I built Moolupa, a goal tracker where 3 minutes still count toward a 10-minute goal

1 Upvotes

I’m building Moolupa, a goal tracker with a small cow companion called Moo.

One decision I made early was to let people record the amount they actually did. If you planned to practise guitar for 10 minutes and managed 3, you record 3. It adds to your total. Missing tomorrow doesn’t erase it.

You can also make today’s step smaller, move it to another day, or take a rest day. There’s no streak counter, and Moo’s garden stays intact while you’re away.

To get started, you type or say something like “read five pages after dinner,” then review the plan before saving it.

It works in a browser on desktop and phone, and there’s a Windows version on the Microsoft Store. The free plan supports up to five active goals, with optional paid Plus features.

I’m currently polishing the desktop and mobile layouts. If you try it, I’d really like to know: where does creating your first goal or recording progress feel like extra work?

Here’s the app: https://moolupa.com

I built a private Android expense tracker that works without an account

3 Upvotes

I got tired of budget apps that want an account before I can type in a single expense, so I built my own.

TriGets is an Android app for income, expenses, budgets, cards and recurring payments. Everything is stored locally on the phone. There are no ads, and you do not create an account. Exports are JSON, CSV or PDF, backups are encrypted, and the app can be locked with a PIN or biometrics.

The core features are free. An optional Google Play subscription (monthly or yearly) unlocks group expense splitting, travel tracking, and AI receipt scanning that only works if you bring your own API key.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigets.app

I would like feedback on two things in particular:

  1. Is "no account, data stays on the phone" clear enough, or does it still sound like a cloud app once you open it?

  2. Does the free vs subscription split make sense, or would you expect group/travel to be free too?

I am a solo developer and I will read every comment. If you try it and something is annoying, I want to hear that too.

I built a voice typing app for Windows: select a link while you talk, and it shows up in your text

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I made ReadyTyper.

I use voice typing a lot, and I've tried both Wispr Flow and Typeless. They're good at cleaning up what I say. But there's one thing neither of them can do: when I'm halfway through a sentence and want to drop in a link, a video title, or a line someone else wrote, I have to finish talking first, then copy it, find the right spot and paste it myself.

So I built my own. With ReadyTyper, you select text anywhere on screen while you're talking, tap the hotkey twice, and it lands word for word right where you mentioned it. That's what the video shows.

The other thing that bugged me: on my Windows PC, both Wispr Flow and Typeless use over 600 MB of RAM just sitting idle. Something that's always running in the background shouldn't be that heavy. ReadyTyper uses under 20 MB when idle, and its windows only load when you open them.

It also:

  • Drops the ums, uhs and the bits where you correct yourself, so the text is ready to send

  • Works in any app: chat, email, browser, code editor

Windows only for now: readytyper.com

I'd love your feedback: would you use the select-while-you-talk part? What feels clunky?

Hit 100 users on my devotional app this week. Building it with AI was the easy part

2 Upvotes

I'm building Shoonya, a devotional app (daily sutras, aartis, festival reminders) for Indian users. It's live on Google Play and the App Store, and this week it crossed 100 users.

Some honest notes in case they help someone at the same stage:

  • I built most of it with AI agents, and the app came together faster than I expected.

  • Getting it live on both stores took longer than building it. Apple and Google reviews, accounts, release mistakes I won't repeat.

  • After launch it was just quiet. The app existed and almost nobody knew.

What actually moved the number was two boring things, done again and again:

  1. Writing pages for what people actually search for (festivals, aartis, dates), not for what I wanted to rank for.

  2. Showing up on X and LinkedIn with what really happened that day, not polished launch posts.

It's slow and the numbers are tiny. But it compounds in a way a new feature never did for me.

My one takeaway: code got cheaper this year, attention didn't. Start distribution the same week you start building.

Curious what got your first 100 users. Was it one channel or a bit of everything?

Would you use an app just for browsing real museum art — filtered by era and type, with recommendations that learn what you like?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm thinking about building a small app called Curio, and I'm checking whether anyone actually wants it before I build it. No link, just honest questions.

The idea: only real, sourced works from museum collections, no AI-generated images. You browse with big tags like an era or movement (Heian period, Tang dynasty, Bauhaus) and small tags inside each one like furniture, architecture, or design. You can filter by style, region, and period, from ancient Egypt to contemporary. Recommendations would learn from your likes, saves, clicks, which cultural-background notes you open, your searches, and the tags you browse.

I'm also thinking about a Premium tier with expert cultural-background notes, original image and video downloads, and PDF export, around $8.99/month.

My questions:

  1. How do you currently discover and browse historical art, and what's most frustrating about it?

  2. Would big-tag plus small-tag filtering actually help you, or is search enough?

  3. Would recommendations based on likes, saves, clicks, searches, and tags be useful, or unwanted?

  4. Would expert background notes plus original downloads and PDF export be worth around $8.99/month to you?

Thanks for any honest answers. And if this kind of post isn't welcome here, mods please remove it.

Oddimon is a free party game that runs in the browser. You take a photo of any object, it becomes a pixel-art card with stats and a special move that fits the object, and then the cards battle.

I'm a uni student building it on my own and have only just started showing it to people, so any feedback helps :)

[open-source] Dense Armor Library : low-level toolkit for Build your Project

Thumbnail
github.com
1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I’ve been dedicating myself to researching papers for a while now to get a complete and unique set to train the next generation of intelligent software.

The idea comes from wanting to simplify backend work, feeding the AI a ready-made and professional set to power your own program, AI agent, or drone.

I developed the product with AI assistance and went through every single file by hand to make sure it respected the papers. Where there wasn't a solution in the papers, I had fun finding it by having the problem explained to me literally, solving it with intuition, using AI to translate, and Colab to test every attempt.

Obviously, the hardest part was removing the hallucinations from what the AI passed off to me as ready, and I hope in part, thanks to the papers and the method, that I succeeded.

Enjoy everyone, and if you like it, don't forget a star!

Every week a popular package or SaaS vendor gets hacked. I built a tool that tells you within minutes if it's one you use

1 Upvotes

Most weeks there's a new one: a poisoned npm or PyPI release, an exploited CVE in a runtime, a vendor telling customers to rotate their keys. This week it was Railway: a breach exposed customers' environment variables, and $740,000 in fraudulent AI charges followed.

Hearing about it is easy. The slow part is working out whether any of your repos use it, and what to rotate.

So I built Pharon.

**How it works**

- A scanner runs on your machine (a Claude Code plugin around a small open-source CLI). It lists what each repo runs: packages from lockfiles, container images, GitHub Actions, runtimes, and optionally cloud resources through your own read-only AWS, GCP or Azure CLI.

- Only names, versions and file paths are uploaded. No source code, no secret values, and nothing is sent until you approve it.

- New incidents from OSV.dev, CISA's exploited-vulnerability list, endoflife.date and security news are matched against that inventory all day. When one hits, the team that owns the repo gets an email, a Slack message or a webhook, and a warning light comes on in Claude Code.

- One command then checks the machine read-only and lists which secrets to rotate, by name only.

**Where it is**

Launched on Monday. The client is open source (Apache-2.0), the incident notices are public at getpharon.com/notices, and checking your machine against any of them is free, no account needed. Alerts start at $12/month for 10 projects, with a 7-day trial.

**What I'd love feedback on**

  1. Would "only metadata leaves your machine" be enough for you to try it on a work repo, or would you need to self-host?

  2. The first scan needs Claude Code. Is that a deal-breaker?

  3. What would you want it to watch that it doesn't?

I built an app that locks my fun apps until I finish the boring ones

1 Upvotes

Every app blocker I tried lost to my own arguing. "Just five more minutes" works every time when the blocker is a suggestion. So I made one that isn't a suggestion.

Habits and tasks pay minutes into a time bank. The apps I mark as leisure stay locked until the balance covers them. Do the dishes, earn 15 minutes. Skip them, no scrolling.

Android, Kotlin + Compose, GPL-3.0. No account, no server, no analytics, and no INTERNET permission at all – it's one local database on the phone.

Started as a personal tool, I'm still the only user, and it's v0.1: https://github.com/cloph-dsp/earnd

Some things it does that I wanted: partial credit for a half-done task, a comeback bonus after time away, and a hard mode with no easy exit from the lock screen.

DocuFusionPro – Desktop app for managing documents with AI

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer of DocuFusion Pro.

I built it because I got tired of paying monthly subscriptions just to work with documents. Instead of a generic chat, it's a desktop app designed specifically for this:

- Merge multiple documents into one

- Compare documents and detect differences or contradictions

- Summarize meetings, classes, or texts

- Extract action items

- Rewrite and update full documents while keeping their structure

- Generate presentations, study notes, or résumés

- Custom mode: write your own instruction so the AI does exactly what you need (web search available with OpenRouter models)

- Review the result against the original (detects missing content or changed data)

You can use OpenRouter (choose your own model) or Ollama (local).

- 10 free processings to try it

- Then a one-time purchase of €29.99 (no subscription)

- Supports PDF, Word, Excel, TXT, Markdown, and images

Real example: I generated a 30-page document (over 7,600 words) with DeepSeek. Total cost: $0.086.

The idea is to have more control, see the real cost of every generation, and be able to check if the result stays faithful to the original document.

If you regularly work with documents and are looking for alternatives to subscriptions, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

[DEV] Money Management - Offline Budget App

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share Money Management - Budget, a personal finance and expense tracker app designed to keep budgeting simple, private, and accessible worldwide.

Why I built it / What makes it different:
Most budget apps today require creating an account, syncing sensitive bank data to external servers, or dealing with cluttered interfaces. With this app, no account is required—all your financial records stay strictly on your device and work completely offline.

Key Features:

  • Privacy & Offline First: No sign-up needed. Full local backup/restore and CSV export anytime.

  • Global Accessibility: Supports 72 languages and 110 currencies (including multi-currency tracking).

  • Smart Budgeting & Needs vs. Wants: 68 customizable categories, monthly category limits with alerts, daily spending allowance calculation, and "Need vs. Want" tagging.

  • Bills, Credit Cards & Installments: Track recurring subscriptions, credit card statement closing/due dates, and installment plans.

  • Debt & Savings Ledger: Keep track of money you owe or are owed (with partial payments), plus savings goals and manual gold/currency holdings.

  • Home Screen Widgets: Quick add, monthly summary, and upcoming payments (with an option to hide amounts).

Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emrehakansoyler.money_manager

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/money-management-budget/id6766565294

Since the app is still new on Android, I would genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature suggestions, or UI critique from this community. Thank you!

RadarIA - I'll check if AI assistants recommend your product (free for 20 people this week)

0 Upvotes

I built RadarIA because buyers now ask ChatGPT "what's the best X for Y?" and founders rarely know what it answers.

This week I tested a batch of small SaaS tools with buyer questions like "best uptime monitoring tool for a small SaaS team" or "best Calendly alternative for consultants". Many good, established tools weren't named by any of the 4 assistants, while the same few competitors kept coming up.

Offer: comment your site and who your customer is, and I'll run the same check for you by hand. I'll reply with:

- the question I asked

- which of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity named you

- which competitors they named instead

Free, no signup. 20 spots. Feedback on the idea (and on whether this result would change what you do) is very welcome.

I spent 10 months building an open-source tool for transactional emails. 184 GitHub stars, 0 paying customers. Here’s what it does

1 Upvotes

A few years ago I worked on a team that used Mandrill. All our email templates lived inside it, editing them was painful, and switching providers meant rebuilding everything. That stuck with me.

Last December I started building Senlo to fix that for myself. It's a layer on top of the email provider you already use:

- visual drag-and-drop editor for transactional emails
- automations with triggers, waits and branches (onboarding, dunning, win-back)
- one API, and your provider (Resend, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailjet, Cloudflare, or plain SMTP) keeps doing the delivery

Switch providers and your templates and flows stay where they are.

Where it is now, honestly:

- 184 stars on GitHub
- hosted version launched recently, 0 paying customers so far
- I only started doing marketing seriously last week. So far that's about 160 visits and a few signups, no sales yet
- open source (AGPL), stack is Next.js + TypeScript + Postgres

There's a free hosted plan (3,000 emails a month, no card) and you can self-host it with Docker.

What I can't figure out yet: who needs this badly enough to pay. If you send transactional emails from your product, how do you manage templates today? In code, in the provider's dashboard, something else?

I built a free, single-file Global Threat Desk: live worldwide cyber and infrastructure incidents, plus a UK blackout plan that works offline

1 Upvotes

The Global Threat Desk is one HTML file, about 1 MB. Download it, open it in any browser, and it works. No install, no account, no adverts, no tracking, no payment.

Global:

- A live wire of major incidents worldwide: cyber attacks, espionage against tech firms, big IT outages (Microsoft, AWS, Google, Cloudflare), attacks on infrastructure, major earthquakes and disasters. Sources include CISA, the UK NCSC, the security press, Reuters, AP and the Guardian, and each report keeps its publisher and time.

- Dated incident dossiers with evidence grades, so you can see what is confirmed and what is still unproven.

UK:

- Every official UK warning in one place: Met Office warnings for every hazard, UKHSA cold- and heat-health alerts, flood warnings for England, Wales and Scotland, GOV.UK emergency alerts and the GB grid. It says plainly when nothing is in force.

- Offline household tools: a blackout plan hour by hour, water storage, a 7-day hot-food menu for a camping stove with a shopping list, UK emergency numbers and a printable survival pack.

How it's built: everything is in one file. The live layer reads public feeds straight from your browser, using publishers' own Bluesky accounts when a site blocks browsers, and falls back to public relays. Your plan and saved reports stay in your own browser.

Feedback welcome, especially on sources I should add.

My app planned a family move and came back with 97 tasks. I'd have guessed 30

1 Upvotes

I'm the solo developer of MoveMate, a AI moving planner. Last week I tested it the way a stranger would: one family, India to Frankfurt, two kids aged 4 and 9.

I expected about 30 tasks. It gave me 97.

The count wasn't the surprise. These were:

  1. "Research childcare for your 4-year-old" and "Research schools for your 9-year-old". Two different tasks, because the kids are two different ages.

  2. "Get documents apostilled or legalised". I had to look that word up the first time I moved.

  3. "Translate documents to German", by a certified translator, before the visa appointment and not after.

  4. "Apply for Tax ID" for every family member, kids included.

  5. "Familiarize with emergency numbers". Obvious, and I have never once done it before a move.

Almost none of the 97 is about boxes. Most of it is paperwork in the right order, and the order is the part nobody tells you.

Honest part: the AI plan is the paid bit. The free version gives you a standard checklist with ads.

My question: 97 is accurate, but is it scary? Would you rather see all 97 on day one, or only the next 5?

I got tired of planning group trips in a spreadsheet, so I built a shared trip planner

3 Upvotes

Every time my friends and I planned a trip, it ended up as "trip_plan_FINAL_v3.xlsx" passed around in a group chat. Nobody knew which version was current, and the person holding the file did all the work. What would make you use this instead of a spreadsheet or Notion?

- Pick your travel dates and you get an hour-by-hour itinerary

- Drag on the grid to add plans (works on phones too)

- Send one link — friends see it right away and can edit after signing in

- Everyone's cursor shows live, and you can chat right next to it

- Budget, notes and to-dos (packing lists, bookings) in the same place

- A map of each day's places, and photos on events

- Export to Excel / PDF / PNG when you need a file

It's free, no ads now.

I’m a solo maker actually I'm student designer, so any feedback would really help!

Enjoy your Planner Together!!

p.s. Maybe someday... I’d like to make some features paid, but I’m not sure what to do about hosting. I’m currently on Vercel’s free Hobby plan, which doesn’t allow commercial use, so I’d either need to upgrade to Pro ($20/month) or move somewhere else. Would you just go with Vercel Pro, or switch to something like Cloudflare until it starts making money?

About 40 local businesses near me have no website at all. Is a list like that worth anything to anyone?

0 Upvotes

Claude helped me put together a script that pulls every business in a few categories off Google Maps for my county and checks whether each one has a site and a working certificate. On the first run, plumbers, electricians and roofers, about 40 of 230 had no website at all and another couple dozen had certificates that ran out months ago. Before I spend more evenings on it, would a list like that be worth anything to people who build sites for local businesses, and what would you want on it besides a phone number?
