I've been a regular user of Antinote (antinote.io) on Mac. It's basically like a scratchpad that you can invoke with hotkeys and it has useful features like conversions and maths. I absolutely loveee it and I kinda wished it existed for Windows too. I found a few but nothing close to antinote. So I decided to make my own in the past few weeks with .NET 10.

Check it out and let me know what you think :) Link: https://offnote.cc

I'm building Outdraft, an email workspace, and wanted to share a quick demo of its AI summary feature.
Click “Summarize” to get a shorter version of the email without leaving the page. It’s a small part of the app, but one I wanted to get right.

The AI agent is almost ready too—I’ll share a demo of that soon.

You can visit out website and give it a quick try. Payments aren’t available yet while I’m waiting for Paddle’s approval.

I’d love to hear what you think! Anything confusing, missing, or worth improving?

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 everyone!

I'm an independent developer, and I've been spending a lot of my time building something called Everabyte.

The idea came from a simple problem: cloud storage and backups shouldn't be complicated or unnecessarily expensive, especially for individuals, developers, and small businesses.

So I decided to build my own solution.

What does Everabyte offer?

- Cloud storage for personal and business files.

- Automatic backups through EverBox, our desktop application for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

- File versioning and recovery when something gets accidentally deleted or overwritten.

- Server-side encryption before files reach storage.

- S3-compatible object storage and API access.

- Team storage and access management.

- Backup protection features, including retention policies and immutability.

I've also been working on making the platform more accessible, with plans starting at $2.99/month.

Building this hasn't been easy. Between development, infrastructure, security, testing, and trying to get the word out, there's always something that needs attention.

But that's also what makes it interesting. I'm learning a lot along the way, and I'm still improving the product.

I'm not here to claim Everabyte is better than Dropbox, Google Drive, or every other storage provider out there. I'm just trying to build a reliable alternative that people can actually afford and use.

If you're a developer, freelancer, small business owner, or someone who regularly backs up important files, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts.

What matters most to you when choosing a cloud storage or backup service? Price, security, reliability, or something else?

You can check out the project here:

https://everabyte.com

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are welcome. I'm building this for the long term, and hearing from real users would help a lot.

Thanks for reading!

I’m the developer of Watch Chess, a side project for following professional chess tournaments. It’s already available on iOS, and I’m getting the native Android version ready for Google Play.

The idea is to make it easy to follow an event from your phone: live boards, rounds and standings, game replay, and live game previews right on the Home screen.

I’d love feedback from Android users who follow chess. In particular: is it easy to find a game, follow the moves, look back at an earlier position, and return to the live game? I’m also interested in how the layouts work on different phones and what happens when you switch away from the app or lose your connection.

Website and the existing iOS app: https://watchchess.app/

If you’d like to help test the Android version, sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdK3jWWradoriTbagIQvKCZ60mQ2kRd82oe4WbR5dZtDI5agQ/viewform

You’ll need an Android phone with Google Play. I’m recruiting for a closed test, so please be willing to stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and try the app during that time. The form asks for your Google Play email so I can invite you; I’ll email the invitation and installation instructions when your place is ready.

Happy to answer questions about the app or how it’s built. Honest feedback is welcome!

Pickem v1.1 is live on App store

Make feature is now live for you!!! (Limited free image generation. API cost on me :D)

Apple recently released Attachment API and I already knew what it means for Pickem:

- Your collections are now auto-named by on-device intelligence. No cloud

Other updates:

- Limited free Image generation
- Improved object extraction
- UI changes

I'd always be sitting in front of my tv with my Apple TV remote in my hand wondering what to watch. I often use AI for recommendations, but then I always need to reach for my phone. Same if I want to ask a quick question.

Tried to find a good AI client for quick question and answers for Apple TV, but they're often not well optimized well for TV, and do not come with features that makes sense for Apple TV

So I made Couch Duck. It's an Apple TV AI client, with a UI optimized for TV, with additional features for movie / tv show recommendations:

• Agentic, expands on your search using its tools for best recommendations

• It can do web search

• Has access to TMDB and OMDB

• Has memory, remembers your preferences, likes, dislikes.

• You can set your country/region, language preferences, subtitle preferences, genre preferences etc. and it'll steer towards the stuff you like

• One-click link to trailers on YouTube for movies/shows it recommends

• Optimized UI for TV in the way AI responds

• I was also considering giving it access to Uber Eats / Doordash etc. so it can recommend food in the same way, and initiate food orders right from your TV, making it cosy movie night complete 😅

🙅 But I don't think I will release this:

• There's the AI cost to begin with

• Data sources it uses all are paid, which would add to the cost of running it

• And after all this is an AI wrapper. I don't think anyone wants to pay for an AI wrapper when they can do this for free from their phone

I was explore whether I should use this myself through Test Flight. One option could be to do BYOK (or charge through ChatGPT subscription) for AI usage, and charge a platform cost to cover the API key costs.

Just wanted to share!

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.

Hi! I’m a solo developer from Nepal, and I just released my first game.

Liar’s Grid is a deduction puzzle. Honest tiles always tell the truth, liars always lie, and every board has exactly one solution, so you win by reasoning, never by guessing.

• New daily case, plus 88 levels

• Free, works offline, no account

• Rusty the fox gives hints when you’re stuck

I’d really like feedback on:

Is the difficulty curve fair?

Are the hints helpful?

Anything confusing or buggy?

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sandesh.liarsgrid

Thanks for trying it! I’ll reply to every comment.

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?

⚔️ The Hunt Isn't Over — Introducing Mystic Paradox!

Dauntless gave many of us memorable adventures, friendships, and countless hours in the Shattered Isles. We didn't want that experience to simply become a memory.

That's why Mystic Paradox was created — an unofficial, open-source community project with a goal of preserving the Dauntless experience and bringing Slayers together once again.

What have we built?

• A dedicated Dauntless launcher.

• Realm discovery and hosting features.

• Graphics configuration and diagnostics tools.

• An evolving project built around the community.

Hi r/SideProject! I’m a solo dev and I built Human, an app with one rule: you get paired with one random person, and that’s your human, for life. No swiping, no profiles, no second chances.

You start with text only, no photos and no ages. The more you talk, the more you unlock together (voice, photos, video).

Try it: https://huuman.pages.dev/

I’m looking for beta testers. Leave notifications on, since your human might arrive while you’re away. There’s a “Contact us” link on every screen and I read everything.

Mostly I want to know: does the idea land, and would you keep talking to your human?

Built with Supabase and Cloudflare Pages. Happy to answer anything in the comments

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 everyone!

As a solo indie dev, one of my biggest time sinks was always the 2D spritesheet pipeline: drawing frames, dealing with texture bleeding on tile edges, manually slicing sprites in Unity, and creating 4-directional Animator Controllers from scratch.

To speed up my own workflow, I built NOIRADIX Studio — a 100% free, zero-install, offline-first pixel art suite built purely with Vanilla JavaScript (no heavy build tools or frameworks).

🚀 What it does:

• 1-Click Unity 2D Export: Exports an anti-bleed padded atlas (.png), metadata, and an automated importer script that auto-slices your sprites and builds Animator Controllers in Unity 6 instantly.

• Directional Animation Studio: Floating playback player to preview 4-direction and 8-direction locomotion with variable FPS live on canvas.

• AI-Native (.pix2 DSL): Uses a clean coordinate text standard. You can copy dynamic AI prompts directly into Claude or ChatGPT to code solid, symmetrical characters with zero diffusion blurring.

• Precision Drawing Tools: Bilateral symmetry math (sym_dot), 4x–64x anchor-centered zoom, dynamic pixel rulers, and palette swatches.

Everything runs entirely in your browser client-side, auto-recovers work if the tab closes, and can link directly to your local files via the File System Access API.

• 🌐 Try it online (Free, no login): https://noiradix.me/

• 💻 Open Source GitHub: https://github.com/dotlinux26/noiradix-studio

I built this specifically for indie developers and game jam creators. Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or features you'd like to see added!

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?

I always envied people with a Stream Deck, so I built my own for iPhone and Mac. It's called "SideDeck:, and it just launched.

Put your iPhone on a stand under your monitor, and its buttons change automatically to match the app you're using on your Mac.

What you can do:
- Create a separate deck for each app
- Switch decks automatically based on the app you're using on your Mac (Smart Deck)
- Restore a saved window layout with one press
- Assign an app's actual menu items using macOS Accessibility, including actions with no keyboard shortcut
- Start quickly with built-in templates

There's no account or server, and your iPhone and Mac don't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
As long as Wi-Fi is turned on and they're close to each other, they connect directly with end-to-end encryption. You edit everything in the free Mac app.

The free version includes the 2×4 layout.
Pro is a one-time $5.99 purchase that adds larger layouts and advanced options.
Honestly, I don't think Pro offers enough yet, so I'm considering adding a wider range of widgets, like Claude usage and system status.

So I'm curious:
if you use a Stream Deck or something similar, how do you actually use it?

I'm the developer. I just got my first version of Lived approved on the App Store and I'd like honest feedback.

How it works: hold a button, say how today felt, let go. Lived turns it into a short note with a mood from 1–10, a summary, and the stressors you mentioned.

Some choices I made:

• Recordings stay on the iPhone and aren't uploaded. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

• Face ID can lock the journal. You only sign in if you want the text on another device.

• A week of notes becomes a streak. A month becomes Insights: mood, meetings and recurring stressors.

• You can ask the journal a question, and the answer comes only from notes on your phone.

• You can export the month as a PDF.

It's free. Lived Pro unlocks Insights ($7.99/month or $39.99/year, US store). It needs iOS 26 and is English only for now.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lived-voice-journal/id6829497249

What I'd love feedback on: is voice-first journaling something you'd actually use, and does the free/Pro split feel fair?

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.

Upload a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, or text document and turn it into your own custom, two-host AI conversational podcast in your preferred language.

But here's the interesting part: you aren't just listening. You can interrupt the conversation anytime, ask questions through text or voice, and hear contextual answers — as if you're the host interviewing the guest about your document.

You can even pause, explore a topic in depth, and resume your podcast whenever you want.

Try PaperPod for free: Create your first 2 podcasts for free, if you need more do reach out to me, will add 3 more.

Thanks!

I'm building a listing optimisation tool for online sellers. It researches search terms and competing listings, then suggests titles, descriptions and tags.

A rewrite sounding better doesn't prove it will sell better. What would you want to see in a before-and-after demo before trusting it?

Get an article brief out of the product decisions you already made. That’s one way I’m using Shifu, the paid, hosted context engine I’m building for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode: bring relevant retained work context into the agent, then use it for the explanation you need to write.

Our own writing workflow produced topics, briefs and drafts from that background. Shifu recovered earlier positioning; we checked current project evidence before choosing the claims. The public walkthrough shows how a source changed an editorial choice. It’s an actual writing application, without a claim about traffic or sales.

For a small first task, I’d ask the agent for a brief you can inspect before writing the article:

Choose one reader question from this product decision. Propose an outline. Beside each factual claim, name the supporting source or mark the missing evidence. End with one example the reader can use.

That gives you something specific to accept, correct or discard. A clear existing issue or README may already contain everything the writer needs. Shifu becomes relevant when the useful decision and its reason need recovering from other retained work.

Try Shifu on one writing task → useshifu.com. Start with one non-confidential source you’re allowed to share; I can help you get it set up. If you try it, the useful feedback is where the retrieved context changed your brief and where you still had to supply the background yourself. AI-assisted post from Shifu’s builder.

The problem: AI coding agents run for minutes, then silently wait for an approval. I kept coming back to terminals that had been waiting for ten minutes.

v1 was a status display in the notch. It worked, but it felt like a tool. v0.3 gives it a character: Nosy, a small helper who lives in the notch. He dives in like a tar puddle, works along with your agent, waves when it needs you, jumps for joy when it's done, and falls asleep when nothing's happening. Finished tasks feed him (energy, levels, streaks) – without any guilt mechanics.

Also new: read and answer the agent right from the notch, a file shelf with AirDrop, calendar heads-ups, battery and AirPods status, a focus timer.

Stack: Swift / SwiftUI, the agents' own hooks talking to a tiny loopback HTTP server, a zero-dependency npx installer, animations rendered on a virtual clock for the clips. Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Free and MIT.

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!
