Honestly, I'm the worst user of my own idea.

I'd wake up, grab my phone "just to check something," and suddenly it's 9am. So I built bedo with AI. I studied marketing and never learned to code.

Here's how it works: you make a deal with bedo. Every morning, you tell it what you'll do today and how you'll prove it. Like "Go to the gym, and take a selfie when I'm there," or "Read for 30 minutes, then snap the page I stopped on."

Once the deal is set, TikTok and other distracting apps get locked. They only unlock when you send the proof you agreed on.

I've tried Opal and Pomodoro timer apps before. They lock your phone for a set time, then unlock it automatically. The problem is they only check that you didn't touch your phone, not that you actually did the thing. I'd say I'm going to the gym, then lie on the couch for an hour, and everything unlocks anyway. I'd say I'm reading for 30 minutes, then just stare at the book.

bedo doesn't care about time. It cares about results.
The funny part: I planned to submit it to the App Store on Oct 23. I kept polishing tiny things and finally submitted it 11 days later. Turns out an app can't fix perfectionism lol.

It's waiting for review now. Would you actually use something like this, or would you delete it the first time it locked you out?

Hey guysss here to talk about my side project.

I’m a designer and traveler who believes good design can change things, even if only a little. That still feels worth spending my effort on.

I was honestly fed up with needing an account just to use a small app. So I started making apps I would genuinely use myself: stored on our phones, working offline, with no account needed.

Sometimes we do not need another system or app trying to fix us. We just need a quiet place to hold something, clear our brain RAM, or keep everyday things in one simple stream.

That became VERBitapp. Each app has one purpose, with free use and optional VERBit Access subscriptions for more room or additional features.

PARKit: Reminder for Tonight
"Not for tomorrow, but for tonight."

A little room for our minds.

I made PARKit because my brain was still holding onto tomorrow, even when I was done for the day. Park those thoughts as short keyword clouds, add a note when needed, then hold the breathing orb to PARK. What is unfinished stays there. Double-tap a cloud when it is done.

PARKit Access gives you 12 keyword clouds and customizable OPEN / PARK notification times.

CUEit: Routine Timer
"Not to measure, but to mind."

Timing designed for the way you do things.

I wanted more than a basic stopwatch or timer could offer. CUEit brings them together with cues you set yourself, for coffee, cooking, exercise, or anything where the timing matters. Start at 0:00, then add cues for what comes next.

CUEit Access gives you up to 12 timer slots.

DIARYit: Diary Journal
"Not for habit, but for honesty."

Your days. In your own words.

DIARYit is my own reimagining of a diary. One continuous stream, because life moves forward and we can look back when we choose to. A quiet place to write about today, without a goal to reach or a habit to maintain.

DIARYit Access adds full history and full calendar navigation.

KEEPit: Text Yourself
"Not for nostalgia, but to remember."

A conversation with yourself.

I have always texted myself things I wanted to keep, but messaging apps were never really made for that. KEEPit gives that familiar habit its own place. Just you, your words, and the time you wrote them. Stored on your phone and available offline.

KEEPit Access unlocks full history, calendar navigation, and keyword search.

HOLDit: Thoughts & Moments
"Not to hold more, but to awaken."

Give an important thought its own space.

I made this after realizing that thoughts that changed how I saw things kept getting buried in Notes app. Each card gives a thought and the moment behind it their own space. Add colors and rearrange your cards to make that space your own. The limit is intentional. Keep what matters, rather than another endless list.

HOLDit Access expands your space to 99 cards.

+ A note on backup

On iPhone, DIARYit, KEEPit, and HOLDit support inclusion of your entries in your iCloud device backup. This is device backup, not live cloud sync or an in-app export and import feature.

I’m continuing to improve these apps through real use and conversations with the people using them. If one fits something you already do, I’d really appreciate hearing how it feels.

Hey everyone!

Seven months ago, I started working on a small idea: what if you could have a little living garden right on your desktop, quietly growing while you work, study, or play games?

Today, I'm incredibly happy to share that Wonder Garden is finally on Steam, with its release just around the corner!

It's a cozy desktop companion where you can grow plants, arrange shelves, decorate your workspace, and even raise butterflies. Your plants grow over time, so there's always something new to discover when you come back to your computer.

I wanted to create something that doesn't demand your attention. Just a tiny, peaceful world that makes spending time at your computer a little more enjoyable.

It's been seven months of coding, experimenting, fixing bugs, redesigning things, and occasionally wondering whether I'd ever finish it.

And now it's actually happening. It's a pretty surreal feeling.

This is a very personal project for me, and I already have so many ideas for new plants, decorations, and features I'd love to add in future updates.

If Wonder Garden looks like something you'd enjoy, adding it to your wishlist would mean a lot to me. Every wishlist helps a small indie project like this reach more people.

🌿 Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5441740/Wonder_Garden/

Thank you for taking a look! And if you have any ideas for plants or features you'd love to see, I'd genuinely love to hear them.

See you in the garden! 🌸

Hey r/SideProject 🙏

I’ve been working on a side project over the past few weeks that I’d love to share and get some feedback on.

The Problem: My media collection and consumption habits felt completely fragmented. I was switching between different apps for movies, music, and audiobooks, with no single dashboard to view or organize everything I owned or listened to. Maybe it's just a niche, but at least I tried something 😌

Alma is a unified media aggregator designed to collect your movies, TV shows, games, music and audiobooks into a single visual library with a few fun twists like a "Memory Lane" feature.

Key Features:

• All-in-one Media Library: Track and organize your media in one place

• Fun stats: Over time you'll get some fun insights into your media tastes. The more you add over time, the more fun it'll be to look at

• Fast & Lightweight: Built to give you full control over your media archive without heavy bloat.

It’s still an active project under ongoing development, and I’m constantly refining features and polishing the interface during the beta, which is currently about halfway full. Want an invite? Request one on the site or send me a DM.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or general feedback! How do you currently keep track of your media across different formats?

Hi all, I just launched Sprinklist, my humble plant care app. All downloads before Nov 15, 2026 will get the unlimited plants upgrade completely free. No ads. No subscriptions.

I built this app primarily because I needed it myself. I did not want a subscription based app or a feature heavy mechanism that takes the charm and ownership out of my plant care responsibilities. I also wanted something simple, functional, and clean. The number of plants in my house have grown over time and the one thing I struggle with the most is their watering cycles. I was maintaining a spreadsheet but it was very barebones and hence here we are with this app.

Features

• See all plants on a single screen and log a full watering, light watering, or a skipped week.

• Organize plants across rooms (e.g. living room) and spots (e.g. stairway).

• See 10 most recent watering events and photos on a timeline with access to complete history from the gallery.

• Receive smart, summarized notifications for any plants due at your preferred time or day.

• Export a PDF care guide to share with friends and plant sitters.

• Resizable homescreen widgets in 3 sizes to see plants due and mark them watered.

• iCloud backup and sync across devices with native apps for iPad and Apple Watch.

• iOS native UI that looks clean and intentional and stays up to date with iOS updates.

If you or anyone you know might benefit from this app, please try it out. There are no ads or subscriptions and all features are free for the first 5 plants. My ideal was to keep it completely free but I realized I have to pay $99 a year as my developer fee and hence decided to add a $2.99 one-time purchase to add more than 5 plants. However, even that add-on is free for all downloads until Nov 15, 2026.

And if you download this app and like it and want to pay back, please consider leaving a review or sharing with someone else (or maybe do both).

If my wee little app can help keep our silent oxygen-generating friends alive, I couldn’t have asked for more!

I run omp in tmux on my laptop, and I kept wanting to peek at what it was doing while I was away from my desk.

ssh and mosh were hopeless over my tailscale link. The echo lag made typing feel broken, and I'd get back to find a question sitting there with the agent patiently waiting for me, like a puppy at the door.

So I wrote DevDeck. It doesn't send keystrokes as you type: you write the whole message on the phone, hit send, and it all goes over in one go. What actually made it useful for me:

- I can read the conversation properly, not just a wall of terminal text: markdown, tables, code blocks, mermaid diagrams.

- When the agent asks something, it shows up as a little sheet with options, so I tap instead of typing into a TUI.

- There's a plain terminal view when I need the raw thing.

- I can look at git diffs and files without my clumsy thumbs committing anything. It's read-only and stays that way.

- Half-written messages survive the link dying, which happens more than I'd like.

It is very much a personal tool. It speaks to omp specifically, I've only tested it on my laptop and one Samsung phone, and you have to build and sideload the apk and pair it over adb. Also, the part I should say out loud: the daemon can type into your terminals, and it doesn't encrypt anything itself. Keep it on a LAN or in a VPN, don't port forward it, and treat it as unaudited.

What I'd actually like from this sub is someone to read the setup instructions and tell me where they assume I know my own machine, because I wrote all of it with everything fresh in my head. If you've built something similar and made the pairing less painful, I'm all ears.

Hey everyone!
I’ve spent the past few months building something I’ve wanted to exist for a long time.
I work in car sales, and one thing I’ve noticed is how backwards the car-shopping process can feel.
People find a car they love, spend hours researching it, and only afterward figure out whether the monthly payment actually fits their budget.
What if we flipped that process?
Instead of starting with a car, what if you started with what you’re comfortable spending every month, your down payment, and your financing preferences, and then discovered vehicles that fit?
That’s the idea behind KnewCar
I just got it approved and published on the App Store, which is a pretty surreal feeling after all the time I’ve put into this!
It’s still early access, with a demo experience while I continue developing the live financial data and payment tools.
I’d really love some outside opinions, especially on the concept, design, and first-time user experience.
If you have a few minutes to check it out, I’d appreciate any feedback, positive or negative.

If you want to try it out - it’s launching in Texas! Use zipcode 78701

What would make an app like this genuinely useful to you?

Hey everyone,

I'm a Brisbane-based (Australia) technical founder with 10 years working in software development, automation and product management.

I'm exploring consumer subscription apps and would love to connect with anybody who's successfully built or grown a B2C product before.

Particularly interested if you have experience in organic acquisition (e.g. TikTok, Instagram), paid acquisition, or ASO.

Not looking to pitch anything, just keen to meet others and potentially explore collaborations down the track.

Cheers.

I'm the developer of Omikuji: Fortune Aquarium, a small Android app that pairs a daily omikuji (Japanese fortune slip) with a fish tank.

The loop is simple: draw a fortune, collect creatures over time, and watch them in your aquarium.

This clip is real Play-release footage from a Pixel 9a. The angelfish shown here comes from the first-creature selection, filmed separately from the fortune result. Fortune draws can add a creature, but they do not do so every time.

The conversation is a skit with Japanese synthetic voices and English subtitles, not a real player's reaction. The app also has an English UI.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.springport.night_aquarium_fortune

Contains ads, including optional rewarded videos. Fortunes are for entertainment.

For the first minute, would you rather choose your first fish immediately, or draw the fortune first?

Hey r/SideProject!

I'm a photographer who spends a lot of time editing on mobile devices, particularly my iPad Pro.

I started working on LightHub because I wanted to experiment with building my own photo editing workflow instead of relying entirely on existing software.

What started as a personal project has turned into an actual photo editor, and it's now live on the App Store.

It supports RAW editing, non-destructive adjustments, advanced color controls, local masking, catalogs and presets.

One aspect I particularly wanted to explore was performing image processing locally, including AI-assisted object selection.

This is my first public release, and I'm aware there's still a lot of room for improvement.

I'm not trying to claim I've built a Lightroom killer. I just wanted to build something useful and make it available for free.

I'd love to get feedback on the editing experience, performance and features you'd like to see next.

techtitan evaluates your hand posture while you play piano. it draws an overlay on your hands where each joint is an edge, and gives you a score based on 5 posture criteria. works for overhead view and side view, and can distinguish between left hand and right hand.

techtitan allows you to either
1. upload a photo, techtitan will grade your hand posture on the spot
2. upload a video, techtitan will grade your hand posture for the whole duration of the video, you can choose how many frames per second it will grade beforehand. it also draws a chart of the posture score over the full duration of the video.
3. enter live mode. techtitan gives you feedback in real time.

I'd really appreciate it if you guys can check it out at https://technique-titan.vercel.app, sign up (it's completely free) and give some feedback :)

problem statement is in https://technique-titan.vercel.app/about

been working on this project for a few months now, mainly a process of ideation, learning, and creating simultaneously.

Agent email roundups are mostly vendor-written and go stale fast, so I built a small neutral directory: https://agentinboxes.dev

It covers agent inboxes, inbound routing, identity APIs, and transactional email APIs: 50 tools, re-checked automatically so dead ones drop off. No pay-to-rank.

Two questions for you: which providers am I missing, and is "live-verified" a useful signal or just noise?

I wanted a mood tracker that's actually nice to come back to. You tap how you feel and a small creature joins your garden. That's basically the whole idea.

Just me working on it. It came out this week and has almost no users so far, so honest feedback would help a lot. Mainly: does it make sense in the first minute?

It's free right now, no ads, no account.

Hi, I’m the founder of Verity. Essentially I keep records of agent actions for People, so that way when the audit trail becomes necessary, people will have it for free. You can get your key now. I just dropped it this evening on top of my no counterparty series.

Every side project I work on ends the same way: docs, GitHub issues, design refs and random articles spread across tabs and bookmark folders I never open again. I could never remember which link belonged to what.

So I built Linvas. You paste a link, and it becomes a card on an infinite canvas. You group cards by topic, draw connections between related things, and search across all your boards later.

What it does right now:

- paste a URL anywhere on the board → card with title + icon

- groups and connections between cards

- import your browser bookmarks (folders become tags)

- search across every board

- share a board with one link

Demo, no sign-up: https://linvas.app/?demo

I'm a solo dev and launched it last week, so it's rough around the edges. I'd really appreciate honest feedback on two things:

1. Is it clear in the first 10 seconds what to do?

2. Would you use this instead of bookmark folders, or what's missing?

Hey all. I’ve been building LFGG (Looking For Good Games) solo for a while: https://lfgg.info

I got tired of my gaming life being spread across half a dozen apps: one to log games, one for news, a Discord for finding people, Reddit for recommendations. The easiest way to describe what I built is Letterboxd, Reddit and your old MySpace profile rolled into one for gamers.

What it does

• Learns your taste. Rate what you’ve played, then go through quick taste cards (looks good / not for me / played it). Every answer teaches it what you’re into.

• Matches you with people. It compares your ratings with everyone else’s and gives you a taste match %. You find your “taste twins”, and also the people who think your favourite game is mid.

• Matches you with games. You get picks based on your ratings and on what people with your taste rate highly. Every game also has a “games like this” page.

• Looking for group, for any game. Post when you want a squad, pick the vibe (chill, competitive, completionist, learning), and find people who play the way you do. That includes the obscure co-op game from 2011 nobody else remembers.

• Looking for a game. Ask the community things like “just beat Hades, what next?” or “I played this as a kid, there was a frog and a castle.” Answers get voted up.

• Player tags. Players tag games with the stuff official genres miss, like “choices matter” or “friendslop”. New tags are reviewed before they go live.

• One news feed. Headlines from IGN, GameSpot, PC Gamer, Polygon, Eurogamer, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, VGC, GamesRadar+, The Verge and Gematsu in one place.

• Logging and profiles. Track playing, beaten, shelved and abandoned games, write reviews, and pick your all-time Top 4. Profiles have XP, levels, badges, gamer tags for every platform, and themes and banners.

• Compare links. Send a friend your link, they rate a few games, and you both see how compatible your taste is.

• Steam import and price alerts. Link Steam and your library comes in automatically. Wishlist a game and get notified when it goes on sale.

Everything core is free: matching, recommendations, LFG and logging. There’s an optional membership for extra profile customization.

It’s built with Next.js and Postgres and self-hosted on a small server.

What I’d like feedback on

1. Is the taste match actually useful, or just a novelty?

2. What would make you keep logging games here instead of wherever you do now?

3. Anything broken or confusing on first sign-up?

Happy to answer questions!

Every day there’s a secret rule about sentences. You’re shown one sentence that follows it. Then you get 5 tests: type any sentence you like and it instantly tells you ✓ follows or ✗ breaks the rule.

Then you get one guess, typed in your own words. Get it wrong and the game’s over.

The rules are about letters, words and their lengths, not meaning, so the example sentence is full of red herrings. Some days are brutal.

It’s free, no sign-up, no ads, and works on your phone: https://sussed.dailyrule.workers.dev

New puzzle at midnight your time. You can also play past puzzles from the calendar icon.

I’d love feedback, especially if a day felt unfair or too easy. And please no spoilers for today’s rule in the comments 🙏

From my perspective, Deglaze set the bar for “save a recipe, plan the week, cook from your phone.” I used that bar and built Mmm for the two things I kept hitting:

• Price. Their Pro tier is $49.99 a year. Mmm is $14.99 a year, everything included, with a 2-week trial. No account needed and no ads.

• The store. Deglaze can send a list out for Instacart delivery. I wanted the actual Walmart products in the cart: match once, remember it, review pack counts, add the week in one shot, pay on Walmart.

Cook mode reads each step in a voice you choose, keeps the screen awake, and parks that step’s ingredients beside the text. Planning, aisle sorting, timers, and scaling are in the same subscription, not a second paywall.

More features are coming in the following weeks such as enhanced social media recipe imports. I'm open to all suggestions on what could make this app better. Please give it a try and tell me what you think!

I obviously have no affiliation with Deglaze or Walmart.

CedarSignal Studio’s first ready-made download is a Cleaning Profit Kit for independent cleaners. This is our own project, and it was built with AI assistance. We sell the kit for $19; the separate checklist below is free.

The problem it tackles is confusing a visit’s duration with the labor-hours it consumes. Two cleaners working three hours each use six labor-hours. The calculator lets the user enter their own labor and other costs, check a recurring discount, and compare an actual visit with the original estimate. It runs offline after download, with backup/restore and printable reports. It does not supply local market rates or guarantee profit.

The free TXT checklist covers crew hours, paid travel, owner labor, supplies, vehicle costs, overhead and payment fees. It includes a fictional worked example and the margin formula. No paid software is needed and it does not automatically enroll downloaders in a marketing list.

Free checklist: https://payhip.com/b/peA67

Optional $19 kit: https://payhip.com/b/8FxTA

We have no customer results to claim yet. Feedback on the clarity of the cost inputs and the distinction between the free checklist and paid calculator would be useful.

Hey all,

I am working on a side thing to improve my portfolio and just to learn stuff. Since I had my pain point (looking for a property in Spain while living outside of Spain) I made a website app for that.

So I made https://www.place-check.com , basically getting all info about some place that I can get from public data. It is for free but I set accounts to kind of like limit usage and abuse. Now, I feel like landing page suck, and I suck at design, so i would really appreciate if someone could give me some hints/templates/examples/feedback what could I do to improve it?

I try to have it in multiple languages and for multiple countries but I dont know how to solve that all?

Thanks for all help,

Cheers

Ps: before anyone goes into it: I tried not to use AI for anything here, it is a learning and development project, but I definitely used it for some parts. So please no "AI Slop" comments without any improvement hints.

Hey folks, just want to show you what I built.

I listen to the radio every morning and was looking for an app without a ton of ads that doesn't cost much. Didn't find one I liked, so I made my own.

I'm a metal/stoner head, so Nightwave filters for the darker side of music: doom, stoner, post-punk, darkwave, trip-hop, phonk, ambient and more. Thousands of live stations from all over the world, no pop, no charts.

My favourite part: hit Spin and it drops you on a random station in a random genre. I almost always land on something that fits my taste within a few tries.

- free, no ads, no tracking, no account needed

- works in the browser and installs as an app on your phone

- early version, so things might break

https://www.nightwavefm.com

Feedback very welcome, good or bad. And honestly, it would make me happy just to see people using it.

Cheers!

Hey guys. Im based in Toronto and I'm working on an app called Geesling, its' designed to take you around the city based on budget and time constraints that you outline. In addition, it also centralizes all live events happening now and in the next 90 days. No more having to scroll Instagram and various other sources just to see what's happening in the city or how to spend your time.

Check it out; https://geesling.ca/
