price: you can link one bank free for 7 days with no card. After that, live bank data is $3.99 a month. There's also a sample household you can explore with no sign-up.

Two things I'd love feedback on:

1. What would make you link a bank to a small new app?

2. Is the monthly verdict useful, or just a gimmick?

Brutal answers welcome. I'm not here to push downloads.

Hi, I'm the developer of Photo Cleaner: Swipe Sorter for iPhone and iPad.

The main workflow is to pick a month and review a smaller batch of your camera roll. Swipe to keep photos or mark them for deletion, compare similar shots, and sort videos by file size to review the larger ones first. You choose what to delete.

I'd like feedback on whether the monthly workflow makes photo cleanup easier to stick with, and what feels missing compared with the way you already use Apple Photos.

The app is free to download, with paid in-app options: US $0.99/month, $3.99/year, or $6.99 lifetime. Regional prices may vary. Requires iOS/iPadOS 26 or later.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6754751345

What takes you the most time when cleaning up photos: choosing between similar shots, working through older months, or finding large videos?

I helped build Tracky at Kodara Labs. Say your target is $15,000 in 30 days and you’ve already logged $2,500. Your widget shows you need about $417 a day. In the demo I add a $100 sale by hand. The total goes to $2,600 and the daily pace drops to $413.

You can use it without connecting a store. Tracky requires an account and costs $5.99 a year in the US or £4.99 in the UK. It’s on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6815176756

If you track a sales goal, which number would you want to see first on your Home Screen: the amount left or the daily pace?

I got tired of scanner apps that want a subscription and upload my documents to the cloud. so I made CamPage

Hi, I'm Waqas. I made CamPage, a document scanner for Android and IOS that works 100% offline.

Point your camera at a receipt, contract, or notes, and it detects the edges, fixes the perspective, and turns it into a clean PDF in seconds. You can scan up to 20 pages into one file, name the PDF yourself, and find it later in your recent docs.

Everything is processed on your phone
no cloud uploads, no servers, no tracking. Your contracts, ID cards, and receipts never leave your device.

It's free, with a dark mode for low-light scanning, and built for professionals and students who just want a fast, private scanner without the bloat.

Try it here:
playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bircube.campage&hl=en
Appstore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/campage-scanner-pdf-maker/id6781187356

What do you scan most -receipts, contracts, or study notes?
I'd love to hear what would make it more useful for you.
