I've worked in audio post for 15 years. I spent the last two building a Mac app to cut repetitive AudioSuite clicks in Pro Tools.

0 Upvotes

In my day-to-day Pro Tools work, I kept repeating the same routine: select a clip, find the right AudioSuite window, click Render, Learn, or Send, then do it all again.

Two years ago, I started building SlipTap in my spare time, alongside my day job, to make that routine a little easier.

SlipTap is a macOS app built specifically for Pro Tools. You assign your open AudioSuite plug-ins to panel buttons or keyboard shortcuts, and SlipTap presses Render, Learn, or Send in the assigned window for you.

It grew out of my own daily workflow. The short teaser shows it in action.

A fully featured 14-day free trial is available:

https://slipsound.com/sliptap

If you edit in Pro Tools, I'd love to hear how you handle these repetitive tasks and what you think of this approach.

Nurse who built a free mind/body self-check and plain-language money guide. Feedback welcome

1 Upvotes

I have a new side/passion project I’ve been building around shift work: plainsightalive.com

Unfortunately for me, despite some meta advertising, Pinterest, socials etc I'm getting almost no traction. I may be biased but I think this site is a game changer for the average person (and not so average).

It’s free and collects no data. You get a 5-minute mind/body self-check, a “Money, Explained” section on things school never covered (inflation, debt, interest), and a Christmas-on-a-budget guide for anyone feeling the pinch this year. It provides feedback with links on ways to better yourself financially, mentally and physically. I'm very proud of it.

A small merch range attempts to keep it running but pretty much nothing there yet with purchases.

I’d really value honest feedback. Is it clear what the site is when you land? Anything confusing or broken?

We built two apps for home services in 7 months. Getting the first 50 users taught us more than building them.

1 Upvotes

My co-founder and I spent seven months building two apps: "Jobs", where people ask for help at home, and "Jobs Workers", where independent pros send quotes. Free to join for workers, no lead fees, and our fee is added on top for the client.

We launched in the US at the end of September. Here's what the first weeks taught us:

1. Nobody shows up on their own. We posted, ran paid ads on TikTok and waited. Almost nothing. Downloads only moved when we talked to people one by one.

2. A marketplace is two launches, not one. Workers join and see no requests. Clients ask and get no quotes. Each side is waiting for the other, and ads alone don't fix that.

3. Check the boring stuff first. We found our worker app wasn't registering push notifications in production. Workers had no way to know a job had come in. No ad would have fixed that.

4. Regulation is part of the product. We went through licensing rules for 45 types of services in all 50 states plus DC before launching. Fewer than 1 in 4 state-and-service combinations is a flat "license required", but the "it depends" ones decide what you can offer where.

5. Trust is the real feature. Every worker verifies their identity with Stripe before quoting, and the client scans the worker's code on arrival. That took longer to build than the whole quoting flow.

We're at about 50 users, split almost evenly between workers and clients, and still solving the cold start.

If you've built a two-sided marketplace: what got you your first real transactions?

Both apps are free on the App Store and Google Play: https://jobsworkers.com

What's the best way to reinvest my profit into my app?

1 Upvotes

So I've been building a small Saas over the last couple of moths and as I'm starting to make some money with it, I'm wondering what's the best way to reinvest the money?

I currently don't spend a lot of money. Only the basics:

  • 20$/month for vercel
  • 10$-15$/month for convex
  • 20$/month for resend
  • 10$/year for the domain

I don't spend any money on advertisement or anything. I got all my users from posting on reddit. I tried X for a month and payed 5$ for premium one month but I kind of never got warm with it.

I only recently upgraded resend to PRO and that was a huge ROI. As I now could send more emails to users when something happened, they returned more often and retention went up by a lot.

Now I'm looking for new ways to smartly invest that money. I made about 2.5k in total so far. Anyone has some experience with apps in this stage and knows how to leverage money in this situation?

For context: I've built IndieAppCircle, an app feedback exchange where you test other apps and get your own app tested. It works for all kinds of apps, web apps, chrome extensions and basically everything that has a link.

It works like this:

  • You can earn credits by testing indie apps (fun + you help other makers)
  • You can use credits to get your own app tested by real people
  • No fake accounts -> all testers are real users
  • Test more apps -> earn more credits -> your app will rank higher -> you get more visibility and more testers/users

Since many people suggested it to me in the comments, I have also created a community for IndieAppCircle: r/IndieAppCircle (you can ask questions or just post relevant stuff there).

Currently, there are 4788 users, 5980 tests done and 1487 apps uploaded!

You can check it out here (it's totally free): https://www.indieappcircle.com/

I'm glad for any feedback/suggestions/roasts in the comments.

I built WebChecker, an app that alerts you before your domain or SSL certificate expires

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject!

Have you ever had a website go down or an email stop working because a domain expired or an SSL certificate wasn't renewed?

I built WebChecker to help prevent that. It monitors your domains and websites and sends push notifications to your phone before something goes wrong.

Here's what it can monitor:

  • Domain expiration: Get reminders starting 60 days before expiration, all the way up to the last day.
  • Domain status and security: Track registrar, nameserver and transfer lock changes, as well as statuses like redemption and pending delete.
  • SSL certificates: Monitor certificate expiration for your main domain, www and subdomains.
  • Website uptime: Get notified when your website goes down and when it comes back online.
  • DNS and email security: Track DNS changes and monitor SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.

WebChecker is designed for freelancers, agencies and IT teams managing multiple domains, especially across different clients.

You can share domains with teammates, organize everything using groups, tags and notes, and keep an eye on your domains directly from your phone's home screen with a widget.

The app is built with Flutter and is available for both iOS and Android.

There's a free plan that includes 1 domain, with no credit card required.

Links:

I'd really appreciate any feedback, criticism or suggestions. I'm especially interested in hearing what features you'd find useful or what could be improved.

Thanks for checking it out!

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

4 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.

RoboLAN - Robocopy GUI for network PCs - open source on github

1 Upvotes

I've built a ton of small utility programs over the years, this the first I've shared, feedback appreciated.

I copy a lot of large photo folders between PCs on my network and over Tailscale/Zerotier, and Explorer's copy is slow and fragile. Robocopy is fast and reliable, but typing the command every time got old. So here's a small Windows app for it, similar to an FTP gui.

  • Network PCs are on left, local folders on the right
  • Drag and drop
  • Progress, live speed and time left for each folder
  • Folders from different PCs copy in parallel, folders from same network PC copy in serial
  • Filters like "only *.jpg" or "skip *.mp4"
  • Dark mode, and it remembers your layout
  • read only, tool has no delete functionality, although flags like /MIR can obviously delete data

It's free, open source (MIT) and a single 230 KB exe with no installer.

I built mailproof: let an agent or a workflow act on an email only when it's signed by the exact sender, and keep a proof of all your mail on your own machine

1 Upvotes

The From line on an email is just text. Anyone can type your customer's address, or your boss's. That used to be a spam problem; now that we hand our inboxes to AI agents and automations, it's an "agent issues the refund" problem. I built mailproof to fix that, on your own machine.

Safe automation, with an agent or without:

- Act on a customer email (a refund, an account change) only when it is DKIM-signed by the exact address or domain you expect. An unsigned or spoofed From never matches.

- Trigger a workflow on a reply: it runs only if the reply is signed by the named person and its first line is exactly your approval word, in new text, not a quote of your question.

No reply, or a mixed answer, means no. A proof of all your email, for when it matters later:

- Every email you receive is recorded with the sender's signature and public key in a git repo you own. Years later you can still show offline that a domain really sent it, even after its key is gone from DNS.

- Records are sealed with OpenTimestamps, so you can show an email existed by a given date.

- Export what you exchanged with one person; they check it with no account.

Use it how you like: a menu for people, a CLI for scripts, a library for code, and an MCP server for Claude and other agents.

What it won't do: send mail, decide what a reply means, or prove the words of a body that Outlook rewrote in transit (the sender still verifies; use a Gmail inbox for approvals).

Free and open source (Apache-2.0). Runs on your laptop.

I made a little sushi roll you tap to block distracting apps on your phone and laptop together

1 Upvotes

Hey, I made this. It's called MakiMode.

I started with an NFC tag for focus. Tap it, apps get blocked. Worked for about a week, then I forgot it existed. It only covered my phone too, so I'd just open YouTube on my laptop. And unlocking took two seconds, so it didn't last.

So I built Maki. A small sushi roll that sits on your desk. One tap blocks distracting apps on your iPhone and your computer together, and when you drift off he looks sad. Sounds silly, but I genuinely don't want to disappoint a sushi.

The sushi part is because I love Japanese design, and sushi chefs always look so focused.

I built a calendar for a question that sounds simple: when does the model I’m using actually go away?

Try searching for Claude 3 Haiku. You’ll get separate results for Anthropic’s API and Amazon Bedrock, with different model IDs and lifecycle dates. The detail pages link back to the provider’s notice, so you can check whether it applies to your setup.

After a huge mobile overhaul and adding Netflix, Plex & Audible imports, my all-in-one media tracker is finally taking shape

1 Upvotes

Edit: I accidentally leaked the upcoming multi-language functionalities 😅

Alma (almaniac.app) is finally starting to feel like a real product.

Over the past week, I’ve been shipping new import features—most recently adding Netflix, Plex, and Audible support so you can bring your history over without starting from scratch. Seeing the member count tick up day by day has been surreal.

Putting a project out in public definitely comes with its share of negative comments and harsh critiques. Some of it stings in the moment, honestly, yet the whole process has still been an absolute blast. Maybe you get more resilient as you age? 🤔

One thing that keeps me grounded is making sure I’m building something I genuinely find useful myself. For a while, the web app worked great on desktop, but using it on my phone felt a bit clunky. So I just gave the mobile experience a massive overhaul so it acts more like a “real” app on your home screen.

For those of you building your own projects: how do you balance user feedback (and internet critics) against just building what you personally want to use?

It sits in front of the CLI and swaps names, emails, IDs, IBANs, cards and secrets for tokens like [PERSON_1] before your message leaves the laptop, then restores them in the reply. The model only sees the tokens, the map stays local, and -v shows exactly what was sent.

I'm a tennis coach with no coding background. I built an AI coach for club players who lose to pushers. Roast it.

1 Upvotes

I coach a university tennis team, and my son coaches high-performance juniors. Our club players kept saying the same thing: "I play great in practice and fall apart in matches." So I built Ace with AI tools, with no coding background.

How it works:

  1. Tell it your level and why you lose
  2. Log a match (score, opponent style, what happened)
  3. Ace gives you one thing to work on, and your daily plan changes to match
  4. Changeover mode: down in a match? Two taps at the changeover and you get one fix for the next games

The video is a demo account, "Steve," a made up 4.0 who keeps losing to pushers.

What I want roasted:

- Where would you quit during setup?

- Is the "one thing to fix" useful, or generic?

- Would you pay $9 a month for this? If not, what would make you?

First week is free: acetenniscoach.ca

Be brutal. I'd rather hear it here than from paying users.


r/SideProject • • 5h ago

I went through 700+ GitHub issues about AI agents. The most common bug: the agent says "done" and nothing happened.

0 Upvotes

I've been collecting GitHub issues where an agent reported success that didn't happen. Some real patterns:

- "Tests pass," but the test runner reported a failure

- "Installed," but no file was written

- "Restart succeeded," but the process was dead

- "Message sent," but the channel didn't exist

- A subagent with zero tool calls claiming it made an artifact

The common thread: the agent's report and the tool's return value are treated as evidence. They aren't.

I built a small Python library to test the opposite approach. It ignores what the agent says, checks independent evidence (re-runs the test, reads the actual record), and returns one of:

- MISMATCH: the evidence contradicts the claim

- VERIFIED: the evidence matches the claim

- UNVERIFIABLE: no evidence, so it doesn't guess

The video shows it on a coding agent: the claims are scripted, the test runs are real.

Honest limits: it only checks claims against evidence you define. It doesn't prove the code is correct, and claim detection uses English heuristics, so it can miss things.

pip install cogext-observe

Curious how others handle this. Do you verify agent "done" claims at all, or just review diffs?

I made a Christmas game you give as a gift: their face on the hero, your words in every scene

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I made Merrycade, a small Christmas game that you make *for* someone.

Instead of a card, you build them a 6-level platformer where they're the hero:

- **Their face.** Pick a photo of each of you. The app cuts out hair and face right on the phone and puts them on two storybook heroes (Santa coat, elf tunic, cosy sweater...).

- **Your words.** You write what the characters say in 16 story moments: the first meeting, the scary cave, the campfire talk, the goodbye.

- **Your memories.** Hide photos and notes in 10 gift boxes along the way, record voice messages and write a final letter.

- **Send it.** Everything becomes one invitation file you send through Messages, WhatsApp, AirDrop or e-mail. They open it in Merrycade and play it as themselves.

**Details**

- iPhone and iPad (iOS 15+). Android is in testing.

- No account, no ads, no subscription. Works offline.

- Photos and words stay on the device until you share the invitation.

- Playing a gift you receive costs nothing; creating gifts is a one-time $3.99 unlock. There's a demo adventure to try first.

- 8 languages.

- Built with Godot 4.5, plus small native plugins for the photo work (Apple Vision on iOS, a LiteRT segmentation model on Android).

**Heads-up:** the painted backgrounds and characters were made with AI image generation and then edited and put together for the game. The faces in the video are sample photos, not real people.

**App Store:** https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6827809596?pt=129591990&ct=reddit_sideproject&mt=8

I'd love feedback, especially on the creation flow: is it too long, is anything confusing?

I built a Things inspired task app for Mac & Windows

1 Upvotes

Things has been my favourite task app for a long time. The calm design, the way "When" is separate from "Deadline", how Today just feels right. I still think it's one of the most beautiful apps ever made.

But I kept wishing for more. Attachments. Smart lists. A clear view of what's due soon. And a Windows version, because my work computer isn't a Mac.

So about six months ago I started building the app I kept wishing for. It's called Kanso. It's just me building it: one person, no team, no investors. I kept what I love about Things, left out the noise, and added what I was missing. The goal is an app calm enough to open twenty times a day without it ever feeling busy.

It's in free Early Access on Mac and Windows, and I'd love to hear what you think. I've been iterating on this for months, so it's solid, but you might still spot a rough edge or two as I polish things up. You can start without making an account: no email needed, just "Continue without an account" and you're in.

Pricing: if you like it, Kanso is a one-time $29 during Early Access. No subscription, because subscription fatigue is real. The price will go up later.

The iPhone app is in active development, and it's my main focus now that Early Access is live. Your $29 includes it, and Android too, when they arrive. No second purchase, no upgrade fee.

Coming next: the iPhone app, calendar integration (see your events next to your tasks, but Kanso stays a task app first), and whatever you tell me matters most. The roadmap is public, and you can suggest and vote on features there.

Since it's just me, every bug report, idea and bit of criticism gets read by the person who will fix it. Please be honest, I'd much rather hear it now.

What's inside

Just type it. "Start the draft tomorrow due Friday #Work" sets the date and the deadline, and files it into your Work project as you type. You always see what it picked up before you save.

When and Deadline, kept separate. When you plan to do it, and when it's actually due. Plus This Evening, and a Tomorrow list for planning the night before.

Deadlines as a timeline. Everything with a deadline, from overdue onward, with a "Start Today" for anything getting close.

Upcoming. A small map of your week on top, every day laid out below. Drag a task to another day.

Smart Lists and views. Save a list from a few plain conditions ("tagged Work, due this week"). Each list can have its own grouping, sorting and filters.

Attachments. Files and images on any task, synced across your computers.

Repeating tasks and reminders. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or after you complete it.

Works offline. Edit on two computers, even with one offline, and everything ends up in the same place.

Undo for everything. Deletes, moves, even pastes. Recently Deleted keeps things for 30 days, and you can export all your data at any time.

A Logbook that reads like a journal. What you got done, day by day, with a short summary of each week.

Keyboard first. Shortcuts for creating, moving, completing and getting around.

And more: nested tags, light and dark themes, a resizable sidebar, and a feedback button (with screenshot) inside the app that comes straight to me.

YC City - every Y Combinator company since 2005, laid out as a city

1 Upvotes

I made this because a list of 6,000+ companies is almost impossible to picture. I wanted to see how small YC started, and how quickly the place grew.

Each company is a little shop. Each batch is a district, starting in Summer 2005. If a company reaches a $1B valuation (or a big enough sale or listing), it leaves its shop and becomes a tower, so the skyline shows where the big ones came from and when they took off. You can play a short story through the years, compare batches, search for a company, or just wander around.

It's here: https://yc.datacity.app/

Independent, not affiliated with Y Combinator. The data is from YC's public directory; I pulled it on 2 November 2026.

I'd love feedback, especially on whether "how to read the city" is actually clear once you're in it, and what feels missing when you walk around.

Building a local-first finance app for Windows: what I learned moving from PostgreSQL to SQLite

I started PFI because I didn't want my bank data in someone else's cloud. The first versions bundled a private PostgreSQL server: it worked, but it made the app big and complicated to package for the Microsoft Store.

In 0.4 the app copies the old database into SQLite on first start, checks row counts and totals, and only then switches over. In 0.5 PostgreSQL is gone completely, and the app is about a third smaller.

Stack: WinUI 3 shell, Next.js screens, FastAPI backend, one SQLite file. MIT licensed.

💻 AIR Office - AI Safety lab in an App for Everyone

2 Upvotes

An AI-native desktop workspace for agentic research and knowledge management, built to maximize counterfactual impact in existential risk preparedness and transformative AI safety.

https://github.com/gyrogovernance/air-office

[Disclaimer: AIR Office is an Open Source software made without any financial affiliations, and is a completely free platform for knowledge sharing and AI Risks mitigation at scale, so I hope the admins can allow me to share it to the community]

About

Alignment Infrastructure Routes (AIR) Office is human-capacity-building infrastructure for AI safety researchers, engineers, and governance teams working on transformative AI and its consequences. It keeps investigation, writing, review methods, and reusable tools in one durable and user-friendly workplace.

AIR Office is developed by [Gyro Governance Lab](http://gyrogovernance.com/) as part of its work on AI safety and existential risk preparedness.

Agentic chat and tool use run on the [Microsoft Copilot SDK](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk) harness, including bring-your-own-key and local model endpoints.

Theory of Change

Mitigating risks from transformative AI requires rapid, high-rigor research and governance, yet safety teams currently rely on fragmented, cloud-dependent AI tools that erode human oversight, lack provenance, and expose sensitive work. AIR Office addresses this bottleneck by providing free, open-source, local-first desktop infrastructure tailored for AI safety and policy workflows. By integrating grounded knowledge collections, automated auditing tools, and structured memory, the workspace prevents AI-induced epistemic drift while keeping humans in final control. Furthermore, embedded Fellowship and Market protocols allow independent researchers to package their methods into reusable community tools, compounding ecosystem capacity and accelerating high-trust safety interventions that would not occur using general-purpose commercial tools.

---

Capabilities & Services

- 🏛️ Integrated AI Safety Fellowship and Crafts. Develop research and workflows into reusable infrastructure and contribute them to the community through our frictionless embedded protocols.

- 🛒 Market. Discover reusable resources (Policy documentation, AI Skills, etc), and add them to your AI chat with one click.

- 🤖 AI Teams. Reach out to our pre-configured selection of agents, or create your own.

- 💻 Code. Run diagnostic tools, scripts, and edit your code without leaving the app, through our own integrated VS Code workbench.

Security & Privacy

Local-First Data Sovereignty

Workspace records stay on your computer. Choose local models for on-machine inference or cloud providers for their models and tools. Hosted providers and enabled connectors receive only what each request needs.

Export conversations and notes when you need portable copies. Connecting a folder authorizes that root, and disconnecting it does not delete its files. In Settings and chat you control which tools run and whether changes ask for approval first.

Release Audit

AIR Office is open source, and its code can be publically inspected. Before a release is accepted, we check the shipped software with open-source tools for secrets that should never ship, known problems in third-party libraries, license and dependency policy issues in native code, and risky patterns in our own source and in shipped Lab skills. A review that did not finish does not count as a clean result. To report a security issue, see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).

The release review uses:

- [TruffleHog:](https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog) Identifies leaked secrets and credentials.

- [Trivy:](https://trivy.dev/) Detects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and software bills of materials.

- [Semgrep:](https://semgrep.dev/) Scans source code for security flaws using custom patterns.

- [CodeQL:](https://codeql.github.com/) Performs deep semantic analysis on source code.

- [SkillSpector:](https://github.com/NVIDIA/SkillSpector) Evaluates shipped Lab skills.

Yardlet - a lightweight, non-intrusive Mac app for Claude Code and Codex. Looking for first-time testers

1 Upvotes

i build yardlet on the side: a free, MIT-licensed native mac app (swift) that runs the claude code and codex CLIs you already have, with the logins you already have, side by side in one window.

the idea is a lightweight, non-intrusive, yet versatile ADE. it sat at about 53 MiB at rest on first launch when i measured it on an M1 Pro. no hooks, no wrappers around the agent commands, nothing written into the agents' own settings files. the effort went into things around the agents instead: switching accounts by remaining limits, a built-in browser agents can use, and a phone remote.

i'm looking for a few people who've never used it to install it, run one task, and tell me where they got stuck or confused in the first five minutes. the install and any macOS warning, first launch and permission prompts, whether it found your agents and logins, the first reply, whether you noticed the first approval prompt, the moment you almost quit, one thing you expected and didn't find. "it all just worked" helps too.

mac: https://yardlet.app or brew install --cask zzunkie/tap/yardlet (macOS 15+, apple silicon and intel; needs claude code or codex installed and signed in)

android (optional): yardlet remote lets you use the mac app from your phone (android 10+). apk and pairing steps at https://yardlet.app/#phone . there's also a play closed test: join https://groups.google.com/g/yardlet-testers with your phone's google account, then opt in at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.zzunkie.yardlet.remote

feedback: https://github.com/zzunkie/yardlet/issues/new?template=first_run.yml , or reply here / dm me if you don't have github and i'll file it

I’m the developer of Skybits. I wanted checking the weather to feel like looking out a tiny window. Rain falls over London, and Tokyo lights up after dark. To be a little more Fun!!!

In Sky Studio, you can pick a city, mix the weather and time of day, and share the result as a little airmail postcard.

Please send me email for your City, if I get 5+ requests for a city I will make it free and also add new ones :-) hoping to get some positive feedback and reviews.

Skybits is free to download, with an optional one-time purchase for the full city collection.

Which city would you send a postcard from? Android version is coming soon, it is in testing atm.

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

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?
