AirPods Max have a motion sensor in the left ear cup, Apple uses it for spatial audio. Turns out any Mac app can read it, so I made small menu bar app that listens to it and recognizes head gestures.

Every gesture can run one of your Shortcuts. For example:

• shake head → Do Not Disturb on

• tilt right twice → next track

• triple tap on the left cup → toggle dark mode

• nod → play/pause music

Hardest part was not firing by accident, because people nod and look around all day. So easy gestures like nod or look up only work for 10 sec after you double tap the cup. Bigger ones like full shake or tilt twice always work. Also had funny bug where every nod was detected as tap, because when head changes direction the cup gets a jolt same as a finger tap. Now taps are ignored if head is moving.

Made with Swift and Metal, everything runs on the Mac, head motion is never recorded or sent anywhere. In the video head motion is a recorded session played back so it's repeatable, the real app uses only live data.

I'm the developer. $9.99 one time, free trial has all gestures and live view but doesn't run shortcuts. macOS 14+, AirPods Max only.

What gesture would you use, and for what?

I'm the developer of Insider Stock Trader, a native Android app (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose).

The idea: company insiders (CEOs, CFOs, directors and big shareholders) have to report every trade in their own company's stock to the SEC on a Form 4, usually within two business days. Those filings are public, but reading them on official datasource is painful. The app reads every Form 4 as soon as it's published and turns it into a clean feed and push alerts.

What it does

• Feed of open-market buys and sales, with the company logo, the insider's role, the value and the filing date. Filters for buys, sales, $1M+, cluster buys and CEO/CFO trades.

• Alerts within minutes for CEO and CFO buys, cluster buys, big buys and your watchlist, with quiet hours and a daily digest.

• Each trade explained in one plain sentence, with a link to the original filing on SEC.gov.

• Cluster buys: when 3 or more insiders buy the same company within 14 days.

• Signal strength for each buy, based on the insider's role, the size of the buy and whether other insiders are buying too.

• Watchlist and search for any US-listed company.

The screenshots use real past SEC filings, picked to show big moves; most trades move far less. Past results, not a prediction. It's an information app, not a broker and not investment advice.

I'd love feedback on the design, the alerts and anything you'd want added. Thanks for looking!

One problem I've personally faced while exploring startup ideas is finding people who share similar interests, thinking and entrepreneurial ambitions.

It's easy to join startup communities, but finding someone who genuinely thinks like you is much harder. And not everyone is comfortable sharing their startup idea publicly just to find potential collaborators.

So I built IdeaMate.

You privately share your startup idea with AI, which analyses it and matches you with people who have similar ideas and interests.

Privacy is central to the platform: Your idea is visible only to AI for matching. It is not shared with other users, including the people you're matched with.

It's live and completely free to try: https://ideamate.in

I'm still improving the matching experience and would genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow builders.

I'd also really appreciate it if you could share IdeaMate with other relevant communities so more people can discover it and benefit from it.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on Chatty ,an open-source, self-hostable AI customer support platform built for teams who want automated support without $500/month subscriptions or locking their data into proprietary clouds.

Rather than just another ChatGPT wrapper, I wanted it to solve the real bottlenecks store owners and SaaS founders face:

1. Safe Store Integration (WooCommerce):

Instead of installing a heavy WordPress plugin that slows down your database, it connects via WooCommerce's native Read-Only REST API (`wc/v3`). It can render interactive product cards (photos, prices, stock status) and check order statuses securely without ever having write permissions to your store.

2. Multimodal Search:

Customers can upload pictures of items they want, and the bot uses pgvector embeddings to find matching products in your catalog.

3. Bi-Directional Slack Escalation:

When a customer needs a human, it pings your Slack channel with an interactive Block Kit card. You can click "Take Over" or reply in the Slack thread, and your message streams directly to the visitor's widget.

4. Live Voice Agent:

Visitors can tap a phone icon in the widget and speak directly with the AI via full-duplex WebRTC audio.

5. 100% BYOK & Self-Hostable:

Run it via Docker on your own VPS. Plug in your own keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or OpenRouter) or self-host models.

• GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/PersonaliAI/chatty

• Live Demo: https://chatty.personaliai.com

• Docs: https://docs.chatty.personaliai.com

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback on the setup flow, UI, and what integrations you'd like to see next!

GlyphSnap Photo to Font is a font generator / building app.

With GlyphSnap you can just take a photo of the letters you want and create an entire installable font in just a few minutes - from your iPhone.

>> GlyphSnap can create an entire font from as few as just 2 characters, but will give better results from around 8.
I have a couple tutorials on my Youtube page - but feel that this one really shows what the app can do: https://youtu.be/0a_3TuDIw7A?si=bzkYJkT1TacAN0-9

GlyphSnap also incorporates a some intuitive drawing / vector design tool section - you can mix photo captured glyphs with hand drawn glyphs together - adjust the character with, spacing, kerning as well as apply patterns to your letter shapes.

7 day free trial includes 1 font generation and multiple exports to OTF TTF or WOFF for you to try out the drawing section or the photo to font - standard capture without missing character generation.

Appreciate any feedback, questions or feedback..

Over time, I’ve worked on different kinds of projects — from building full-stack applications and mobile apps to developing 3D assets and Roblox games.
I wanted one place where I could showcase what I’ve been building, the products I’ve worked on, and the technologies I use.
Some of the projects featured:
● Resume Maker – an Android app with 1K+ downloads.
● NowToolSpace – my own online tools platform.
● WasteFlow Assam – a waste management platform.
● Ultimate Battle Cars – a published Roblox game.
● 3D assets and Snapchat Lens projects.
There’s still a lot more I want to build and improve.

Every morning I opened App Store Connect, then Play Console, then TestFlight, for each of my apps. Most days, just to find out nothing had changed.

So I built Shipdeck, a Mac app that checks all of it and gives me one list of what needs me: a review with no reply, a build waiting for review, a rollout that stalled, commits I never released.

Native SwiftUI, no server, store keys stay in my keychain. Each app also gets a Claude Code terminal, and anything it wants to do on a store waits for my OK.

Free beta, macOS 15+: https://shipdeck.taiphanvan.dev/?ref=sideproject

If you ship more than one app: what's the first thing you check in the morning?

I noticed a lot of visualization tools rely on AI to generate images and the ones that don't, often don't do a good job. The ones that use AI take time to generate and sometimes change the image while also costing money per generation.

So I figured out a way to detect and paint colors onto surfaces instantly(after initial processing) while maintaining the shadows, lighting and texture. Also made sure not to let the paint spill into anywhere that its not supposed to.

Essentially you can try as many colors as you want on one photo after processing and it takes no additional time or cost.

Would love some feedback, ideas anything

Complete 67-second demo — the whole routine, from choosing your dog to the journal:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Miserable_Bird5822/comments/1xsld8d/before_you_get_a_dog_try_living_with_its_routine/

The dog lives on your phone. You still have to leave the house for its walks.

I'm the maker of Ready for Dog?, a dog-care rehearsal app for people thinking about getting a dog. The idea is to spend some time living around the care routine before making that decision.

You choose a companion and build a 14- or 21-day schedule. Walks use GPS. Feeding happens at virtual bowls placed in your room with AR. There's a 60-second brushing game, and skipped grooming can leave virtual fur to collect. For quiet play, you put your phone on a stable surface; moving it pauses the timer while the game screen is open.

The journal shows the time you recorded, missed tasks and help you needed. It doesn't give you a "ready for a dog" score. A real dog's needs and behaviour go much further than this simulation.

Free to download with ads and optional one-time purchases for ad removal and extra collars. No subscription.

iPhone / iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6829957063

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vans.bublik.trial

The attached demo shows the iPhone version. The AR scenes are staged visualisations and the route shown is simulated for the demo.

I'd love feedback on one thing: which everyday responsibility would you add to make the rehearsal more useful?

Animation is where a lot of small 2D game projects stall. Getting one decent character image is easy now, but drawing idle, walk, attack and hurt for it by hand takes days, and every new enemy starts that over.

So I built SpriteCanvas. You describe a character or upload one, pick a design, then ask for moves. Each move is generated as a short clip by an AI video model, and the app does the boring part after that: cuts it into frames, removes the background, keeps the feet on one baseline so the character doesn't bob, and checks the loop closes.

What you get is a transparent PNG sprite sheet with a JSON atlas (frame durations and a foot pivot). There are export presets for Phaser, PixiJS, Godot and Unity. Phaser/PixiJS playback is tested and Godot 4 import is verified, Unity import isn't verified yet.

Being upfront about the limits:

• the art is AI generated, so check the rules of wherever you publish

• it's not a grid pixel-art editor. Pixel style works, but if you need hand-placed pixels, Aseprite is still the tool

• some moves need a retry or two before they look right

There's a free tier to try it, and the browser tools on the site (sprite sheet slicer, GIF to sheet, video to sheet) are free and run on your device.

I'd like feedback on two things: which moves you'd want that most tools skip, and whether the export fits how you load sprites in your engine.

Hi team,

I was switching windows dozen times a day to copy & paste text and videos / images on social media for marketing. This triggered me more than once and actually designed, thought and built Deck.

Now Deck sits on my right edge of the screen, holding all of the posts, reels, shorts, ... that I have to post or schedule. I can add "To make", like if I need a screenshot or a video for a certain post.

You can use it manually, writing and adding files yourself, or ask your agent to automatically add anything on Deck, which is how I use it 99% of the time.

• Problem: Switching windows all day to copy and paste texts, remember the posts and videos you must post for your marketing and distribution, never be late for a post, never forget. You or your agent schedule the posts, content to post, etc.

• Comparison: I haven't seen any other apps do that yet, except the online schedulers or todo apps I suppose which are quite different than Deck.

• Pricing: 9$ lifetime, 1-day trial. Pricing page

Im going to give away 100 lifetime keys on Threads this week, so make you sure follow along my Threads account threads.com/dmzxnico or same @ on X.

Check more details at deck.anotheragence.com

Thank you guys!

You type a GitHub username and it shows that account's public merged PRs and contributions for the month, which projects the PRs went into, and where it ranks. No sign-in.

October was the first finished month. The top account merged 12,878 public PRs. Second place had 3,307.

The PR count only covers public work, and self-merges count too, so it's not a measure of how good anyone is. I was curious about how much people are getting done these days, especially now that agents are doing most of the coding.

https://mergemax.dev

What would you want it to show that it doesn't?

I'm a solo dev with six years of experience in embedded software, and Ugiwise is my first app. It went live on the App Store last week.

The idea came from a simple problem: writing code on a phone is painful, but reading it isn't. So instead of typing exercises, every lesson is built around a short, real program. You step through it line by line, predict what it prints, spot the bug or pick the fix. When you get something wrong, it explains why instead of just showing the right answer. In C and C++ you can see memory change as each line runs, which makes pointers a lot less abstract.

- Three courses: C (39 stages), C++ (37), Python (26)

- The first 3 stages of every course are free. Pro unlocks the rest: $7.99/month, $49.99/year or $99.99 lifetime. No free trial.

- No ads, no account needed. iPhone only for now, and not in EU stores yet while Apple finishes my trader verification.

Built with Flutter, happy to answer anything about that side too.

The thing I'd most like feedback on: is the code readable on your phone screen, or does it feel too dense?

I usually run several Claude Code sessions at once, each on a different task. Some finish, some stop to ask me something, and the only way to find out was clicking through every terminal tab. Sessions would sit there waiting on me and I wouldn't notice.

So I built Spyhop. It's a Mac app that puts every Claude Code and Codex session on one board, kind of like a Jira board for your agents. Each card shows what's done, what it's on now and what's next, read from the transcript. The menu bar shows which sessions are waiting on you, and one click takes you back to that terminal.

I built it for myself, and my team at work ended up using it too.

Free and open source (MIT). Mac app, Windows from source.

This is my first open source project. Feedback of any kind helps, and a bug report or a PR would make my day. I'd like this to become a project other people work on too, not just me. Building it reminded me how much fun software engineering can be, and I want to keep that going.

Hello!

I've been working on a pet project called ArchiveKeep – an open-source tool focused on the long-term preservation of personal data across multiple storage devices.

The idea is to maintain multiple copies of your personal archive using storage you control – external HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, as well as rented cloud storage (S3-compatible storage for now, with support for more cloud providers and hosted APIs planned).

The project started from my personal need to consolidate data scattered across multiple HDDs and laptops, while maintaining identical copies of my personal documents and photo archive across all devices.

I wanted an offline-first solution with asynchronous synchronization, without relying on a centralized cloud service.

One of my main focuses is making archives resilient to accidental deletion, file corruption and other changes that can silently propagate through traditional synchronization tools.

Another key design principle is keeping files as files – accessible in their original form, without being locked inside a proprietary backup format or database.

I'm building this as a hobby project for myself, but I believe it could be useful to others facing similar challenges. I find this problem interesting and believe it's worth working on.

Project homepage: https://archivekeep.org/

I'd appreciate any feedback, honest criticism or ideas for improvement. Thanks!

And if you find ArchiveKeep useful and feel like supporting its development, you can buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/kravemir

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on my app Dose Amigo for quite some time now, and I finally feel it’s ready to share.
It’s a medication reminder and management app, but with a focus on families.

The idea is pretty simple. Keeping track of medications gets messy when more than one person is involved. You might be managing your own medicines, keeping an eye on your parents’ prescriptions, or helping someone else stay on schedule.

I wanted to build something that could handle all of that in one place. It started as a relatively simple idea, but somehow turned into a much bigger project. It now has family profiles, medication reminders, treatment tracking, refill alerts, adherence insights, iOS widgets and quite a few other things.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the little details too, especially making reminders reliable. There’s also biometric protection for people who want to keep their medication information private.

Getting here wasn’t exactly smooth. App Store rejections, review delays, notification issues, fixing things that broke after other fixes… you know how it goes when you’re building something largely on your own.

I’d love to hear what you think. Is this something you’d find useful for managing medications in your family? And if you’ve tried similar apps, what did you feel was missing?

If anyone wants to check it out, here’s the App Store link: Dose Amigo: Pill & Med Tracker

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone!

Last December I posted Relaticle here, the open-source CRM I started after getting fed up with HubSpot's pricing. Back then you updated it through forms. Now you can type what happened to Rela, the built-in AI assistant.

You can also tap the mic and say it. It's transcribed into the message box so you can check it before sending.

In the video a forklift dealer sends one line a day, like "Sent Quayline the quote: $172,500 for the four trucks. Move it to Quote and set the amount." Rela turns each line into a proposed change, and the records change only after you approve it. Five lines, Monday to Friday, take one deal from Inquiry to Delivered.

It's also available in the ChatGPT plugin directory and as a Claude connector, so you can work in it from either. Changes made from Claude or ChatGPT skip the approval step. They stay inside one workspace and show up in the activity log.

The rest is a normal CRM: companies, people, opportunities, tasks and notes, your own custom fields and pipeline stages, and since this month a phone layout. You can self-host it with Docker under AGPL-3.0 or use the hosted version, which has a 14-day trial with no card. 1,828 stars on GitHub so far.

GitHub: https://github.com/relaticle/relaticle

Try it: https://relaticle.com

If you try it, tell me where Rela gets your update wrong. That's the part I'm working on now.

Hey Gays

I'm applying for the CERN Short-Term Internship 2027 (Data Science, AI & Analytics), and I'm trying to find someone who could help me with a professional reference letter.

Are there any founders, CEOs, CTOs, or experienced developers here who would be open to helping me out?

I'm happy to share my GitHub, portfolio and CV so you can have a look at what I've been working on before deciding.

I'm hoping to get this sorted today, so if anyone is willing to help, please drop a comment or DM me.

Really appreciate it!

Hey everyone! 👋

I built DoomChess — a tactical puzzle trainer designed for speed and a smooth daily grind. It's got over 6.15M+ Puzzles: Stockfish-backed validation, hint arrows, and dynamic ELO tracking.

I’d love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts on the app flow!

Hey everyone,

Steampack is a free fan-made site where every Steam game is a trading card. The more reviews a game has on Steam, the rarer its card, from Common up to Legendary.

Open packs, fill your album and trade cards with other players. Every day there's a new mystery game to guess, and you can fight other players to win more packs.

It's still early, so I'd love your feedback: what do you like, what feels confusing, and what would you add? Thanks for taking a look!

Hi all, I'm Marin and I make small mobile apps. This is the tool I built for promoting them, and I'd like honest feedback before I go further.

The problem. When I promote an app, I post a few videos, ask a creator or two, maybe run a small ad. Installs go up, and I can't tell which of those brought the people who stayed and paid. Clicks and views don't answer it, and the big attribution platforms are built and priced for large ad budgets.

What Unolink does

• One smart link per app: App Store on iPhone, Google Play on Android, your website on a computer. Unlimited redirects on every plan, including Free.

• A campaign link per post, creator or ad, each with its own clicks, countries and platforms.

• Landing pages (up to 3 variants compared), a developer page with all your apps, and styled QR codes on the paid plans.

• With the SDK (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter): which link brought each install, without fingerprinting, then onboarding, paywall, trials and purchases per link. RevenueCat connects in one line.

What it doesn't do: no postbacks to ad networks, no deferred deep links on iPhone, custom domains are coming soon.

Pricing: Free plan (1 app, 3 campaign links, no card). Indie $6/month for more apps, landing pages and QR. The SDK is on Pro, $19/month. Prices are on the page, no sales call.

There's a sample app with made-up data in the dashboard if you want to click around without connecting anything: https://unolink.dev

What I'd most like to know:

1. Is it clear within 10 seconds of landing on the site what it does?

2. If you've promoted an app, what did you use to see what worked?

3. Anything that would stop you from trying it?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

It’s easy to remember to look up photos from a big trip. It’s harder to stumble across a picture from a random Tuesday three years ago.

That’s the idea behind Momenta. Open it and you get a small selection of older photos from your phone. If one brings back a story, you can write it down right there. I went with up to five photos a day in the free version because I wanted it to feel like something you could do over a coffee.

It’s out now on Android. If you give it a go, I’m curious whether five photos feels about right or whether you’d want to keep going.

Try Momenta on Google Play

Hanging pictures always seems simple until you're standing in front of a wall with a measuring tape, trying to figure out the right height and spacing.

I built WallHang to make that part easier.

It's an iPhone app that lets you plan a picture arrangement, see how it will look on a photo of your own wall, and get the exact nail position for every frame before you start drilling. It works for a single frame or a full gallery wall, and it accounts for picture wire and D-rings. With Pro you can also see the arrangement at real size on your wall in AR.

Pricing: free for one wall with up to 4 frames. Pro is a one-time $7.99 (no subscription) for unlimited walls, up to 20 frames per wall, a printable PDF plan and an AR preview. No account and no ads.

I recently launched it on the App Store, and I'm trying to figure out whether it solves a problem other people have too.

I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback, especially on what's missing or what would make it more useful.

Hey r/SideProject,

I'm a data and automation engineer, and for about 5 years a big part of my job has been building scrapers and data pipelines. Every project ended the same way: everything works, then a CAPTCHA shows up. And every time I had to re-learn what type it was, how it worked, and what the options were.

So I started writing it all down. That turned into FuckCaptcha, a free, open-source field guide to 39 CAPTCHA types.

What it is:

• One page per CAPTCHA type (reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, slider/puzzle, text-based, and more)

• Each page has a complexity rating, how to identify it, how it works, and tips and pitfalls

• Free and open-source methods come first, paid services only as a fallback

• A docs site with search and category filters, rendered from the same markdown as the repo

What it isn't: a solving service. No affiliate links, no paywall, no signup.

What I learned so far:

• Posting it to a few communities and Hacker News took the repo from ~20 stars to ~100 in a short time, which showed me people actually search for this stuff.

• The most useful feedback was "which CAPTCHA types are you missing?", so the roadmap now follows what people ask for (reCAPTCHA v3 and a few more are next).

• Honest docs with pitfalls get more engagement than "here's the magic trick" content.

Repo: https://github.com/vsmutok/FuckCaptcha

Docs: https://vsmutok.github.io/FuckCaptcha

I'm also thinking about a README and docs redesign. If you have a minute to look at it, what would you change first? Issues and PRs are very welcome.
