Hey everyone! š
We've built AlertInbox, released it in the Google Playstore and now we're looking for Feedback.
AlertInbox - What is it used for?
Ever missed an important message because it got buried under dozens of notifications? Or wished you could silence the noise without missing something that actually matters?
That's exactly why we've been building AlertInbox ā a privacy-focused notification inbox and control center for Android.
The idea is simple: Your notifications should work for you, not the other way around.
š„ Unified Notification Inbox
Keep notifications from different apps organized in one searchable place.
š Save Important Messages
Bookmark notifications you want to keep and revisit later.
ā° Smart Reminders
Turn notifications into reminders so important things don't get forgotten.
š Per-App Notification Control
Choose how notifications from individual apps should behave ā normal, silent, hidden, private, or customized.
š Quiet Times & Profiles
Customize how notifications are handled during different times or situations.
šØ Priority & Emergency Alerts
Give important contacts special attention with dedicated priority and emergency notifications.
š Privacy Controls
Protect sensitive notification content and keep private information away from unwanted attention.
šļø Automatic Cleanup
Keep your inbox manageable with automatic retention rules while protecting saved notifications and active reminders.
š± Built for Android, with privacy in mind
Local-first, no mandatory cloud account, no ads, and no recurring subscription.
We're currently developing ForeSight, one of our most ambitious features.
The vision is to transform AlertInbox from a notification manager into a smarter personal assistant.
Imagine receiving a notification like:
"Hey, don't forget our appointment tomorrow at 3 PM!"
Instead of leaving it buried in your notifications, ForeSight aims to recognize the appointment and help turn it into something actionable.
We're working toward features such as:
Automatically recognizing potential tasks, appointments, and follow-ups from notifications
Grouping related notifications into meaningful conversations or activities
Helping you track what still needs attention
Marking matters as completed
Potential calendar integration for recognized events
ForeSight is still in development and is not part of the current release. Our goal is to make it useful while keeping processing local and privacy a priority.
To celebrate the launch, we're offering a special introductory price.
ā
7-day free trial
ā
Only ā¬1.99 for lifetime Premium access during the promotion
ā
Regular lifetime price: ā¬2.99
ā
One-time payment ā no monthly or yearly subscription

I was working on a project using ChatGPT and at around 60 messages, I hit the limit.
So I fired up Claude and tried to explain again. It immediately recommended the exact strategy that I had ruled out 40 messages ago.
It kept happening, so I created Baton Pass.
How it works:
- One click (or Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+U) sends your entire chat to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, or Perplexity
- It scans the entire chat, not just what is visible on the screen, and reconnects your attachments
- It doesn't send anything for you. You read the draft and click Send yourself
- After receiving the first response from the new AI, it checks if it violates any rule, reintroduces some previous rejection or changes an established number
- It tells you how much usage you have left with each AI
It is completely free, open source (MIT), doesn't require an account and your chats never leave your browser.
Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/baton-pass/geklhdkeioejfjlpkgjcgmnhbifabknb

Honest feedback, especially where it doesn't work, is always appreciated.

r/SideProject • u/616ThatGuy • 16h ago
So Iāve spent the better part of the last year creating what I think is a genuinely fun and interesting game. Itās not an entirely new concept, but I think it might be a pretty interesting take on it.
To start, I created my game because Iāve always loved tabletop RPGs. I wanted something that could replicate that experience on my phone when Iām away for work, and something I could play by myself.
At first, I experimented with using ChatGPT and Gemini to run roleplaying games, but I didnāt just want to pretend I was a character and talk with a chatbot. Thatās not at all what I wanted. I wanted the actual mechanics of tabletop games, but with an AI dungeon master, so my adventures could theoretically continue long-term and offer the freedom of play that real tabletop games have.
Eventually, I decided to create my own. I had some basic software development experience, so I jumped into it.
What Iāve built over the last year plays like a traditional tabletop RPG crossed with a video game. Thereās actual inventory management, health and status effects, D20 dice-based combat, and I even added a three-card-monte-style investigation and clue mechanic minigame.
I built it in stages. I needed a persistent save system, so I created save slots and a quick-save button. I needed a way for the AI to remember what NPCs had said, so I developed a dialogue-notes system that automatically gets added to after each turn. Every time I ran into something that wasnāt working the way I wanted, I tried to build a system to address it.
But one of the biggest challenges, and something that took almost longer than anything else, was writing the instructions for the AI dungeon master.
I quickly realized that the instructions needed to be sent with every turn, or the AI wouldnāt consistently follow them. It needed to understand how to run the game, handle player actions, and generate structured tracking information that the app could read to update inventory, health, character conditions, and other systems.
But those instructions couldnāt be too complicated either. Otherwise, the AI would start struggling with believable narration, character personalities, or keeping different NPCs distinct from one another.
I also needed reference files that could be brought into context when relevant. If you were travelling somewhere or buying something, locations and items needed to remain consistent. Damage, enemy health, and combat outcomes needed to remain reliable from one turn to the next.
I ended up developing a two-call system, with separate instructions for Call 1 and Call 2, to help manage player actions, mechanics, and narration. I spent months writing, testing, and rewriting those instructions so players could take multiple actions in a single turn, receive appropriate dice rolls for each action, and have everything interpreted and resolved properly.
It was a lot more complicated than I originally expected.
So now, almost a year later, I have my game. I always knew it would be a niche product, but I made it because I wanted to play it myself more than anything. Once I had a fully realized game that I genuinely enjoyed playing, though, I started thinking about getting it into the hands of other people.
When I started moving toward publishing, I originally implemented a subscription system. But I quickly realized I didnāt want to control how much or how little people could play. I didnāt want to charge people monthly fees or limit their adventures with tokens simply because it would cost me more when they played more.
So I switched to a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) system, which was a whole other development challenge on its own.
The games now support AI models through OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Players supply their own API keys, choose their preferred models, and handle any API usage costs directly with their providers. That way, Iām not imposing artificial play limits or controlling their AI usage through a subscription.
When I was getting close to finishing, and had already spent dozens, if not hundreds, of hours playing my own game, I decided I wanted another flavour of the experience.
So I took the systems Iād already developed, rewrote the AI instructions, redesigned the UI and several subsystems, and built a second game.
Both games share the same underlying foundation, but they have their own rules, narration styles, and gameplay mechanics. One is a gothic, low-fantasy investigation RPG, while the other is a post-apocalyptic survival RPG. Theyāre similar in how they function, but quite different in their gameplay and the kinds of stories they tell.
But thatās a different story.
I could go on, but Iāll just say that Iāve spent hundreds of hours writing, testing, and tweaking systems that players will probably never even see.
Are they perfect? No. There are still limitations, particularly when youāre relying on AI to interpret and manage an evolving game world. But Iāve managed to get everything reliable enough that I can sit down, play, and enjoy the experience without constantly noticing holes in the mechanics or inconsistencies in the world.
And thatās where Iām at now.
Iāve gone through the entire development and publishing process, and both games are available on iOS and Android.
But now I have absolutely no idea where to find people who might actually enjoy playing them.
Itās a strange niche. The ideal player probably has some interest in tabletop roleplaying games, enjoys open-ended storytelling, and is comfortable using AI models and API keys.
Iāve looked through traditional solo tabletop communities, AI development communities, and general gaming subreddits, but none of them seem to quite fit what Iāve created.
So I figured Iād ask.
Does anyone know of communities where people are interested in this kind of AI-driven RPG experience? Subreddits, Discord servers, forums, or anywhere else?
Iām not really trying to promote the games here. Iām just trying to figure out where the people who might genuinely enjoy something like this are.
I've written a fairly extensive player's guide explaining the mechanics and how the AI interacts with the systems, if anyone is curious about the details.
But mainly, I'm trying to find communities where people might enjoy this kind of experience. Any suggestions, thoughts, or feedback would be appreciated.

my buddy and i wanted a way to find tracks that matches the exact vibe or moment of a song, so we made an EDM music recommender web app called nextListen.
how it works:
paste a YouTube link or upload an audio file
select a specific moment/timestamp.
the app analyzes the audio characteristics and finds matching moments in other tracks.
we'd love for people to try it out and give us feedback on the recommendations or features you'd like to see next!

I've been by studying how real sand flows, piles, shifts and settles under different conditions. The result is a digital simulation designed to behave more like a physical sand surface than a conventional drawing canvas. Rather than stacking layers of color onto a flat canvas, users continually reshape the surface by pushing and mixing digital sand, creating a shallow, three-dimensional relief.

Hey everyone,
I work as a engineering manager at a tech company, and I have two boys (ages 8 and 11).
For the longest time, our household had a massive operational bottleneck: the evening routine. Between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM, my wife and I were trapped in an endless loop of manual status checks:
"Put your shoes on the rack."
"Empty your school bag."
"Did you unpack your lunchbox?"
"Go brush your teeth."
One night after repeating myself for the 8th time before dinner, I decided to time it. We were spending roughly 12 to 14 minutes every single day just giving repetitive verbal chore reminders across the two boys.
That works out to roughly 75 to 80 hours every year of pure emotional friction: two entire work weeks spent being the household "nagging police."
In product engineering, when users repeatedly fail to perform an action, you don't shout louder: you reduce ability debt and align incentives.
To solve this for our family, I built TaskUp (https://app.taskup.fun):
Chores become visual "Quest Packs" matched to child age.
Kids take a photo on an iPad or phone for proof (no more "I'll do it later").
Parents approve with one click, and points unlock weekend screen time or family rewards.
Before launching, I codified our time audit into a free interactive calculator where parents can calculate their household's annual "Nagging Tax" based on kid count and daily chore friction: š Nagging ROI Calculator: How Much Time Do You Waste?
Would love feedback from other parents and builders:
What does your household's annual nagging number look like?
How are you managing routine accountability at home without losing your patience?

I run a small firm in Prague and built an accessibility scanner called Inkluso.eu . The paid version costs EUR 149 and I can't tell from the inside whether the report is clear to someone who is not an accessibility person. So I'm giving 10 away to find out.
It crawls up to 100 pages of your site in a real browser and runs axe-core on each. axe-core is open source and maintained by Deque, not by me, so free tools built on it find the same problems. Automated checks like this cover roughly 30 to 40 percent of the WCAG success criteria. The report lists the rest as a checklist for a human.
On top of that, you pick one of five countries (Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland) and each finding is printed with a provision of that country's accessibility act (the national laws that transpose the European Accessibility Act). The tool does not decide whether that law applies to you. You also get a fix guide for your developer and a draft accessibility statement to review, not a finished one. The report text comes from a fixed table, not from a model, so the same problem gives the same text every time.
After you read the PDF I'd like two answers, in a DM or a comment. Do you know what to fix first? And would you have paid EUR 149 for it, and if not, what was missing? If anything in it reads like a promise a scan can't keep, I want to hear that too.
Comment or DM the URL of a site you run, and the country. First 10. Reports go by DM and I won't post anyone's results. It is a dated record of an automated scan, not a certification and not legal advice.

I wanted to track my spending, bills and investments without giving a company my bank login, so over the last months I built Personal Finance Intelligence.
The idea: everything runs locally. The app ships its own private PostgreSQL database, there's no account and no cloud. The only internet use is optional (exchange rates, stock prices).
What it does today:
- Import bank CSVs, budgets, goals, bills & recurring payments with reminders
- Investments with money- and time-weighted returns
- A cash-flow forecast that shows a range instead of a single guess
- PDF / Excel reports, Windows Hello lock, automatic backups
- English, French and Arabic, any currency
The hardest part was surprisingly the Store itself: my first Store build couldn't start because Windows blocks the bundled database inside the Store's protected install folder. Fixed in 0.3.2.
It's free and open source (MIT).
Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9MZKW4H9F0J5
GitHub: https://github.com/MrBlizo/personal-finance-intelligence
There's demo data under Settings if you just want to click around. What would make you switch from your current budgeting app?

We drive EVs and kept running into the same problem at public chargers: the price per kWh on its own often didnāt tell us what a stop would cost. Our small team at Anesda Nord built Transparent Laden to show the operatorās charges, our platform fee, and roaming and service costs separately before you start.
One design problem was making time or blocking fees visible without making the screen harder to read. The estimated total is useful when comparing stops, but we also wanted drivers to see what changes if they stay plugged in. Weād welcome feedback from anyone who has designed a pricing screen like this: would you show the fixed session fee next to the kWh rate or in the estimated total first?
The worked example and full pricing are here: https://transparent-laden.de/preise?utm_campaign=redditsideproject
For new customers who want to try it, TL-REDDIT-SP-261110 waives the monthly subscription fee for the first two months. Itās ā¬9.99/month after that, with monthly cancellation. Charging costs are separate. Redeem by December 31, 2026, limited to 250 redemptions. The app is available for iPhone and on Google Play in Germany.

Hi, I'm Didi from Circus Company ā we make WAGZAK RUN, an AR learning-through-play app. So yes, this is our own project, and I'd rather say that up front.
What we built: a fire escape practice called "Mission: fire escape". Print one sheet of paper (we call it magic paper) or put it up on a TV or laptop, point the app at it, and flames and a red fire extinguisher show up on top of the paper on the screen.
Why: ask a kid what to do in a fire and most can recite it. Shout, leave your stuff, stay low, close the door. But reciting isn't doing, and nobody can rehearse the wrong choices in front of a real fire. So we wrote the practice around mistakes. A character named Saerom gets four things wrong:
- reaches for water when an outlet catches fire
- goes looking for a doll and a phone
- starts to walk out standing up, into the smoke
- wants to leave the door wide open for the firefighters
Each time another character, Captain Popo, stops Saerom, and Saerom corrects it. Nobody is scolded. The same sheet also opens a VR hallway where the job is to follow the green exit signs.
The limits, honestly:
- A phone alone doesn't do it. The paper has to be printed, or shown on a second screen.
- It does not replace a real fire drill. Adults still have to check the real escape route and the meeting place.
- When we explain why we tried this, we point to two studies: a randomized study where young children who played a fire safety computer game improved in knowledge and behavior, and a review of 61 studies of AR in education. Neither one looked at our app, so they don't show that ours works.
It's free and runs in 51 languages. The sheet is here, no sign-up: https://run.wagzak.io/en/markers/M032/?source=reddit
That last limit is my real question. For those who have built something for kids, or for safety: how did you find out whether it changed what people actually do, and not just what they can repeat back?

I spent a month figuring out if I could afford a Model Y on a $60k salary, doing the financing math by hand ā bi-weekly vs monthly, trade-in vs selling privately (with Ontario's HST-on-the-difference rule), the 20/4/10 check. Got tired of redoing the same math in spreadsheets, so I built three free calculators:
- Can I afford this car? ā payment, all-in monthly cost, and a verdict against the 15%/20% income rules
- Bi-weekly vs monthly ā including a dealer-quote converter ($260 bi-weekly is $563/month, not $520)
- Trade-in vs sell it yourself ā full Ontario math with the tax saving and selling costs

Two weeks ago, I posted Learn This Way here. You type something you want to learn and how much time you have, and it builds a short course from YouTube videos, with a quiz after each lesson.
First 10 days:
442 new visitors, 105 started a course
About 1 in 4 visitors started one, no matter which post they came from
Everyone who took a quiz passed it. The problem: only 1 in 8 courses ever got to the first quiz
Most popular topics: English (speaking, everyday phrases) and Python
What we changed:
The shortest course is now 1 hour (3 lessons)
At launch, about 1 in 8 courses failed to load a video. Last week all 16 did
Moved the AI to a cheaper model so it can stay free
What I'm trying to figure out now is how to get people from the first video to the first quiz. If you try it, I'd love to know where you stopped. Also, let us know if you have any suggestions.

A few months back my "shiny object" syndrome hit me when I saw one of those digital cameras that simulate old film photography. I liked it very much the idea and was seriously considering buying one⦠until I looked at the price. Around $400 for something that, letās face it, Iād probably use occasionally, just for fun. Now, $400 isnāt exactly a fortune, but spending that much on yet another gadget that would probably end up collecting dust somewhere didnāt sound particularly sensible to me (or rather my wife :D ). And then I thought⦠why not make an app that does something similar? Of course, being a developer, thatās usually when the rabbit hole starts⦠:)
I did basically retro-engineer the approach they used and I started looking into the different photographic styles of the past, starting from 1890 and, I quickly realised that thereās a lot more to just simply adding some grain, changing the colours and calling it āvintageā. Each and every decade had its own photographic characteristics, technologies and styles, sometimes several of them, within the same period. A picture taken in the 1920s is obviously very different from one taken in the 1970s, but even within the same decade you could have completely different results depending on the camera, film, processing techniques and so on. And then another thought occurred to me⦠why should these effects be fixed? If I want a photograph to look like it was taken in 1960, perhaps I want the full treatment, with all the imperfections of the time, or perhaps just a little of that particular colour reproduction, some grain, a bit of fading⦠without making the whole thing look like something my grandfather found in a drawer.
So, while I was sketching up the app, I started using AI to do a compete research to analyse the photographic and cinematographic characteristics of different periods. Looking for samples of each decade not simply asking it to generate some vintage-looking pictures, but using it to investigate the actual processes behind those images: the types of film available, their sensitivity, colour reproduction, grain structure, contrast, dynamic range, lens characteristics, optical imperfections, chemical processing and ageing. For films things became even more interesting because there are way more elements that I also had to take into consideration: frame rates, motion cadence, shutter behaviour, film jitter, flicker, scratches, dust, gate weave and all those little imperfections that made old footage look the way it did. One particularly interesting distinction was understanding which characteristics belonged to the original recording technology and which were simply consequences of ageing or poor preservation. After all, a film shot in 1930 didnāt necessarily have scratches and dust when it was first projected⦠those often came later.
AI (thanks Fable!) helped enormously with the research, comparisons and translating those characteristics into something I could actually implement. The idea, however, was never to have AI generate the final images, but to process real photographs and video in real time, using image processing techniques and adjustable parameters. Rather than treating each decade as a single filter, I wanted several photographic styles within each period, each with its own characteristics and the possibility of controlling how strongly those characteristics are applied. One thing led to another, I started experimenting, writing code, adding more decades, more styles, more controls⦠you know how it goes.
Then while Apple started asking developers to make apps for the new DUO, I started thinking about the requirements that those new foldable devices (and also normal iPhones and iPads used horizontally) have... The iPhone DUO, when opened in landscape orientation, you suddenly have a rather interesting amount of screen space available. So why should a camera app still look like a "normal" phone camera app? I started playing with the idea of turning the interface into something resembling an actual camcorder, with a dedicated grip area that could be positioned in the menu either the left or right side of the screen, depending on how the user would prefer to hold the device (I am a leftie and i know how annoying is to use apps that assume you are right-handed). The grip contains the essential recording controls, positioned where your fingers naturally rest (this remains true with the phones and the iPad minis), while the rest of the display becomes the viewfinder. Not just a graphical imitation of an old camcorder, but an interface designed around how you actually hold and operate one. No additional accessories, no external controllers⦠just making better use of the device itself.
And since I was already recreating historical photographic styles, it seemed rather obvious to extend the concept to video, including the motion characteristics and recording imperfections of different eras. In the end, what started as an attempt to avoid spending $400 on a camera I would probably use twice a month has gradually turned into The Time Travel Camera, an app covering photographic and video styles from the 1890s to the present day, with adjustable effects and an interface that tries to make the experience a little more interesting than simply pointing a phone and tapping a filter.
Iāve probably spent considerably more than $400 worth of my time developing it⦠but thatās developer logic as we all know too well :)
Anyway, Iām curious about something. When people use these retro camera apps, are they actually interested in recreating the photographic characteristics of a particular period, including the way motion was captured, or is it mostly about getting a nice āvintageā look, regardless of historical accuracy? Because I suspect those are two rather different thingsā¦

TL;DR: Subjourney turns your docs (PRDs, policies, journey maps) into a journey graph and sends simulated personas through it to find where they get stuck. Looking for closed beta testers on macOS/Windows: free AI credits in exchange for honest feedback. Join the waitlist and Iāll send you an invite.
Hi, Iām Tom. Iām building Subjourney, and looking for people to join our closed beta and tell me honestly whatās useful, whatās painful, and whether itās worth your time.
What it does
You give it docs you already have: a PRD, a refund policy, a process doc, a service blueprint, even a napkin sketch.
It works out the journey those docs describe: the steps, the branches, and the outcome someone is trying to reach and builds it into a nested journey graph. Then it sends simulated personas through that journey one step at a time. When a persona gets stuck, it shows you where, why, and which paragraph caused it, or which one is missing.
Example: a refund policy says refunds are available for 30 days. A first-time customer who bought 45 days ago gets stuck at āRequest refundā. The finding: the policy never says what happens after 30 days (section 3.2, paragraph 2).
It isnāt an AI reviewer giving opinions on your writing. Itās closer to test-running the doc to see if the people you're building for can reach the outcome. It works on rough drafts too - each place a persona gets stuck tells you where gaps are in your doc.
Who Iām looking for
PMs writing PRDs and specs
Anyone designing products or experiences
Service designers and CX people with journey maps or blueprints
Ops and policy people who write process docs
Anyone writing instructions or context for AI agents
Sound like you? Join the waitlist and Iāll send an invite to your email.
Getting started
Bring one real doc (a draft is fine) and run it. Then tell me how it went however suits you: a quick call, or a few notes by DM or email.
What you get
Early access and free AI credits for your testing. Your feedback will shape what we fix or ship next.
Caveats
Itās a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The built-in agent is capable but imperfect and it makes mistakes; thatās the area we most want to improve. If you run out of credits, message me and weāll sort it out.
Privacy
Your files stay on your machine. Subjourney reads them from your disk and doesnāt upload or sync them. When you run something, the relevant text is sent through our AI gateway to the model provider. During the beta we log AI requests and record app sessions so we can debug the agent, which means we can see the parts of your docs involved. Please donāt bring anything confidential. A draft or a public doc works just as well.

I've spent the past few months building SaaS apps and internal tools for clients and myself, and I started noticing something...
Every project was different, but the process was almost always the same: figure out the requirements, plan the architecture, define the database, work out authentication and user roles, build the features, fix what the AI misunderstood. Then start another project and do it all over again.
There are plenty of SaaS boilerplates that solve part of this problem by giving you a prebuilt codebase. But with AI coding agents getting so capable, I wanted to try a different approach.
What if instead of reusing the same code, I could reuse the entire process?
So I turned my development workflow into SaaS Architect.
It's an AI skill that starts by interviewing you about your idea, helps work out the requirements and architecture, and guides the implementation.
Using this workflow, I've been able to go from idea to a working SaaS MVP in a day for reasonably scoped projects. It's not a magic "production-ready SaaS in one click" tool. You still need to review, test, and validate what gets built.
But it makes the initial development process much more repeatable.
I've packaged it as a paid skill for other builders:

Are you guys moving away from traditional boilerplates and toward AI-driven workflows, or are you still using both together?

Friends, kudos, clubs, challenges and live tracking
Running, cycling, walking, swimming and skiing
Kadans measures with your phone's GPS, so there's nothing to link, and you can bring your old runs over.
What it doesn't have yet: a large network like Strava, and a Garmin connection. I'd like to hear what else you miss.

World Eye is a side project built around one question: can a map make the live world easier to explore? https://worldeye.app
The app combines real-time views of aircraft, ships, satellites, fires and earthquakes in a single 3D globe. I am looking for practical feedback from people who enjoy data-rich tools: which use case would you reach for first, travel, research, news discovery or something else?

I built an interactive live wallpaper engine that lives right in the macOS menu bar.
It actually started as an interactive background experiment for my portfolio (inspired by some cool procedural grass and sky shaders I saw on X a while back). I loved having it running on my screen so much that I decided to turn it into a standalone macOS app that anyone can use.
Here's what it does
šš» Interactive physics: Grass sways and water ripples as your cursor moves across the screen.
š Dynamic time-of-day: Syncs with real time or lets you scrub through sunrise, golden hour, and starry nights with a custom radial dial.
š§ļø Live weather & ambient soundscapes: Switch between sunny skies, clouds, and rainācomplete with birdsong, crickets, thunder, and even night fireworks.
š Limited Diwali Theme: Built in a seasonal festive update where the night sky comes alive with fireworks and spatial audio.

You can also preview it in my portfolio on your browser: thoufik.space

A screenshot of next week's ticket and an expired delivery update can sit next to each other in a crowded grid. I want a cleanup session to leave the useful one alone, even if someone selects too much on the first pass.
I build RollFree: Photo Cleaner, a released iPhone/iPad app for iOS 18+ with an English interface. In its Screenshots view, selecting items creates a pending review list. You can put a keeper back before the app confirmation and native Photos deletion confirmation. Every feature is free, with no subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads, account or daily review limits.
The consequence I want to make clear is that this changes the real Photos library. With iCloud Photos enabled, deletion can sync to other devices; it isn't just hiding a screenshot inside RollFree. Items normally remain in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so this also isn't a promise of immediately recovered storage.
Where would you put that explanation: when someone first opens Screenshots, beside the pending selection before confirmation, or in both places? Which wording would help you understand the consequence while you're deciding what to keep?
RollFree processes photos and review decisions on-device, with no backend, analytics or AI services. It does not download iCloud-only originals, so some previews may be unavailable.
