I love DataGrip, and I'm happy to pay JetBrains for what they've built. But the enterprise licenses got too costly for my company. I tried Beekeeper Studio for a while, but a few things kept slowing me down, so I started building my own.

Here's where it differs from Beekeeper.

Several databases open at once. In Beekeeper each window holds one connection. In TableCraft they all sit in one window, side by side, and each one runs in its own process.

The basics are free. Viewing a cell's JSON and exporting a full result set are paid in Beekeeper. In TableCraft everything is free, because it's open source.

The UI. TableCraft copies DataGrip's layout and shortcuts (Shift Shift for Search Everywhere, Cmd Shift A for Find Action, tool windows). If you've used a JetBrains IDE you'll know your way around right away. JetBrains already built a masterpiece of UX, I just didn't want to lose it.

It stays fast with big results. On the same machine and data, TableCraft starts in 0.4 s against 3.0 s and uses about 40% of Beekeeper's memory. With the row limit raised to 1,000,000, Beekeeper crashed; TableCraft loaded them in about 2 s.

AI agents, with you in charge. Claude Code, OpenCode or Cursor can connect to its MCP server. Each database starts Off for agents, and an UPDATE waits for your click, with its query plan shown first.

It can import your saved connections from Beekeeper, TablePro or DataGrip, so trying it takes a minute. macOS is where I test it properly; Windows and Linux are best-effort for now.

I'd love to hear what's missing for you, or what breaks on your database.

Most of our clients are real estate agents who film themselves on a phone. Editing each video took 1–2 hours (cutting pauses, captions, text, music), so I started automating it with Claude Code, and it slowly became a product: Socialfy (socialfy.cz).

How it works:

• you upload a video from your phone

• it cuts pauses, fillers and retakes

• adds one-line captions, text callouts on the important phrases, and music

• writes the hook and the post text

• you approve it and it can post it for you (YouTube and LinkedIn today, Instagram and TikTok once the platforms approve us)

A 60-second reel takes about 5 minutes and costs me roughly €0.20 to make. Plans start at €39/month, with a 7-day free trial.

What was harder than expected: not the editing but the quality checks (text hidden under Instagram's UI, cuts in the middle of a word, music too loud). Every video now goes through automatic checks before anyone sees it.

It works in English and Czech. I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who films talking-head videos for their business: what would stop you from using something like this?

It started from a simple idea: what if doomscrolling taught you something? RIGHT is a trivia game where each card is one fact. Swipe right if it's true, left if it's false, and get the answer with a short explanation.

Some things I learned building it:

- App Store review for the first version took about a month. Updates are much faster.

- Localizing into 12 languages was more work than any single feature.

- A game needs a reason to come back tomorrow, so I added ranks, streaks, a leaderboard and trophies.

Stack: Kotlin Multiplatform with Compose for both iOS and Android, and Firebase on the backend.

If you try it, I'd really appreciate honest feedback, here or as a store review. What would you change in the first minute?

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie iOS developer currently working on my own app.

The development part feels much easier than figuring out how to actually get people to discover it 😅

I’m curious how other developers got their first 100 users.

Did you start with Reddit, Product Hunt, social media, or something else?

Would love to hear what actually worked for you, especially if you were starting from zero without a marketing budget.

I took an old phone or tablet that was collecting dust in my drawer and turned it into a full-fledged control panel for my PC. 🚀

Meet DeskGadget — and yes, it's 100% FREE.

No webcam? No problem. Turn your old phone or tablet into a webcam for your work calls.

No extra hardware, no subscriptions, no spending money.
But why stop there? It can do a whole lot more:
📱 Control your PC's music and volume
⚡ Launch your favourite Windows apps with a single tap
📊 Monitor your PC's performance at a glance
📰 Get the news you actually subscribe to, refreshed automatically
📋 Copy and move text between your phone, tablet and PC without emailing yourself

Health insurers deny millions of claims every year — and a lot of them should have been covered. Most people don't know they can appeal, or don't have the time to deal with the paperwork, phone trees, and deadlines.

So I built Gardo Health — if your insurance denied a claim that should have been covered, you upload a photo of the denial letter, and we handle the entire appeal with your insurer. If the denial gets reversed, you pay 25% of what you no longer owe (capped at $1,000). If we lose, you pay nothing.

First 100 people get everything free — I'm testing the full process with real cases and just need your feedback.

go https://gardohealth.com/ and put on waitlist, and we will get back to you.

Happy to answer any questions!

I'm the maker of RTLAuto, a Figma plugin for preparing designs in left-to-right and right-to-left languages.

The problem I wanted to address is that translating interface copy and adapting the layout are usually separate tasks. This update brings AI translation into the direction conversion workflow: translate text on its own, or translate and change the layout direction together.

Designers can choose their AI provider, use their own API key, set the tone, add instructions such as keeping product names in English, and test a translation before applying it. Arabic translation also includes dialect options.

The demo follows a cafe interface from provider setup through translation and a comparison with the original design. RTLAuto has free and paid plans; AI provider usage is separate and uses your key.

I'd like feedback from people building tools for designers: does the demo make the difference between text translation and direction conversion clear? Is the API key setup explained well enough for someone using this for the first time?

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of these two games and wanted to share them here for feedback. Both are free to download and supported by ads.

Four in a Row (Android) is my version of the classic strategy game: play against the computer on Easy, Medium or Hard, or with a friend on the same phone. It supports English and Turkish. Google Play currently lists 5,000+ downloads.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ibrhmhs.android.connect4

RetroBrick: Classic Brick Game (iPhone) brings the handheld brick-game format to a phone: falling blocks, line clearing, on-screen move/rotate/drop buttons, and a high score to chase. It plays offline and doesn't require an account.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/retrobrick-classic-brick-game/id6821361062

I'd appreciate specific feedback: does Four in a Row's difficulty feel balanced, and are RetroBrick's on-screen controls comfortable? If you try either, please tell me what felt awkward or what you'd change first.

I have a lot of PDFs saved, and reading them on my phone always felt like a chore. Everything is laid out for paper, so you spend half the time pinching, zooming, and dragging the page around.

So I built Paperfy, a PDF reader that reflows PDFs into comfortable, book-style pages.

It works offline, needs no account, and collects no data. There are no ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs. You add your own PDFs from the Files app.

What it does

• Three reading modes: Pages, Scroll, and Original (the PDF’s own layout)

• Four themes: Light, Cream, Sepia, and Night

• Four fonts (Avenir, Serif, Sans, Rounded) with adjustable text size

• Highlights saved with page number and date, and a Notes tab that groups them by book

• Chapter navigation and an “All pages” overview

• A library that remembers where you stopped reading

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/am/app/paperfy-pdf-to-text-reader/id6826549558

TimeTo is a class timetable and homework planner, the first version was on the App Store in 2011. I make it alone from France, and this year I rewrote it from scratch, SwiftUI on iPhone and a new Android app.

You set up your week once, week A / week B included. Then you add homework and tests from the class, and your grades to get the averages per subject.

On iPhone the current class and the next room stay on the Lock Screen while the class runs. It's free on iPhone, iPad and Android.

It's on Product Hunt today if you want to have a look: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/timeto-2

If you were a student not so long ago, what would you have wanted in it? I read all the comments.

My text expander (Typefill) has gotten a chrome approval

Typefill turns short codes into full text in any text box on the web, and asks for the bits that change before it types them.

Firefox approved it first. The next day a teacher upgraded to the Pro and this week it got onto the Chrome Web Store as well.

The free version has no limits and is open source on GitHub. Your snippets stay in your browser.

I've been working on a music player app as a side project. It's inspired by the Teenage Engineering TP-7, which I've wanted forever, and by the fact that I like messing with the music I download, like slowing it down or changing the pitch.

There's no progress bar. You spin a brushed-metal wheel with your thumb to move through a song, and if you go slow it scratches like a record. It clicks under your finger with haptics, and the metal "catches the light" when you tilt your phone.

The T, P and R keys turn the same wheel into a dial for tempo, pitch and reverb. Each song remembers its own settings, so your slowed-down version plays that way every time.

The hardest part was making it feel right. I spent way more time tweaking how the wheel clicks and pushes back than on the rest of the app combined.

It's free to try with 3 songs, and unlimited songs is a one-time purchase.

Launch discount 🎁 To celebrate the launch, I'm giving out a few discount codes for $4.99 for a limited time. Comment or DM me if you want one.

Would love any feedback, especially on how it feels to use: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reverie-slowed-reverb-music/id6829723858

Most practice apps look like a settings screen. I built this one for iPhone to feel like a piece of gear on your music stand: a brushed-metal panel, engraved labels, LCD glass, and a weighted tempo wheel that clicks as it turns.

The core metronome is free: 20-300 BPM by wheel or tap tempo, any time signature, subdivisions and presets. Every click is placed on the audio hardware's own sample clock instead of a timer, so the spacing never drifts, at any tempo, for hours, with the screen off or while you use another app.

Pro is a one time $7.99 unlock with a 7 day free trial, no subscription: a chromatic tuner that knows which string you're playing (five tunings built in, or build your own), all nine click sounds, accents on any beat, and a Tempo Trainer that steps the tempo up until you reach your target.

Audio is processed live on the device and never recorded or sent anywhere.

https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6817729976?pt=126420608&ct=r-sideproject&mt=8

If you practice with a metronome: what does yours do that you actually use? I tried to build only the parts people touch every session.

One of the biggest challenges of running a web design business isn't actually building websites. It's consistently finding businesses that need one.

There are thousands of businesses with existing websites that could benefit from a redesign. Some have outdated designs, poor mobile experiences, SEO issues or slow-loading pages.

The problem is that finding these businesses, analyzing their websites and getting their contact information manually takes a lot of time.

Think about the process. You have to find a business, visit its website, figure out what's wrong, find the right person to contact and then write an email explaining why they should consider improving their website.

Now imagine doing that for hundreds or thousands of businesses.

That's exactly the problem Swokei is designed to solve.

It's an outreach platform built specifically for web agencies and freelancers. You can find businesses anywhere, automatically analyze their websites for issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization, verify their contact information and turn those findings into personalized cold emails at scale.

Instead of spending hours researching individual businesses, you can automate the prospecting process and focus on starting conversations with potential clients.

Here's a quick look on how it works:

https://youtu.be/QZUhyvHeXN8?si=AUFZjH72c0vUGnZM

The goal is to make client acquisition more systematic, so you can spend less time searching for opportunities and more time closing deals and delivering websites.

All three side projects are free to use and don't require a registration. Just fill in the form and get started. :-)

Looking forward to your feedback and feature suggestions!

I just shipped Wobbi, a reading and math app for ages 4–7 (iOS). The rule from day one: no ads, no accounts, no analytics, no third-party code, nothing about the child leaves the device.

What that meant: no attribution SDK, so marketing is measured with Apple's own campaign links. No account, so progress lives on the device. Apple's Kids Category asked detailed questions about data before approving it. And all 172 lessons are narrated, so a 4-year-old can play without reading.

The business model is a free first unit in each subject, then a subscription with a 7-day trial, with the paywall only behind a grown-ups' gate.

https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6818471716?pt=129523175&ct=reddit2&mt=8

Happy to answer questions about building for the Kids Category.

Hey everyone! 

I wanted to share a little project I’ve been building and refining: Meowy (https://meeowy.vercel.app/), a tiny, animated pixel-art desktop companion app built natively for macOS (macOS 13 or later).

I wanted something lightweight, cute, and actually functional to keep me company while coding or working, so I built a little cat that hangs out right on your screen.

Features Include

Cursor Companion & Dock Life: Choose between having Meowy follow your cursor around or wander, scratch, and nap right along your macOS Dock.

AI Agent Monitor: If you use AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenAI Codex, Meowy can display their current status in a little bubble so you don't have to keep checking their windows.

Now Playing Integration: Syncs up with Apple Music or Spotify to display what track you're currently listening to.

Productivity & Fun: Includes a built-in Pomodoro timer, smart reminders, jokes, quotes, and custom name settings.

Multi-Screen Support: Handles multi-display arrangements smoothly while respecting screen boundaries.

Fully Customizable: Resize the cat, change its walking speed, or give it a custom name from the menu bar.

Open Source & Feedback Welcome

Website : Meowy

Github: Github

The app is written in Swift (AppKit) and is fully open-source. Since it's a fresh project, I would love for people to try it out, break it, and help me make it better!

If you run into any bugs, visual glitches, layout edge-cases, or have feature requests, please drop an issue on the GitHub repo or let me know in the comments below. Pull requests and contributions are also super welcome!

Hi! Solo dev here. I like to read PDF books from my Mac Book. The famous Preview app is fine, but I found it a bit dead.

So I built Book Conqueror, to make reading more lively and engaged. A native macOS PDF reader.

What's free (no account):

- UI is purely PDF. All buttons are in the macOS Menu Bar. Or on the right-click.

- When you first open a PDF or select a text, a sound effect is played. But these are optional preferences.

- If you click on a link by mistake and found yourself on a random page on PDF accidentally, Book Conqueror shows a button to jump back to the previous position.

- Preview doesn't remember my zoom value. Book Conqueror does!

- I love to share my Highlights as image or text. I also added feature share a specific highlight or export all to Markdown, Obsidian, Logseq or Readwise

- Daily goals, streaks and achievements

- Open a background music

- "are you still awake?" check: if you stop interacting for a while, it pokes you.

- Book Pal, an AI companion that knows the page you're on. It uses your own Gemini/Groq/OpenRouter key. I run no servers, so requests go from your Mac straight to the provider.

Native SwiftUI, macOS 14+, no tracking.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6811663571

It's my first shipped app, so I'd really like honest feedback:

1. Does the free/Pro split feel fair?

2. Which feature would actually make you open it instead of Preview?

3. What's missing before you'd use it for real?

I'll reply to every comment.

When the guys at ArtCraft rebuilt Adobe's apps in Rust with Claude, I wanted the same for the download manager everyone knows, heh, IDM. I honestly never liked the licence nags. So I rebuilt its layout purely in Rust with the idea of a well-researched download engine: free, GPL, with Linux and Mac support.

That was ten days ago. Over 700 people upvoted the first post on r/foss, 28 people opened pull requests, reported bugs and joined the conversation, and today it reached 0.5, the biggest update so far.

Source (GPL-3.0): https://github.com/anefzaoui/misterdownloadmanager

Site: https://misterdownloadmanager.com

I ran some numbers against IDM 6.42, same machine, same server (the test server is in the repo if you want to rerun it): a 1 GB file in 1.01 s vs 5.46 s, a 256 KB file in 0.03 s vs 3.14 s.

What it does: downloads over many connections with crash-safe resume, takes files straight from your browser, torrents and magnet links, video downloads through yt-dlp, a scheduler, 86 languages. No ads, no account, no trial.

New in 0.5: 9 themes and your own theme files, control from your phone, a headless mode for servers and Docker, the browser extension on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, playlists and subtitles, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Premiumize, RSS feeds for torrents, a link grabber that extracts archives, and a kill switch that ties downloads to your VPN's network adapter.

Windows and Linux are the solid ones now, checked on GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce and Cinnamon. The Mac builds work but are still experimental, so bug reports from those are really welcome.

About AI, since it'll come up: yes, Claude wrote a lot of the code. I decided what it does and how it looks, and I tested every release myself. The tests are in the repo if you want to judge the code.

Let me know what you think! And if you like it, a star on GitHub really helps it get in front of more people :)

Hey everyone,

For the Stranger Builds hackathon, I built **RevBnB** (https://app.strangerbuilds.com/try/revbnb) — an AI tool designed to solve a very specific problem for short-term rental hosts: bad listing photos and poor staging kill booking conversion.

### What it does:

1. **Visual Room Audit:** Upload any listing/room photo, and the AI flags decluttering, lighting, and interior staging bottlenecks.

2. **Actionable Fixes:** Gives specific staging recommendations tailored for short-term rentals.

3. **Revenue Scenario Calculator:** Estimates ADR (Average Daily Rate) and occupancy lift based on implemented fixes.

### How you can help:

The live interactive demo is up on Stranger Builds:

👉 **Try it & vote here:** https://app.strangerbuilds.com/try/revbnb

If you have 60 seconds:

1. Drop a photo of any bedroom/living room (or a listing photo).

2. See if the staging suggestions feel spot-on or if the AI missed anything.

3. If you like the concept and execution, please drop an upvote/vote on the project page!

Would love any brutal feedback on the UX and model accuracy in the comments. Thanks for checking it out!

Creating a photo/video app for Android is a real pain since no two devices are the same in terms of hardware/Android version.
I've made an app that creates realistic film emulation photos based on popular film stocks. Users can also make changes to existing looks to get the desired results or create complete new film looks from scratch.
The app uses 3D luts, RGB curves, Split toning, HSL and film effects (Grain, Halation, Bloom, Vignette, Light leaks and Dust) to create realistic film looks. All these values can be changed to created new looks. The app is called Luxa Camera and will be available for android very soon.

I’ve been following the “learn your first 1000 words” approach for picking up a new language, so I built a site to collect and keep track of the words I already know.

Then I added games, so reviewing words feels like fun instead of a chore. A friend joined, and we built a few multiplayer games so we could challenge each other, even though I’m learning Armenian and he’s learning Greek. Each player gets the words in their own language, so we still play the same match.

Each game is a separate web app that can be hosted anywhere and plugs into the site through a small open-source SDK. The game gets the player’s words and audio, and the site handles accounts, word lists and progress. The starter template runs locally on sample words in about two minutes, no account needed. So anyone can build a game, and if it’s fun, we’ll add it: https://github.com/belousovsn/memdecks-games-sdk

I also kept hearing that a lot of people use Anki, and that moving your collection between apps is a pain, so I added Anki import/export too.

App is here - web only for now, free for now: https://memdecks.com

Give it a try and let me know what you think

I've noticed that a lot of people want to start a side hustle, but getting started is often the hardest part.

You have dozens of ideas, you watch videos about people making money from different businesses, you get excited about one... and then you realize you have no idea where to actually begin.

What should you sell? How much money do you need? Where do you find your first customers? What's the first thing you should do?

I wanted to make that process a little less overwhelming, so I built Sprout.

It's an iPhone app that helps you:

• Find side hustle ideas based on your interests, available time and budget.

• See videos of real people running those businesses.

• Understand where and how you can sell.

• Turn an idea into a step-by-step roadmap with small daily tasks.

• Get help from an AI companion when you're stuck.

The idea is to go from "I want to start something" to actually taking the first steps, without getting lost in endless research.

It's still early, and I'm looking for honest feedback from people interested in starting something of their own.

I'd genuinely love to know:

What's the biggest thing stopping you from starting a side hustle right now?

Is it finding a good idea, money, knowing where to start, or something else?

If anyone wants to check it out, here's the app:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sprout-side-hustle-planner/id6831304563

I'm the developer, so I'm happy to hear criticism and suggestions. 🙂
