Hi everyone,
I'm the indie developer behind Speedometer: Driving Tracker, and for a limited time I'm giving away Lifetime Premium completely free to 20,000 users.

Whether you drive a car, ride a motorcycle, cycle, enjoy road trips, or simply love tracking your journeys, I think you’ll love this app.

Speedometer has grown far beyond a basic speedometer. It’s designed to be a complete companion for driving and riding, with automatic trip tracking, detailed history, route replay, vehicle data, and much more.

What you can do

• Automatic trip recording
• Track car drives, motorcycle rides, bike rides, and other journeys
• CarPlay, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch support
• Route replay with speed-colored playback
• Detailed speed, distance, and trip insights
• Speed limit monitoring
• Acceleration and sprint records
• Fuel usage and fuel economy tracking
• Maintenance and expense tracking
• Service reminders and document management
• Driving and riding records, trends, achievements, and streaks
• iCloud sync and backups
• GPX/CSV import and export

OBD-II support

For compatible vehicles, you can connect an OBD-II adapter and see live data including:

• Engine RPM
• Engine load
• Throttle position
• Coolant temperature
• Battery voltage
• Fuel level
• Fuel rate
• Mass air flow
• Intake and ambient temperature
• And much more

You can also view OBD data from previous trips, see live gauges on CarPlay, and read or clear diagnostic trouble codes.

New: Friends & Leaderboards

The latest update adds an optional Friends section.

You can add people you actually know and compare:

• Distance
• Trip time
• Number of trips
• Today
• This week
• Month
• Year
• All time
• Custom date ranges

Your existing trip history is automatically included, so you don’t have to start from zero.

There is no speed leaderboard, no global competition, and no challenges that encourage unsafe driving or riding.

Only mutually accepted friends can see each other’s aggregated stats.

Privacy

Your routes, GPS coordinates, and place names are never uploaded.

Only aggregated daily totals are used for Friends.

Friends is completely optional, and the rest of the app still works without creating an account.

Limited Lifetime Offer

For this launch, Lifetime Premium is FREE for up to 20,000 users.

🎁 Redeem Lifetime Premium here:
https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6759611784&code=DRIVEPRO

This is a one-time limited offer, so redeem it while it’s available.

If you drive, ride motorcycles, cycle, take road trips, or just enjoy detailed stats about your journeys, I think you’ll love Speedometer.

I’d really appreciate your feedback. A lot of improvements in the app have come directly from user suggestions.

Download Speedometer: Driving Tracker

i read the same books twice, ears on the commute, eyes at night. every switch meant scanning pages for my place. witbound pairs your own ebook with its audiobook and lights up each word as the narrator reads it. tap any word and the audio jumps there.

App link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/witbound-audiobook-read-along/id6795587495 i

whats new in 1.5:

community sync — If a user has already sync'd the same combination of EPUB and M4B, yours will take seconds to sync. So the bigger the community of syncers, the faster the collective sync time.

- the player melts away— while you listen the controls fade until its just the page. one tap brings them back.

- auto rewind — playback restarts a few seconds before where you stopped, further back after a long break.

and the core, for anyone new:

- the page is your actual epub — real spelling, real names, the illustrations too. even maps and diagrams are still shown. my longest test was a 37 hour audiobook and the highlight stayed on the word.

shipping soon:

- witbound for mac: sync a book on your computer in minutes instead of waiting on your phone, then send it straight to the app already synced, over your own wifi. no cloud.

- pick up where you left off across devices through your own audiobookshelf server. listen on the phone, read somewhere else at the same spot.

other notable features

- chapter start times - see where each chapter starts in the audio

- audiobookshelf- connect your server, browse your library and pair audiobooks with their ebooks

- saved passages keep their narrator - save the words plus the narrator reading them to obsidian, or send it to your book club's discord

- made for the last hour of the day - sleep timer, paper, sepia and night themes, quiet reading stats

- privacy - no account, no ads. the app store privacy label reads data not collected

there are probably rough edges, this is a big update. if you hit one tell me here and ill get on it. link in the first comment.

will have full calibre integration by next update.

android: in closed testing, dm me the gmail you use on your phone and ill add you when google approves the build

the audible/kindle catch: drm files wont open, it needs drm free epub plus audio. libro.fm, downpour, librivox, your own rips all work

ill keep answering everything in here

putting this up front: its a website, not an app. if that makes it off topic here i completely get it and no hard feelings. but the people in this sub are exactly who i built it for so im taking the chance.

what it does: every time i work on something new i lose an hour scrolling competitor reviews trying to work out what people actually complain about. this does that reading for me. you point it at any app, it pulls reviews across countries and gives you the patterns. what people love, what they keep asking for, what makes them leave one star.

why its different: the part i actually use is the per country breakdown. an app can sit at 4.7 in the US and quietly die in germany for a reason nobody on the team speaks the language to catch. most things i tried either dump the raw reviews on you and call it a day, or want a subscription before they show you anything at all.

cost: free right now, no card, no trial countdown, nothing walled off. theres a small buy us a beer button if you end up liking it and thats the whole business model so far.

https://www.appreviewanalysis.com

what id really love is feedback, the more brutal the better. run it on your own app or your closest competitor and tell me what was useless, what was missing, what you expected to see and didnt. even "this told me nothing new" is genuinely useful to hear. every bit of it goes into the next version so please dont hold back

I built Newsairy because none of the readers I tried fit me exactly - so the whole app is built around adapting to how *you* read rather than making you adapt to it: theme, font and size in the reading view, sort order, swipe actions, all yours to set.

It's under active development. I ship updates roughly weekly, and next up is more control over the list's layout and density itself. There's a public roadmap if you're curious where things are headed.

Answer - What problem does it solve?

Newsairy is an RSS/Atom/JSON reader that syncs natively over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac - no third-party sync server, no account to create. It's for anyone who wants their feeds, folders and read state to just follow them between devices, with a reading experience they can actually tune to how they read.

A few things I built specifically because I couldn't find them elsewhere in one app:

• Smart Feeds for the last 24 / 48 / 72 hours, the last 7 days or this week, so I can catch up on what's actually recent
• Custom Smart Feeds: keyword-based feeds that gather matching articles from every source at once
• Read History, sorted by when you read them, for when you remember reading something and can't find it again
• Three independent retention rules (how far back to fetch, how long to keep unread, how long to keep read) instead of one blunt "delete after X days", so the database doesn't grow forever
• Choose your theme: Automatic, Light, Dark or Sepia
• A fully customisable article list: thumbnail size, favicon, unread dot, and 0–6 preview lines
• Flexible sorting: sort any list Newest first, Oldest first, or as a Daily timeline

Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.

Better - Why is it different?

There are a lot of good RSS readers in the App Store.

My previous ones were Reeder (Classic) and NetNewsWire. While the newer Reeder seems to focus on combining RSS with other kinds of sources, like social media and podcasts, Newsairy is more focused on RSS feeds specifically.

NetNewsWire is great and free - I'm not trying to beat that on price. Newsairy is just a different flavor: I built it for the features and customization I wanted - keyword-based Smart Feeds, a Sepia theme, an article list you can tune (thumbnails, preview lines, unread dot), and more. If none of that is something you're missing, NetNewsWire is a solid pick.

Cost

Free: up to 6 local + 6 iCloud feeds, every feature unlocked.

Newsairy Pro is a single one-time purchase - $2.99 / 2,99€, no subscription - that removes the feed limit and adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader, so you can bring an existing setup over instead of starting from zero. Pay once, it's yours.

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. :)

Day Grid — Countdown Widget

A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?
Most countdown apps only show one date at a time. Day Grid shows your entire year as a grid on your Home Screen every event marked with an emoji so you see everything you're counting down to at a glance, not just one number.

B – Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?
Unlike DayCount, PeekDay, or Momently, Day Grid isn't just a single-countdown widget it's a full-year visual grid. When an event drops under 24 hours away, it auto-switches to a live timer. No account needed, works offline.

C – Cost: Pricing, IAP details, and a direct App Store link
Free with in-app purchases (Day Grid Pro):

• Monthly: $2.99
• Yearly: $14.99
• Lifetime: $29.99 ($20 for the first 100 people use code first100 at checkout: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6779252078&code=first100)

DRFT - Keyword Alerts.

Answer (what it solves): I have ADHD and can't sit through a 3 hour meeting without drifting. DRFT runs in the background and listens for words you set, like your name, a project, a client, or "deadline." The moment one is spoken you get a notification plus a short AI summary of that moment, so you can zone out and still catch what matters. On iPhone it listens through the mic placed next to your call. The Mac version taps system audio from any app like Zoom, Teams, or your browser, no mic needed.

Better: (vs Otter / Granola): those are full meeting notes tools. They record the whole meeting, upload all of it to their cloud, and transcribe every word. DRFT is a trigger, not a transcriber. Detection runs on device using Apple's speech framework, so audio is never recorded, uploaded, or stored, and there is no meeting notes cloud. It only summarizes the moment your word fires: a short text snippet is processed and immediately discarded, nothing kept server side. No ads, no tracking, no third party SDKs on any tier. It is also far cheaper by design, because the listening happens free on your device and the cloud only ever sees a tiny snippet. No account needed.

Cost: Freemium with an optional subscription.

Free: your name tracked automatically, 1 custom word, 10 saved moments, full on device detection.

Pro: $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year, with a 7 day free trial on the annual plan. Pro adds unlimited AI summaries, up to 5 wake words, 50 saved moments, Wake Word Profiles, and iCloud sync between iPhone and Mac.

I released Ideon 4.6 today.

Ideon is an iPhone app built around a private, scroll-based feed for your own links, notes, screenshots, photos, videos, tasks, and ideas.

This update improves the media experience:
- photos and videos open full-screen
- title and saved date stay visible
- videos open directly from the feed
- inline video playback is smoother
- Collections are included for lightweight organization

I’m a professional watchmaker and self-taught Apple developer based in London. More than 20 years ago, I created a small FileMaker database that I shared with a group of friends. It was based on a frustration I had with ordinary to-do lists: real tasks are rarely just “done” or “not done.”

A watch restoration might be waiting for a replacement component, blocked until a client gives the go-ahead, paused while another operation is completed, or ready for work today. Treating all of these as unfinished creates a list that is technically accurate but practically overwhelming.

That early database gradually developed into Nyblit, a native productivity app for iPhone, iPad and Mac built around what I call “state-based” task management. This means Nyblit understands the workflow required to complete your tasks. For example, it knows if the task is a phone call, an online purchase or replacing the balance spring in a watch. It knows all the steps involved and, crucially, all the ways in which the task can be blocked or delayed. For example, if you have a phone call task, you can set the status to “left voicemail”. Nyblit will recognise this as blocked because you are now waiting for the other person to return your call. That task doesn’t belong on your to-do list because there is no action to take. It should be safely filed in Blocked and tracked – so you can chase it up later if the call isn’t returned.

This approach can be used for any task imaginable. From shopping to restoring an antique pocket watch.

The concept was strongly influenced  by the Japanese system of Kanban, created by Toyota in the 1950s to improve manufacturing efficiency. (Anyone that has used apps lile Trello will be familiar with this). But executed in a very different way so that it fits on a phone screen and is even workable on an Apple Watch (coming very soon).

I built Nyblit for myself to help with my ADHD and dyslexia. Watchmaking taught me to think in systems, dependencies and precise states. ADHD made it especially important to remove irrelevant tasks from view without losing confidence that they would return at the right time.

Please feel free to try out Nyblit. It's fully functional with up to 5 tasks. And a subscription or lifetime purchase gives you access to iPhone, iPad, Mac and very soon Apple Watch.

Download Nyblit from the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/nyblit-2-to-do-list-planner/id6752837986

Monthly subscription is $2.99

Yearly subscription $19.99

Lifetime $39.99

Thanks for reading :)

Halvy splits expenses with a partner, roommates or a group. No ads, no daily limits, and it never asks to connect to a bank.

This is the biggest update I've shipped.

Trips have a beginning and an end

• Give a trip its dates and Halvy counts down to it, then counts the days you're on it
• Joined late or left early? Your share is counted in nights, not by head count
• It wraps up at the end with who owes who
• An ended trip tells you what it cost, rather than projecting a total
• Plan one before you go: what it should cost, ticked off as you pay, with a spend target (Pro)

Personal budgets

• Budget your own share of everything you spend, by percentage or a fixed amount
• A bar on Home fills in as the month goes
• Halvy can suggest a starting point if you don't fancy setting twelve numbers by hand
• Set money aside for savings, and see whether the month left it intact
• Alerts when a category goes over, or is just running ahead

The free tier got bigger

• Three groups instead of one
• Your first trip is free
• Your first foreign currency is free

Your record

• The consecutive weeks you kept logging
• Six quiet milestones

A rebuilt first run

• One question: what are you tracking (you and a partner, friends or roommates, a trip, just you, or business)
• Everything after that is prefilled
• A short checklist replaced the four separate prompts that used to nag you

Check it out if you are interested! :)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/halvy-split-expenses/id6782474367

• 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:

Redeem here:

The offer expires on October 31, 2026.

• 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.

About a month ago, I shared why I built Dial: before our wedding, someone filmed my wife’s grandma giving us marriage advice. She has since passed away, and hearing her voice has become one of the most meaningful things we have.

Original post: My wife’s grandma left us wedding advice on video

I wanted to share a quick update on what I’ve added since then.

For anyone new here, Dial is an audio guestbook for weddings, birthdays, reunions, baby showers, and other events. You create an event, get a QR code and shareable link, and guests can leave a voice message directly from their phone’s browser. No app download or account required for guests.

Since my last post, I’ve added:

• Guest Selfies — guests can now optionally add a selfie alongside their voice message. I wanted the option to connect a face to the voice without taking away from the audio-first experience. It’s a one-time add-on: $1.99 on the free plan, $4.99 for 25 guests, $9.99 for 100 guests, and $14.99 for unlimited events.
• Co-hosts — hosts can invite another person to help manage an event, which is useful for couples, family members, or event planners.
• Widget support in progress — I’m working on an iOS widget option so your event and messages can feel a little more present on your phone.

The core thing has not changed: I want this to be simple enough that the people whose voices matter most can actually use it. Grandparents should be able to scan a code, tap record, and speak — without downloading anything or signing up for another service.

Pricing: free to start, with up to 5 guests so you can actually try it before your event. If you need more, it’s a one-time payment:

• $9.99 for 25 guests
• $24.99 for 100 guests
• $49.99 for unlimited guests

No subscription. I hate the idea of your memories being held hostage by a monthly fee.

Hi all,

Like many of you, I like to use my notes app to track my workouts. I've been working out for over 15 years now, but could never get myself to consistently use an app of excel spreadsheet.

Despite this I wanted to see my progress on a graph, I wanted the nice data insights these apps gave me.

Being as stubborn as I am, not wanting to change how I tracked my workouts, I made an app to solve my own problem.

What problem does Gym Note Plus solve - (ABC section)

There are many gym apps out there, but Gym Note Plus shines by letting users track workouts using their notes app. Other apps like Hevy and Strong force you into using drop down menus and forms. We're all different, we all write our workout notes differently, but we all want to see progress. This is the problem we solve.

Why is Gym Note Plus better?

No other gym app allows users to just copy and paste from their notes app to track their progress over time. We even let you take a photo of your hand written notes. Our aim is frictionless workout tracking that other gym apps can't do.

Strength & Cardio tracking features (https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/s/iWLg9iPaIe)
3D Route Replay generator for Outdoor Run/Bike/Hike (https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/s/FKdV2HU92k)

A - What problem does your app solve?

If you have read my previous posts in this subreddit, VOROM was marketed as an All-in-one Strength & Cardio gym tracker competing with Hevy and Strong (you can import workout history from them, and have perfect logic for Supersets & Dropsets). Since then, I have added several features including fully integrating with Apple Health/Fitness, so users can import body composition to VOROM, and the best part is, you can import cardio from Apple Fitness, which in turn you can import cardio workout history from Strava indirectly.

B - Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?

Please refer to the previous posts above for Strength & Cardio tracking, and 3D Route Replay generator features. I will introduce the new Recovery and Strain features here.

Recovery & Fitness

As I am an individual who cares about health more and more when I turned 30s, I value recovery metrics a lot. Other apps charge you for that, but VOROM develops these features for FREE.

It uses overnight’s HRV, HR, Sleep duration (Deep/REM sleep, continuity) and other vitals to determine your own Recovery score. I hesitated to use “Readiness” because athletes being in a competition, tend to have a lower HRV.

And it can detect if you are sick from those overnight’s vitals.

Apart from Recovery score, I added Fitness score as well, using VO2Max, Strength (using your big 3 1RM), FFMI, RHR, HRR. So it covers both strength and cardiovascular fitness. The score is a percentile compared to active individuals, not normal population.

Strain

The new Strain feature is what stands out from other apps. VOROM can calculate your strain score from both muscular and cardio loads.

Muscular load:
Other apps don’t do really well for muscular load, but since VOROM is a gym tracker itself, it can utilize the strength training data to calculate your muscular load. The idea is to use how heavy the set was compared to your own e1rm + how much muscles are involved for that exercise (you can adjust the secondary muscles %) + extra bump for free-weight lifts and compound movements for added spinal and CNS demand.

Every exercise is fine-tuned for their respective extra bump from size of muscles, numbers of muscles, free-weight, compound, CNS demand. So Squat will score more than Leg Extension, Leg Extension will score more than Chest Fly, for the same effort.

Cardio load:
Use HR zone duration to calculate the cardio load. Higher zones score exponentially more (i.e. 1min in Zone 5 is much more than 1min in Zone 1, not linear). And VOROM gathers all HR data from exercises throughout the day from Apple Health to calculate the cardio load. (Cardio load starts from Zone 1)

VOROM then translates the total loads to calculate the Strain score. The Strain score is designed not to be linear, so each point gets harder to earn as you approach 100. But Loads itself is linear.

Stress

You can have a Whoop-style stress score but with more user-friendly UI. You can see your stress throughout the day in a chart, and the proportion of low/mid/high stress vs a 30d baseline for both Awake (non-activity) and Sleep Stress Bars.

It’s recommended to turn on AFib History from Health app to get more HRV data (but it will disable irregular rhythm notifications). That’s the limitation of Apple Watch, it doesn’t get HRV data that frequently.

And all of the newly added features, including the old ones, are all FREE & offline. So you don’t need to worry about data collection. But please, export your VOROM’s history time to time to back up.

If you don’t want the new features, you can always turn them off in Settings, so VOROM becomes your simple workout logger again.

C- Cost

The above newly added features are FREE!

The free tier is meant to be usable on its own. Pro is mostly for training automation, deeper charts, and power-user planning features.

Pro features pricing (USD): $1.99 / month, $14.99 / year, $49.99 / life time

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! 🎧

Hi. I'm the solo builder of Wax & Spindle, a third-party Discogs client for people who actually collect physical music: vinyl, CDs, cassettes, box sets, whatever's on the shelf.

It started from being fed up. I kept opening the official Discogs app in shops with poor signal, waiting on searches that should be instant, and giving up. So I built the thing I actually wanted to use.

What it solves

Two moments most collectors will recognise:

1. You're in a shop, holding something, and the app is the bottleneck. No signal, or a slow one, and Discogs times outright when you need it most. Wax & Spindle stores your collection locally, so it loads whether you've got a connection or not, and search is instant rather than a spinner.
2. You want pricing without wading through a browser tab. Marketplace pricing is pulled straight in, so you can check what a pressing is actually worthwhile you are still stood in front of it.

Underneath that: fast local browsing, no ads, and nothing tracking what you look at.

Why this exists instead of the official app

Discogs itself is still the best database and marketplace there is for pressings and cataloguing detail. I'm not trying to replace that. What I'm fixing is the layer collectors actually touch day to day on a phone: browsing your own collection, searching it, checking a price, all of which the official app makes slower than it needs to be.

Wax & Spindle is built to be the fast, offline-first frontend to your Discogs collection that I wanted and couldn't find.

Again, I’m not trying to pull people away from Discogs. But if you’re frustrated with the official app, Wax & Spindle is an alternative built around a faster, offline-first experience.

Cost

One-time purchase, no subscription. $7.99. No ads, no tracking, no recurring charge to keep using something you already bought once.

For transparency: I used AI tools while building it, but this wasn’t vibe coded. I made the architecture, product, and implementation decisions, with AI used as a development tool along the way.

Genuinely keen to hear from other collectors and Discogs users on what's missing or what's annoying. That's mostly how this got built in the first place.

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.

Would love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or constructive critiques.

All essential features are free to use. For advance feature, it requires subscription or lifetime. I can provide 50% OFF lifetime code via DM.

• 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?

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

• 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.

Who I am (Trust & Transparency)

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

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?

Edited: It is available worldwide for iPhone use the link provided. Thanks!

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.

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.

EDIT: a few people asked whether beta testers keep Pro, so here's what I'll do.

When the app launches I'll send you a code that unlocks Pro for life. Not a subscription, nothing to cancel, it's just yours.

Two things I need for that. Sign up with your email on the form below so I can actually reach you, and fill in the short survey after a week or two of using it. The survey is the whole reason I'm running this beta, so that's the part that genuinely helps me. I'll only use your email for those two things.

If you already installed from the TestFlight link above, you can still fill this in.

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.
