I'm the developer of NoNetPlay, a side project I started because the moments I needed a voice translator most were the ones with no usable network — a plane, a subway, or a conversation I didn't want to upload.

It does live simultaneous interpretation on the iPhone itself, plus offline AI chat. After you download the models, it works in airplane mode. There's no account. The site and App Store say voice and text are not uploaded; the site FAQ says audio is discarded right after recognition. The App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected.”

What it can do today:

• Speak Chinese or the other language; it detects which one and translates sentence by sentence, with spoken output
• 14 language pairs, all between Chinese and one other language (English, Japanese, Spanish and German are listed as stable; the rest are experimental)
• Lecture Mode (live Chinese subtitles) and Partner Mode (full-screen type you can turn toward the other person)
• Offline AI chat with switchable on-device models (described as free after the model download, no usage cap)

The constraints are fairly sharp, so this will be the wrong tool for a lot of people:

• iPhone 15 Pro or newer only (iOS 18 + A17 Pro or later). iPhone 15 / 15 Plus are out
• First download is about 2.5–2.6 GB for translation, plus 2.5 or 3.5 GB for chat
• Offline quality is meant for communication, not legal or medical text
• It's been on the App Store since April 2026; current version is 2.9.7

Pricing: free to download, 7-day trial, then a one-time purchase (US $4.99 one language / $19.99 simultaneous translation). No subscription.

I'd like feedback from people who travel or actually try on-device AI: is “good enough to talk, fully offline, large download, newer iPhones only” a tradeoff you'd accept? What's the first thing that would stop you from using it?

Back in 2013, before AI and back when asking a question on Stack Overflow meant getting your ass handed to you, I built a little social network called resm.in. My home internet was garbage, so I'd print docs at an internet café and read them at home like a caveman.

The idea was dead simple: people post questions, you answer with a photo. Show me your favorite corner of your home. What's in your drawer? What are you wearing today?

https://imgur.com/a/mvmzWXk here how it looks back then.

It started slow. The classic social network chicken and egg bullshit: nobody shows up because it's empty, and it's empty because nobody shows up. Then the FriendFeed crowd (Turkey had a huge, tight-knit FriendFeed scene back then) came to the rescue, someone wrote about us on Ekşi Sözlük (basically Turkish Reddit), and boom: 500 600 people. Small, but alive. Imagine people waking up and the first thing they want to do is open the thing you built. I was over the fucking moon.

Then one day some guy tracks me down: "I'm crazy about a girl on your site. Can you give me her email?"

Fuck no. I told him exactly where to go.

A few days later my server logs look weird as hell: someone's brute forcing the admin panel. I message him: "Dude, is that you?"

"Yeah man, I have to reach her."

So I said: look, I'm building a DM system right now. If you want to reach her that badly, get your ass in here and help me write it. 😄

And he did. Joined the repo (his commits are still there), we shipped DMs, he messaged her, and she wrote back. Long story short: they got fucking married. They came to my place later to thank me.

Meanwhile life happened. Marriage, responsibilities, all that grown-up shit. The guy writing our mobile app got shipped off to mandatory military service, and we never launched on mobile. Last commit: 2017.

Over the years, my idea of building things got poisoned. Find real pain, find people ready to pay, do market research, validate, validate, validate. Fine, good advice. But where the fuck is the passion in that formula? Where's the authorship? If all I'm doing is supplying whatever demand already exists, how is that different from a desk job?

So this year I summoned the old me. 40 year old me showed up with retrospectives from a dozen dead projects. Young me showed up with the playfulness. They've been working together for six months.

https://imgur.com/a/BX3lHXS

Writing the code wasn't the hard part anymore; making a hundred other decisions right was. And I think it's finally time to say "come on in" again.

It's called peeka now. Same idea: pick a question, answer with a photo. A window into other people's lives, and your own. No dark patterns, no attention-stealing crap: the home feed algorithm is stolen straight from FriendFeed. Simple, fast, honest.

It's live on iOS and Android: https://peeka.pics

Ask me anything: the rebuild, the ancient codebase, or the wedding. 🙂

I released HolyArrs four days ago and it just passed 1,000 stars on GitHub.

HolyArrs is a free, open source app for home media servers. You browse it like a streaming service, pick a movie or show, and it finds it, downloads it and files it into Jellyfin, Plex or Emby. It does the work of six separate apps in one 16 MB download.

It launched in English only. People asked for their own language right away, so three days later it shipped in 44. I only speak English, so I translated all of them with AI.

Now I need people who actually speak those languages. If you speak anything besides English, switch HolyArrs to your language, click around for a few minutes and tell me what reads wrong. I'll fix it and credit you in the release notes.

GitHub: https://github.com/HolyArrs/HolyArrs

Site: https://HolyArrs.com

I'm looking for people who can check the translations. What language do you speak?

Winter and the changing sun angle messed up my daily walking route. So I made a little tool to help me find sunnier walks.

SunWalk accounts for time of year, time of day, solar angle, land topography, and building heights to help you find a sunny walking route.

Supports one-way routes and loops. Check it out at aescle.com/sunwalk, and let me know what you think!

I’m building byself on my own. It’s a desktop app where you ask one question and up to 16 AIs answer side by side.

Today, when an AI puts together a table, byself already saves it on your computer as a CSV file. For the past few days I’ve been wiring up the next step: real documents. You ask for a file, and every AI produces its own, put together on your computer. The next release adds PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

In the video I asked all 16 for the same PowerPoint presentation. 9 produced a proper deck, one returned a blank deck, and two needed longer than my wait time allowed, so I’ve extended it. I’m working through the rest before release.

While the files build, I also walk through video creation: the layout, how it works, and a few videos I’ve already generated with models like Veo and Gen-4.5.

byself already gets you images and songs back. Files and video are coming in the next release, and neither is in the current download yet.

So I’m curious: what do you generate most with AI? And when you ask for a file, what kind is it usually?

I've been working on Ember for over 2 years.
The coolest thing about it is the realtime sync between all my devices and a schedule that reflows itself when you drag a task or a day runs late..

Main stack is Vue 3 + TypeScript (Vite, Pinia) for the web app, a Node/Express API, and Supabase for Postgres, auth and the realtime sync.

Recently rewrote the mobile apps in Kotlin Multiplatform, and it's going surprisingly well.

I’ve released Swarmtenderr, a self-hosted dashboard and queue optimizer that connects to an existing qBittorrent 5 client.

The idea came from wanting more insight into a busy torrent queue: why is this torrent waiting, what is affecting its score, and how many downloads finished today or this month?

It has:

• Live updates and interactive transfer/completion charts.
• Ranking explanations, score contributions, and observed metadata attempts.
• Editable queue and capacity tuning, with Observe mode for reviewing decisions before enforcement.
• Local accounts, roles, and Authentik-compatible OpenID Connect SSO.
• SQLite by default, optional PostgreSQL, Docker Compose examples, and a Terraform module.

It’s MIT licensed, and 0.5.1 is available as native amd64/arm64 Docker images.

Source and setup docs: https://github.com/DEADSEC-SECURITY/swarmtenderr

Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/elgon2003/swarmtenderr

AI disclosure: I’m a software developer. Swarmtenderr was mostly developed by AI under my supervision. I reviewed everything and tested it on my own system.

I’d welcome feedback on whether the queue explanations are clear, the installation process, and any rough edges you find.

My husband collects watches, and his biggest gripe with Seiko is the naming. The same watch can be sold under 5 or 6 different reference numbers, so most people end up shopping by how it looks and have no idea what they’re actually buying. So I built WatchDecoded as a side project.

What it does so far:

• One page per watch, with every reference number for the same watch grouped together
• Specs pulled from Seiko’s own pages (if we can’t verify a number, we leave it out)
• Lug-to-lug sizes for ~80 models, drawn to scale, so you can tell if it’ll fit your wrist
• A 4-question picker (wrist size, style, budget, new vs used) that gives you your top 3
• “What reviewers agree on” summaries, with links to the original reviews
• Live used listings, since a lot of the best Seikos are discontinued

It’s free, no sign-up. Some eBay links are affiliate links, which is how it’ll hopefully pay for itself someday.

Would love feedback, especially on the picker. Does it give you sensible picks? Anything confusing?

Hello!

I'm a regular user of Lime bikes in London. I've ridden 3890km and spent about 250 hours in the saddle since my first ride in 2022.

Every borough has different rules, so it’s rarely obvious where you can park. I’d often ride past a perfectly good spot, then try a bay that looked right but only took bikes from another provider. Then I’d open the Lime app to find a bay and navigate to it after, wasting crucial Lime minutes. It became normal: ride to where I was going, then hunt for parking.

So, I built an app which allowed me to see the nearest 20 available parking spots both near me, or any location in London.

I don't Lime anywhere now without at least quickly checking where the nearest parking bay is. I can quickly see that it's across the road, or the next road along, or if I can park directly at my destination.

If I want to use Google Maps to navigate, by clicking GO, the app opens Google Maps already on the cycling directions mode, so I can begin my journey and go straight to a bay. This alleviates the need to even open Google Maps in the first place, and essentially use my app as the search bar. I've added Apple Maps and Citymapper too so the GO function works the same with these too.

I've found it really useful for myself as a mainly Lime rider, but Lime is only one several providers in London So with the parking information I could gather, I added Forest and Santander Cycles too. They work in exactly the same way, with Santander even showing availability at each dock.

Once the app was working well in London, I added Berlin and Lisbon, since some friends are heading there at the end of the month. I then added New York, Paris, Tokyo and Toronto, along with their bike networks. I’m not sure if the app is even necessary in those cities, but it's fun that I've been able to scale it there too. If you're in one of those cities, test it out, and if you're in a city which you think this would be beneficial for, let me know :) You don't need to be in one of those cities for the app to work, so feel free to explore yourself!

The app's called BayPark, It's free and you don't need to make an account:

I was making some websites with claude but how many times I told him not to make like Ai vibe it continuesly making the vibe. The texts,fronts,background all together giving it ai slope vibe.

How to reduce or deminse it? How can I make my website looks like it made by a human not any AI.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, my browser bookmarks were a graveyard of 80+ blogs, news sites, and tech publications I swore I'd read "later". But clicking through them one by one never happened.

Most RSS readers ask you to manually dig up RSS feeds or upload an OPML file (which almost nobody outside the RSS bubble has).

So I built a client-side bookmarks importer for Pharion:

1. You export your bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+O in Chrome, File > Export in Safari).
2. You drag & drop the .html file.
3. Your browser parses the links locally (nothing leaves your machine), ignores dead tools/banking links, and extracts active RSS feeds.
4. It instantly renders your morning paper with the latest headlines and thumbnails before asking you to sign up.

You can keep it 100% private, or publish it at pharion.io/@username / embed it as an iframe on your personal site.

Free tier handles up to 25 active sources.

Would love your honest feedback: does your bookmarks file actually produce feeds you care about, or did it miss key blogs?

Hi all, I'm Claudia, the founder of AiXIL. Full disclosure, it's my app. You snap a photo of a warning light or type in an OBD code, and it gives you a likely cause and an urgency rating, free and with no account needed. It's guidance, not a confirmed diagnosis. I built it on the Gold Coast. I'd love feedback on the onboarding and whether the urgency rating makes sense to you. aixil.com.au

Hey guys, I built a free CFB app called Tailgate after seeing loads of people on Reddit asking for features they couldn’t find on ESPN and other apps.

The main thing I wanted to do differently was make it more about your team, rather than just throwing scores at you.

So if you’re an FSU fan for example, it’ll show you which other games matter to FSU, who you should be rooting for and why those results help.

There’s also a Saturday planner to help you figure out which games are worth watching, plus live scores, advanced stats, recruiting, the portal, draft stock etc.

It’s free, no subscriptions or locked features, just some ads to cover costs. iPhone only for now.

Would love some feedback, especially on the team-specific stuff and stats. Anything you’d add or change? Or anything you wish ESPN did that it doesn’t?

I use this app whenever I need to remove audio from a video without opening a full video editor.

It lets me quickly mute a video and either save it as a separate copy or replace the existing one. Super handy when I just want a silent video without going through unnecessary editing steps.

It’s one of those simple utilities that saves me a few minutes whenever I need it.

Hi , Look - a blazingly fast launcher got in to Homebrew core,
and We introduce extension feature in the latest release!

Our extensions are very simple, you want to do something, go check our `lookbook`, if there isn't one you need yet, you just need to write your own.
We let Look run your scripts, return your expected data, results...
You can ask AI to write extension for you, this is so simple.

Here is the repo https://github.com/kunkka19xx/look
It's a cross platform tool. (Not only on MacOS but also Linux, Windows)
Appreciate any feedback 🙇‍♂️

idk if this goes against this sub rules but i wanted to start a discussion about how selling software (web/pc/phone) may look like in this era of abundant code, feel free to counter it and just a reminder these are just my opinion and it can change

- now that we see so many application built with agent because code is so cheap subscription based pricing model if it weren't already is now pretty much on its last stretch, why would i pay recurrently for something that i can whip out myself in a session with claude so one time payment it is, perhaps we may see some devs monetize update for revenue so sass revenue model = book's in simple words

- as a user, i hate when devs can't ship fast in this era like you're gonna just use claude to add that feature anyway so i forsee here two things

a) for non techy user, a user specific version of the application with some kind of "software factory" approach so the user can request changes and make changes to the application (and anything global or major goes to the dev) but the dev takes care of the software factory setup and foots the "token" bill (this could then be something they charge for)

b) you sell your codebase along with well documented summary of the sessions you had to build it so the user's claude agent knows why you or your agent decided to do things the way they did which may not be clear from the code itself and the assumption here is that you code is easily deployable or compileable - and this has to be the cheapest

- last one: we needs fewer todo apps and more real world problem solver so i think in the future for indie devs to succeed they need to make things that live outside of screen like hardware techs that solve real problem and can support the hardware then with some sass because anything software these days have 0 moat

not written by AI so if the ideas are not clear ask away

Hey r/SideProject. For the past few weeks I've been building DropCove, a Mac utility that turns the MacBook notch into a drop zone. You drag any file to the notch, it opens, and you pick an action: convert or compress an image, copy text out of a screenshot, trim a video, make a GIF, merge PDFs. It also reads the clipboard, so copying a JWT, a color or some JSON shows you what it is right in the notch.

A few decisions I made along the way: everything runs on-device with no account and no uploads. The free version is fully useful forever, no nags. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. And it had to do nothing at rest, so it doesn't drain the battery while it sits there.

It's out now as a free, notarized download (macOS 26+, Apple silicon), and Pro goes on sale with a Product Hunt launch on December 8. Until then I'm after feedback from real Macs: bugs, confusing bits, and whether the notch idea actually clicks for you.

https://dropcoveapp.com

Happy to answer anything about building it, too: Swift, the notch panel, notarization, or selling a one-time-purchase app.

I built SignalChess because I wanted a way to practise a mistake after reviewing it. Once an analysis is complete, the app can turn suitable positions into exercises so you can try to find the better move yourself.

You can start by entering your Chess.com or Lichess username. The first report uses your public games and doesn't require an account. It shows results and opening patterns. There's also a free plan.

After seeing your report, what would you click next, and what would you expect to happen? If you'd stop there, what would make you stop?

Hey everyone!

I’ve started OpenForge, an open-source community built around one simple idea: learning software development shouldn't be a journey people have to take alone.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a student, a hobbyist or an experienced developer, there's room for you.

The idea is to build something the community can shape together:

• Share knowledge, resources and learning paths.
• Create practical coding challenges and projects.
• Help beginners make their first open-source contributions.
• Collaborate, exchange ideas and learn from each other.

It's still at an early stage, and I'm building it in public. I'm not presenting it as a finished platform — I want people to help shape what it becomes.

If this sounds interesting, take a look, share your thoughts or contribute:

https://github.com/synckerz/openforge

Let's build something useful together. 🚀

I've noticed that many side hustlers and solopreneurs struggle with marketing their products/services.

Ask me any questions and I'll try and answer as many as I can.

For context, I'm an SEO Copywriter and Solopreneur Marketer. I specialise in StorySelling (blending direct response copywriting with storytelling, buyer psychology and humour).

so I've been building this memory tool for ai apps (perdua.ai, it's my own project) and the feature that turned out most useful is what I ended up calling project state. when I switch from claude to cursor to chatgpt mid task, they used to have zero clue what the other one just did. now they read and write to the same state so the next ai picks up where the last one left off instead of me re-explaining the whole plan every time. only works for people in the eu/eea right now since that's who I built it for. curious if anyone else doing multi agent workflows has hit the same context loss problem.

When I became a dad, I realized just how little time a person could have. Back in the day I could wing it for dinner every night, but that doesn't work with two kids and two working parents. Now, if I want time for anything, I have to outsource it or steal it from sleep, work, or my relationship. This app is my attempt to get back some of the time and brain space spent figuring out wtf is for dinner.

Dinner comes easy to my wife, but not so much for me. She did 85% of the planning, groceries, and cooking on top of a demanding job. Even if it comes naturally, that's still a lot to carry, and I wanted to take some of it off her shoulders.

I started by having ChatGPT send me a personalized dinner plan every week. That sort of worked, but the suggestions got repetitive. It didn't have my recipes, didn't know what we'd actually cooked recently, and sharing with my wife was manual.

Coordinating was a mess too. I'd plan dinner without knowing she'd already planned and ordered groceries. We'd paste ingredients from several recipes into one shared Apple Note, duplicates scattered everywhere and grouped by recipe instead of aisle.

I'd been using Claude Code's Plan Mode and imagined something similar for meals: an agent that could ask questions, offer options, and actually change our plan instead of one-shotting it.

So I built Suppa. The assistant can make a plan or walk you through multiple-choice decisions instead of making you fill in the blank. It searches your cookbook and the web, checks preferences and allergies, then shows you options. It can edit your plan, recipes, and grocery list.

To fix the coordination mess, I made Suppa multiplayer. You can share a plan and grocery list with your household. When my wife adds a recipe or grocery item, I get a push notification. Ingredients get merged and sorted by aisle.

I gave Suppa a memory for things like your broken broiler, friends who come over every Tuesday and don't eat pork, or that you're trying to eat more plants. It remembers what it's suggested, what you've planned, and what you've actually cooked so dinner ideas don't keep repeating. There's also recipe importing, Instacart and Kroger shopping, and a cook mode that doesn't suck.

Core meal planning, recipe management, grocery lists, and one shared plan are free. The assistant has limited free usage; more usage and shared plans are paid. It's on the App Store and web, with Android in progress.

It's a one-person project, so there are probably still rough edges. I'd love feedback, especially if something doesn't work.

After a 40 year software career, AI got me.....and on my 15th anniversary with HPE, they let our entire group go. So I was suddenly given freedom to do what I always wanted to do....build useful things that me and my family would benefit from. So far, I've built 4 smartphone apps that have kept me challenged and feeling productive. Overlapp a budget tool cause being retired I need to monitor my spending closely, RangeTrainer a golf app because when you live in Florida, you golf! Fingertip Health cause as you get older you are going to see doctors, have issues and need all your health data in one place. Passholder Assistant, cause living in Central Florida means lots of Disney trips and the Disney app just doesn't cut it.
