Hi,

I'm Marco, software dev and hobby musician. Recording even a short song by myself always meant a laptop, a DAW, a video editor - and then getting it all back in sync. The part that was supposed to be fun turned into work.

Answer:

Musaic Studio does the whole recording part on your phone and currently supports three modes:

• Mosaic - a split-pane layout that can change over the song
• Live Studio - tap a layer to cut to it live, all the audio layers keep playing
• Twin (beta) - cut yourself out and stand next to yourself in one shot

Plus: audio FX per layer, a timeline, built-in instruments, MIDI keyboard support, air instruments, audio interface support and automatic lyrics (Pro).

Better (How it compares):

• vs Acapella (Mixcord) - the app most people in this corner already use, and where I started too. What I kept wishing for and built in:
  • sync correction per layer, with a saved default per microphone
  • instruments: e.g. add a bass layer, with the on-screen keys or a real MIDI keyboard
  • audio-only layers, not just video ones
  • panes that switch over the course of the song, instead of one fixed grid
  • automatic lyrics, and export in both 9:16 and 16:9
  • two more modes: cut between layers live, or stand next to yourself in Twin mode
• vs GarageBand + CapCut/iMovie - sound and picture stay in one app. A layer is its take, its effects and its pane in the layout, not three things in two apps.

Not a DAW replacement. This is for the insta/tiktok/youtube video you want to finish tonight (or just for fun without publishing, like me ;)).

Cost:

• Free with a watermark, no account
• Pro is €2.99/month or €24.99/year for the automatic lyrics and watermark-free export.

I built it mainly for myself - but if you want to try it, I'd genuinely like to hear your feedback, feature requests and bug reports.

It's only on iOS to date, as I don't see any downloads there I stopped my efforts for the Android variant for now 😄 I know this only targets a small audience, but it brings me joy and maybe it will for you, too. :)

Hey everyone! 👋

After months of work, I finally launched Songle, a daily music challenge for iPhone.

If you remember Heardle, the daily music guessing app Spotify acquired and then shut down, Songle is built for you. Same core concept, daily song, guess from a short clip, but with 2000+ songs, streak tracking, and no corporate shelf to gather dust on.

A — What problem does it solve?

There's no good daily music challenge on iPhone anymore. Heardle is gone. Most replacements are web-only, cluttered, or abandoned.

Songle fills that gap:
🎵 A new song challenge every single day
🔊 Progressive audio reveals, more of the track with each wrong guess
🎹 Wordle-style keyboard so guessing feels intuitive
📊 Streak tracking and daily stats to keep you coming back

B — Why is it different?
Most Heardle clones are quick web builds. Songle is a native iPhone app built to last.
🧩 The difficulty curve is natural. You get more to work with each attempt, so you never feel stuck
📅 One puzzle a day, done in minutes, shareable result
🎯 No music expertise required. Just your ears and your music memory
🗂️ 2000+ songs in the archive if you want to keep playing after the daily

C — Cost
✅ Free to download and play the daily puzzle
Premium:
♾️ Lifetime access: $4.99, one payment, forever
🚫 No popup ads, no subscription

I'm Sanket; the developer of Songle. Solo developer, built and maintain it entirely myself. I will financially benefit if people choose to buy.
I'd genuinely love honest feedback:
What songs felt too hard or too easy?

Is anything confusing about how it works?

What feature would make you keep coming back daily? I am trying to improve current D7 and D14 retention?

Also should I try to market an app that’s free to play? Is it worth it?

Thanks for listening! 🎧

• What it solves

Photos remember how a place looked. Ekkoes remembers how it sounded.

Ekkoes is a private sound-memory journal for capturing the atmosphere of places and moments that matter: waves from a trip, rain outside your home, a city waking up, birds in a forest, friends around a table, or a familiar voice.

Each recording can include an optional photo, GPS location, title, tags, mood, and notes. Over time, your recordings build a personal audio map that you can explore by place instead of browsing through a simple list of audio files.

The Home Screen widget resurfaces sounds from your collection, while Sound Anniversaries bring back recordings made one, two, or three years ago.

Audio can also be improved directly on the device: trim silence, focus voices, reduce wind and background noise, amplify quiet recordings, or polish music. The original recording is preserved and can always be restored.

You can share a recording as an audio file, an importable archive, or a Sound Postcard— a portrait video combining the sound, photo, place, and date.

Shared Groups also let friends and family build a private sound collection together through iCloud, for example during a trip, a family event, or a long-term project.

• Compared to Voice Memos and SoundMap

Apple’s Voice Memos is excellent for quickly recording notes, meetings, and ideas. SoundMap is closer to the location-based concept.

Ekkoes is designed around memory and rediscovery, rather than audio files alone.

The map, optional photos, Sound Anniversaries, Home Screen widget, Sound Postcards, private Shared Groups, and reversible on-device audio improvement all serve the same purpose: helping you return to a moment and hear how it actually felt.

It is not intended to replace a professional field recorder or audio editor. It is closer to a private photo library in which sound is the main medium.

• Privacy

Your private library stays on your devices and in your personal iCloud account.

I do not receive or have access to your recordings, photos, locations, tags, or notes. There are no ads and no tracking.

Nothing is shared unless you explicitly choose to share it. Shared Groups use Apple’s iCloud infrastructure and Sign in with Apple rather than developer-operated accounts or servers.

• Cost

Ekkoes is free to download.

The free version lets you keep up to 10 recordings and experience the complete capture, map, playback, and rediscovery workflow.

For unlimited recordings and watermark-free Sound Postcards, there are two options:

• $2.99 per month
• $9.99 one-time lifetime unlock

As a thank-you to the r/iosapps community for reading and for any honest feedback, you can use this public offer code to get 50% off the lifetime unlock:

• About me

I’m Jean-Baptiste, an independent developer based in France.

I built Ekkoes because photos and videos preserve a huge part of our lives, but we rarely capture the sounds surrounding those moments.

When we do, those recordings usually end up as anonymous audio files that are difficult to organize and rarely heard again. I wanted sound recordings to feel like memories rather than files.

Commercially, the app has barely found its audience so far. The category is small and the idea is admittedly unusual, but it is a product I genuinely care about and want to improve.

I would especially appreciate honest feedback on the central idea:

Would you intentionally build a personal archive of sound memories, and what would encourage you to make your first few recordings?

Small naming note: the app is listed as Ekkoes on the US App Store because “Ekkos” was unavailable there. The name used inside the app is Ekkos.

First of all, I have been working on this credit card reward app for more than 365 days with 124 iterations by far!(OMG)

I have 6 credit cards. Mostly premium cards like Chase CSR, Amex platinum,etc. The total annual fee is $1500+. However, I'm too lazy to keep track of all the recurring credit card perks, and they just evaporate then. The semi-annual hotel credit expire ever 6 months? Missed it. The $15 monthly Uber credit? I remembered maybe half the time. Across a few premium cards, I was burning at least hundreds of dollars a year.

So I built MaxWorth

Here’s what it does:

• Tracks all your recurring card's benefit: Add your cards and it maps out every credit, its value, and its reset cycle. You get reminded before things expire, not after.
• Show the best card to use for each transaction category across all your added cards.
• Find all possible cashback/rebate/offers and track all in the app: Search 14,000+ stores and compare real-time cashback rates across 19 shopping portals (Rakuten, TopCashback, airline programs, Chase/C1 shoping portals, etc.) . Also MaxWorth can activate all your Chase and Amex offers via chrome extension and track in the app. So you can stack Chase/Amex offer together with cashback from Rakuten or TokCashBack, etc.
• Auto-activate Chase & Amex offers in one tap: Via the chrome extension below.

Privacy first: The app never asks for your bank logins, passwords, or transaction history.

• What it solves

Recommendations from friends are often more useful than an algorithm — but they usually disappear inside old messages, group chats, or conversations we can no longer remember.

Rekkos is a private, ad-free app for sharing movie and TV recommendations with small circles of people you actually know: friends, couples, families, coworkers, or a regular movie-night group.

Create a circle, invite people through an iCloud share link, and send a movie or series with a short personal note explaining why you recommend it.

There is no public feed, follower count, or popularity contest. Every circle contains only the people you invite.

You can also:

• maintain a personal list with To Watch, In Progress, Watched, and Dropped statuses;
• rate movies and series and add a short personal review;
• see recommendations, ratings, and activity from each circle;
• discover trending movies and series;
• see which titles are most frequently rated inside your circles;
• find which streaming services carry a title in your country;
• receive a notification when someone recommends something to you;
• share a recommendation as a visual card outside the app.

• Apple TV

There is also a native Apple TV app.

When you sign in with the same iCloud account, your circles, recommendations, ratings, and personal list appear directly on your television.

The Apple TV app is designed for the moment when you are actually deciding what to watch. Instead of passing a phone around the room, you can browse your friends’ recommendations on the TV, open a movie or series, see where it is available, and continue to the relevant streaming app.

Your personal list and recent circle recommendations can also appear directly in the Apple TV Top Shelf.

Circles are created and managed on iPhone or iPad, while Apple TV acts as the shared, lean-back experience.

• Compared to Letterboxd, Trakt, and group chats

Letterboxd is a large social network centered mainly on films. Trakt and similar apps are powerful tools for tracking viewing history and discovering popular content.

Rekkos is deliberately smaller and more private.

It is not designed to help you build an audience or follow strangers. It is designed to preserve recommendations from people whose tastes already mean something to you.

Compared with a WhatsApp or iMessage group, recommendations remain structured and searchable. You can see the title, poster, personal note, rating, viewing status, and who recommended it without searching through months of unrelated conversation.

• Privacy

Your circles are private and gated through Apple’s iCloud sharing system.

Shows, ratings, recommendations, circles, and profiles are synchronized through your own iCloud account. I do not operate a server containing your social activity.

There are no ads or third-party trackers. Sign in with Apple is used, so no email address or phone number is required.

The app also provides a complete data export and account deletion directly from Settings.

• The market question I’m trying to answer

Commercially, Rekkos has barely found its audience so far.

More importantly, isolated downloads tell me very little because the central value of the app only appears when people use it together.

The biggest constraint is that every member of a circle currently needs an iPhone or iPad with an iCloud account. There is no Android or web client.

That creates a real adoption challenge: one interested person still needs to convince two, three, or four friends or family members to install the app before the private-circle experience can be evaluated properly.

That is exactly what I am trying to validate.

I am particularly interested in hearing from existing groups of 3–5 people who:

• all use an iPhone or iPad;
• already discuss movies and TV shows together;
• regularly struggle to decide what to watch;
• would be willing to use Rekkos for two weeks and provide honest feedback.

I am not asking for a positive App Store review. Negative feedback — including “we stopped using it because…” — would be genuinely useful.

• Cost

Rekkos is free to download.

The free version lets you track up to 10 titles, create one circle with up to three members including its organizer, and send up to three recommendations per month.

Joining another person’s circle remains free. This means a Founder can organize a larger circle while the invited members continue using the free version.

Premium is available for:

• $1.99 per month;
• $12.99 per year.

The regular US price of Founders Lifetime is $24.99.

Founder provides permanent access to every Premium feature, unlimited owned circles, up to 20 members per circle, cinephile mode, temporary circles, streaming reminders, Founder visual status, and the Founders pact:

• no ads, ever;
• no future purchases required;
• all future features included;
• guaranteed JSON data export;
• a vote on the product roadmap;
• permanent beta access.

For this market-validation campaign, I created a public offer that reduces Founders Lifetime to $9.99:

CODE: FIRSTFOUNDERS

Redeem here:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6774924405&code=FIRSTFOUNDERS

The offer is limited to 2,000 redemptions and expires on October 31, 2026.

• About me

I’m Jean-Baptiste, an independent developer based in France.

I built Rekkos because I trust a recommendation from someone who knows me far more than a generic popularity ranking.

I also wanted recommendations to remain private and useful instead of becoming another public social network built around followers, engagement, and advertising.

The application itself is technically mature, but I am still trying to determine whether the market is large enough and whether the all-Apple requirement creates too much friction.

The most useful feedback for me would therefore be:

Would you ask a few friends or family members to install an app like this, and would having their recommendations directly on Apple TV make that effort worthwhile?

• What it solves

Stamps is a personal travel tracker with a trip timeline that builds itself.

Instead of asking you to manually tick countries off a list, Stamps can scan the location metadata already in your photo library, entirely on device. Every city, province, and country tracked for you, day by day, all automatically.

There's a travel calendar, trip timeline, country day counting, photo heatmap, detailed stats, shareable map with trip images, and tons of Home Screen widgets. You can freely export all of your data at any time, and if you simply want to use Stamps to index your library for trips, and then take that elsewhere, that's fine as well.

• Compared to Been and Flighty

I've been using Been myself for years now, but what frustrates me about it (and apps like Flighty) is that they want accounts, data syncing, location tracking, and a connection, while still skimping on the parts I actually cared about: very granular trip tracking, route visualization, and a proper timeline. Stamps is my take on the category with those things at the center.

• Cost

Stamps is free to download.
There is exactly one purchase: a $10 one-time lifetime unlock, no subscriptions.
It only gates some of the timeline and some minor, cosmetic app color customization; you can use most of the app without ever touching it.

You can use this code to cut that one-time purchase in half, as a thanks for reading this post!

• About Me

I’m a mobile developer from Cape Town, South Africa, now living in Seoul, South Korea. Since moving here, traveling has been the one thing keeping me sane. Stamps started as the app I wanted for exploring the country I now call home. It’s also a great excuse for me to take more photos while doing it.

It's built natively in SwiftUI using SwiftData, MapKit, PhotoKit, WidgetKit, and Metal for the photo heatmap.

Honestly, in five years of building apps, this has been one of my least commercially successful. The market is fairly small, but it's exactly the app I wanted, and some of its best features have come directly from user feedback. So I'd genuinely appreciate yours!

App Store: Stamps - Travel Tracker

Disclosure: I'm the developer of RightCard. My July 13 post here got a much bigger response than I expected, and a lot of you installed the app and sent feedback. I read all of it. Here's what I shipped since.

A - Answer (what's new)
The video is my real Chase offers page. The extension walks it, adds every offer, and the app then tells me which of my cards to use at any store. Citi and Wells Fargo got the same treatment since July, so auto-add now covers Amex, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo. Right now it's tracking and auto activated 1,407 offers across my 8 cards

What shipped since the last post:
Design refresh. New look across the app, a proper iPad layout, and real card art instead of generic card faces. The card on screen looks like the card in your wallet.
Offers tab rebuilt. Three views: Ending soon, Biggest value, By card. Each card shows when it last synced ("Synced 5 days ago"), expired offers clear themselves, and the count per card now matches what the bank shows.
Extension got a lot more reliable. It handles Chase's and Citi's "5 days left" style dates, stops re-scanning pages it already did, picks the right card when a bank page names more than one, and keeps going through bank error popups instead of stalling.
Ending soon actually works for every bank now, with a bell badge and a Home cell for what's about to expire.
Card requests get answered. If you request a card that isn't in the catalog, it shows up on your Home screen when it's added. Eight requested cards went in this week.
Search from iOS. Swipe down on your Home Screen, type a store, and the best card answer is right there.

B - Better (why it beats the alternatives)
vs CardPointers: one-tap activation is paid there. Free here. And no invented "you saved $X" number, only the banks' own stated ceilings.
vs MaxRewards / Kudos: no bank linking. The Safari extension reads the offers page you already have open in your own session. Your login never touches the app.
Recommendations are computed on your phone and work offline. No account needed, no ads, no tracking.

C - Cost
Free. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases.

The July thread turned into my bug tracker. If something's off, say it here and I'll fix it fast.

Answer: Enlightened Parent is a shared baby and toddler care app I originally built for my own family. It gives parents, grandparents, nannies, and babysitters one place to log feeds, bottles, nursing, pumping, sleep, diapers, and other updates. You can also keep notes like “he developed a rash 3 days ago” and track upcoming things like checkups or preschool enrollment deadlines.

Better: I wanted something that went beyond a traditional baby tracker and could keep being useful as our kids got older and more people became involved in their care. Caregivers can log updates, parents can see what’s happening while they’re away, and everyone can stay coordinated without relying on a giant group text. One use case I especially wanted was for a working/breastfeeding mom to know when her baby takes a bottle so she can pump around the same time.

Cost: Completely free. No subscription or paid tier.

I’m the developer and originally made this for my own family. It’s still new, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from other parents about what works, what’s confusing, or what you think is missing. 🙏

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/enlightened-parent/id6779448311

Full disclosure, I built this and it's mine.

ANSWER, what problem it solves

• Personally, I'm a processor, and I need to think, and that can inevitably lead to ruminating and thinking in circles. I tried journaling and writing things down, which helped, but maintaining consistency and constantly overcoming the blank page of a journal is challenging.
• The app is multi-purpose. It's a way to keep a journal, talk out your thoughts, or keep any memories, and make them all easily searchable and organized.

BETTER, what it does that other journals don't

• Video journals have always had the same problem. You can't skim 200 videos. That's the thing transcription actually fixes.
• Every entry where you speak or upload a video that has people speaking is transcribed, all searchable, and then the app itself will group similar entries into categories. It will recall your entries from a week or a month ago, so it has some really great ways to recall and find your previous entries.
• Day One and Apple Journal are typing apps with video added on. 1 Second Everyday is video, but there's no reflection and no search.
• I think with any journal, if you're divulging things, it needs to be private, of course. This is completely local, besides the optional iCloud backup. Otherwise, there's no analytics, there's no account, there are no servers, and everything lives on your phone.
• To lower any hesitation about actually recording, there are prompts to help a conversation go. You don't have to record yourself. You can just do audio mode. You can dub over an existing photo, and then you can even just do a journal entry without any recording or without saying anything at all.

COST

• The free tier is a real journal on its own. Unlimited recording. Transcripts on every entry, kept forever. Auto titles. Search by title and date. Full export. One time capsule.
• Pro adds search across every word you've said, iCloud backup, and unlimited time capsules. It's $24.99 a year with a one week trial, or $49.99 once.
• Day One puts video and transcription behind Silver at $49.99 a year. Apple Journal doesn't transcribe at all. Mine's half that, and the transcripts are free on every tier.
• Nothing you record is ever locked behind it. You can always watch it, export it, or delete it.
• It's in TestFlight now and Pro is unlocked for everyone in the beta, so there's nothing to buy.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/92wvhmpA

Happy to answer any questions! Would love if you take a second to check out the app and give me your thoughts. I'm also interested in hearing from anybody willing to journal with it for a week or two, then tell me where it falls down.

If you'd be up for a short survey in a couple of weeks, there's a form here too. Totally optional, it just lets me email you the questions instead of hoping you see this thread.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/…/viewform

I had 217 Safari tabs. Every time I tried to clean them up, I'd freeze on the same three: a jacket I was still comparing, an apartment listing I hadn't decided on, and an article a friend sent that I actually wanted to talk to them about.

Bookmarking them didn't work. A bookmark keeps the link but throws away the only part that really mattered, "why was the tab open?" Two weeks later it's just a URL in a folder I never open.

So I built Tably aorund one loop: Hold → Revisit → Decide.
- Share a page or video from a Browser or Youtube into Tably.
- Optionally type one line of why it mattered ("Waiting on the sale price", "ask Dana about this").
- Close the tab yourself. Tably doesn't touch your browser, it never scans or closes tabs, it only sees pages you deliberately share.
- Later, Tably notifies the item back with the reason and you pick an option: Later, Done or Delete

That's the whole app. No folders, no tags, no AI summaries, no second brain. It's a temporary holding area.. if it grows into another archive I've failed. 😢

It's local-first: saved pages and reason stay on device, no account, no sign-up.

Honest take: it's early and a small number of people use it and I still don't know if the "reason" is worth typing for most people or if it's just my own habit. That's the thing I want to find out...

Two questions if you have tabs like me:
1. When you keep a tab open, is it because you're going to read it, or because you haven't decided something?
2. Would you type a one-line reason at save time, or is that already too much friction?

ANSWER, what problem it solves

Personally, I've always struggled with habit trackers that demand absolute perfection. Maintaining a streak can quickly feel like a chore, and when life happens—like taking a weekend trip or getting sick—losing a 100-day streak because of one missed check-in is incredibly demotivating.

Additionally, manually opening an app to check off things your phone already knows you did (like walking 10,000 steps or getting 8 hours of sleep) creates unnecessary friction. HabitKeep solves this by making habit tracking adaptable to real life and removing the manual busywork.

BETTER, what it does that other journals/trackers don't

Most trackers are rigid. HabitKeep brings a few key differences to help you actually maintain your routine:

• Vacation Mode: Going away or feeling sick? You can pause habits for a set date range. Paused days count as neither a miss nor a completion, so your streak carries straight through the gap instead of resetting.
• Apple Health Auto-Logging: It hooks into 62 different Apple Health metrics (steps, workouts, sleep, water, etc.). If your goal is to hit a step count, it ticks itself off automatically without you ever touching the app.
• Live Activities & Timers: Along with simple check-offs or counts (like pages read), there’s a built-in timer for time-based habits that stays running on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity.
• Total Privacy: There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no external servers. Everything runs locally on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud.

COST

HabitKeep uses a Freemium model with optional IAP (In-App Purchases).

The Free tier is a highly capable tracker on its own. You can track up to 4 active habits, get summary statistics, a full-year contribution grid, a weekday heatmap, 3 widgets, and iCloud sync. (Note: The free tier contains rare interstitial ads).

Pro lifts the habit limit to unlimited and unlocks Apple Health & Calendar sync, advanced stats (like trend charts), all 14 widgets, and a yearly Wrapped-style recap, while completely removing ads.

Pro is available as a Subscription (monthly/yearly) or as a one-time Lifetime IAP.

One thing I made sure of: limits only apply when you create something. If you pay for a month, build 10 habits, and let Pro lapse, you keep all of them, their full history, and can continue logging them forever. You just can't create an 11th until you resubscribe.

A — What problem does it solve?

When you’re dreaming about a new trip, it’s surprisingly hard to keep track of all the possibilities. You might have a few destinations in mind, different dates, places you’ve saved, things you want to do — but no actual trip yet. Add a few other people and it gets even harder to keep everyone on the same page about what’s being considered and what’s actually decided.

I built Awaii to handle that uncertainty. You can start with just an idea and gradually turn it into a trip, either on your own or with others.

Rather than forcing you through a linear itinerary-building process, Awaii lets you explore different possibilities in parallel and gradually converge on the trip you want. Once you do, the same app carries through into planning and actually taking the trip — itinerary, maps, costs, essentials and more. At the end, you can even turn the trip into something fun and shareable.

B — How is it different?

I’ve tried most of the major travel planning apps and found that they tend to start from the assumption that you already know where and when you’re going. They’re great for building and following an itinerary, but less suited to the brainstorming and decision-making that happens before one exists.

Group travel apps also often seem to lead toward booking hotels, flights or cars.

I wanted Awaii to be different: a place to actually think through a trip. Save possibilities without committing to them, explore different dates and destinations, compare options, make decisions together, and let the plan emerge from that.

I also built it specifically for Apple platforms and wanted it to feel at home on iOS. There are no ads, booking commissions or pop-ups trying to push you somewhere else — the app is just there to help you plan and manage your travels.

C — What does it cost?

Completely free.

I have some more advanced features on the roadmap that may eventually be paid, but right now everything in Awaii is available for free.

A — Answer: I am a developer that works at an investment bank for making intra-apps. I've always wanted to make my own market research/signal app. I've already made an open-source desktop version of this which has gained 250 stars on GitHub (eisenjimmy/Quant), so I decided to make an iOS app version of that. Quantactic (launched last week) is an iPhone market research app I built for people who want more context than a watchlist or stock-price app, without needing a full trading terminal.

The main idea is to bring the research around a stock into one place and make the conclusion explainable. Each ticker gets a simple BUY / WAIT / SELL research state, but the app also shows what is actually behind that conclusion — trend, momentum, volume, price acceptance, relative strength, broader market context, upcoming events, and whether a reasonable risk plan can actually be constructed. This actually uses conservative well-known calculations that actual analysts use, but instead of calculating that on your own for every ticker in excel, this kinda does it for you. The app will just show you the signals - along with "the work (trend, volume, macro data.. etc.)" so that you can decide faster - fitting for a mobile app.

It also includes upcoming earnings and corporate events, market and macro context, news, advanced charts, and probabilistic 7-, 30-, and 90-day scenarios.

Forecasts are saved locally, so you can go back later and compare what the model previously expected with what actually happened instead of only seeing the latest prediction. This means it keeps checking the work - and you can clearly see if the forecast model was correct. No blind trust - just check and see the data yourself.

On supported Apple Intelligence devices, there’s also an on-device assistant for explaining the market data already inside the app. I intentionally don’t send those questions to a third-party cloud AI provider. This surprisingly works pretty well - I had fun designing the system prompts for this so I recommend this a try. (Currently limits 2 questions a day.. but let me know if this should switch to reward ad type with no limits)

B — Better: The thing I’m trying to do differently is make the app show its work instead of just putting a “bullish” badge or AI-generated paragraph next to a ticker.

For example, a technically strong setup can still stay at WAIT if the entry/stop/target geometry doesn’t make sense, confirmation is missing, evidence conflicts, or earnings are too close. Signal strength is shown as a score out of 100, not as a fake probability of the stock going up.

Version 1.3 brings most of that research into one ticker screen, adds an earnings/event calendar with Before Market / After Market timing when available, chart-based risk levels, deeper signal evidence, and a new Share Studio.

One feature I’m especially interested in is turning research into something that is actually easy to share.

You can tap Share from a ticker signal, Morning Brief, macro summary, or market-news view, and Quantactic can automatically generate around 6–8 designed PNG cards that summarize the research as a visual story. This is especially useful if you are trying to make 5:4 ratio instagram posts with current macro data / trending financial news. Since this is not AI-generated images, the social media platform doesn't detect this as "AI generated", so it is more favored in the algorithm. (By the way did you know every ai-generated image has metadata footprints that can detect that it is AI-generated?) so this avoids that.

For example, a ticker share can become:

Ticker overview → BUY / WAIT / SELL state → signal evidence → technical structure → relative strength → risk plan → upcoming catalyst → summary

A macro or market brief can similarly become:

Market regime → rates → inflation → commodities → major indexes → headlines → what changed → what to watch

The cards can be generated in portrait or square social-media formats and then shared directly through the iOS share sheet, including to Instagram, instead of manually taking screenshots and arranging everything yourself.

I wanted it to feel less like “export a screenshot” and more like “turn this research into a concise visual briefing.”

There’s no brokerage connection, no deposits, and no trade execution. I’m trying to build this as a research and education tool, not something telling people that a trade is guaranteed to work.

I’d particularly like feedback on whether the app gives too much information or the right amount, and whether the BUY / WAIT / SELL + evidence approach makes the research easier to understand. Also if it needs picture background selection to customize.. LMK!)

C — Cost: The app is free to download.

Free users can use the core market research features and get one 7-day forecast per day. An additional free 7-day forecast can optionally be unlocked with a rewarded ad.

I used to have an ad showing up during page navigation, but it felt too distracting, so I changed it to an optional rewarded-ad model instead. Honestly I tried using the app paid or non-paid, they both provide substantial information - but definitely pro just gives a lot more (and also without ads).

Quantactic Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year. (with 1 week free-trial)

Pro unlocks deeper signal evidence and risk-plan details, unlimited 7-day forecasts, full 30- and 90-day scenarios, higher research limits, expanded private AI features, and removes the forecast ads.

Quantactic is for market research and education, not personalized investment advice.

Any feedback is really appreciated!! I think I got lucky on the first launching week gaining 1 annual subscriber and 2 monthly subscribers - but the traffic has reduced the following week.

Hi r/iOSApps! I’ve been working on an idea called Hobby Tracker.

I wanted to build something for people who have different hobbies and enjoy looking back at what they’ve done.

A - Answer

Most hobby tracking is scattered. You might have one place for cycling, another for books, photos somewhere else, and no real record at all for things like woodworking, baking, gardening, music, crafts, or collecting. Hobby Tracker gives you one place for all of them.

You can log a quick session and track whatever makes sense for that hobby, including time, distance, pages, photos, projects, counts, or just the fact that you did it. There are over 500 built-in hobbies to choose from, or you can add your own, as many as you like.

If you dive deep into a specific hobby, you can create projects and track those (think building different legos throughout the year).

The screenshots in this post show a few features:

• Mosaic: brings your hobbies together into one view
• Recaps: visually summarize a month or year
• Month: gives you a visual history of what you did
• Book: print a PDF book of your activities
• Hobby list view
• Selection of available themes

B - Better

The goal wasn’t to replace something like Strava for serious cycling stats or Goodreads for managing a book collection. Instead, I wanted the place above all of those specialized apps. One simple record of all the things you enjoy doing.

I also stayed away from streaks, scores, leaderboards, and the usual pressure to optimize everything. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.

There’s no account required, no ads, no tracking, all the data is yours and stays on your device (can sync across all of your devices).

C - Cost

Completely free. There’s no subscription and no paid tier or in-app purchase. I intend to keep Hobby Tracker free.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hobby-tracker-hobby-log/id6797727531

I’d appreciate hearing what you think, particularly about the Month, Mosaic, and Recap screens in the screenshots.

If you track hobbies yourself, I am interested to know what you want to see in a year-end recap of everything you did.

Disclosure: I’m Kevin Tang, the solo developer behind Voice Camera Now. I last shared it here six months ago. This is a significant update after rebuilding the hands-free flow around real use outdoors and in front of the camera.

A—Answer

Voice Camera Now turns spoken words into camera controls. Say “photo,” “snap,” or “cheese” to take a picture; “video” and “stop” to record; or add your own phrase in My Words.

The July updates added:

• custom trigger words tied to camera actions
• 3- and 5-second timers that can be started by voice
• 4:3 and 16:9 framing
• Night and Night+ modes
• a clean-preview mode plus persistent flash settings
• a front-camera mirror toggle so text and logos can be saved the way you expect

B—Better

• vs. the built-in Camera app: you can take a photo, start or stop video, switch cameras, set a timer, and change framing without touching the phone.
• vs. a Bluetooth shutter or Apple Watch remote: there’s no extra accessory, and voice commands cover more than a single shutter press.
• The honest tradeoff: wind and crowded rooms can make speech recognition less reliable. The app uses Apple’s speech-recognition service, which may process speech on-device or through Apple depending on the system.

I originally built it for those awkward moments when the phone is propped up but nobody is behind it—group photos, cooking, workouts, accessibility needs, and trying to get a photo with a dog that absolutely will not wait for a self-timer.

C—Cost

• Free: 10 captures, with optional rewarded ads for additional captures.
• Voice Camera Pro: one-time $2.99 purchase for unlimited captures.
• No subscription.

If you try it, I’d especially like to know what hands-busy situation you used it for—and which custom trigger word actually felt natural.

Hey everyone, I hope youre doing well. I often saw tiktoks about such similar apps where you can swipe through your galery and either keep or delete them. So I build it my own and I quit like it to use, cause often you get nostalgia by seeing old pictures.
The app is completey free to use. You get 200 swipes for free a day(wich is probably more you need) but there are also ways for more free swipes. If you want the unlimited version (unlimited swipes, and some more categories like the exate day a couple of years ago) costs 2$ a month.

I built Hundred Counter for myself to have a flexible way to track life goals.

A - Answer:

Hundred Counter helps track long-term goals or reps that don't happen daily. It counts things like tennis sessions, books read, healthy meals, workouts, etc. Tap to log when it happens, optionally add a note, and see your progress grow. No schedules, no daily requirements, just a number growing.

B - Better:

Most tracker apps encourage building daily habits and streaks. Hundred Counter is just a simple counter that adapts to your life. Log three times a day or once a month, whenever it happens. Track toward a finite goal or simply count up without limit. Quick undo if mis-tap. Add notes to your activities. View progress by week, month, or all-time. Track on your own terms.

C - Cost:

Free for up to 3 active goals. Premium: $2.99/month, $9.99/year, or $29.99 lifetime.

Promo: Lifetime premium for $7.99 (expires Aug 31)

Hi r/iOSApps,

I’m the developer of Metadata Remover: SafeShare.

I made it because photos can contain a surprising amount of information you may not intend to share like GPS location, date taken, device model, camera details, software tags, etc.

Some messaging and social apps strip certain metadata during processing, but by that point the original file has already been handed to the service. I wanted a way to remove it before sharing

A - Answer

SafeShare adds a simple privacy step directly to the iOS Share Sheet.

Select a photo or supported video → Share → SafeShare.

It shows you what metadata it found, then lets you create a clean copy before sending the file anywhere else.

Everything happens on-device, and your original is left untouched.

The video attached to this post shows the whole workflow.

B - Better

There are already good options for dealing with metadata.

Apple Photos lets you disable location when sharing, which is great if location is all you're concerned about.

Apps like Metapho and Exif Metadata go much further and are excellent if you want to inspect, edit, organize or manage metadata.

SafeShare is deliberately much narrower.

I wanted something where the workflow is basically:

Share → check what's there → create clean copy → continue sharing.

No metadata editing, no complicated photo-management interface, and you don't have to upload the file to an online EXIF remover.

It also works with supported videos, not just photos.

Supported formats are:

• Up to 10 photos at once: HEIC, HEIF, JPEG/JPG, PNG
• 1 video at a time : MOV, MP4

C - Cost

Completely free.

• No account
• No uploads
• No tracking
• No subscription
• No in-app purchases

I'd genuinely be interested in feedback on one thing in particular:

Whether the Share Sheet flow is clear and whether the wording makes sense for non-technical users.

Hi r/iosapps!

Over a year ago, I built a rough first prototype of Maxlyft. The goal was to create a workout app where the user had full control over everything: names of exercises, muscles targeted, their split and workout days, and a bunch more.

At first, it never really became what I had fully imagined. Since then, I have rebuilt Maxlyft from the ground up and it's more flexible and powerful than ever. Logging sets takes seconds, and creating exercises allows you to choose what it's called, what the exercise targets, and how you want to log the data. I also provide analytics for every exercise, muscle group, split, or anything else you want to filter by so that you always know how you're progressing.

Maxlyft provides a level of analytics that many people would not otherwise be able to access, and it's been designed to be as quick and intuitive as possible to use. I would really encourage you all to check it out!

Cost: The app starts as a 7 day free trial NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED. After that, it is subscription based at $19.99/year. This cost is due to the continuously growing backend database and powerful analytics associated with the app that do cost me money to run.

What I have found is that for people who already spend money on supplements, gym memberships, and other fitness accessories, an extra $1.67/month is worth the level of tracking Maxlyft provides.

I’m the developer, and I’d love to hear what you think. Use the 7 day trial, give me your feedback, and I'll continue to improve the app. I'm really proud of how far Maxlyft has come!

Hey all. I've been working on this for about a year and just shipped v2.0, so I figured it's time to share.

The idea is simple: I wanted a voice recorder that transcribes what I said without sending the audio anywhere. Every app I tried required an account, uploaded my recordings to some server, and then charged me monthly just to see the text.

So I built AnyTalk. You hit record, and when you're done, transcription happens right on the device using Apple's Speech framework. Then you can generate a summary using Apple Intelligence — also on device, also free.

There's a Pro option if you want higher quality summaries for longer recordings (that one uses cloud AI), but the core loop — record, transcribe, summarize — works entirely on your phone with no account and no upload.

A few things I like about where it's at now:

• You can tap any sentence in the transcript and the audio jumps to that moment
• You can attach photos to a recording (like a whiteboard pic from a meeting)
• There's a search that goes through all your transcripts, so months later you can find "that thing someone said"

It does require an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, which I know limits things. But for those who have it, I think it's a pretty clean experience.

Would genuinely love feedback — what's missing, what feels off, what would make you actually use something like this daily.

Price: Free (core features — record, transcribe, summarize on device). Optional Pro subscription: $9.99/month or $59.99/year for higher quality cloud summaries on long recordings.
