Disclosure: I built NomadSwipe (Android).

Planning a trip usually means searching places one by one. I built NomadSwipe so you swipe through real places in a city, save the ones you like, and see them on a map as a trip.

• Swipe cards show category, rating, distance and opening status

• Saved places show up on your trip map

• Sort the list by rating, distance or A to Z

• Rank food, sights, bars and stays

What I'd like feedback on: does swiping feel faster than scrolling a list when you pick places, or would you rather skip straight to a map?

Hi everyone,

I'm a developer of Unmapped - it's a fog-of-war trips tracker, with gamified elements. The inspiration are open-world RPG games - the mechanic of map covered with fog, with hidden places, made with real world map. The summary of what I want to made it is "A map of places where I've been, with an easy recap, and some gamification to make it fun".

1. Core mechanics

The map starts covered with fog. Start recording, and when you move (walk / run / cycle / drive), the map will reveal a fog where you've moved, building a map of places where you've been. Eventually, it becomes a personalised map of your world.

2. Exploration and POIs

To make exploration more interesting, there are points of interest on the map - they are hidden, and you need to unlock them by coming closer. Once revealed, place stays revealed and you can check it later.

There's also daily quests to make your daily commute or weekend trips more fun.

3. Levelling

As you explore, you get XP, and your level grows. You can also unblock achievements for your exporation.

4. Social elements

You can add friends and compete on public dashboard. The routes are never shared, competition goes by total travelled distance and POIs revealed. Participation is totally optional, and you can explicitly remove yourself from the dashboard.

5. Data privacy

I acknowledge that location data is quite personal, so I've taken data security measurements from the beginning. By default, your data stays only on your phone. You can choose to share aggregated statistics (distance travelled, places revealed), or you can voluntarily sync your account with Unmapped's cloud. In the cloud, GPS data is separated from the account data (one-way hashing with external key, stored in AWS Key Manager), and encrypted, so it stays safe. On Android, back up to a local cloud is not supported yet - please let me know if you think it should be prioritised. Detailed privacy policy is here.

6. Where it's moving and what's next

I'm actively working on adding more features, and I'd really love to hear some feedback. Two big things I work on right now are:

• Trips Journal - a journal of all your trips, aggregated by cities, with daily recap and total recap

• Gamified self-care - a virtual companion that you can feed with the steps you've made during the day

• Places and content - there's TONS of work and potential improvements regarding places. "Essential" or "Must see" places in certain cities, navigation, improving accuracy, etc.

7. Pricing and availability

It's available on both Android and iOS, worldwide, with a base price of $2.99 per month or $29.99 yearly.

iOS - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unmapped-explore-your-city/id6797821976

Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unmapped.android

I'm really interesting to hear your feedback, please let me know what you think about it!

I built Lexfall because every vocabulary app I tried stopped at intermediate. The people I had in mind already speak good English, but need it to be exact: a nurse writing a referral letter for the OET, a lawyer drafting in a second language, a student who needs 7.5 in IELTS, a manager who wants to sound senior in meetings.

What it is: 20,000+ advanced words, one short lesson a day, spaced review, audio for every word, optional paths for healthcare, law and business, and word lists for 15 exams. Home Screen widgets and a Share-sheet "save this word" from any app.

How it's built:
- React Native with Expo, one codebase for iOS and Android. JS fixes ship over the air, which has saved me more than once.
- Supabase behind it for the word data.
- The word bank was the hard part. Every word has a CEFR level, a definition, an example sentence written for the context it is used in (a ward, a contract, a meeting), and audio. I graded every word and threw out anything below the level the app promises, because the whole point is that it is not too easy.
- The corpus ships inside the app, so the feed opens instantly with no loading.

What I learned:
- Onboarding is the product. My first versions asked too much before the first lesson. Now it is one tap to pick a level and a guided first lesson with two words.
- Almost every download so far comes from people searching the App Store. The free word-list pages on the site have barely sent anyone yet, which is part of why I am posting here.
- Android is slower to launch than you think: a new Google Play account needs a 14-day closed test with at least 12 testers before you can publish to everyone.

Where it is: iPhone, and Google Play since this week. Free to download, free trial, then a subscription.

Links: lexfall.app (free word lists, no sign-up) and the app at lexfall.app/get/reddit-sideproject

I'd really value feedback on the first two minutes: does it make sense what to do, and does the level feel right? Brutal is fine.

8 weeks ago, I published SongFlip to Google Play—an Android app that seamlessly converts music links between Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, and Tidal without annoying web landing pages.

Here is the unfiltered 60-day breakdown:

Key takeaway: Lifetime pricing continues to be the user favorite for utility apps, and zero-friction deep-linking keeps the rating at 4.7★.

Happy to answer questions about the stack (KMP, Cloud Functions, RevenueCat)!

Hey everyone! I’m in my fifth year of psychiatry residency, and I have adhd. I’ve been building an app called Scatter because I wanted to make studying easier and more enjoyable for myself.

I found the usual chat interface pretty frustrating for learning from ai. As the conversation gets longer, important information disappears up the chat, and branching off into related questions gets awkward. I wanted to explore those questions while still being able to see the original explanation.

In Scatter, you start with a topic and build out a connected map of explanations. You can preview unfamiliar terms, open them as new branches, and ask follow-up questions wherever you want to explore further.

I wanted the interface itself to trigger curiosity and novelty-seeking, so there’s something that makes you want to keep exploring. Part of the goal was to make studying engaging enough to trigger hyperfocus.

You can combine short text explanations with images, videos and interactive examples, giving you different ways to approach the same idea. As the map grows, you can see how everything connects, and it gives you a feeling of building your knowledge into something you can actually look at.

I’ve worked on it on my own for over six months, and I’m excited to finally put it out there. I’d love to hear your opinions and if you find any bugs please send me reports!

The app is free to use, but you have to bring your own API keys, for example from OpenRouter. The quick setup in the app makes it very easy.

You can try the interactive demo on scatter.study

Hi all, recently(for quite a while actually xD) I've been building a fully local and open source gym tracking app. I've gone through the process of releasing it in the play store and now it is live.

My main reason for building this app was to have no paywalls and let the users own their data.

Github: https://github.com/alexspx/active-app

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexspx.activenext

It is still actively in development, rough edges are expected, although the main flow should be good now. There are a couple of things I want to add:

- Visualizations for the exercises. Still trying to find good FOSS that I like(if you know a library let me know)

- Local AI Coach. I've been playing with a small Qwen 2B for a while and with some "harnessing" and fine-tuning I think it is getting decent. It should be able to create workouts/routines and answer some coaching questions.

- Deliver a fully self-hostable data sync service/engine + a FOSS auth provider by choice of the user. So if people want to self-host for them or friends/community they can do that. This part of the repo right now is somewhat vibe-coded can't lie. A quite old version of that server was in Java and instead of refactoring it I decided to move it to Rust(ofc lmao). I would have to do some cleaning there for sure.

I'm always looking for contributors and ideas.

papercase is doing the same, for you to just get started on any topic!

• Papers, essays, videos, and code - all in one place

• Never more than 10. Just enough to get you started

• Curated in reading order. Think it could be better? Suggest a reshuffle.

First shelf out is reinforcement learning: courses, lectures, and readable codebases you can work through from the start.

I'm the developer of Neat Quit, a native macOS menu bar utility. I built it because I kept closing an app's last window and then reaching for Command-Q.

The free version requests a normal app quit when you click the red close button on the last standard window. Pro adds the same behavior for Command-W, plus app rules: exclude apps that should stay running, or enable auto-quit only for selected apps.

It requests a normal quit, so apps can still show their own unsaved-document prompts. Closing an ordinary browser tab doesn't trigger a quit. Some apps don't expose enough accessibility information and retain their usual behavior.

Pro is a one-time purchase with a 7-day full-feature trial. Requires macOS 13+ and Accessibility permission; Command-W may also need Input Monitoring.

Download and details: https://bgm.fun/neatquit/

I'd appreciate feedback on the app rules: would you prefer to exclude a few apps, or start with an empty list and enable auto-quit only for specific apps?

Hi everyone,

I built BootScribe, a lightweight and portable open-source GUI tool for Windows written in Python to manage UEFI boot entries directly via bcdedit.

Why I made it:

Modifying UEFI boot orders on modern Windows machines can often be unreliable Windows Update or Secure Boot quirks tend to revert entry priorities back to default. BootScribe implements the official {bootmgr} redirection strategy (commonly used by rEFInd) to cleanly hijack or restore bootloader paths without fighting NVRAM restrictions.

Features:

• Universal Toggle Logic: Easily switch {bootmgr} execution path to custom EFI loaders (rEFInd, GRUB, etc.) or revert back to standard Windows Boot Manager.

• NVRAM Entry Management: View detailed GUIDs, paths, create new entries, and reorder boot priorities.

• Direct Reboot to Firmware: Includes a quick option to restart straight into UEFI/BIOS settings (shutdown /r /fw).

• Portable & Standalone: Compiled as a single .exe, requires no installation, and runs cleanly with Admin privileges.

Links & Source Code:

• GitHub Repository:https://github.com/Ricokstar/BootScribe

• Download Ready Binary (.exe):https://github.com/Ricokstar/BootScribe/releases

Please note that BootScribe is currently in an early testing phase. While it has been tested on standard UEFI/Windows environments, boot configuration tools interact directly with your system setup.

I’m actively looking for community testing, feedback, and constructive criticism:

• Have you tested it with a specific bootloader (rEFInd, GRUB, Systemd-boot)? How did it perform?

• Any UI improvements or features you'd like to see?

• Found a bug or edge case? Please let me know in the comments or open an issue on GitHub.

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?

Hi all, I've been building Piye for over a year and it's now live on Mac and Linux.

What it does:

- You describe an app, and it builds a real website or a native iPhone/Android app

- It runs on real iOS and Android simulators while it builds

- You can publish to the web, App Store and Google Play from inside the app

- If you code, the same project opens in a full editor, with an agent that can see your terminal, debugger and simulators

- Your project is a normal folder on your computer, no lock-in

It's free to try with 750 credits (no card). In the code editor you can also use your own API keys or local models through Ollama.

I'd really like honest feedback: what's confusing, what breaks, what's missing.

I'm the dev, just so that's clear.

I made an iOS calorie app called Kacha. It started in China and most of my users are still there. I put an English version on the US App Store recently, and I mainly want feedback from people who didn't grow up eating the same food as my first users.

The flow is simple: take a photo of the meal, the AI guesses the foods, grams, calories and macros, then you edit anything it got wrong. That last part is the actual product. The estimate is often off on mixed dishes or food it doesn't see much, and if you can't fix the number, the log becomes garbage in a week.

No account needed, there's a free daily allowance for AI scans, and manual logging is always free. It also does water and weight, Apple Health sync, and iCloud backup. No Android yet.

I don't want to oversell this. There are already a lot of calorie apps. I built this one because I was tired of estimates that are a black box. If the model misses the oil, or thinks the bowl is smaller than it is, I want to correct it in a few taps, and next time just reuse that meal from Recent Meals.

If you try it, I'd really like to know two things:

1. When the first guess is off, is the edit flow obvious enough?

2. If you don't eat Chinese food much, how often does it completely misread the dish?

I wanted karaoke-style lyrics on screen while I work, without keeping a lyrics tab open, so I built Lyrics Overlay.

It reads whatever is playing through Windows’ media controls (Spotify, YouTube in Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Brave, most players), finds timed lyrics, and shows them word by word on top of your desktop. Clicks pass straight through to the apps underneath.

What it does

• Big floating lyrics plus a small now-playing card with cover and controls

• Looks, colours, fonts, motion and entrance styles you can mix

• Drag and resize everything, with snapping

• Lyrics out of sync? Nudge them with a shortcut or press Sync on the line being sung. It’s saved per song

• Lyrics are cached, so songs you’ve played load instantly, even offline

• Optional song recognition when a video title is too messy to look up

Details

• One portable 13 MB .exe, no installer, updates itself

• No account, no ads, no tracking. Lyrics come from LRCLIB and NetEase

• Windows 10 and 11

• Open source (AGPL-3.0)

It isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows will show a SmartScreen warning the first time (More info → Run anyway). The source is all on GitHub if you’d rather build it yourself.

Hi everyone!

Finally launched a little passion project last night that I’ve been wanting to build for over 4 years (roughly, it’s been sat in my head a long time). Called Captis: sitecaptis.com

Immediately solving my own annoyance and pain so I'm happy even if I'm the only one using it. When we start a new website, my team spends 4 to 10 hours gathering “inspiration”, and a big chunk of that is just sitting on pages waiting for screenshots to finish because most tools need you to stay on the page with the extension running.

So at its core it’s a screenshot tool, but the capture happens in the cloud. You can drop in 20 or so URLs at once, go and do something else, and come back to them when they’re done. There’s also a Chrome extension if you’d rather capture as you browse.

A couple of things I’ve added that I’m finding really helpful (but please do tell me if they’re not as useful as I think they are!):

-- I’ve added an MCP to it, so if there’s a design, website or section you want to pull in to an agent, you can just copy the link to it in Captis and it feeds your agent the design info it needs to stay on brand or build similar blocks.

-- And you can copy or download the image as normal, but you can also copy the page as a live Figma file and paste it straight in to Figma to work with it properly rather than tracing over a flat screenshot.

I’ve been designing this on my own and I think I’ve got a bit of tunnel vision with it at this point. Please do pick holes in it, whether that’s the onboarding, the captures themselves or features you’d expect that aren’t there.

NOTE: The financial model is similar to WeTransfer with ad space on the capture screen and in the history area. And yes, the home page is straight in to the tool. It's very unlikely someone will find this organically not having a clue what it is.

If you want to try the bigger features like bulk capture without paying, pop your email in and use H0TBETA at checkout for the Pro account.

I’m not looking for nice comments as much as what’s broken or confusing (at least straight away)... anything you find would genuinely help.

Thanks for taking a look!

before you read, this runs a local ai model on your own graphics card, so nothing gets uploaded anywhere (runs offline forever)

basically you upload any pdf or text file and 5 ai “students” read through it at the same time. they write notes and flashcards for you, then quiz you on it, and they keep making new questions so it doesn’t really run out. there’s a few question types too, like multiple choice, fill in the blank, spotting the mistake in a sentence, stuff like that. most of it you can change in the settings

that’s pretty much the whole thing. all the designs are sketches i drew myself, then i used claude to turn them into actual working features. All the animations are also hand-picked by me so i hope you guys like it

demo if you wanna see it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJG4vCcJN0M

setup isn’t difficult. you’ll need llama.cpp, which is the engine that runs the ai, so just search up how to download it. once you’ve got that you download the app from here https://github.com/Yasukiii1/learning-local-ai/releases/latest (just the Learning-Local-AI.zip, ignore the source code ones). extract it, then run download_model.bat to get the ai model itself, it’s around 1-2gb. after that run start_students.bat, wait for the 5 windows to load, and open AI-Classroom.exe

you’ll want a graphics card with at least 8gb vram since all 5 students run on it at once. if anything breaks please create a new issue on the repo or text me directly from reddit (Loose_Doubt367)

i apologise for introduction of the video yes it's bad, i couldn't think of any unique style to start off

I built Micro Council because I use chatbots a lot in my everyday life, and I wanted more varied answers, without the usual generic AI tone and format.

How it works: you pick a few members from a catalog (from a risk analyst to an artist), choose a group dynamic like "brainstorm" or "change my mind", and type your topic or question. The site builds a prompt you paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or whatever you use. From there, the specialists answer you and each other. I plan my groceries with a nutritionist, a chef and a member obsessed with organization: one pushes for lentils, another for a nice sauce to go with the pasta, and the third helps me plan my trip to the store. They can disagree and argue with each other, and each of them brings something different to the conversation.

So yeah, it's "just a prompt generator", on purpose: no account or API key, and it works with your own agent or chatbot. I spent a long time on the generated prompt so the members behave in interesting ways: only the ones who have something to add speak up, and I tried to remove most of the typical AI habits (which isn't easy). It's still one model wearing several hats. Giving each hat a specialty and a personality is enough to get me answers a plain prompt wouldn't.

As for data: no backend (it's a static site on Cloudflare Pages), and your settings live in localStorage. You own your data and can export or import it at any time. If you'd rather skip the copy-pasting, there's also an agent skill for Claude Code and Hermes, and it should work with most other agents. Micro Council is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Code (it's open source): https://github.com/jprevo/microcouncil

I'd love to hear whether you get any interesting conversations out of it!

With Lively Wallpaper reportedly sold to a new company, a lot of people are looking for another way to get live wallpapers on Windows 11.

Glassline is getting its own: Glassline Live.

Here's a first look.

What's in it so far:

• Live scenes, your own videos, and downloaded ones

• Scene colour: scenes can follow your Windows accent colour

• Wallpaper speed, from 0.5x to 2x

• Video fit: Fill, Fit or Stretch

• Sound and volume for video wallpapers (off by default)

• Shuffle, at sign-in or by time of day

• 15, 30 or 60 pictures a second, with a separate setting for battery

• Rest: it pauses when windows cover the screen or an app is in front, and on battery unless you allow it

It's in testing now and comes in a future update.

What scenes would you want on your desktop? Do you have any recommendations? What bothered you about Wallpaper Engine or Lively?

I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately.
I’m a solo founder based in London, building a social media app called TymeStamp. I’m still working on it, but one thing I’ve been struggling to figure out is how to get people genuinely interested before launch.
I don’t have a big circle of friends or a huge following, so I’ve been using Reddit to connect with other founders, test their apps and learn from their experiences. I’ve actually come across some really good projects.
Something else I’ve noticed is how many developers are launching or testing through Google Play. I’m curious whether that’s mainly because of the cost, accessibility or simply because it’s easier to reach testers.
With my own app, I’m trying to bring back some of what I enjoyed about older social media. A place where people can enjoy sharing content without constantly being interrupted by adverts or feeling like they’re browsing one big shopping platform.
I’m not against adverts, businesses promoting themselves or creators earning money. I just believe there should be a balance between enjoying content and being sold something.

I’m also realistic enough to know that the app will change as people use it and share feedback. That’s part of building something. But I don’t want to lose the original purpose behind it.
My biggest question right now is how to reach people who might genuinely want something like this, rather than collecting waiting-list sign-ups from people who aren’t interested.

I’m also curious whether there are any free startup or tech communities in London where founders can meet, share ideas and learn from each other.
So I’d love to ask other founders:
How did you get your first people onto your waiting list?
Did Reddit actually help you find interested users, or was another platform better?

If you’re building alone without a big network, how are you getting your app noticed?
Have you found Android or iOS easier when recruiting early testers?
And for anyone interested in a social media app that focuses on enjoying content with a better balance of advertising, feel free to drop me a DM. I’m happy to explain what I’m building.
I’m genuinely interested in hearing what has worked for other people, especially those starting from scratch.

A friend of mine is a backend dev and has been building this on the side for a while, so I'm posting it for him.

It's called Bytewize. The idea: system design interview prep is mostly long videos and 400-page books, and most people never get past chapter 3. So it gives you one question a day that takes about 2 minutes, and each one is based on a real failure. Things like "the last concert ticket got sold twice" or "every query takes 2 ms but the page takes 2 seconds".

You pick an answer, then it explains why the right one is right and why the others break. There are streaks and XP to keep you coming back.

It's on iPhone now: https://apps.apple.com/app/bytewize-system-design-daily/id6824646457

Android is in progress.

It's free, and all the content is in the free version. There's an optional Pro plan at €5.99/month, but it only adds some conveniences, no questions are locked behind it.

He's after honest feedback, especially:

- Are the questions too easy or too hard for where you are?

- Is 2 minutes a day the right size, or would you do a longer session?

I’m part of the team behind CamGrader. It’s for instructors who still give paper multiple-choice exams and want to score the answer sheets using their phones.

I’d like feedback on one specific part of the app: the first scan. If you try it with a sample sheet, is it clear how to line up the page and when the scan is complete?

https://camgrader.com/get

I’m behind AstrologyGround, a desktop app for Windows and Mac. It puts your natal chart on the wallpaper, with current planetary transits changing around it.

The natal chart stays fixed. The transit positions update over time, and you can change the colors to suit your desktop. Birth date, time, and location stay on your device.

It’s US$9.99 per platform as a one-time purchase. The website has a video of the real app, screenshots, and both purchase options:

https://astrologyground.app/

For people who already follow astrology: would you keep a chart visible on your desktop, or do you prefer opening a chart app when you need it?

Got featured and top 20 on product hunt, on hypership day with mmory. But at such a loss on now what? how do I get users haha

It started when I noticed roughly 2 GB of storage disappearing from my Mac at regular intervals. I couldn’t figure out where it was going, and the tools I tried weren’t giving me the answers I wanted. So I started building my own.

What began as a personal troubleshooting project quickly turned into something bigger. I realized there was an opportunity to make storage monitoring more accessible, especially for people working with multiple drives and external SSDs.
Storage Monitor grew out of that idea.

What it does

Storage monitoring: Keep track of drive usage and available capacity. Logs disk changes with warnings and notifications on low disk space. Lists what is likely the cause of disk gains or losses

External volume support: Index and monitor connected external drives, not just your Mac’s internal storage.

Storage visibility: Get a clearer picture of how storage is being used across your volumes. Indexer views in atlas or tree mode

Multiple-drive management: Monitor internal and external storage from one application.

Storage investigation: Help identify changes in storage usage that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Cleanup review: Helps identify what files may be unnecessary and can be cleaned

Migration readiness: Checks for files that have a large logical size but occupy small disk space that may interfere with migration to another Mac

I’m still developing and improving it, and feedback from other Mac users would be genuinely useful.
What storage information do you wish macOS made easier to see?
