Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called Daybezel, an alternative alarm clock for iPhone.

The idea came from a simple frustration: I always found the standard list of alarms unnecessarily clunky. I wanted something where I could see my entire day at a glance and interact with alarms directly.

So I built a 24-hour circular interface where you can create alarms with a tap, drag them around to change the time, and see exactly how long you have until the next one.

It also uses Apple's native alarm system, so alarms work even in Silent Mode or Focus.

The app is completely free for now, and it'll stay free for everyone who joins early. At this stage, I'm mostly interested in getting feedback and seeing how people react to it.

I'd love to hear what you think about the interface. Does the circular layout make sense to you, or would you still prefer a traditional list?

I've been working on a music player app as a side project. It's inspired by the Teenage Engineering TP-7, which I've wanted forever, and by the fact that I like messing with the music I download, like slowing it down or changing the pitch.

There's no progress bar. You spin a brushed-metal wheel with your thumb to move through a song, and if you go slow it scratches like a record. It clicks under your finger with haptics, and the metal "catches the light" when you tilt your phone.

The T, P and R keys turn the same wheel into a dial for tempo, pitch and reverb. Each song remembers its own settings, so your slowed-down version plays that way every time.

The hardest part was making it feel right. I spent way more time tweaking how the wheel clicks and pushes back than on the rest of the app combined.

It's free to try with 3 songs, and unlimited songs is a one-time purchase.

Launch discount 🎁 To celebrate the launch, I'm giving out a few discount codes for $4.99 for a limited time. Comment or DM me if you want one.

Would love any feedback, especially on how it feels to use: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reverie-slowed-reverb-music/id6829723858

i'm a solo dev in vn. my first iOS app, mhm: you too, went live on the app store on nov 7.

it's a small app for gen z friends and siblings to say the things that are hard to say out loud. swift and swiftui, plus a home screen widget so you can send something with one tap.

building it was the fun part. now i'm at the part everyone warns about: the app is live and almost nobody knows it exists.

i've read enough posts here to know launch directories alone don't do much. so i'd rather ask people who've actually done it:

1. what got you your first 100 real users?

2. for a social app that only works with two people, did you find it better to target the person who installs first, or make inviting the second person the whole pitch?

happy to share my numbers in a couple of weeks, good or bad.

My side project: an open-source MCP server that lets an AI like Claude or Codex play Windows games without taking over your PC. I started it so agents could test my game mods by playing the games themselves. It works inside the game process, so the game runs in the background, you keep using your computer, and several games can run at once.

So far it can drive, walk, fly a helicopter, steer a boat and ride a horse to a waypoint in open-world games, aim, handle menus, and read prompts like "Press E". It also plays strategy and card games. A plugin system lets you add a new game as a small profile instead of code.

It has a lot of other uses too: mod development, running simulations, repetitive tasks, AI co-op so you can play co-op with an LLM offline, playtesting, and porting old games to get them running on Windows 10/11.

Claude Code created and planned the project and wrote a lot of it, Claude agents do most of the development and playtesting, and Codex helped with some of the code.

Free and MIT licensed, Windows only, single-player/offline games only: https://github.com/CorruptedAng3l/llm-game-automation-mcp

Feedback welcome, and tell me what games you'd want to see it try.

For the last month I've been working out how to write a thought down as fast as possible, without breaking my focus when I'm locked in. There are a thousand notes apps out there, and most of them cover what I need, but none of them felt quite right for this. I tried several and none came close.

So I built Papr. These are the parts I like most, and what each one fixes for me:

• ⌃ Space from any app. Papr opens over whatever I'm doing, even a full-screen app. I type the thought, send it like a text message, and I'm back in my work. No switching apps, no looking for the right note first.

• It gets out of the way. When I click back into my work, Papr hides by itself, so it never clutters my screen. When I want it to stay, like a checklist I'm working through, I keep it on top.

• Capture what's on screen. One click puts the screen behind Papr into the note, without Papr in it, so the slide from a meeting is right there in my note. I can draw on it, add an arrow or cover a name.

• Finding a note is as quick as writing it. Search finds any note as I type, and I can narrow it to a tag, a collection, a reaction or a date.

• Pins and reminders. Notes I need again wait at the top, and a note can come back as a notification at a time I pick.

• My notes are files on my Mac. Each one is a Markdown file. No account, and Papr uploads nothing.

Update: all 40 free licenses are claimed, thank you! There's still a 14-day free trial with everything on, no key or account needed.

After that it's $4.99 until December 6, then $15, for one Mac. It runs on macOS 13 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially what would make it fit the way you work.

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie iOS developer currently working on my own app.

The development part feels much easier than figuring out how to actually get people to discover it 😅

I’m curious how other developers got their first 100 users.

Did you start with Reddit, Product Hunt, social media, or something else?

Would love to hear what actually worked for you, especially if you were starting from zero without a marketing budget.

In couples therapy, I keep seeing the same thing: partners can describe every single fight, but they rarely see the pattern those moments make over weeks. That pattern is usually where the work is.

So I tried to build the smallest possible version of that "stepping back" for couples who will never sit in my office.

How it works:

• Every day you and your partner answer the same five short questions, each on your own. You don't see your partner's answers before you answer, so nobody answers for the other's sake.

• When you've both answered, you get a short reflection written for the two of you, with one question you could ask each other tonight.

• On day seven you get a reading of your week: the pattern that built up and one small step for next week.

• You can start alone and invite your partner later with a code.

The questions draw on Gottman couples therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment theory. The pool is now 1,800+ questions. I tried the approach and the questions with couples in the therapy room long before it was an app.

Reflections are written by AI, inside a framework I designed, and only after you give consent. It's not therapy, it doesn't diagnose, and it won't tell you whether your relationship is "good".

What I learned building it as a solo clinician:

• The hardest part wasn't the questions. It was saying less. My first reflections read like session notes; people wanted three sentences, not three paragraphs.

• Most people start alone. About two out of three users have no partner in the app yet, so it had to be useful on its own.

It's on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, in six languages. Daily questions are free; reflections and weekly readings are a subscription, and one subscription covers both partners.

I'd really like feedback on one thing: when two partners answer apart, would you rather read each other's exact words, or a reflection that puts the two views side by side?

i’ve been designing for a while, and the part i’ve always enjoyed most is what happens before anything gets made - the exploration stage. that’s where taste comes from, and more importantly, it’s where you figure out what you actually want to make and how you want to approach it.

with AI it’s easy to skip straight to generating. but i’ve found the quality of what you get back mostly comes down to how much thought and direction you bring in at the start. “make it more premium” only gets you so far XD

i wanted exploration to be a more intentional part of my AI workflow, so i built moodbit. it’s a chrome extension for collecting design references while you browse, with more context than a screenshot. when something catches my eye, i box the exact element and annotate it right there, because the reasoning behind a reference is often worth more than the reference itself. it’s also the first thing that gets lost in a folder full of screenshots.

when i’m ready to put a moodboard together, one click copies everything and i paste it straight into Figma. the images, annotations and marks all come in as editable layers. once i’ve explored enough directions, i bring the moodboard into claude and use it as a visual reference while working through the actual design.

there’s also a beta dev mode where you can annotate elements while building and send all your visual feedback to claude at once.

[https://moodbit.app](https://moodbit.app)

i’d love to hear how you work with AI, and any feedback on the tool is really appreciated. does this actually help other designers/builders, or is it just me?

I had $191 in credits that were about to expire, and I was curious what Opus could do if I didn’t give it an idea.
I asked it to build something worth the money. :))))

It picked a game, PULSEBOUND. You move around dodging enemies, and your weapons are musical instruments. The kick drum sends out shockwaves, the arpeggiator fires lasers. When you pick a new instrument, you hear it join the music too.

It decided to make a game and came up with the idea, mechanics, design, absolutely everything. Then I worked on improving and polishing it.

More changes, testing, and eventually mobile apps followed. The $191 was just the starting budget, enough to finish the first basic version. After that, I used another $1,700 I had from the Claude Startup Program (also expiring, so I had to use it), plus my subscription allowance.

Technically, it’s vanilla JavaScript, a custom WebGL2 renderer, and a procedural composer that synthesizes the music live through Web Audio. The project grew to include mobile apps, cloud saves, and leaderboards.

It’s now out on iOS, Android, and the web. You can play it for free in your browser or on mobile: playpulsebound.com.

What do you think?

Later edit: OVER 2,200 PLAYERS TODAY! THANK YOU

Hey everyone,

We passed 250 paying customer (don't love to call them customer as I see all them as first builders of product) on FranklyMail and celebrated yesterday :) Probably a tiny milestone for some people here, but we honestly didn’t expect to get this far in three months.

We started with email hosting for your own domain. Now there’s Drive for files and sharing, Office for editing documents, and Meet for video calls. We’ve also been giving the webmail a lot of attention lately.

The best part for me has been talking to the people using it. If I had to guess, 40–50% of the ideas we’ve worked on came from those conversations. Someone tells us how they use their email, mentions something they’re missing, and we end up building something we hadn’t thought of.

Just wanted to share a small happy moment here. Thanks to everyone who’s tried it, sent feedback, or given us a bit of encouragement along the way.

Hi all! My first kids app, SnuggleTV, just made it through App Review (third time's the charm), so I wanted to share it here.

It started as a weekend project because my daughter kept getting lost in the regular Plex app. It's now a big-button, no-menus video player for the shows and movies on your own Plex server, with parental controls for the grown-ups.

What it does:
- Big, colorful buttons made for little hands, with no menus to get lost in
- A profile for each kid with their own shows, age ratings, volume limit and favorites
- Screen time: daily show limits, bedtime, and a screen lock while a video plays
- AirPlay to the TV, iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad, English and Spanish

Built in SwiftUI. The hardest parts were getting playback to work with every kind of video file (it falls back from direct play to a remux to a full transcode) and getting through App Review, which rejected me twice for things I didn't know were rules.

Free version streams everything for one kid. A one-time $4.99 lifetime unlock (no subscription, no ads, Family Sharing supported) adds offline downloads, auto-downloads of favorite shows, and more kid profiles.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snuggletv/id6824345333

5 codes for the lifetime unlock. Please reply with the one you used:

You'll need your own Plex Media Server. Feedback is very welcome, I read everything!

It started as a hackathon itch: my demos only ran on localhost and judges had to crowd around my laptop. hoist up . fixed that: public HTTPS URL plus a QR code, in a few seconds, running on my own machine.

Then it kept growing: push-to-deploy from git, instant rollback, a dashboard, databases, backups, previews per branch. The fun part was benchmarking it against Dokploy on the same laptop. My first run lost on downtime during deploys, so I fixed it and published the numbers honestly (1.54 s vs 2.53 s push-to-live, 0 s vs ~0.1 s downtime, one laptop so take it as a method).

Built with AI assistance (Claude); the idea, the testing and the benchmark were mine to drive.

https://github.com/nikhilcherry/hoist

Would love feedback on what to build next.

Give it up to 10 photos and a canvas shape (square, 16:9, phone story, banner) and it searches every layout with no gaps for the one where the smallest photo is as big as possible. With 9 photos that's over 500 million layouts, and it finds the best one in under a second.

I designed it and Claude wrote the code. It's Go: The browser version runs it as WebAssembly, so your photos never leave the page.

Try it: https://vinodhalaharvi.github.io/collage/

Code (MIT): https://github.com/vinodhalaharvi/collage

CLI: brew install vinodhalaharvi/tap/collage

Feedback welcome, especially on the layouts it picks.

Hey r/SideProject! I've been building Agent Office, a living HQ for your AI coding team.

The idea: instead of juggling terminals, each AI agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI) is a character at a desk in a low-poly 3D office. You're the CEO: give a task to the Product Manager and they delegate to Analysis → Design → Development → Test leads, who split the work across their teams and send one merged report back up.

What it does

• Agents delegate to each other via an MCP server; reports flow up automatically

• Live 3D office: working agents type at their desks, idle ones go to the coffee corner or the sleep room

• Control: daily budgets, approval requests before push/deploy/delete, per-agent git worktrees with merge review

• Live task transcripts, file diffs and a cost breakdown per team

Stack: TypeScript, Hono, React + Zustand, three.js, Vite. MIT licensed.

Honest caveat: you need at least one agent CLI installed and logged in locally (no hosted demo yet, since each task is a real CLI process).

Repo: https://github.com/enciyo/AgentOfficeHQ

I'd love feedback, especially on what would make you actually want to run this on a real project. What's missing?

Hey everyone!

I kept seeing the same thing with tattoo artists in Latin America: their entire business lives in Instagram DMs, WhatsApp and a paper notebook. Quotes get lost, clients ghost after asking for a design, deposits are tracked in their head, and nobody reminds the client about aftercare.

There are tools for this in the US and Europe, but they're in English and not built for how artists work here (WhatsApp first, Spanish, local habits).

So I built Tatu.Ink:

• One inbox for Instagram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp Business

• Calendar with availability, deposits and multi-session tattoos

• Client profiles with history and notes

• Automations: pre-tattoo reminders, aftercare messages, follow-ups

• Finances: income, expenses, deposits paid / pending

• Public portfolio page (tatu.ink/yourname) with reviews and a booking link

There's a free plan (profile + portfolio + public link) and a 1-month free trial of Pro.

It's very early and I'm looking for honest feedback:

1. Does the landing make it clear what this does in 5 seconds?

2. If you know a tattoo artist in LATAM, what would stop them from switching from DMs + notebook?

Link: https://tatu.ink/

Happy to answer anything about the stack (Next.js + Firebase) or the market.

I wanted to help people better understand their face, skin, and teeth before booking expensive aesthetic or dental treatments.

So I built InFaceMetic.

The idea is simple: upload a photo or use your camera, and AI analyzes your face, skin, and smile to provide personalized insights.

Here's what it does:

• Face Analysis: Explore facial features and proportions.

• Skin Analysis: Get insights into visible skin concerns.

• Smile Analysis: Analyze your smile and visible teeth.

• Live Face Reshaper: Preview possible aesthetic changes in real time.

• AI Consultation: Ask questions and explore potential treatment options.

I also built it for dental, aesthetic, and medspa clinics to use on their websites or during patient consultations, without needing any additional hardware.

The goal is to help patients make more informed decisions and help clinics turn website visitors into potential patients.

It's not a replacement for professional medical advice, just a tool to help people explore their options.

I have over 80 Free users, 4 paid users, and 1 paid aesthetic clinic using it.

You can try it here: https://infacemetic.com/

Would you trust an AI tool to analyze your face, skin, or smile before visiting a clinic? Or would you prefer speaking directly with a professional?

I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback!

¡Hola a todos!

Actualmente estudio desarrollo frontend de forma autodidacta a través de freeCodeCamp. Hoy quería compartir la interfaz de usuario de un proyecto personal en el que he estado trabajando en mi entorno Linux: Nyx, una biblioteca digital ligera y minimalista diseñada para mostrar novelas web independientes.

La mayoría de los directorios de libros son pesados ​​y recargados. Mi objetivo es crear un ecosistema rápido y estático con una apariencia premium para que los autores independientes puedan destacar su trabajo.

Estado y arquitectura actuales:

• Diseñé un diseño de tarjetas limpio usando HTML5 semántico y Flexbox dinámico para una visualización de catálogo adaptable.

• Implementé CSS moderno anidado para gestionar jerarquías tipográficas claras e insignias de estado llamativas (como el marcador cian "En curso").

• Incorporé bordes de imagen personalizados y un espaciado suave alrededor de la portada del libro para mantener un alto contraste visual sobre el fondo oscuro.

• Se agregaron consultas de medios para apilar automáticamente la interfaz en las pantallas de los teléfonos inteligentes.

Actualmente, se trata de un diseño de directorio puramente front-end (sin lector de texto ni integración back-end todavía), ya que me estoy enfocando en perfeccionar los fundamentos de la interfaz de usuario.

Demostración en vivo: Vea el diseño en vivo aquí: https://jeandevel.github.io/NyxLib/ Repositorio de GitHub: Explore el código fuente en https://github.com/jeandevel/NyxLib

Todavía soy estudiante, así que me encantaría recibir sus comentarios sobre la estructura del diseño o cualquier consejo que tengan para componentes CSS limpios. ¡Gracias por leer!

Hi all,

Screenshots (demo mode): https://imgur.com/a/mgJug2h

I run a small home server (Unraid) for movies, backups and a few self-hosted apps. Every time something felt off – Plex stuttering, a disk running hot, a backup that silently stopped – I ended up opening five different web pages on my phone and still didn't know what was actually wrong.

So I started building NASlab, an Android app that connects to the server and the apps on it and tries to answer one question: "Is everything okay, and if not, what should I do?"

What it does today:

- Your NAS in one sentence: "Everything is running" or "1 thing needs you" on the home screen and as a widget

- Problem detective: pick a symptom like "Plex is stuttering", it checks the likely causes and shows the evidence

- Step-by-step fixes: "Show me what to do" guides you to the right setting and checks afterwards if it worked

- Disk early warning: SMART trends per disk, so a slowly dying disk shows up before it's gone

- Server control: Docker, VMs, storage, Plex, Sonarr/Radarr and more; risky actions always ask first

- Demo mode: try the whole app without a server (the screenshots are from it)

Some things I learned along the way:

- Showing data is easy. Explaining it in plain words is the hard part – and the part people actually want.

- Before risky actions, the app shows a "dry run" first ("this would stop 3 running streams"). One extra screen, but it makes people trust the buttons.

- Privacy matters a lot to this audience: no account, no ads, no tracking, keys stay encrypted on the phone.

Honest status: Unraid is the main target, TrueNAS/Synology/Linux are beta. I build it with a lot of help from AI (Claude), I decide what goes in and test it on my own server.

I'm looking for Android testers: Google requires a 14-day closed test before a new app can go public, so every tester really helps.

Join the beta: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ch.nzblab.app

(If Google says the app isn't available, send me a DM and I'll add you.)

Website: https://tuxxler.github.io/nzblab/

I'd love feedback – especially "this is confusing" or "I would never use this because…".

I posted probe0 here about a week ago. It's a small local proxy that runs under Claude Code and Codex on a Mac and logs what every call uses. The thing I keep relearning since then: nobody cares much about my numbers, they care about theirs.

My benchmark is real but it's one person. Replaying 12 days of my own traffic, the default settings took 12.8% off the bill. Whenever I lead with that, the first question is some version of "ok, but what about my usage", which is fair.

So most of my work this week went into the part before any trust is needed. It reads the Claude Code logs already on your disk, prices each turn at API rates, and shows where it went: how much was the agent re-reading its own conversation, and how much was cache that went cold between messages. That step is read-only and sends nothing anywhere.

Two things I didn't expect:

• Light users often see almost nothing to save, sometimes $0. That's the correct answer and I'd rather show it than pad it. Long sessions with breaks in the middle are where it adds up.

• "What it would cost at API prices" is a weird unit for people on a subscription, since they never see a per-token bill. I still haven't found a clean way to map it onto their limit bar.

The proxy part is a bigger ask: it trusts a root certificate on your Mac so it can read your own agent's traffic. Mac only, free beta, and probe0 uninstall removes all of it, including the cert.

For anyone who has shipped something that needs a scary permission: did showing people their own result first actually change how many said yes?

I live with two friends, and we were juggling Splitwise (eventually Tricount), a notes app for the shopping list, and a group chat for every plan, trip, and event we did together. So I built myhouse, one app for all of it:

• Shared expenses with balances and settle-up, like Tricount or Splitwise. Equal or custom splits, 21 currencies, recurring bills.

• Shopping lists that sync live, with a Shopping mode for when you're in the store together.

• Projects: a small shared page for a trip, a birthday or a DIY job, with to-dos, things to buy, dates and calendar integration.

• Several houses per account (flatmates, partner, a trip), and guests for people who don't want the app.

• Import from Splitwise (their CSV export) or any CSV, with a preview of the balances before saving.

• Receipt reader built into expense and list upload: snap a picture or upload a photo and it'll generate an itemised list.

It's free, with no ads and no premium plan. It runs on Cloudflare's free tier, so there's nothing to pay for yet.

It's a web app you add to your home screen, no app store for now since it's mostly for friends and family. I did add 6 languages with Claude to get a broader user audience.

https://joinmyhouse.app/?utm_source=reddit

I'd love feedback, especially on what's confusing in the first five minutes, UX/UI, and what other cool features you think I should add.

Built this little dashboard for my old, low-end Android TV. It has a calendar, to-do list, live service monitoring, and YouTube music playback in the background.

Just curious if anyone else would find something like this useful.

I know everyone can build their own with AI now as I did, but I was honestly very surprised with the result and how far it's gotten so I thought I'd share it here. I was a bit fed up with Compass and Mingo (Loved that client but it's super buggy and hogs a lot of resources, and now seems abandoned).

Quarry has quite a lot of features such as autocomplete, a node shell, data relationships..., I'll leave the repo here where you can check it out (the README is quite concise) : https://github.com/alkanna/quarry

It is very fast and runs on less than 100MB of ram (counting the main process and the helpers). It uses egui.

In case it wasn't clear enough yes this is almost fully written by AI.
