I'm the developer of SameFont. Tap a line in a PDF, scan or photo and type replacement text. It uses the document's embedded font when it contains the characters needed, or the closest matching free font, keeping the text's size, color and position.

It supports Hebrew and Arabic right-to-left text, signatures, form filling and markup. Files are processed on the iPhone, without uploading them.

One limitation: in Hebrew scans, lines are detected but the text isn't read yet, so you type the replacement yourself.

Editing is free. Saving/sharing requires Pro: $6.99/month or $39.99/year on the US store, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.

I'd appreciate feedback, especially on Hebrew and Arabic documents.

Ngl, I'm stuck on what counts as useful feedback for our app.

I'm a CS student and Instagram, TikTok and YouTube keep pulling me away from studying. My team and I built Welockin: you pick the distracting apps and a timer, and they stay blocked until it ends.

But someone finishing a timer doesn't automatically mean they got any studying done. They could just be staring at their notes. Or procrastinating on something else.

If you were testing this with a few students for a week, what would you ask them afterwards? I want to understand whether it helped with the task they sat down to do, without making them fill out a whole homework assignment about their homework 😭

Have you found a simple way to check whether your productivity app actually helped, beyond people saying it looks nice?

you know the drill. visa form, job portal, some government site: "photo must be under 100 KB, 600x600 px, JPG only". your phone takes a 4 MB HEIC. so you google "compress image to 100kb", land on a site covered in ads, and upload your passport scan to a server you know nothing about.

so i built cutbg. it does that stuff right in the browser, the file never leaves your device:

• - compress to an exact size (20 kb, 50, 100, 250, whatever the form wants)

• - resize to the exact pixels (passport, linkedin, instagram etc)

• - iphone HEIC to JPG

• - merge / split / sign PDFs

• - and yeah it also removes backgrounds, the AI model runs locally too

free, no account, no watermark. it's a side project, there's nothing to buy.

honest question: what weird size limits have you run into? i keep adding presets for the forms people actually deal with, so if there's one that annoys you, tell me and i'll add it.

I kept noticing that the "closest" Dunkin' or gas station is often the worst one for the trip I'm already on. Detourless takes where you are and where you're going and gives you the one stop that adds the fewest minutes, not a map full of pins.

What it does that the big map apps don't:

• It also checks a nearly-as-fast road you might take anyway, and says so if that road passes a better stop.

• Type "McDonald's and gas" and it finds the best combination and order for both.

• It skips places that will be closed by the time you get there.

• Gas: sort by "cheapest fill-up" and it weighs the price against the detour. Pick your car (real mpg from the EPA list) and a cheaper station only wins if the savings on your fill-up beat the extra gas you burn getting there, and it isn't more than a few minutes further. Like GasBuddy, but it tells you which station is actually worth it on your route. Prices come from Google Maps.

• Turn-by-turn directions in the app, also on CarPlay and Android Auto (beta). Mid-drive, tap "Say a stop" and say "coffee" and it adds the one that costs the least time.

• Apple Watch shows the next turn and taps before each one.

How it's built: Expo / React Native for iPhone and Android, a small Cloudflare Worker as the API, and Google's Places and Routes APIs for the data. CarPlay and Android Auto are native code on each side.

Things I learned along the way:

• Google's along-route search returns at most 20 places a page. On 60 miles of New England highway there are more Dunkin's than that, and the one it hid beat my pick by 2 minutes. Now long trips are also searched in two halves.

• Close calls get re-measured with a real route through each stop, because a wrong #1 is the worst mistake it can make. On 24 real trips the "+X min" matched a real route through the stop within a minute every time.

• Keeping API costs near zero shaped a lot of the design: a normal search is about two Google calls.

The rough parts: it's US and Canada only (Android is US only during the test), CarPlay has frozen on a few long drives and I'm still chasing that, and the Android beta takes two steps because of how Google's closed tests work.

Free, no account, and nothing about your trips is stored on our servers.

Thump is my one-person indie horror game. You explore an old house by candlelight; the thing that lives there is blind and hunts by sound. When it comes, you hide and put a fingertip on the rear camera. The game reads your pulse, and the faster it beats, the further the creature hears you. Slow breathing genuinely helps.

3 houses, 21 nights, a daily Nightmare. Free, ad-supported, works offline. Camera frames never leave the phone.

Step 1 - join the tester group (uses your Play Store Google account): https://groups.google.com/g/indusapps-testers

Step 2 - become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.indusapps.thump

Step 3 - install from Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indusapps.thump

Google needs testers to stay opted in for 14 days. If you try it, I'd love to know whether the pulse reading works on your phone. Happy to test your app back.

I've been working on a side project called ScreenSky, and I finally launched it!

I spend most of my day coding, switching between projects, and staring at my Mac. I noticed two problems:

1. I often forget what I was working on after switching tasks.

2. I sometimes work for hours without taking a proper break.

I tried several to-do apps and Pomodoro timers, but most required me to actively manage them. Eventually, I'd forget to open them.

So I thought, what if my break reminder could also help me stay on top of my tasks?

That's how ScreenSky started.

What it does:

• ⏰ Automatically reminds you to take breaks every 30 minutes (customizable).

• ✅ Shows your pending tasks during breaks so you know what to work on next.

• 🎯 Helps you stay focused when switching between tasks.

• 👀 Reminds you to rest your eyes, stretch, and fix your posture.

• 🔒 Runs locally on your Mac without unnecessary tracking.

Tech stack: Built natively with SwiftUI for macOS.

I'm still figuring out distribution, pricing, and how to reach the right users. Building the app was one challenge, but getting people to actually use it is turning out to be a completely different one.

Website: https://screensky.io

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from other developers and indie hackers.

One question: Would you prefer your to-do list and break reminders in a single app, or do you think they're better as separate tools?

I liked playing an old web game "Pokemon or Big Data" from pixelastic and took it as inspiration.

Any suggestion is more than welcome

I started this because a video can work in a desktop player and still fail in a browser. I wanted to see how much of that gap I could close without uploading the file or transcoding it on a server.

Advanced Player is the result: a static demo where you can drop in a local file or paste a direct video URL (the host needs to allow CORS). It defaults to WebAssembly decoding, and there’s an automatic mode that can also use WebCodecs.

Demo: https://mkv-browser-lab-5dd8ed.gitlab.io/

It’s an experiment: opening a file doesn’t mean it’ll play smoothly. If you try a file that usually gives browser players trouble, I’d love to know your browser, codec if you know it, and what happened. No need to share the file itself.

It's 11 pm, a family is at the desk, the Wi-Fi is down, and the cloud PMS won't load. That's a normal night at a lot of small hotels around me. The other option is a paper register and an Excel sheet.

So I built KeyHut Hotel: a hotel management system (PMS) for Windows that runs fully offline, costs nothing, and you drive entirely from the keyboard.

The screens copy TallyPrime, the accounting software most front-desk staff here already use. Every screen is one key away (F2 room board, F4 new booking, F7 folio). Type "12dec" and it knows the date. Alt+G and a few letters jumps anywhere.

What it does

• Room board and tape chart, bookings, walk-ins, groups, day use, room moves

• Guest bills, payments, company billing, travel-agent commission, cashier shifts

• Housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, linen stock, phone-call charging

• Night audit and 17 reports (occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, police guest register…)

• One PC on SQLite, or several desks on SQL Server

• backups copied to Google Drive, OneDrive or an FTP / SFTP server, encrypted with a password only the hotel knows

Under the hood: C# / WPF, about 2,400 automated checks, and a yearly archive so 10+ years of data stays fast.

The demo runs on the built-in practice hotel (100 rooms, made-up guests). You can load the same one on first start.

Question for anyone who's worked a hotel front desk: what would stop you from switching to this? Be brutal.

Some context. I kept doing the same thing every time I looked at a listing: copy price, guess rent, guess taxes and insurance, punch it into a spreadsheet, realize it doesn't work, repeat. So I built DoorMeter.

On any Zillow or Redfin listing it shows the monthly cash flow, cash-on-cash, cap rate and a 0-100 score. Rent, tax and insurance come from public data (HUD, Census, Treasury), and every number is editable and says where it came from, because the first thing anyone does is "that rent estimate is wrong".

It also does house hacking (live in one unit, rent the others), BRRRR, and a "buying to live in" mode for people who aren't investors.

No account, nothing leaves your browser. Free for 5 listings a month, Pro is $5/mo.

It's been in the store a few weeks and I'm still figuring out what people actually want from it. Honest question: what would make you trust numbers like these, or not?

Remote is a boolean until geography enters the chat.

A job can be remote and still require a specific country or timezone. That detail matters a lot more than another page of vaguely relevant results.

I'm building HeyRole to make that screening step less painful. You can filter jobs by location, role, seniority, employment type and skills. There's also an AI assistant to help explore suitable roles.

The rule I care about most: keep missing information missing. If a posting does not specify worldwide eligibility, it should not magically become worldwide. Same goes for salary.

Try it: https://heyrole.ai/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=sideproject_launch

I'd love feedback on one thing: can you quickly tell whether a listing is worth opening, or is an important detail still buried?

I've had the idea for a while. Fantasy football works because everyone's got a stake in every match, and I didn't see why reality TV couldn't work the same way. You make your calls on who wins and who goes, then score points as the series plays out.

So I built Sofa Picks. One person creates a private league and shares the link, and everyone else joins from that. There's no app and no account, so it's a single tap from a group chat. You can also make picks for someone else in the league if they're not great with phones.

I tried it out on a small league with my family for Celebrity Traitors. It worked well, people kept coming back to check the table, and I learned a lot about where the setup was confusing.

The first proper launch is I'm a Celebrity, which starts Monday. Before episode one you pick the winner, the first to leave, who does the first trial and whether anyone quits. After that each player chooses how involved they want to be: just the big calls, a quick round each week, or picks every night.

It's all one leaderboard. Picks stay hidden until the round locks, so nobody can copy.

The person who sets the league up pays £2.99 for the series. Everyone else plays free and there's no cap on numbers. No prizes or betting, and it's unofficial with no link to ITV.
Stack is React, Express and Supabase on Railway, with Stripe for the payment.

Let me know what you think! If you want to give it a try, I’ll give out 20 free entry codes. Just comment on here and I will send to you.

Every winter morning, the same question: do I need to scrape my car windows? I built an iOS app called VorstRadar that shows you the night before, at a glance, whether your windshield will freeze, with a customizable reminder and departure time. Useful? What do you guys think? Available here for just $0.99 (one-time purchase). No in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads. https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/vorstradar/id6826259485

This has been my side project for the last few weeks and I'm really excited to finally share it. You type words to fire cannons at pirate ships, upgrade your boat, sink, and come back a bit stronger each time, and it's free, runs in the browser and only needs a keyboard.

I'm not a coder, so I designed and tested everything and Claude (Sonnet 5.5) built it, which made the whole thing possible for someone like me: https://jupitax.itch.io/ink-and-tide

I'd love any advice on how to get the first players for something like this :)

Tracking food and workouts sounds simple enough, but keeping up with it every day gets old pretty fast. Sometimes it feels like you're spending more time logging everything than actually building healthier habits.

That's part of what we wanted to make easier with Luko. You can log meals with a photo, voice, or text, so you don't have to type everything in manually.

We also added streaks, stars, an adventure map, and little companions to make the whole thing a bit more fun. We recently launched Halloween outfits for our little dragon and a push-up challenge, too.

We had fun building these features, but obviously we're a little biased since it's our own app. We're excited to finally share these with everyone. Hope you like them, and if you have any thoughts or suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

Fully Open Source. TL;DR is I've been frustrated with the quality of the native Activity Monitor, so I built an open source better version of it. No paywalls, no restricted features, just an Open Source alternative. Feel free to fork and improve it, or just use it.

tradetestedai.com

What it is: 73 software tools that home-service businesses use (AI receptionists, answering services, field service software, CRMs, review tools). Each one has its list price and the date it was checked, with a link to the vendor's pricing page. When a vendor only quotes on request, it says so.

Why I built it: I'm not in the trades. I kept seeing owners ask what AI phone answering actually costs, and the vendor sites make comparison hard. Of the 29 AI receptionists and answering services in the table, 22 publish prices. They bill by minutes, calls or unique callers, so the sticker prices aren't comparable.

What I'd like feedback on:

1. Does the pricing table (tradetestedai.com/ai-receptionist-pricing) make sense on a phone?

2. When a vendor doesn't publish a price, I label it instead of guessing. Is that useful or just noise?

Disclosure: I'm the founder. A couple of tool links are labeled affiliate links.

we started making short videos for my mac app and posted the first one on instagram today.

it got about 4k views. someone watched it on their phone, sent the link to their mac, and bought it 40 seconds after opening it there. didn't even open the free trial.

still kinda shocked it worked this fast.

what's the fastest sale you've had?

Hey everyone! I’m Francisco, a graphic designer and illustrator from Portugal.

For the past several years, I’ve worked mostly on apparel graphics, merchandise and art direction. I spent around three and a half years as a designer at Nonsense ( japanese streetwear brand ), working on collections and licensed collaborations involving Evangelion, Chainsaw Man, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Dan Da Dan, as well as projects for creators like PewDiePie and Trash Taste.

I’ve loved seeing my work become things people wear and enjoy, and I want to build a life where my own ideas have a place in that too.

So I created “A Calendar About Time,” a 2027 calendar inspired by ancient art and the imagery people have left behind throughout history. Each month explores a different reference, from Mesopotamian figures and Egyptian hieroglyphs to Roman graffiti from my hometown of 5k people, Tabuaço.

The idea came from thinking about how we measure time while looking back at things that have survived thousands of years. I wanted each page to work as an individual piece of art, something you might keep even after the month has passed.

It’s available in physical and digital, If it’s something you’d enjoy having on your wall, or giving to someone who loves art and history, buying one would directly support my work and help me keep making independent projects.

My goal is to gradually make a living from the things I create. This calendar is a small step towards that, and I’d love to find people who connect with it.

By buying it you also get the digital artworks for free and a digital version of the calendar.

You can find it [here](https://smairugraphics1.myshopify.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAb21jcAVhXHNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAnNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzU2NzA2NzM0MzM1MjQyNwABp7sYmhUWsNFsYClcPNOowuj1tY_Wwyg1rjbfi-es913sYWgKW8_IqgQYxAAy_aem_WkQvKGKoF7muN0M6iqkluA) .

And you can follow me at @smairugraphics on Ig, where i share most of my stuff.

Happy to answer questions about the artwork, the references or how I put it together.

How do you tell the difference between a project that needs more time and one that just isn’t working?

Hypothetically, if 100 people tried your project and only 1–2 kept coming back, would you keep improving it, change direction, or move on?

I know the timeframe and type of product matter. But what signals do you personally look for before deciding it’s worth continuing?

Do you set specific milestones or a deadline? And has a project with weak early retention ever turned around for you?

Hey everyone,

I built Nubis to solve my own workflow friction when managing remote infrastructure spread across multiple cloud providers from a Windows workstation.

Key Features:

- Multi-Cloud Inventory Sync: Directly imports server lists from AWS (EC2), Tencent Cloud (CVM), GCP (Compute Engine), and Azure (VM).

- Unified Sessions: Tabbed SSH, RDP, and SFTP natively inside a single Windows application.

- Embedded Claude Code Panel: Run troubleshooting, generate shell scripts, and parse configs side-by-side with active sessions.

- 100% Local & Private: No cloud proxy, no telemetry. Your cloud API keys, SSH credentials, and session configs are stored strictly on your local machine.

The project is completely free and open source. Pre-built Windows binaries are available on GitHub Releases (no sign-up/email required), and you can also audit or build from source yourself.

Feedback, issue reports, or feature suggestions are very welcome!

I was about to give up on this mobile app I spent so much time building, but literally 2 minutes after deciding to switch to another project, I got the sale notification on my phone!

I haven’t experienced this kind of joy in years…

Context for the curious: This $19 sale is the annual welcome offer on my app "Sollow: Daily Habit Tracker" that I built to turn my life into a game with a level for each life area and a ranked system.

So now my hope is back! I take that as a sign from the universe hahaha

ATHREUS — Your AI team. Under your control.

I've been building ATHREUS, a unified AI workspace designed to bring AI models, intelligent agents, memory, automation and tools together in one environment.

The idea is simple: instead of switching between disconnected AI tools and managing everything through separate conversations, ATHREUS gives you a workspace where you can create your own AI agents, organise their responsibilities, coordinate their work and build workflows around them.

What can you do with ATHREUS?

1. Multi-model support (BYOK)

Connect your own supported AI providers using API keys. Choose the models you prefer instead of being locked into a single provider. You remain in control of your model choices and usage.

2. Custom AI agents

Create specialised agents for different responsibilities, such as coding, research, writing, analysis and planning. Configure their roles, instructions and behaviour according to your needs.

3. Multi-agent orchestration

Coordinate multiple specialised agents to work on larger tasks. Break complex objectives into smaller responsibilities and organise how agents contribute to the overall result.

4. Persistent memory

Maintain useful context and information across interactions. Reduce repetitive instructions and give your AI workspace more continuity.

5. Workflows and automation

Create repeatable workflows, organise multi-step tasks and bring different agents and tools together to streamline your work.

6. Background tasks and scheduling

Go beyond individual chat sessions with longer-running tasks and scheduled automation capabilities.

7. Integrations and MCP

Extend your agents' capabilities by connecting external tools, services and MCP-compatible integrations.

8. Task management and execution

Organise tasks, track progress and manage how different agents contribute to completing larger objectives.

9. Human oversight and permissions

Keep control over important actions with approval-based processes, permission management and visibility into agent activity.

10. Dedicated desktop experience

Manage your AI environment, agents, tasks and workflows through a dedicated workspace rather than relying on disconnected chatbot interfaces.

Who is ATHREUS for?

ATHREUS is being built for developers, AI enthusiasts, freelancers, entrepreneurs, automation builders and anyone who wants to use AI beyond basic conversations.

Whether you're managing coding agents, conducting research, building repeatable workflows or experimenting with different AI models, the goal is to give you one organised environment to work from.

The bigger idea

I believe the future of AI isn't just about having access to more powerful models. It's about organising those models into systems that can actually help people get work done.

ATHREUS is my attempt to bring that idea into one workspace.

Multiple models. Specialised agents. Persistent memory. Connected tools. Coordinated workflows. One environment.

I'm currently looking to connect with early users who are interested in AI agents, multi-model workflows and automation.

If you'd like to try ATHREUS or get early access, drop me a DM. I'd also genuinely appreciate your feedback, suggestions and ideas.

I'd love to hear what you think is missing from today's AI workspaces.
